Redskins Made Smart Choice With Kerrigan

lets just wait and see........... AJ Hawk, was suppose to be a stud, and he is a sub par player.......... they got it right with Clay Matthews, but he is rare..... there arent many clays out there.

Hawk a sub par player? Really? Do you watch football? Maybe he doesn't get sacks, but he's pretty darn good in coverage and makes tackles from sideline to sideline. I'd take him in the middle in the Skins D any day.

AJ Hawk was affected by the transition to the 3-4 but still was able to adjust a bit. Put in as a 4-3 LB and I think he'd be much better. Ppl tend to dismiss how much scheme can affect a player effectiveness.

Compared to Rocky McIntosh? Hell yeah. We have to find a replacement for that bum.

Still, there's a fairly solid consensus is that Hawk has been a bit of a letdown.

Hawk is an ILB. Kerrigan an OLB. Cannot compare the two.

Man I love to hear that ... can never have too many great character guys in the locker room especially if he translates and becomes a stud at the next level. He would be an awesome influence in the locker room for younger guys coming in.

I gave it a "B". At first, I thought that among all of the defensive needs, another pass rusher was a bit further down the list.

But then you have to consider: Orakpo is getting held practically the entire game, and if he's not getting pressure to the QB, then we're not getting pressure on the QB. The coaches obviously saw that. So sometimes even one great pass rusher isn't quite enough. During the glory years it was Mann and Manley -- hopefully Rak and Ryan can come somewhere close to that.

AJ Hawk is more like a Brady James than anything else

F ing Jamie Dukes just said on on the NFL Network that Ryan Kerrigan was a BAD PICK. WHAT?!?!

12thMan · 04-30-2011, 11:38 AM

Fug Jamie Dukes.

This kid smashed Michigan last year. He had 10 solo tackles, including 5 for losses with 4 sacks, two fumbles forced and one recovered. I think he'll be aight.

Yeah, but they didn't have a mobile QB.

Backup Excuse: They weren't an SEC team.

12thMan · 04-30-2011, 11:44 AM

On a team that needs a tackling machine, someone with good fundamentals, this kid fills that need. He had a lot of tackles for losses, which is a good thing.

But he didn't play in the SEC.
