I snuck over to a Lions forum and found them feeding on each other. It is getting nasty in there. Calling each other names and shit. The most interesting thing was the debate about who is a better LB. EVERY post but 1 said that Hawk is better. And these are Lions fans posting! I like it. I have cut and pasted some of the more interesting posts.
--------------------------------------
it seemed pretty clear though that Hawk is the better player then Sims. His
sack on Kitna was a far bigger play then anything Sims has come up with, well unless you count getting steamrollered once every game as a big play, then Sims is a great player. He is Barrett Green 2.0
I will always say it, I'll take 6'2" & 250 at LB over 5'11" & 220 any day of the week.
----------------------------------
Sam, I think most here would agree we felt - in fact almost knew - that Hawk was better.
Heck, I was drooling for the Lions to get him; but the additional reality was that he just wouldn't be there.
Hawk - at least in college - was much less erratic than Sims; he has displayed a great combination of speed AND accuracy, going to the ball (and not just "looking to take someone's head off").
But let's give Sims some time....he'll only get better, should he stay healthy!!
---------------------------------------
What the heck does that have to do with anything...Hawk went several picks ahead of Sims. Why do we insist on comparing players that there is no real reason to compare. I mean, that's like saying Bush looks better than another player. Only one other team had a shot at him, so what's the point? (MY COMMENT: IF YOU DONT COMPARE ONE LB TO ANOTHER, HOW DO YOU COMPARE THEM? THIS GUY IS IN DENIAL)
---------------------------------------
it has to do with Sims is just another bad pick, but everyone on this board like to say Sims will be good & Hawk will be a bust. Many even wanted to use this game to compare the 2. So, if you want to compare. Hawk is better then Sims. Yes, sorry to say, once again I wasted my entire Sunday waiting for the game to start & then watching it. & I also saw Sims blitz a few times & got nowhere close to the QB.
But the reality is, the Lions have no defense at all, again. It has been the same every year since Millen has been here. Week 1, the play descent to give everyone a little hope, but then they fade. This year it only took until week 2 to see the fade. 65 points in 2 weeks. Everyone saw we had no pass rush last year, but hey why not take an undersized LB?? That will take care of the defense.
----------------------------------------
as for hawk.... yes, he's a beast.
and sims.... did he even play today?
and then there's our best player, rogers, he was OWNED all day long.
