Hawk has a spot on this team until he doesn't... everyone... and I mean everyone sooner or later is replaced.

All this OSU talk is just making the wait til tomorrow evening that much more difficult... hopefully Urb has a face like this on after the game with Wisconsin running wild.

Buckeye D has been suspect all year, they were able to overcome that by outscoring their opponents.

The loss of JT Barret really hurts.

Meyer won't use it as an excuse, nor will I, but IMHO, The Badgers are the better team going into this game.

Either way, The Big Ten(12?)(13?) will be well represented in The Bowl games.

MIKE MCCARTHY

.(On Hawk) A.J. still has a role. We have a lot of packages. We'll see how Atlanta comes out. He's been an outstanding football player for us. He's still a part of it.

Hmmmm should I believe Mike or dakotat????

Decisions Decisions

I think I will agree with The Head Coach!!!!

I don't know what the big deal is here, The Packers finally have a good number of HEALTHY Lbr's.

Being able to throw in different package after different package is only going to BENEFIT The Packers in the long run.

You all just stay hung up on AJ Hawk and the number of plays he is in.

In the end if The Packers keep winning and The Defense keeps improving, all will be happy.

Well, not all, those who look for something to bitch about, will find it.

MM was spot on with one part of his quote..."has been" sums it up quite nicely. He wasn't referring to AJ in present tense but past. He's being Jeff Saturday'd.

As for MM's hyperbole, I offer you this on Jarrett Boykin from this season:

"I'm as high on Boykin as anybody in our building," McCarthy said Friday from the NFL Scouting Combine, per Bob McGinn of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "He had a heck of a year, and I still think he has another jump in him."

"Clearly, Jarrett Boykin has taken the next step," McCarthy said Tuesday, via the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "I just love the way he plays. He's had an excellent camp.

"He's physical, his toughness, he's relentless. I think he's exceptional at the top of his route. You see his strength and balance to separate from a DB."

----LMAO... Where art thou oh, Jarrett,.. Where art thou? Mike McCarthy wasn't higher on ANYONE in the building than you.

EDIT: I'm sure Mike McCarthy would say Jarrett still has a role... 3 receptions for 23 yards this season. (almost as good as Alshon Jeffery)

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

I only brought Boykin into this to show how what Mike McCarthy says is not exactly always accurate as nerd pointed out above. Yes, he has made more game changing plays than AJ Hawk this season. Pretty sad.

Hawk forces a fumble about once every 3 seasons... has no TD's... rarely has a pick or a sack and tackles guys well down the field almost never in the backfield or at line.

A zero impact player. Good riddance.

I wouldn't go that far. A.J. Hawk says he was asked to lose weight and I think that was a mistake. He looks very skinny out there. I would have suggested he bulk some muscle and work on flexibility before asking him to shed pounds.

He looked SLOW on the play against the Queens. On a number of those plays.

If AJ makes it into the Packers Hall of Fame, I wouldn't ever visit it again on principle.

The guy defines mediocrity and no impact.

Pete Dougherty at Packersnews.com nailed it....just nailed it. That article is YEARS overdue.

http://www.packersnews.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/dougherty/2014/12/04/time-bench-aj-hawk/19932421/

Soon, there will be no more Hawk defenders as he will be released in the off-season. Finally.
