Someone is reaching.....
Without a doubt. Sure, Thompson didn't embarrass himself. But that is it. The key was the DL doing their job. It made the fact he was in the game irrelevant because they could rush four and drop seven.

Everyone is talking Dak and Zeke or Bennett from last game but the player I said was the key to the victory and defense was Thompson. Once Heath went out the defense took off. I don't see why Dallas continues to play him and he's probably the worst of the safeties. Go back if you can and re-watch the game. Once Heath goes down the defense really got a lot better. Thompson should be the starter with Woods. Just don't understand Dallas playing should be backups versus guys who should be starting. Lewis also should start.
Our defense looked the best it has all season for the entire game and I think that was because of Sean Lee starting while LVE has been out. Sean was not missing his gap assignments like LVE has since the Rams playoffs game. We will need that type of consistent play against Dalvin Cook Sunday. Im hoping Sean gets the start.

Thompson was a complete non-factor. The only impact play he made was a play by DLaw.

He's fine. Heath is fine. it makes no difference which one is out there.

I'll go with what the coaches say everytime over an ignorant fan every time. No offense.

I'm just trying to determine what "may of missed" means. :huh:

I've always been a fan of The GOAT, but Thompson has the lowest QBR when thrown on in the secondary, and Heath has the highest.

Thompson should at least be getting more snaps to see if the trend continues. Ride the hot hand until it ain't not no more.

Heath's play probably improves if they lighten his load. He plays full time defense and half special teams snaps.

:facepalm: Another bash Heath thread. Just what we needed. Not. o_O

More justified than usual. We got to see how we played without him. We played well. Thompson had no problems that I'm aware of.

Anyone got PFF scores for Thompson? Did he get any for that game?
