they were showcasing him...no other reason to start a RB who is 3rd on the depth chart. Funny how Hawk was starting too.

Hawk started because he is the starter on defense. (http://www.packers.com/team/depth-chart.html). He just doesn't play in the nickel and dime packages.

Looked liked it was to showcase him..Good thing Brandon Jackson? didn't rush for 150 yards otherwise the Packers FO might have been lulled into thinking there is no need for Lynch

so, GB went nickel and dime packages all day against Philly in week 1? Hawk didn't play at all in that game (according to the CBS announcers yesterday).

I'm pretty sure, I know my own team (http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcnorth/post/_/id/16396/bbao-a-j-hawk-shouldnt-be-happy)



Green Bay Packers linebacker A.J. Hawk didn't play a single defensive snap in last Sunday's 27-20 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, and you wouldn't expect that to go over well. Hawk, sidelined because the Packers played the entire game in their nickel and dime packages, told Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that "I'm sick of it, but who wouldn't be?"

Hawk is technically a starter in the Packers' 3-4 base scheme, but coordinator Dom Capers didn't use that package at all in Philadelphia. It's unclear how Capers will deploy personnel moving forward, but Hawk added: "What I'm playing in now, the package I'm in, is not my football destiny. It's not to be a part-time guy. As of today, that's how it goes. I'll stick with it and do my thing."
