I can't imagine this defense witout AJ Hawk right now, and I never thoguht I'd say that
I thought Hawk had a respectable year one and then fell off
I could not figure out how somebody could look so dominant and explosing in college and turn into a near j.A.G. that some in here though would be dispaced by DJ Smith
The only thing I speculated on was that the Packers coaches wanted Hawk to put on more bulk after his rooki e year and in doing so he lost speed and explosiveness
Truth be told this was what Bill Michaels and Wayne Larivee speculated years agao and after watching Hawk after I too jumped on that bandwagon.
Right or wrong, the thought has re-entered my mind this year as Hawk has shed ten points and is playing under 240 and seems to have some explosiveness.
The dude never vastely overpowered anybody; but he had a real nice combo of speed and power that allowed him to blow up some plays in college when given the opportunity.
With Mathews out he is being given the opporunity more to rush the passer and make plays
He's starting look like the Hawk I hated at Ohio State
And if you really watch him on defense the dude is a very intense leader who barks out signals and gets everybody in the right place at times where others sometimes looks confused
we're very fortunate AJ Hawk agreed to take a pay cut and stay in Green Bay
Dude has been reliable and raraly missed games; he deserves a ton of credit and there should probably be a line of people who are noting they may have been wrong about AH Hawk.
