This documentary explores the reason why so few companies currently control the music played on the radio and for sale at retail stores, and whether corporations really have the power to silence musical innovation.
This may sound familiar, but the next big play A.J. Hawk makes in practice will be the first. While Desmond Bishop is constantly shooting gaps and trying to make plays, Hawk is still reading and reacting. He is seldom around the ball. He takes on blockers, but is easily turned around. It’s a repeat of last season when he was playing Mike after Barnett went down. On a DeShawn Wynn draw, Hawk could have exploded into the gap but took on Finley — and lost. However, the coaches are still high on Hawk.
I remember when the Packers drafted AJ Hawk, and I have to say, I was super excited. He was a dominating linebacker coming out of Ohio State, which is know for producing great linebackers. The first couple of years, I gave him the benefit of the doubt since he was new to the NFL, but now, there are no more excuses. He still seems to have the physical abilities, but he doesn’t seem to have the intensity required of an NFL linebacker.
AJ, I would like you to meet Desmond Bishop. He’s not quite as physically gifted, but the man has determination and a nose for the football. Desmond is on the verge of taking your job, and I expect him to be a starter by the end of training camp. If not the end of training camp, a few weeks into the season.
Desmond has been playing his butt off, and the coaches are going to have a hard time finding a reason to not keep the man on the field. AJ will be a really solid backup, and he’ll still contribute this season, but his career as starter in Green Bay, is just about to end.
