I really want to be high on AJ Hawk, but am still having a tough time with it.

All I see from him is blown coverages and tentativeness attacking runners. Is he declining or an I overly critical?

If I were in charge of the line up right now, he'd be playing behind Bishop. I'd much rather have the fiery players on the field.

Very over critical...

Bishop is flashy... because he makes flashy plays... but he also gives a ton of them up...

Hawk makes the least mistakes on anyone on the defense other than maybe Woodson and Jenkins.

Bishop is very limited to his speed and makes more mistakes than any of the ILBs.

Right now I say Hawk and Chillar should be the starters.... Barnett should keep recovering and learn how better technique to keep guys off him... if possible Bishop needs to get faster and stop making mistakes.

I have to disagree with you. Bishop hasn't played enough to give up a ton of plays. I don't really see how bishop is limited to his speed. Why? Because he is a ball hawk. He has good hands, hits hard, brings pressure. Not too mention he brings energy. Bishop gets better every time i see him play.

Your not being overly critical at all.. he has been regressing or at best plateaued since the 07' Cowboys game.. that is when I started to notice that he wasn't attacking anymore and started to become a little more passive in taking on blockers...

Solid player, just not reaching his potential at all..

I hold hope yet that someone will piss him off and the real AJ Hawk will start to show up Sunday's.. the same one that used to be all over the place in college.
