'The sky's the limit' for Hawk

[woodbuck27]

A lot of people wanted him to take Vernon Davis.

That is true Harvey but we had need at LBer and AJ Hawk was as solid a player available in the draft last season fr. what i saw.

We wern't getting Reggie Bush.

Certainly it might have been Williams if he was still there but AJ Hawk was the consensus pick for us and a solid chouice as well.

I hate the Aaron Rodgers pick and the Justin Harrell pick as well. These will prove to be poor picks in time.

It's simple.

Are you getting heat for that pick?

Then you likely made a bad decision to go there.

The fans know the scoop. The fans arn't as lowly as some want to make out they are whenever there are differences of opinion regarding team direction.

The thing that concerns me is that being out of shape at camp as a first round pick doesn't exactly show a good work ethic as a player which is a red flag in regards to character. As I noted, it is early but my first impression isn't real high but he has loads of time to change it and I'm sure he could care less what some lamen poster has to say about him

Well, where is the deficiency at in his shape? If it is upper body strength, and adding a few pounds, that goes in flow with not being able to be in the weight room shedding fat and gaining muscle because of a torn bicep. I'm sure he has had to spend much more time on rehabbing the injury and less time in the conditioning area. Sounds like a normal sequence of events to me. I wouldn't worry about it. Everyone in the organization says he's a hard worker, so as his arm becomes fully healed and he can do benches, etc, I'm sure his physical conditioning will shortly follow.

CARDIO MY FRIEND. Numerous reports had him skipping drills and on the ones he did, he was huffing and puffing and looked like he desperately wanted to take a knee. Cardio has nothing to do with his arms.

I believe what you're referring to is football shape. Harrell hasn't played football in a full year and he's 320 lbs. I think it's normal to struggle a bit.

I'm glad we took Hawk; he's a centerstone of a future. I argued numerous times besides Reggie Bush AJ Hawk was the second best pick for Green Bay and wrote the pre-draft article urging Green Bay to select Hawk over Davis.
I'm all about Kool Aide for this LB
