Utah John Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Just wondering if Whitner ever did a wrap-up tackle in SF. I never saw him do one as a Bill. It was always an attempt to make like a missile and knock the guy off his feet, never to wrap up and bring the guy down like everyone's taught in midgets. So a player who can absorb the shot and stay on his feet will be able to recover and get big yards after contact. Does hiring Whitner make sense for the Browns? Ask yourself, would it make sense for the Bills? Get an aging pretty good player and use a lot of cash, preventing development of younger players who need playing time to mature.

RealityCheck Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Why is there a FA Donte Whitner thread on here? Is this where bitterness meets hubris?
Fixxxer Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Nice deal for Whitner, he gets close to home and gets paid.
KD in CA Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Rumor is a 4yr $28M deal. /giggle Donte cashing in on the Day 1 madness. Why is there a FA Donte Whitner thread on here? Is this where bitterness meets hubris? We like to keep tabs on our top 10 picks around here!
YoloinOhio Posted March 11, 2014 Author Posted March 11, 2014 Why is there a FA Donte Whitner thread on here? Is this where bitterness meets hubris? No, it was because we are monitoring potential landing spots for Byrd where other safeties are being signed. Also why there was a Delmas thread.
RealityCheck Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 No, it was because we are monitoring potential landing spots for Byrd where other safeties are being signed. Also why there was a Delmas thread. I thought that there was a Byrd FA thread already.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Rumor is a 4yr $28M deal. /giggle Is this 28 million dollars or 28 million doll hairs? It's going to be funny seeing lil donte being asked to actually make plays. He can't just run around and jump on piles and think he's good like he did in San Fran.
Malazan Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 I thought that there was a Byrd FA thread already. Did you post this in the delmas thread? You might want to zip up, your bias is showing.
3rdand12 Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Good for Whitner . He has had success since he left us . So maybe the drafting of wasnt so bad after all ? He is still desirable it seems and getting paid like it. Wished we went after Delmas though .

The great thing about a message board is that if you see a thread that you are not interested in because you feel it is not relevant or otherwise, you may choose not to post in it, or even open it.
RealityCheck Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Did you post this in the delmas thread? You might want to zip up, your bias is showing. What are you talking about?

Malazan Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 What are you talking about? You only seem concerned about certain threads. Specifically, this one. There's always threads about former bills players and free agents...especially at the opening of free agency.
RealityCheck Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 You only seem concerned about certain threads. Specifically, this one. There's always threads about former bills players and free agents...especially at the opening of free agency. Most Whitner threads are filled with bitterness. I was making a joke about that fact. You seem concerned that I might be "concerned" and that is kind of funny. KD in CT seemed to get my vibe. Cheer up dude. There is a 100+ page thread of schizophrenia about Byrd that needs your immediate attention if bias detection is your thing.

dave mcbride Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Is this 28 million dollars or 28 million doll hairs? It's going to be funny seeing lil donte being asked to actually make plays. He can't just run around and jump on piles and think he's good like he did in San Fran. He had an excellent season last year - the best of his career. He was definitely above average at his position.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 He had an excellent season last year - the best of his career. He was definitely above average at his position. Lets see how he pans out being on defense without 5 other all-pros. I think he's going to struggle mightily, but I guess we will see.
NoSaint Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 So they let ward and dqwell go and replaced them with whitner and dansby, each for more money? It seems.... Not as productive as some of the talking heads today are making it sound. Greenberg was calling it one of the best first days on mike and mike this morning, and acting like they were adding players to an elite defense instead of replacing losses.
