[QUOTE="profile_removed, post: 282877, member: 2086"] Hey guys, He retired 5 years before I was born and 9 before I started watching football so I don't know much about his career, or scheme he played in...but I've read alot about him, and have seen a lot of footage. My question is this. Can a FAIR comparison be made between Ray Nitschke in his prime and early in his career, and current linebacker AJ Hawk? Yes I know AJ is a bit bigger, but I have reasons for this. 1. When I saw AJ Hawk in the Fiesta Bowl knock the TAR out of Brady Quinn *His soon to be Brother in law at the time* I immediately thought 'that's a Nitschke move...knock your brother in law stupid for a couple minutes. 2. AJ like Nitschke isn't the prettiest tackler in the world. 3. And I mean this in all seriousness...AJ's been flagged for more 15 yard penalties in his short career so far than all of the inside linebackers I've watched play for the Packers in the 25 years prior to his being drafted. I'd be interested in the opinions of the older and also more knowledgeable fans on this one. [/QUOTE]
