Duke Nukem Posted August 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 From Reedy .... joereedy Joe Reedy @adamhood1980 They're talking, could be close. Three other teams could be in the running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sois Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 I just talked to my Bills die hard buddy, he says Whitner was ok, but slow. Good tackler. Hmmm. He can't be slower than Roy Williams so I guess he is an upgrade still. Just plug him in at SS and Nelson in at FS and don't worry about that position for a few seasons. They can do it.

alleycat Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Give Zimmer and Coyle raw athleticism and they do amazing things with it. Whitner was drafted in the top ten because he ran a smoking sub 4.4 forty. He's got the speed. Our coaches will give him the technique. I've been lusting after him. It's going to make the J. Joe loss hurt even more, because our back 5 would have been sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, its time to start praying The Comish is over his hate affair with Adam Jones. Whitner is a good pickup and we need someone in a hurry.

alleycat Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 In fact, IIRC, there was a lot of talk about Whitner being a swing man between CB and S. Interesting.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimmer is a field general of a DC. Why are we expending so much effort to keep our team "id" (who we are) as a offensive team when we are in the unique opportunity of having the right coaches available to make a top 5 defense? All we need is to give Zimmer the right players and we really start winning games, ...for real! I say bring in Favre, plug in Smith at left guard, and let all eyes turn to the offense while we quietly bring in weapons for the D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky151 Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Whitner would be an excellent signing. He was 4th on my safety wish list behind Landry, Weddle, and Mikell. He has a lot of experience and is still young and healthy. He's a pretty good athlete and willing to tackle. It looks like we could be starting an all first round secondary with 3 of them castoffs. Zimmer can make them into cast iron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snarkster Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Would still look good with Joseph's name still there, but it is looking more promising if the land Whittner.

Who Dey Forever Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 I remember pimping him during the draft when he came out. He's a solid player and would definitely be an upgrade to our secondary. Sign him!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Nukem Posted August 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 From bengals.com .... ESPN reported Whitner was close Sunday night, but that didn't look to be the case Monday morning.

Hobson doesn't seem to be saying that things have taken a step backwards as much as saying things aren't quite as close as ESPN seem to think it is. That's Hobson's MO anyway. He doesn't tend to hype any move until its confirmed. And to be honest, if we're being frank, ESPN has a better track record of breaking Bengals news than Hobson does. So the ESPN stance very well might have been, and still is true. Joe Reedy seemed to think it will be done by mid-day today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
