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 . 😣

Zero2Cool (7h) : HUMP DAY

beast (8h) : Guys that have a good shot at making the NFL Hall of Fame usually get into their teams pretty fast

beast (8h) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (8h) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.

Zero2Cool (8h) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (8h) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (8h) : I guess I see players in Packers Hall come way later

beast (8h) : Yeah, usually teams hall of fames are a much lower bar than the NFL

Zero2Cool (8h) : is it uncommon for Hall before Ring?

Zero2Cool (8h) : S Xavier McKinney named first-team All-Pro by NFLPA

beast (10h) : I missed it, sorry, but he got into the NFL Hall of Fame years before that

Zero2Cool (10h) : Jones took his sweet ole time!

Zero2Cool (10h) : Yeah, he's in the ring of honor, just saw video and his name is up there

Zero2Cool (10h) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (10h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (10h) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (8-Jan) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : The winners page that is

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats beast on 2024 !

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : That might be it for the Vikings

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : 8 people in pick'em would have won any year with their total lol
