Its Time for Hawk's Paycheck to Match Winning Performance

[rbaloha1]

Moss has long prodded A.J. Hawk to do more than just be sure of his assignment. He's now extended that to the entire group, Nick Barnett included.

"A.J.'s efficiency was fine, but to not only give up a touchdown (pass) and to come back and not make any impactful plays, that's not even close to a winning performance," Moss said.

Clearly Bishop is in position to swoop in and take Hawk's spot.

If Bishop was good enough to take Hawk's spot he already would have. There is a reason Bishop doesn't see the field much. He needs to limit his mental errors.

Thanks. And yes, that DID put it in perspective. He said NONE of the LBs measured up to his new standards. That would include Bishop.

Agreed. Consistency is the only thing holding Bishop back.

Nonetheless Coach Capers opened up this position just like the rolb and the nickel position. Why?

Why is Bishop not mentioned by name like Hawk?

Why is Bishop not mentioned by name like Hawk?

Because he's not a starter? Because the only two LBs mentioned were the starters? Because Greg Bedard chose only the most interesting quotes to use? Who knows?

Good points. Is Barnett's starting position up for grabs like Hawk?

If he plays like he did against the Browns this week it might be. Check him out on the first play in the "highlights", where he just stands still looking into the backfield until the ball is caught right by him-

Moss is using tougher grading standards.

I wonder which linebackers' parents will come in to bitch at Moss for being unfair to their children?

Who else is available to compete against Barnett? Is the ilb a weak spot?

Heard two things about Bishop while driving yesterday:

I think it was MM (maybe Capers, I've forgotten) who basically said Bishop has been playing mostly great, but in the first game totally blew his responsibilities twice. Then he said something to the effect of, "We just can't have that, but otherwise he has played great."

An interview with Bishop in which he said he tries to overlook the fact that because of "the cards he was dealt" in coming to GB he has never had a fair chance.

The "fair chance" comments keep coming from Bishop's mouth. Perhaps it is that attitude that retards his growth in overcoming the mistakes. If he can't accept his own shortcomings, will he ever improve them?

Ego maybe is Bishop's biggest obstacle. Dude has a real chance to underseat Hawk and sign a big contract.
