A.J. Hawk

[Bretsky]

for all of you who have talked to me on here, you know my love for A.J.....i can't even put into words what this day has just made for me. just unreal for me.

Anti-Buckeye bias in the state of Wisconsin?

I still hate the Buckeyes, but I am mighty pleased to have AJ coming to Green Bay.

[FritzDontBlitz]

having improved our defense during this offseason has actually made our offense look so much better, because it not only limits the other team's scoring opportunities but the potential for turnovers increases substantially.

i can't wait to see woodson and al harris on the field together strutting their stuff, shutting down receivers and blitzing off the corners.

the idea of aj hawk and nick barnett roaming the field together is mind boggling.

our defensive line will be greatly improved with the acquisition of pickett as the runstuffer in the middle, and the young unheralded d-line players will greatly benefit from the new weight training program to create the best defensive line rotation in the league - to those who may doubt the ability of our line, think back to how they were flying all over the field frustrating michael vick in the georgia dome last season.

i am quite pleased with this offseason. thanks, teddy bear

I can't wait to see the rivalry explode in the Packer locker room come late November between the Ohio St guys and the Michigan guys!

Were just getting started FDB. That second round pick is probably the equivelent of where we pick in the first round most years. We should land a player.

89% of respondents on JSO are happy with the Hawk selection--not that it really matters.

Hawk is one scary looking dude. I hope to see him staring down opposing QBs for years to come.

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.

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.)
