I would agree that he has put more of an emphasis on the defense than the offense, but he's spent plenty of high draft picks on offensive players. The defense does look to be ahead of the offense right now, but that doesn't mean the effort hasn't been there toward improving the offense. Thompson hired an offensive-minded head coach, drafted the QB of the future in the first round, a second round RB, three second round WR's, and a bunch of O-linemen in rounds 2-5. Plus plenty of later round draft picks were spent on offensive players. Besides, I think it is natural to build a team by beginning with an emphasis on the defense and the O-line. Thompson's plan generally makes sense to me. And let's not write off the 2007 offense just yet, either. I thought it looked good in the preseason, in spite of the problems running the ball. It's surprising to me how many fans are fixating on the negatives right now when there are so many positives with this team. I'm happy to be a fan of what looks to be an up-and-coming team.</blockquote>
