[QUOTE="HatestheEagles084, post: 38935, member: 180"] Mike Wahle and Marco Rivera wanted A LOT of money, both guys are now 30, I believe Rivera is 33...Adrian Klemm and Matt O'Dwyer were signed...they didn't pan out, but Thompson tried to plug the position with solid NFL'ers at a price, failed, alright move on...Will Whitticker was a great value pick in the 7th round, has started, has shown improvement, and I think he will be in the mix. Junius Coston was an interior offensive lineman who could get a shot at the Wells/Flanagan roles. Instead of Wahle and/or Rivera, we have salary cap room, which we can use to sign some other guys this offseason Wide recievers, how can you say we didnt address that position; in the second round this past season with a lot of defensive needs, Thompson selected Terrence Murphy, who proved to be a pretty good pickup until his injury...going into the season...Walker, Driver, Ferguson, Murphy...thats not bad, but then all hell breaks loose...what did Thompson do, kept signing people to try and fill the holes before striking gold with Rod Gardner, who I hope sticks around for next year. Other bits of goodness under the Thompson administration -In April I thought he blew a 2nd round draft pick on some safety from some school i never heard of...but Nick Collins has done nothing but impress, I believe he will be a top NFL safety in a year or two -Traded Chris Johnson for something useful...Robert Thomas, an alright starter, unfortunately hurt this season, as compared to Chris Johnson who just ran a fast 40 time many years ago and only managed to blow out knees during his career -Samkon Gado, period. -Hired Jim Bates and LISTENED TO HIM saying that he was good with the personell that he already had...guys like Colin Cole, Cullen Jenkins, etc. etc. stepped in to play a very solid role in a defense that surprised a lot of people -Thompson worked very well in April with the draft position we had...Rodgers at QB for when Favre decides to give it up...Murphy was a good pick, Collins was a great steal...Brady Poppinga contributed before unfortunate injury, Mike Montgomery is I think good enough to be a run-situation defensive end, Marviel Underwood contributed, Roy Manning--a rookie free agent, contributed, Micheal Hawkins was a late pick and contributed, Will Whitticker started a few games...not a bad job [/QUOTE]
