Thompson has to find someone to compete for that position or teams like Detroit/Atlanta/New Orleans will simply pick apart the secondary in the playoffs.

Oh...and stat of the day...
a few years back you would see dominating defenses, you dont really see that much now. the offenses are so good these days and with the rules favoring the offense, all teams are gonna give up big yards, you just need to force the turnovers. much like Detroit today, they gave up a ton of yards but won the turnover battle
