[QUOTE="Bruce, post: 55453, member: 196"] I had plenty of faith in Bates and the ability to improve greatly over the cluster-fluck defense of Slowik. If anything I had too much faith. I thought they would be more consistent in third-down defense, scoring defense, and creating turnovers than they were. Having said that, I do acknowledge their significant improvement from the previous year in most areas. But to assert that Ted Thompson had much to do with that turn around is quite a stretch. I can only think of two changes on defense that Thompson even romotely had anything to do with. He went with Sherman's strong recommendation to draft Collins and he picked up Thomas at LB. He did draft some young guys that might contribute in the future, but who had insignificant contributions to the vast improvement from 2004 to 2005. BTW Sherman clearly hired Bates -- a simple look at the timeline, and every single source within 1265 (including Thompson) affirmed this as being the case. [/QUOTE]
