‘The Bills are especially concerned about the mismatch at strong safety, where rookie Donte Whitner (5-10, 204) meets star TE Antonio Gates (6-4, 260), a converted college basketball player who leads the Chargers with 50 catches for 604 yards and five TDs. Getting Whitner some help will start with making sure Gates is hit every time he releases from the line, even when he splits out wide. "They get mismatches and it’s hard to defend him," coach Dick Jauron said. "He has size advantages on defensive backs, athletic advantages on most linebackers. They move him all over. He’ll be split out. He’ll be outside the wide receiver. He’ll be inside. So it’s difficult."’
