The Answer is a bit concerned - and after studying a lot of flim on Whitner it appears he has the same tendencies as another hard hitting, former top 10 draft pick.
No question this kid knows how to hit hard and lay receivers out - he's also a solid blitzer and great against the run. BUT - upon further review it seems he's not progressing in pass coverage and tends to give up a lot of big plays and be out of position way too often.
He's still only in his second year but is anybody else concerned about his poor coverage skills? And no The Answer is not bringing this up because of the pats game - it was noticeable long before then.
