[QUOTE="Oannes, post: 149202, member: 816"] Nick Barnett's tackle numbers were the LOWEST of his NFL career with Hawk at Weakside LB. That's right...LOWEST. Nick Barnett should improve his numbers if a MLB is the focus of the defense with a great Weakside backer. Please, explain to me how MLB is the focus of our scheme and make it fit with the fact Barnett had 105 tackles last year...7 tackles lower than his rookie year. This D is set up for Hawk to make plays. We picked him 5th game him a ton of coin and expect him to tear it up. He did a nice job but not spectacular. If we added a stud like Randy Moss to the WR corps would you expect Favre's numbers to drop, or improve? With Randy they should've improved. The same applies to Barnett's numbers... With Hawk next to him his numbers should've improved...they dropped. Is it because Hawk is better, or because Hawk is in a taylored position to make the bulk of the plays. I think the answer is obvious but I'm sure I'll here strong rebuttals as to why AJ Hawk is the best thing going. Take off the green and gold glasses for one minute when comparing Hawk's rookie year to Urlacher's. Urlacher became an endorsement poster child because of his awesome impact as a rookie. Are people lining up to use Hawk in advertisements? No. Why? He was a solid, but not flashy, player like Urlacher was. Deal with reality of how each performed in their rookie seasons. If you really need to believe Hawk had the impact of Urlacher you're certainly entitled to it. Everyone who watches football outside of Packer fans will tell you the Brian Urlacher took the scene by storm. AJ Hawk did no such thing. It isn't even a debate but people will continue arguing. I'm waiting for the next argument about how Greg Jennings had a more impactful rookie season than Anquan Boldin. [/QUOTE]
