Abdul Hodge Gone
This is the last thing I'm gonna say about Hodge, because for some reason I get in trouble when I defend him in here.
I watched Hodge dominate at LB for 4 years at Iowa. The combination of him and Chad Greenway was probably one of the best, if not THE best, combos we ever had. I am not going to sit here and say that we HAVE to keep Hodge. I know that Bishop should get the back up job. But having watched Hodge for so long, and knowing what he's capable of, I think it's something other than him being "slow and stupid". He read plays quickly in college and was in on almost every play. The NFL is a different game, but I can't help but have a little confidence in him. Is it wrong to root for the guy?
Longtimetimefan is right, too. They ran maybe 5 plays up the middle that game.
