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.

Surprisingly the Seahawks were using our dominant D-line to their advantage by cutting back across the LOS for big gains.  Who knows, maybe they felt Brandon Thompson was holding up things at the line a little better.  It's a stretch but our d-line was getting fleeced in the run game due to penetration.
