I was at the game and said the same thing to my group. Why is Adkins not on the field?

The Hawks run a lot and my guess is they thought Thompkins was as good or better against the run than Geno. Or maybe they wanted him fresh not only this game, but as you mentioned for 16 games +.

I turned out well, maybe we were lucky.
