A.J. Hawk: The ‘Headless Horseman’

A.J. Hawk, one of the greatest true tacklers to ever don the green and gold is at it again this season. Through the first five games inside linebacker Hawk leads the defensive unit with 45 total tackles. Nearing the 900 career tackle mark (regular and postseason) that will likely come within the next few games,

Never gonna happen here or anywhere else.

Couldn't resist making this a topic.

I couldn't care less about tackle totals. After a rocky start the last few games have been the best stretch I've seen out of him in a while. If he keeps up that level of play it'll be huge.

He is literally the most underrated player on this team and a favorite whipping boy. He makes sure tackles and gets everyone lined up and ready to play. People who say Hawk "sucks" or isn't a playmaker obviously don't take other facets of defensive football into account.

I for one am proud and happy to have AJ on this team and look forward to him breaking records for this franchise!

HAWK RULES!

He's looked good the last couple games, though. Seems to be much more stout.

With B.J.Raji out, ILB has become a harder and more important position. A.J.Hawk is a very tough fellow. He is a leader and is having a good year. Remember that there are 10 other players that play Defence on any play. The Secondary is playing great and should only get better. The trenches are where games are won or lost . 😣

beast (7h) : Oh yes, sometimes they make using a cellphone tough. I just wanted to make sure it was the correct article, & thank you for pointing it out.

jdlax (9h) : I can't believe one of my teams went out and wablammo just up and acquired one of the best players in the world overnight

dfosterf (13h) : I do very much appreciate when Beast and others pick up my slack 😊

dfosterf (14h) : I accept Beast's admonishment regarding my failure to link stuff I reference. I simply never learned to link from my cell phone.

beast (14h) : That's not what your she said 😌, she said keep going 😏

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Anything over 4 hours means he needs to get to the hospital

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Someone might want to check on Hafley and make sure his erection has gone down

Zero2Cool (19h) : LaFleur texts "bleep me I cannot sit down"

Zero2Cool (19h) : YouTube has had me last hour or two lol

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Ugh this trade happened right as my shift started and it's killing me

Zero2Cool (19h) : Parsons wore 23 in high school.

Zero2Cool (20h) : Packers just cost Lions more money with Hutchinson too huh

Zero2Cool (21h) : That is fair by me.

buckeyepackfan (21h) : Kenny Clark is the player, 2 1st rnd picks

Zero2Cool (21h) : umm... what?

wpr (21h) : I am stunned

Mucky Tundra (21h) : RICKEY SCOOPS WAS RIGHT AGAIN!!!

Mucky Tundra (21h) : ITS HAPPENING

buckeyepackfan (21h) : DEAL IS DONE

buckeyepackfan (21h) : MICAH IS COMING TO GREEN BAY!!!!!!!!!

wpr (28-Aug) : Me do-ed it gooderly,

Zero2Cool (28-Aug) : Bahah, I was like WTF why isn't anyone posting on PP.com ... oops no one has permissions

dfosterf (27-Aug) : tell her I reckon

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
