Default Re: Packer fan thoughts

I was a big Hawk fan. Great guy, no question. Not entirely fair, but I always felt just a little disappointed in his play. He was solid, when I wanted spectacular, I guess. Seems his name was never called on a tackle for a loss. Schemes weren't meant for him to be that penetrating LB that I wanted him to be. I do wish him the best and believe he's got a couple more good years in him....hopefully somewhere other than NFC North.

Solid is the word. His name wasn't called too often on the big plays, but it also wasn't called on the stupid penalties. He's like the solid offensive line guy who's name never gets called. That's not necessarily a bad thing.

Nice guy and a fan favorite when it came to interacting with the fans. My son was into painting and sketching the Packers players when he first came to GB. I actually have an original canvas he did of AJ that he was kind enough to autograph. My son also did some pencil sketches that AJ proudly displays in his mancave.

That's because his football IQ was severely lacking, something which was supposed to be one of his strong suits coming out of tOSU. If a tackle was needed eight yards past the line of scrimmage, Hawk was your guy.

He wasn't even starting for a team that starved for inside linebacker play and had no depth to provide it. I pray he lands on the Vikings squad, where it seems old Packers go to pasture.

Packers re-sign both Cobb and Bulaga. Happy to see them both return.
