"You're seeing players that are now very comfortable in the base concepts of that defense," McCarthy said, "and the pressure packages have expanded more in how we're using different personnel as opposed to how many different types of pressures we're coming from. The most important thing is to put pressure on the quarterback. Whether it comes with four-man, five-man, six-man rushes or pressures, it's irrelevant. The bottom line is to get it done."

Anything that makes A.J. Hawk show any aggression is a good thing. He hasn't shown much more than Poppinga since he has been here and is nowhere close to living up to being a top 5 pick. This is a very important year for him. If he doesnt show pro bowl or near pro bowl ability he probably never will.

I can't wait to see AJ breakout.

I really hope he does for the team's sake. They need another playmaker in that defense to become elite. Right now they have Kamp and Barnett. Woodson maybe.

I think that you will see a very good year for AJ, especially if we play him to his strengths. Some times I feel I see him pull back into pass protect than anything.

I see a good year from him.
