To fans, A.J. Hawk is a walking disappointment. Yet he’s here. Eight years in, Hawk must be doing something right. Right?

Was hoping this article would filter through the news feed without anyone posting it.

Didn't want some realizing there is more than just "flash" when it comes to being a valuable asset to a team.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

It is no longer relevant. If you still hate him because of his play so be it, but if you hate him because he never lived up to the draft position expectations give it up already.

hes not a lawrence taylor or even a clay mathews but i always feel pretty good that hes solid enough to make plays and not cost us too many big plays, hopefully they dont let him go one on one with the recievers as much this season, because there arent many lbs who cover great downfield to begin with !!

As he's dropped weight last year/this year, AJ's looking quicker. I'm glad he's a Packer, both on and off the field.

BUT, he's available every week (not to jinx him of course) and he's willing to sacrifice his body for the team. I think Ted identifies with him, because they were somewhat similar as players.

I got tired of the Hawk pissing contests, both for and against. He was an awesome player for us in 2010. Had some coverage problems the last two years and wasn't getting to the QB. Those are all facts, both the good and the bad. The other important fact is our DL played like dog shit both years that Hawk has struggled. Coincidence? It all works together.

He's lost weight and looks much quicker. I'm hoping it helps him return to his 2010 form and that he has his best season ever. He seems like a great teammate and a good leader on D, who is always leading or close to leading in tackles. I think he will have a really solid season with this much talent around him.

Martha Careful (13m) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (4h) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (4h) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (21h) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (22h) : For now...

Zero2Cool (22h) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.

Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : Thanks Mucky and whomever created topcos for each pick!

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : Insane about Kingsley

dfosterf (28-Apr) : Putring it here so Mucky sees it. He was our guy!

dfosterf (28-Apr) : Bowden long snapper Wisconsin. Consensus best LS in college.

dfosterf (28-Apr) : We got Peter Bowde

dfosterf (28-Apr) : I personally interpret that as a partial tear that can be recovered from with rehab

dfosterf (28-Apr) : MLF said Kingsley Enagbare did NOT tear his ACL and did NOT require surgery, and that he is "looking good" for the 2024 season!

Mucky Tundra (28-Apr) : damn those vikings
