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 . 😣
