I'm not surprised. I love the Bills and I have high hopes, but not in Whitner. He's more worried about playing the PR part of the game than the XO part.
I say trade him while he's worth something. He'll be in the UFL in 2 years.

Re: Donte might be riding the pine
If Byrd stats at FS, Whitner (not Scott) starts at SS.Originally posted by mysticsoto -

Players don't have value right now...any value would have been before the draft.

Re: Donte might be riding the pine
Honestly, I wouldn't be shocked. He is more like a SS, FS, CB hybrid. Not really that good at any, but not that bad either. Byrd may be better at FS, and Scott may be stronger at strong.
It would be a little surprising though. I think if the Bills had a top 20 front 7, Whitner could make some more impact plays. I guess it just depends on what the Bills want to do.
It also might be game by game. If it is a game where the opposition has a big stud TE, we might use Scott. If it is a play were we are going to blitz the safety, it might be Scott too. However, if it's the Pats, we start Whitner because his range is greater.
Either way though, all this is moot til we see what Byrd can do.Last edited by yordad; 07-11-2009, 01:30 PM."Heck, now I am glad his overrated arce made the pro bowl, else we would have only got a 3rd." ~ yordad

Re: Donte might be riding the pine
Florio must have been drinking a little too much when he wrote that. There's no way in hell that Whitner is sitting on the bench. Sure they love Byrd, that's why they drafted him...for FS. But that means Whitner will go back to SS.Originally posted by justasportsfanhaha. Thats Florio for you.

Re: Donte might be riding the pine
That is ridiculous, Donte already said in an interview with nfl.com that he would be switching back to strong safety IF Byrd was ready. Considering Byrd has missed every off season practice prior to camp it may be possible Bryd wont even be ready. Even if he was, it would be Donte and Byrd with Donte moving around in packages and Scott coming in with certain schemes and looks to cover the faster tight ends. This is all hear say and rumor tossing because there is no real news out there.I am The Batman.Comment

Re: Donte might be riding the pine
Whitner can say whatever he wants. If Byrd shows some flashes in camp, Whitner is going to find himself back at SS and when he sucks at that, he'll then be on the bench. I do not want in any way, shape, or form, Whitner playing FS for the Bills.
Worst draft pick in recent memory. Wanna know the truth? If the guy wasn't taken 8th overall, he probably wouldn't even be on our roster right now, much less starting. If we took him in say the 3rd or 4th round, no one and I mean no one would be keeping him in the line-up with the way he plays. See Ko Simpson.Last edited by jamze132; 07-12-2009, 02:13 AM.

Re: Donte might be riding the pine
He's absolutely Right. Scott has made more plays over the past year than Whitner has. Does that say a lot? NO! That's why they drafted Byrd. It was made the put pressure on him, lets see if he responds...I know some of you have Donte added on facebook...look how obsessed he is with that over his game.Originally posted by jamze132Comment

I don't think the Bills drafted Byrd to "motivate" Donte. I think they drafted Byrd to replace Donte.Originally posted by bills&sabresmvfComment

Re: Donte might be riding the pine
Whitner is a better football player than Scott, period.Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
