I may sound monomaniac, but I really don't see what Whitner is bringing to the table... Missed tackles, slow, gets beaten on coverage, doesn't ever break out from his blocks... I know you may say he's not the one costing us the game but I really don't see why you would play him over Ihenacho. I'm fine with Duke and Blackmon.

He's the best stopgap available, you got someone in mind that would be better? Have to wait till next years draft to DL, DE/OLB, S, ILB. This team's defense is a player or 2 away from being excellent.

Agreed on that bolded part 100% !

Still not sold on Whitner, did he make a play since we signed him? I have a hard time seeing him as our best stopgap available since he misses too many tackles for my taste

Like I said, who else is available? Whitner is slow but at least he can tackle (maybe so-so lately). That penalty if you see it in realtime, he couldn't stop and wasn't late. The hit on Reed in the endzone should have been a 15 yard penalty.

Reed is a man!!

Jordan Reed plays through shoulder injury sustained early in loss, excels against Cowboys

They are a player or three away from being good enough that we will win because our offense rocks.....
