ganesh Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Riiiiiiiiiight.......went from 360 to 315. We want our NT svelte You mean, another undersized Tackle. I though Jauron was out of the building..
nucci Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 He runs his mouth. Should twitter a little less. Hasn't nearly lived up to his draft position Very little of what he has said has come to fruition. But God help me. I am a Donte fan. He is a versatile (flame on that one.) player and soldier who has done whatever has been asked of him (even taking a benching last year.) I think he is a good leader in the locker room and would rather have him on my team than not. Hopefully he shows a little more under the new regime and some of his statements actually happen. KEEP FLAPPIN THOSE GUMS DONTE! He's a soldier? What does that mean? Is he also a warrior...blue collar...?
ChasBB Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Oh my god!!! What an @ hole for supporting and pumping up his teammate!!! The nerve of him. Some of you need to get a life if you honestly take offense with this. Agree -- some people are giving Whitner a hard time over some pretty innocuous remarks. However, I think a lot of this stems back to Whitner's "guarantee" of a playoff appearance a couple of season's ago. Whitner's problem is he lacks credibility -- which is why he needs to stop talking and start performing. It would be a lot easier to listen to Whitner run his mouth if he actually delivered on his promises and actually did help lead this team to the playoffs.
Steely Dan Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Donte attempts to prove his point by saying, "He'll have better stats" Since when did nose tackles have stats? And Donte, this just shows what is important to you, stats and not wins. You are a bust! Just so you know the NFL keeps track of tackles, sacks, tackles behind the line of scrimmage, QB pressures, tipped passes and interceptions. (I may be forgetting some.) Oh my god!!!

I don't see anything wrong with going into a season with lofty goals. It's not his fault Jauron couldn't make it work.

Bob in STL Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Nominated for most uninformed post of the year... +100
marsadale Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Troup is an overweight slug. the Ohio State Buckeyes football team is the most overrated program in the NCAA. have a nice day
Lurker Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Troup is an overweight slug. Man, how'd you get 1,600+ posts before I ignored you. That's pretty impressive...
BillsGuyInMalta Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 You mean, another undersized Tackle. I though Jauron was out of the building.. Wow, no matter how much he weighs we Bills fans will find a way to destroy him. Either he's a fat slag or an undersized Jauron lover. NO MIDDLE GROUND, DAMMIT!
aristocrat Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 and people say nobody wants to play in buffalo...donte does
CardinalScotts Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 How about this---Whitner is a good player for the first time being used correctly by good coaches lets see what happens
Deep2Moulds46 Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Maybe this is Donte Whitner's way of saying " I like Kyle Williams, but he is NOT a 3-4 nose tackle. Please get him the hell out of there"
The Tomcat Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 How do you measure stats of a tru 3-4 nt. His stats come from those players around him that he makes better by being a mountain in the middle. Its probably the least "sexy" position to grade by stats. Its good to hear he's so far so good. Troup is a different type of player in my opinion.
HelloNewman Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 He sure does like to say amazing crap. The only reason that I posted this, however, is that I think Troup will be a decent player immediately, and is going to start opening day. Donte also said that Parrish has been amazing in practice. I also think Gailey will find a way to get Parrish the ball and he can be extremely effective without putting up huge numbers. Oh, no! I'm turning into Donte Whitless! Donte does tend to say a lot of stuff that doesn't turn out to be true. It's good to hear that about Troup though. Just because he says something stupid about being better than Suh, doesn't mean Troup hasn't been looking very good. There are other similar reports. http://twitter.com/DonteWhitner I believe his next quote will be "Trent Edwards is better than Manning"

It would be a lot easier to listen to Whitner run his mouth if he actually delivered on his promises and actually did help lead this team to the playoffs. You make a decent point but here's my counter: if a 1st round NFL draft pick has no credibility, why read any posts on any Bills board? What credibility does any fan have? The fact is people are going to consistently hate on DW for stuff that is out of his control. Around the NFL, DW is looked at as a pretty good safety. And the think that just seems silly to me is nowhere is Whitner pumpimg himself up. He pumped up the team and teammates. People really have a problem with this??? I'd rather have confident players who support their teammates. Seriously, people jsut get mad at Whitner for the sake of getting mad at him. He is probably the anti-McGahee (who fans ran out of town) and loves playing here. Yet, people feel the need to trash him. It's not a wonder that some players hate fans.
AxelRipper Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 That gets posted here and ripped apart, but this doesnt: "There is not substitute for winning"
Red Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 He is gonna get flamed for this one, but man, whatever. Donte says dumb stuff sometimes, but I was robbed by the 14 year old runaway I took in, so it could be worse. Oh no! A football player who is a little verbose! At least he didnt have sex with his sister, like Tony Washington. How's he gonna get "flamed"? Though I agree he should just knock it off and/or Gailey should take his blackberry or whatever away from him...Suh got drafted by the Lions. How often do we play the Lions?
Hossage Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Is your moral threshold level set that low or was that a joke? If you were to apply that rationale then most people would end up being outstanding denizens of society. " Sure he molested a lotta girls....at least he didnt sleep with his sister!" or " Sure he murdered dogs ...but heyy at least he didnt have sex with his sister!" or " Yeah hey totally bannged that 15 year old prostitute....but at least she wasnt his sister!" ** Whatever, I'm not judging you at all, I just find it wth hilarious that you would compare some loudmouth hyping up his team mates in the offseason to some dude who committed incest as a kid and will forever suffer for it. I think I was more implying that Donte trying to shine up Troupes helmet isnt very bad. You may have a point, however, because I have banged a 15 year old prostitute, and I didnt think it was that wrong, so it is possible that my moral threshold is lower than some. However, we might be able to agree that I was using overstatement to frame his offense as something non-venal. Red: I meant he would get flamed by the posters on this site, as in made fun of. I think we might see the Lions in the Super Bowl next winter.
John Cocktosten Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 How about this---Whitner is a good player for the first time being used correctly by good coaches lets see what happens Scheme huh? Byrd and Wilson both put together solid years playing in Jauron's D.
