We've been lamenting for years that the Hawks' o-line sucks balls. Getting rid of their only solid player from that unit might not make them better.

Can you tell I don't like this trade? I'm sure Carroll and Schneider's brilliance will shine through somehow, but right now, I'm having a hard time seeing it. It's probably one of those deals where they're looking at cap impacts a year or two down the road, and the value won't become clear until then, but in the short term, I think the Saints came out well ahead on this one.

Unger has shown to be somewhat injury prone of late, but the difference in the Hawks' running attack with him in the lineup vs. out has been night and day. Remember the Kansas City game last season? With Unger in the game, Beast Mode was unstoppable. As soon as Unger got hurt, that came to an abrupt halt. Coincidence? I doubt it.

It will be interesting to see how this pans out. I really shouldn't question Carroll and Schneider; they've made a legend out of seemingly questionable decisions leading to calculated results....
