AJ Hawk on trading block

I think Hawk is a casualty of their switch to the 3-4 defense last season. I don't think we can afford to get him at this point, plus I think we need to get players with 3-4 experience into our defense or groom our own 3-4 D players.


Yeah, why get a guy that can't play in our new system. Then again most of our guys were brought in under the standard 4-3 anyway. Sounds like a potential AH situation though. He might not like the 3-4 at all, just isn't being the royal pain in the ass about it like Ah is, or maybe he just can't get the system. Ohio State has been 4-3 since the dinosaurs were around.

Yeah, screw that guy. He's a liability and a horrible leader. When he tries to give a speech before a game people just walk away. When he tries to break it down after practice the team calls over the waterboy to lead the chant instead. He also kicks babies because he's so frustrated with his inability to tackle.

Well in that case, we should definitely trade for Hawk. He probably meant after Fletch retires though.

Yawn..

fail on the 3 way deal.....

fail on bringing Hawk to DC.... nothing to see here.

I guess what I want to know is why he has fallen out of favor in Green Bay. Not a good fit for the 3-4? Too much of a liability on the field? Coaching staff doesn't like him? I was under the assumption he was a quality linebacker, but quality linebackers don't miss games even when they are perfectly healthy. I'd take him if there's nothing substantially wrong with him and if he'd be a good fit for our 3-4 (and if we could get him cheap), but if it's something related to how he plays I'd probably decline.

In FA I would take a look at AJ but GB wants to trade him to get something back out of thier investment. With that being the case we are fine at ILB to even think of trying to aquire him, was my only point. I know he has played some OLB, but he is primarily an ILB.

Do not know anything more than what buster posted about his status with the team.

Eh...might be a good back up to replace fletch or rocky eventually??
How much longer can either of them stay with this team??

Hawk is on the block because Clay Matthews is an absolute maniac, while Hawk hasn't been able to stay healthy. Matthews is the guys the Packers thought they were getting when they drafted Hawk.

I'm a big fan of Hawk but he's comparable to Rocky. The Bills make the most sense. Lynch for Hawk, straight up.

Bills run a 3-4 and absolutely do not want to trade Lynch, or that's what the media says.
