Acantha Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Who says we wouldn't make a splash in FA??? GO MARV!!!!
In space no one can hear Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 If this is true we will be able to move Peters back to right tackle. Finally 2 stud bookend tackles!!!!!!!! Thank you Marv!
Buffalo Mike1 Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Who says we wouldn't make a splash in FA??? GO MARV!!!! He did the same thing I did.... took a nap and woke up on fire!
sarmanuscg07 Posted March 2, 2007 Author Posted March 2, 2007 He did the same thing I did.... took a nap and woke up on fire! umm call me dumb but,. ive never heard of him and he only started 2 games last season... can anyone clarify for me whether this is an upgrade?
BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Must be a McNally guy, I've noticed he played a lot for the Giants...hmmm, well it never hurts to have veterans on the O-Line.
Dan III Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 article on Whittle from last year when he joined Minn.. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2353789
In space no one can hear Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 LINK I actually found a link to the signing.
EZC-Boston Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 From ESPN.com: Whittle understand the mantra that the more you can do the longer you will be around. Whittle has learned to continue his career as a professional football player and plays multiple positions as well as contribute in a variety of ways on special teams. Whittle is able to play all five positions on the offensive line and is an intelligent player that uses angles to his advantage against defenders. He works hard to use great technique using hand placement and leverage to wall off opponents, but he lacks the power to move defenders and expand the hole. This lack of lower-leg strength is also evident when Whittle faces two-gap defensive linemen that are able to stalemate him at the point of attack and shed him to make plays. Whittle does a nice job in space engulfing linebackers at the second level when pulling. When asked to start at guard this season for Minnesota the Vikings actually fared better up front with Whittle in the game. In pass protection, Whittle does a very good job working his hips and feet together with average punch but good hand placement re-directing the pass rusher. Along with decent size Whittle brings versatility, football smarts and deceptive athleticism for an offensive lineman that will allow this veteran to continue to make a roster, get on the field and contribute
BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Not bad, not bad...I'm always smiling when I see veteran OGs be brought into Buffalo. Methinks the old men arent done this morning...

2020 Our Year For Sure Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 article on Whittle from last year when he joined Minn.. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2353789 Sounds like some decent depth at guard. Nothing major, but perhaps something we needed. His versatility is a plus as they say he's able to play all three line positions.
Brandon Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Not bad, not bad...I'm always smiling when I see veteran OGs be brought into Buffalo. Methinks the old men arent done this morning... Looks to me like they just signed this year's version of Mike Gandy/Tutan Reyes/Bennie Anderson.
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Looks to me like they just signed this year's version of Mike Gandy/Tutan Reyes/Bennie Anderson. Highly doubtful he'll be starting
34-78-83 Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 He's a cheaper/ healthier/ more athletic version of the recently departed Chris V. I suppose.
Dan Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 I'm not gonna complain about any attempt to bring in offensive linemen. The more the better.
Ozymandius Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 He's better than Tutan Reyes and Bennie and has a history with McNally. He'd be great depth but don't rule him out as a starting guard.
