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!

Mucky Tundra (48m) : Funny observation I've heard: Carson Wentz was on the sideline for both Eagles Super Bowl wins w/guys supposed to be his back up winning

Zero2Cool (6h) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (6h) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (6h) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (6h) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (6h) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.

packerfanoutwest (6h) : it was always after the SB.....

beast (16h) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (16h) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (16h) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (17h) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (17h) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (17h) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (18h) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (18h) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (18h) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (18h) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (18h) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (18h) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (18h) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (18h) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (18h) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (18h) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (18h) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (18h) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (18h) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (18h) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (18h) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (19h) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (19h) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (19h) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (19h) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (19h) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (19h) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (19h) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (19h) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (19h) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (19h) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (19h) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (19h) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half

Mucky Tundra (19h) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (19h) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs

Mucky Tundra (19h) : this game is over

Mucky Tundra (19h) : This might be the kill shot here

Mucky Tundra (19h) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop

TheKanataThrilla (20h) : Philly DL has come to play

TheKanataThrilla (20h) : Ceoper DeJean with the INT scored...bad memories of draft night

Mucky Tundra (20h) : ok scratch that
