the coaches value Hawk’s ability to make the right calls. Our defense was last in the league last year, so how many excellent adjustments did he make? And if he made them, but players were not making plays, then it’s time to change the players and give someone else a shot. Bishop was a clear upgrade over Barnett and they almost waited too long to make that move. I’d much rather see someone with potential mess up a few times, but make some plays from time to time than someone who’s consistently….average.

The easy answer is to replace Hawk with DJ Smith, but there are other possibilities. The rookie from NC State is a possibility; he might be better in coverage and as a rusher as a rookie than Hawk. The Packers don’t use their base defense much (3-4-4), and they’ve been picking up DLs and DBs. They could go 3-3-5 more, instead of the old 2-4-5, using their new D-linemen. Or they could go 2-3-6 more. Hawk’s the obvious LB to take off the field.
