Hawk, Bishop Ruled Out For Sunday

So it's D.J. Smith and Francois. Sounds like Smith will be wearing the headset, although Woodson and Burnett also practiced with it this week. I wonder if Giants will try to isolate receivers on Smith to take advantage of his lack of height.

Who the heck is next in if Smith or Francois get hurt?

Jones played some inside backer in preseason and I am guessing Lattimore would have to as well. Or they play a lot of dime personnel.

The 3-3-5 will probably be in effect for the second half.

This is going to be Smith's true breakout game... if Hawk continues to stay out with Bishop back next week, who knows, might be the beginning of the end for his stay in GB. I know that's going out on a limb and probably ridiculous to some of you. Just think DJ is a ball player who will be hard to keep off the field.

Smith is hard to block. I really, really like him.

Not ridiculous at all, I would love the combo of Bishop and DJ as our starting MLB. Trade Hawk for a OLB during the offseason or let him go unless he improves his play which I don't see happening.

I love how we went last year praising Hawk for being the general on the field, now we are ready to trade him for an unproven 5'11" rookie. I remember when Bryan Brohm was our savior against Aaron Rodgers by so many here. Hawk isn't going anywhere.

DJ Smith is not Brian Brohm from a Packers contribution standpoint. We're allowed to make predictions, and most times be wrong, but I have a hunch that Smith is not a 5'11" backup his whole career. Much more than that actually. You'll see it if he gets extended opportunity.

And I'm not bashing Hawk at all. Recent coaches quotes on Smith are that he was born to tackle people and has incredible football instincts. Sometimes the next guy just ends up being better... Barnett vs Bishop. That's my hunch.

You don't resign a guy and then cut him the next year, your salary cap would be all fucked up, and Hawk's play on the field and his contract won't benefit the packers in trade scenerios.

Grow up.

Get over your "man crush" of Hawk, hes not that good. Hes like the Atari Bigby of our LBing corp, hes JAG.

Blow me, its a joke that his guy will be making 7-8 million a year for the next 3-4 years.

[Upnorth]

Hawk is not a JAG but he has not earned 7-8 mill this year (hope that is inaccurate) much. Like Jones is not garbage, but hasn't earned his 4 mil this year.
We are lucky the giants rb corp is depleted, we had enough trouble covering rb's and te's before, now what could happen?

[Guiness]

Don't like the idea of Smith with the headset. I wonder what the idea behind that is? Does it have to be an MLB in this scheme? You would think they'd give it to a vet, or at least someone who's been starting all season.

Who knows though. Maybe he's got a great grasp of the D?
