Keeping Hawk on the field is a piece of the puzzle that equals wins for us. I don’t think he is a bust…getting rid of him would be though.

The Packers could have easily lost him, they had to release Tracy White to make room him on the roster when they couldn’t hide him on the practice squad.

Calling AJ Hawk a bust is bullshit. Being a 1st round pick doesn’t guarantee greatness. The guy is assignment sure, a good tackler, and not a big liability in pass defense. Most importantly, he is a solid guy, a team player, and he shows up and plays every frickin week.

Comparing a guy who is a solid LB and has even garnered his share of Pro Bowl votes to true busts like Ernie Sims, Brian Bosworth, etc. etc. etc… Get real.

Desmond Bishop was a great player in the preseason, but he had his chances in real games and he basically gave the coaches no reason to bench a veteran for him. Maybe it is his contract situation, maybe it is just that he is a slow learner, but I am glad he is finally showing what he can do.

Lastly, ripping the Packers’ coaching staff for not playing young players has to be some sort of joke. This coaching staff has NO reluctance to rely on young players. See Mike Holmgren’s coaching staff once.

Prior to the last few games, Hawk generally stood out for more bad things than good. However, AJ has been a standout the last few games. And despite his (frequent) shortcomings in pass coverage, he’s doing a helluva job against the run. By and large that makes him serviceable in my book.

I think the previous scrutiny was justified, but right now he’s one of our better players.

Makes me wonder if we’ll be able to keep him. He has got to feel some bitterness at being the forgotten man for so long. The comments about his willingness to be traded, and how draft position determined playing time, etc.

My thought was that he was held off the field because he gave up that big run to Chester Taylor in his previous stint at playing. It’s like that one play stigmatized the coaching staff into thinking he wasn’t assignment sure and couldn’t be trusted. Well that was then and this is now. Even then, he was coming in off the bench somewhat cold, that play was early in his reps, but he was solid the rest of that game.

All I can say is I’m glad we kept him around and it didn’t take him leaving to another team to appreciate what a stud he’s become.

We’ve lacked a physical presence at ILB for quite some time.

Yeah…I’d have to agree. I wouldn’t be pointing that idiot finger at anyone else first. Are you seriously going to bitch about the fact that the fourth inside linebacker on the depth chart is just as good as the 1-3. I think any of the four inside linebackers are about equal. I don’t see any one of them being head and shoulder better than the other. Bishop surely has looked good, and does look a little more stout and physical.
