[QUOTE="HatestheEagles084, post: 24532, member: 180"] it takes a little more than that...lets look a little more at our personell if you take into account some of the guys that have only recently been brought into the system... aaron rodgers, mike hawkins, nick collins, terrence murphy, will whitticker, and scratches like underwood, poppinga, coston, etc...all guys that thompson brought into the system by drafting for value, and also trading draft picks for value, we ended up drafting 14 players in april, certainly not ALL of them will pan out, but the more you draft the better your chance. The pattern of thompson drafting for value should certainly continue, if we get a higher pick--even more value for TT to work with we picked up a legit starting linebacker, Robert Thomas, who I believe is only in his fourth year for Chris Johnson our defense is to the point that it is at least not a liability. Our defensive line is overachieving, and Ahmad Caroll has shown resolve...he accepted a diminished role and responded positively, picking off a pass and adding a few tackles here and there OFFENSE i'll start up front, we've got two great tackles on either end, a leader at center, and two guards who are new to the system--i'm confident this unit will straighten out sooner than later wide outs...ferguson ehh, javon walker i have a feeling he'll stick to his word and be back at 100% next year, donald driver is still making plays despite turning 30, terrence murphy i'd like to see how he'd do, antonio chatman is making contributions--but he should be removed from PR running backs...this is ahman's last stand in green bay, if we go to a new QB next season, the last thing he needs is an underachieving, over the hill, slouching back--prove me wrong ahman but i have my doubts...davenport hasn't even looked like himself...tony fisher is too vanilla for me, good at a lot of things, not great at anything--i said this in april we should've taken darren sproles, made a few nice plays in san diego last night--at fullback, there's a big hole behind william henderson, keep in mind--would this veteran want to stick around for the rebuilding packers? QB...aaron rodgers? my point is, i think we're heading the right way under ted thompson...i like the way he managed (not necessarily the selections) on draft day...bringing in quality young talent and perhaps a new coach to bring new guidance to the talent we have...no i dont want to hear comparrisons to the 1970-1990 dark age...we'll be fine edit: it's too early to even project april's draft...but i know who we gotta be taking in 2009...WR-DERRICK WILLIAMS, THE SAVIOR OF THE PENN STATE NITTANY LIONS...sorry it's one of the few things i have to be happy about this year, but yeah williams is awesome, psu's 4-0, its good to end a post on a happy note for once [/QUOTE]
