Who are our inside LBs?

Barnett, Hawk, Bishop, Chillar.

Yeah, we're gonna hang on to Hawk (as we should). I feel as though his draft selection still holds him hostage. If he was a third rounder we'd all be talking about what a solid player he is. Isn't that a little messed up?

And if you think I'm simply poo-pooing any critical discussion regarding Hawk, I'm not. He isn't a perfect player. Discussions are merited. But it seems to me that fans are too eager to dump off solid players if they haven't lived up to huge expectations. It's hard for me to imagine a scenario wherein Hawk leaves and our LBs as a whole are better for it.

William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

They can't cut Hawk.. won't happen. But if someone was willing to trade for him and clear the path to see what we have in Bishop completely.. I could see that.

Bishop is hurt. I think he'll be traded before Hawk does.

Why do you always have to bang on Bishop. ;)

What next.. saying Colledge is inconsistent and Bush has mental lapses at times.

I just am not impressed with him anymore. Kind of like the raves about Shields, I hear them, but am not seeing the reason for them. It's almost like 'hey lets boast about this guy because its a change!' and there's no real substance behind it.

I'm not seeing him do much, other than special teams. I think he's a more versatile version of Abdul Hodge.

It isn't about expectations or draft position. It is about bang for buck, and these two guys waaaaaaaay overpaid. I don't want anyone traded, but I do want salaries to somewhat reflect production. I'm still flabergasted by Poppinga's contract and that has been 3 years now.l

No, it isn't.

Let's say you are hired for a Senior level position and are making about 20% more than the guy they hired to do the Junior role, who was fresh out of college.

If he performs better than you, you're in trouble.

I think the analogy fits to football. First round picks have higher expectations that they better live up to. We had higher expectations for Raji and CM3 and so far both have fulfilled them, especially CM3.

Your not impressed because he doesn't get a ton of playing time to impress and he can't cover man to man for a lick.. much like Hawk.

The difference between him and Hawk is in the box..

Ya the guy isnt the best at his position but IMO hawk is a solid LB he makes a lot of tackles and he is a good tackler.If I recall he was second on the team with 89 tackles 1 sack and 2 int ya not the best but hey it is productive.I looked at all the seasons since he was drafted he is a consistent LB he was either 1st or 2nd on the team with tackles and he does make plays once in a while.

Zero2Cool (10h) : Jets have named Chris Banjo as their special teams coordinator, Former Packers player

Zero2Cool (18h) : Jaguars have hired Anthony Campanile as their DC. We lose coach

Zero2Cool (30-Jan) : QB coach Sean Mannion

Zero2Cool (30-Jan) : DL Coach DeMarcus Covington

dfosterf (30-Jan) : from ft Belvoir, Quantico and points south. Somber reminder of this tragedy at Reagan Nat Airport

dfosterf (30-Jan) : So eeri

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?

beast (30-Jan) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.

beast (30-Jan) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired

beast (30-Jan) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Packers coach Matt LaFleur hires Luke Getsy as senior assistant, extends Rich Bisaccia's deal

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Chiefs again huh? I guess another Super Bowl I'll be finding something else to do.

Mucky Tundra (27-Jan) : Chiefs Eagles...again...sigh

dfosterf (27-Jan) : Happy Birthday Dave!

Mucky Tundra (27-Jan) : happy birthday dhazer

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Exactly buck...Washington came up with the ball. It is just a shitty coincidence one week later

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : I forgot, they corrected the call a week later. Lol btw HAPPY BIRTHDAY dhazer!

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : That brings up the question, why wasn't Nixon down by contact? I think that was the point Kanata was making.

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : Turnovers rule, win the turnover battle, win the game.

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : well, he was

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Eagles down by contact on the fumble....fuck you NFL

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : I think this games over

beast (26-Jan) : Eagles sure get a lot of fumbles on kickoffs

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : This game looks too big for Washington

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : that being said, The Ravens are the Browns

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : Browns, Dolphins have longest AFC Championship droughts

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : As of today, Cowboys have longest NFC Championship drought,

beast (26-Jan) : Someone pointed out, with Raiders hiring Carroll, the division games between Carroll and Jim Harbaugh are back on (who can whine more games)

beast (26-Jan) : I'm confused, Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer? When Todd Monken, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Kliff Kingsbury and Zac Robinson are availab

Zero2Cool (25-Jan) : Any reason I'm catching a shot here about my intelligence?

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (24-Jan) : Rude!

beast (24-Jan) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁
