An unbiased look at Thompson's job.

You'll be happy to know I got out of my first draft and selected Donald Driver and the Packer defense. So if my team goes to crap because of the defense and Favre running for his like I'm coming over and dumping your kool aide down the drain

On a sidenote I also drafted Ahman Green.

How high did you select the Packers defense? I would think you could pick them up pretty late in most leagues and have a value pick.

I believe it was the 9th round so about pick 110
RG picked the Jags right before; they were about the 9th selected

And, I'll have you know I selected mason crosby in round 14.

I FORSEE MANY FG ATTEMPTS

My Prince Albert itches. Is that normal?

Yes, since I value kickers so so highly I waited til round 15; I was OK with the Saints kicker. I'd probably have grabbed Crosby too

Thompson is good but he is also bad at the same time.

I knew there was something I didn't like about him, but I just couldn't put my finger on it. Thanks.

I think they'll do good for you. They should be a high pressure defense that causes turnovers and scores points. Jax is great too though. They are the best defense in the NFL in my opinion. If their offense wasn't so mediocre, they would look even better.

So, I did something right in your eyes?

Fuck, the ground is starting to shake...

To me Baltimore is the best defense, followed by Da Bears. NE and SD a step below. Then a bunch of good defenses about the same in the next tier of six or so. I'd put GB in that group

I love how young and physical JAX is and how tough they are up the middle. The Bears might do a little better in fantasy scoring but on strength of the unit, I think Jax wins. Sometimes it gets skewed, a bad offense hurts a good defense and vice versa. The Bears have great ST's and an OK offense. That makes their really good defense look better.

San Diego and Jax are the youngest, most physical defensive units in football. The Bears just don't scare me. Who do they have that (other than Urlacher) that really scares you? I guess Tommy Harris but he seems overrated because he plays in a big market. All the Bears are a little overrated right now I think.

[RashanGary]

I watch every team probably twice per year. Jacksonville impressed the hell out of me last year. They were roudy as hell in that preseason game too. I've watched it a couple times and those guys were spiking our guys to the ground with some brutality. The Chargers did that to us last year. We've been doing that this year as well. Most defenses aren't that physical. Remember Sharpers courtesy pushes?

So...a TT thread just turned into a football thread? This is unprecedented!!! Yet a pleasant surprise. Baltimore does have a very good defense, but are they starting to age a bit?

They have a good mix; many solid veterans still playing at Pro Bowl Levels
