A.J. Hawk

I'M RIGHT THERE WITH YA ND; PLUS WE GET TO SEE THE HOTTIE GIRLFRIEND AS WELL

WORST. TAKE. EVER.

I'm livin' here in Ohio and have seen Hawk play for four years now. I like the guy. I think he can be a solid LB. Still, I'm a bit worried about his ability to cover deep. The mental aspect of it seems to be fine. He seems bright, knows coverages and adjest very well to a mobile QB. What I am sorried about is his size and ability to react to the ball covering TEs right up the middle. Certainly he's fast enough, but will his vertical be enough. I know it seems like a minor point, but when the Packers line up against the 49ers, and Hawk gets to cover VD, perhaps then we'll know the answer for sure.

one thing seems certain - the face and character of the GB Packers looks very different. I can't imagine how the offense will be explosive this year and if Hawk plays as well in the NFL as he did with a loaded defense in college, it should improve the Packer's defense.

The voice of even-tempered pessimism.

I miss FritzDontBlitz and Sparkey.

People predicting the draft are like weather forecasters. By the time you figure out they are wrong, its too late to do something about it.

Seriously, now I am just repeating myself on 3 year cycles.

Smash mouth!

For two years he looked like this player with those athletic traits, then everything came apart. I think he had an injury and then he rebuilt himself for teh 3-4 and lost all that quickness and speed.

If he was so terrible, it should have been easy to fill his spot with any jack off. Yet anyone they put in there doesn't look leaps and bounds better than Hawk. To the contrary, they are worse if for no other reason they are far from dependable.

So the upshot from MM's comments would be that Dom is near God-like, and Ted should be fired b/c the players suck to high heaven??

Wrong thread, lol...

Terrible? Maybe at the end with the ankle/foot injury.

But after being compared to Urlacher, with athletic measurables to match, he really settled into average for the balance of his career. That is quite a comedown by itself.

Ponders if I cursed him

I expected him to be a star but he never got there

25 year old me sounds like a cocky idiot. Ugh.

[Pugger]

Who are the other 10%? Do they not know enough not to believe Prisco, my new mortal enemy? I want M3 to tape that article on the locker room wall and then stuff it down his throat at the end of a stellar season.

(I sincerely apologize to the person who posted that we should avoid reading that article. I should have remembered your warning and heeded it.)

Where has MJZiggy gone?

Where has MJZiggy gone?

007 too.

We lost many a good brother and sister over the years.

Oh well, we lost quite a few assholes, too.
