Whitner Will Be Prepared

[The_Philster]

Despite the fact that Bills top pick Donte Whitner was not allowed to attend any of the team's organized team activities this spring due to Ohio State's late final exam schedule, don't think for a second that Buffalo's rookie strong safety isn't up to speed on Perry Fewell's defensive scheme.
Whitner, who stated that he had 85-90 percent of the defense down by the end of the first minicamp the weekend after the draft, quickly picked up all the new material he encountered on his way back to One Bills Drive last weekend for the team's final minicamp. more

Re: Whitner Will Be Prepared

I agree he will be a hell of a player. My issue has never been Whitner, its been where he was picked and the lack of adding a top talent at DT. Instead a rotational/ Backup DT after trading back into the 1st round

I think that if Ngata or Bunkley were picked, they would be also be "rotational."

I don't believe that either of them are a better fit for the defense or have more of an upside than McCargo.

Anyone ever wonder why it's news when a player says that he'll show up prepared.

I always take this stuff with a grain of salt.

What's he gonna do? Go on the Channel 4 5:00 news and say "Nah, I'm a dumbass, I'm never gonna learn this D before the season starts. Tom Brady's gonna have a field day with the long ball".

No but he could be willingly staying at OSU and doing NFLN while knocking up women.
