I won't defend TT on the O-line because he SUCKS AT DRAFTING O-LINEMAN!!! Get this in your memories people!!!
Shouting won't make it come true. He sucked at drafting OLineman HERE. And even that's not a fact. As said before, we don't know how those guys, with clear ZBS traits, would fare if they had been coached properly.
The fact that he failed in addressing the OL doesn't mean he doesn't know how to draft Olineman, as evidenced by his time in Seattle. Separated issues, that lead to the same result, yes, but with different ways to fix.

And hey, you forgot this paragraph from wikipedia:
During Thompson's five seasons in Seattle, the Seahawks advanced to the playoffs twice. Several players Thompson helped acquire through the draft played key roles on these teams. Some of the notable players Thompson selected in his tenure with the Seahawks were running back [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaun_Alexander"]Shaun Alexander[/ame], kicker
Josh Brown, guard
Steve Hutchinson, and wide receiver [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darrell_Jackson"]Darrell Jackson[/ame], cornerbacks [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Trufant"]Marcus Trufant[/ame] and [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Lucas"]Ken Lucas[/ame], safeties [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Hamlin"]Ken Hamlin[/ame] and [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Boulware"]Michael Boulware[/ame].
When you do this kind of things, you kinda lose credibility, you know.
