Swiss Cheezhead Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Barnett, Hawk, Hodge, Ben Taylor, Poppinga, Robert Thomas... I suppose Taylor, Poppinga, and Thomas are good backups, but who's the SLB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budlitebrad Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 I'm just glad we have depth in the defense for once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chavez Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Barnett, Hawk, Hodge, Ben Taylor, Poppinga, Robert Thomas... I suppose Taylor, Poppinga, and Thomas are good backups, but who's the SLB? 1444283[/snapback] My best guess is Barnett moves to SLB so that Hawk can adjust to the pro game without having to focus on coverage responsibilities.

Chavez Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 IIRC, they were playing Poppinga at SLB before his injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the other thread... Can't see Hawk playing SLB at 6'1". If those three are the starters, it'll be Barnett at SLB, Hawk at MLB, and Hodge at WLB. Either way, we have good depth and talent. 1444309[/snapback] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Los Gigantes Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 i think hodge at mlb and hawk at wlb makes more sense. jmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 everything i've read was Barnett is going to SLB... I love Hodge, Hawk, Burnett... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 ...and the beauty is that Taylor and a healthy Poppinga give GB some VERY nice LB depth. Actually, depending on how Poppinga's recovery is going, we could see him at SLB and Barnett staying in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm am absolutley ecstatic about having the linebacker position as one of our strengths... Imagine that... Green Bay Packers, and linebackers... I'm really happy with the way things have turned out thus far, and a lot of picks coming up tomorrow... Good job TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 My best guess is Barnett moves to SLB so that Hawk can adjust to the pro game without having to focus on coverage responsibilities. 1444319[/snapback] looks like this is a distinct possability but HODGE could very well man SLB i will find it later but i read something that said he can play all 3 LBs spots but he would be able to shed the blocks etc at SLB better then Hawk and Barnett has the sideline to sideline speed to play WLB but with Hodge being a natural MLB I wouldnt be surprised to see SLB Barnett MLB Hodge WLB Hawk but until word comes out of packer land their is a hugh risk drafting Hawk in IDP leagues if for some crazy reason he ends up at SLB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 .. Imagine that... Green Bay Packers, and linebackers... 1444455[/snapback] Think of it as a long-overdue return to a historically strong position for the Pack - Clarke Hinkle, Bill Forrester, Dan Currie, Ray Nitschke, Lee Roy Caffey, Dave Robinson, Ted Hendricks (briefly), Fred Carr, Rich Wingo, Tim Harris, Tony Bennett, Bryce Paup...all fine players for the Pack at the position.

Sgt. Ryan Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Hawk is not a middle linebacker, and wont be in the NFL. He is more likely to go to strong side, with Hodge if he starts to go to weak side. Makes no sense to move Barnett outside, as he has never played outside LB.

Wizards Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Will say this though....Packers had 7th overall "D" last year...lost 5 games by 3 or less in 2005...additions to "D"....add Favre back...Green back....Driver, Ferguson, Franks, Murphy(?).......Gado and Davenport still in fold....we look to challenge for the North title IMO and you know in playoffs...anything is possible....
