A.J. Hawk is still on the job

Ask Hawk this same question — his value to the defense? In Year 9? — and the veteran chuckles initially.

Haters can hate year in and year out but Hawk is a man that shows up every Sunday and does his job..
He's not sidelined with a boo boo or in the hot tub with an ankle sprain.
You can depend on him to be on the field doing his job.
He's a tough SOB, you got to love that.

Hawk has done a decent job for this team. Like it or not he will end up in the Packer Hall.

Brings his lunch pail and goes to work. Better with him than without him.

I also argued that Jon Ryan's inconsistence was better than consistently bad which is what they first replaced him with.

I don't mind if they replaced Hawk, but the guy has to be better than Hawk and make him prove it... sadly none of the many other ILBers have been able to consistently play up to Hawk's average level.

Hawk looked slow today. Extremely slow.

A good offense coordinator will exploit Hawk's deficiencies, ALWAYS, so I would have to disagree with the lunch pail crowd that keeping Hawk on the field is a good thing. But until this team can find better players, Hawk is our guy. I just don't think he is a 3rd down linebacker - haul his ass off the field when playing dime.

Gonna have to go back and watch the game, but I know I saw on some 3rd downs today that Hawk was not on the filed and it actually looked like Micah Hyde was lining up at the inside LB spot.

Must of been another new look Dom came up with.

EDIT: Agree wasn't one of AJ's better games.

Pretty sure I saw Brad Jones in on 3rd downs also, guess I'll wait for the stats(# of plays) to see just what The Packers did on D.

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