Followed by getting cut by another team for non-salary cap reasons one year later after doing pretty much nothing despite that team having one suspended linebacker and another signed away in FA.

It's cool if you're a Buckeye fan or whatnot.

I am a buckeye fan, and i couldn't care less about how Hawk is perceived because he is a former buckeye. I do love how you keep throwing out pointless arguments like that and the packers TEAM rushing stats though, it's quite amusing.

I'm not saying Hawk was great, he played limited snaps because he's decent against the run and bad against the pass. He was played to his strengths in his limited capacity and was a veteran presence for the team. He played just fine for us, just because he wasn't a pro bowler doesn't mean he played poorly. I think he brought exactly what the FO wanted him to bring, then we lucked into Dansby being cut this off season and upgraded. No need to act like Hawk was bad, because he was exactly what we wanted. He was never needed or expected to take over a huge role on this team, he was simply a role player and insurance policy.
