Bunkley wasn't that good this year before he got hurt, and we did great without him for a huge chunk of last year. Veteran nose tackles are a dime a dozen. We don't need him.

We don't have to. Humber is better than Hawthorne and he's already on the roster.

Humbar had 29 tackles, no sacks and no ints, played in 15 games
Hawthorne had 47 tackles, 3 sacks and 1 int, played in 11 games

Curtis Lofton is 5th in the NFL in tackles. Do you think that makes him the NFL's 5th-best defensive player?

Stats don't tell the whole story. I use my eyes. My eyes tell me that Humber is younger, faster, better in pass coverage and doesn't overpursue against the run all the time.

And all of Hawthorne's sacks came in one game against Jay Cutler. He is hot garbage. We would've been better off re-signing Will Herring to play that spot all year.

The fact that Hawthorne only had 47 tackles and played 90% of the snaps says it all.

Stats tell a lot of lies. Ill never agree that we should keep Hawthorne or Bunk and PFF a stat site would agree with me.
