I'm just done with AJ Hawk. You cannot coach that out of someone that's simply his instincts at work. At the very least you have to give a young gun like Barrington more than 0 snaps next week. I doubt Dom will bench a precious veteran but there's no excuse not to give someone else an opportunity after the display from both our ILBs. I'll say this about Brad Jones though I've never seen him make a spineless play like that. He may miss a tackle but he'll at least stick his nose in there every chance he gets.

My take was that he feared Harvin's agility and didn't want to overpursue or get juked. Let's face it, Hawk is not that quick or agile. I agree about Barrington and Lattimore. Richardson too.

Here's the whole video, not just a picture.

JMO, no way was Hawk going to get to Harvin before he made the 1st down.

He adjusted his angle so Harvin could not cut inside.

He might have had a better chance of going straight at Harvin if Peppers would have keyed on Harvin instead of standing up, taking 1 step and gets blocked by the OT.

Of course I don't know what defense was called, or what the responsibilities of each player was on the play.

I guess all that information will be gone over when the coaches and players meet.

But yea, it's time to set Hawk and especially Jones down and let the young guys show what they have.

He could have easily reached Harvin for a loss if he never slows up. Even if he misses the tackle at that point it gives someone else more time to get there and make the stop. Hell he still had a shot to stop him even after he quit running but then for some reason he ran backwards behind Micah Hyde.

I guess he's scared the young guns might force the issue and make him look bad. If both ILBs are playing like complete crap there is literally no reason for their back ups to play 0 snaps.
