[QUOTE="Bruce, post: 96616, member: 196"] Some writers like Christl and a good many posters lavished great praise upon Ted Thompson for cutting ties with players like Tony Fischer, Antonio Chatman, Mark Roman... declaring that they did not belong in the NFL. A quick glance at "where are they now" begs to differ with such hasty analysis. Antonio Chatman is the top backup to Chad Johnson and the starting punt return for the Cincinnati Bengals -- a team that throttled the Packers a couple of weeks ago in an exhibition game. Tony Fischer is the #2 HB, their 3rd down RB and playing on all of the special teams for the St Louis Cardinals. And Mark Roman looks to have lost the battle for the starting FS spot with the San Francisco 49ers, but is the top backup at both safeties and playing in their nickel and dime packages. Perhaps writers and fans who are at times quick to call players who will never be all pros, but are solid team players and contributors trash and bums should take pause and consider a little more carefully their hasty dimestore analysis of guys that somehow keep making a living playing in the NFL. Given the Packers situation -- especially lack of depth at these three positions perhaps Ted Thompson would too. [/QUOTE]
