Barnett out for Monday night's game; Hodge will start

Rookie linebacker Abdul Hodge will make his first NFL start for the Green Bay Packers on Monday night at Seattle because Nick Barnett is out a broken right hand.

Barnett was injured last week against New England and was hoping to play with a protective club on his hand. But after taking part in passing drills only during Friday’s practice, he was unable to practice Saturday.

So, Hodge, who made a splash early in training camp with his strong play against the run, will start in Barnett’s place at middle linebacker. Hodge had been playing on special teams but missed five games with a knee injury before returning last week against the New England Patriots.

This will be the second game Barnett has missed in his four-year career.

I feel bad for Barnett, but yet I am excited about seeing Hodge!

I want to see what Hodge can do but I'm worried that Hasselbeck is going to have a huge return game and torch us. Without Barnett we probably won't use that 3-3-5 Defense that has worked well.

I'm expecting Hodge to struggle and get pulled for Taylor.

I believe it was the last preseason game of the year, where Hodge was made to look foolish; like he was in way over his head.

11 weeks later, and after missing 5 of those weeks with injury, nothing much will have realisitically changed IMO.

I'll gladly eat my words, I hope I do, but that im my opinion on this matter.

a rookie look bad in preseason? ive never heard of such a thing.

and actually, realistically, healthy or not, you can improve. Ask rex grossman. Technically he finished a full season a couple games ago and this is like his 3rd year, but he learned, practiced,etc, like Hodge is doing. AADP...go read a lawyer book.

Hasselbeck isn't playing retards.

Read the news

John Clayton reported today on ESPN News that Hasselbeck has practiced all week and is expected to start Monday.

Quote from Insider's Injury Report

Matt Hasselbeck is set to return as the starting quarterback after missing four games with a knee injury. He has practiced all week and barring a setback, he will start Monday night.

So have you heard of a setback?

Well yesterday as I was watching some college football on ESPN2 it came across the ticker at the bottom of the screen.

It said, "Hasselbeck will not be playing against the Packers Monday Night."

Maybe it said "Will be playing" I forget.

It was funny at the time I was posting it.

I was reading this thread at my friend's house and I thought to myself, "Oh man I'll get these fools GOOD!"

No worries happens to everyone. Always better to just accept it then when people try to lie there way out of it. All the people with the best humour I know can laugh at themselves sometimes. I'll admit I got excited when I read it
