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 (9h) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (9h) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (11h) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (12h) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (13h) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (13h) : Thank you

wpr (13h) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (13h) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (13h) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (13h) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (13h) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (14h) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (14h) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (14h) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (14h) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (15h) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooooooohhhhhh he missed!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE

packerfanoutwest (21-Jan) : Zero, per your orders, check Bearshome, not packershome

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Then he'll land with another team and flourish.

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Ben going to Bears. He'll be out in 3 years.
