[QUOTE="Bertram, post: 149197, member: 817"] I think Thompson's draft was really nice. The Packers organisation now consist of many people that were around when we were a really good team and won the Superbowl, and I see them trying to do many of the things we did back then. We had a great defense where the backbone of it was our defensive line. Thompson is building a very good defensive line with very good linebackers behind them and one of the top CB duos in the league. If our safeties could step up this could be one of the best defensive units in the league. I see some people here judge the performance of DTs on their sack count and that Corey Williams had only an average season because he "only" had 7 sacks. Well, Gilbert Brown had 7 sacks in his entire career. I've also heard some grumbling about us running a max protection scheme with only two wideouts and two blocking TEs. In the 90's we were doing that a lot too and it was very succesfull. Next season I think we will see a Packers team with a decent offense, able to move the chains and score more points than in the past two seasons with a great defense being the backbone of the team. However we lack some of that pivotal quality depth. Who's going to play DE if one of our starters go down, who's going to play LB if one of our starters go down, who's going to play CB if one of our starters go down. This is where I believe we should have struck some deals in the free agency. [/QUOTE]
