[QUOTE="Bruce, post: 119174, member: 196"] You are correct that he is a rookie and needs time to develop. However, this is the NFL where you need to earn and take advantage of your opportunities. Barnett has started every game at MLB since being drafted and never has put in anything close to as pathetic of a performance as the one our young rookie put up. The Packer's defense gave up the 5th most yards on the ground in Packer history with Hodge in the middle, after holding every single back to under 100 yds per game (and an 8th in the NFL ranking) in all of the games that had Barnett in the middle. Unless Hodge improves significantly he will not get [i]"a good dozen or so games"[/i] for you to reserve your judgements until. Having said that there are several things that Hodge can do to improve. Study film, watch Barnettand learn, burn the mid-night oil in the film room, stay in town and take advantage of the offseason workout program where he can work on increasing his agility and lower body strength and take advantage of all OTA's, in the meantime he can become a mad man on special teams. If Hodge lets up in any way there will be hungry young athletes pursuing their NFL dreams happy to steal his opportunities and roster spot. Hodge does not have the talent or upside to have teams wait too long for him to develop. He must seize every opportunity that comes his way hence forth or join the ranks of most young men who never quite made it to where they worked their lives to get to -- playing time in the NFL.
