Sounds like Abdul Hodge may be over the knee trouble and is rarin to get back to business. Hope it works out as I was pulling for this kid since the Pack drafted him.

LINKY

I hope so. It would be really nice to see this guy come back an be a force.

Me too. If nothing else, The Pack will have some really good competition at LB.

Depth and tallant. What an amazing concept for a team.

good, i thought he looked impressive his first pre-season

The butcher? Man, I thought we were going to have another thread about a Jerry Jones signing...

I was thinking Mike Sherman...

I would really like to Hodge make a comeback. He was a stud in college, and I think he could be in the pros also if he could stay healthy. Remember, in his one start as a rookie, he did make some glaring mistakes, but he also made some big plays, and scored a touchdown on an interception return.

Good luck Abdul!
If memory serves, Green Bay was known as having great LB'ers during the mid-to-late- 80's, leading into the early 90's. I wouldn't mind having that reputation again. Especially if Hodge brings a big stick like Bigby!

I, too, was thrilled when we drafted him. Except how is he going to get on the Field? Barnett won't be moved out of the middle.

I had admittedly written the guy off but what a bonus it'd be if we saw someone closer to that exceptional college player in TC. He'll have to make a mark on ST to make it IMO.

Tracy White is a great ST player they just re-signed so they must like something there...and the top-4 are set. Sometimes they only keep 5 so that could be quite the battle among Bishop, Hodge, White, etc.

I am amazed at the quality of depth this team is collecting., If Aaron is the deal, this team is going to be really tough. Big "if", I know, but this is shaping up nicely. 25 touchdowns and 15 interceptions....that's all I ask!

I actually think Bishop can become a helluva player. I was at the pre-season game when he hit that Jag.....the biggest hit I ever saw live. Surprised the man's head didn't go flying along with the helmet.

He and Hodge are similar: hit like a truck and cover like one too. Unfortunately (?) the need for speed is big in the NFL these days, which limits those two in defensive packages a lot. Special Teams is how they'll make the team.

Unless Barnett moves outside, Hodge's only hope is to play well enough to become trade bait.
