October 19, 200916 yr I love the fact that we've done so well without our 1st round pick. I hope he can continue to learn the playbook & contribute in a few weeks, if not sooner.
October 19, 200916 yr The line has done a pretty good job this year without him. I think if the line is still doing good, and has a good rhythm going, I think he might have a hard time getting to play to much. It will be interesting to see how he does though, him playing could mess up things on the line, or make it even better.
October 19, 200916 yr Who will he start over? I hope Whitworth. I absolutely HATE Whitworth. It won't be Whitworth, although he has struggled recently. Wasn't Whitworth a guard who has moved to tackle? I don't expect Smith to come in & start right away, but I think he'll make the line much better as the season progresses. If nothing else, he'll provide quality depth.

Whitworth came to the NFL as a LT for LSU. He started many games for the Bengals his rookie year at LT for the Bengals, because Levi was hurt a lot. Then he moved to guard. So Whitworth is at his natural position. I don't see why someone hates Whitworth though, he has done a good job this year. He has protected Carson, and has done a good job run blocking. Mental mistakes is what he needs to fix, and that can be fixed. He always seems to have one hold a game, he needs to stop that. Smith will be playing at RT this year, if and when he starts to play.

Don't act like he's great. Seems like whenever your boy Carson gets some momentum Mr. Whitworth holds, or jumps, or lines up off the ball to kill the drive. As much as Bratkowski keeps this team from gaining momentum Whitworth does much the same.

I also can't stand how every time there's a penalty he's always the one pushing others out of the way to get in the ref's ears while they're discussing the penalty. He's just dumb and obnoxious.
October 20, 200916 yr I wonder what kind of shape he will be in. Has great feet if healthy and in shape.
October 21, 200916 yr Author I wonder what kind of shape he will be in. Has great feet if healthy and in shape. He was quoted as saying he's "way under 350."

As much as Bratkowski keeps this team from gaining momentum Whitworth does much the same. I am pretty sure I never even mentioned the word great in the whole post. Secondly I am also pretty sure that I even mentioned how he has at least one hold a game or something which needs to stop. So really what point are you trying to make in this post to me, since you just said what I just said? Whitworth has done a good job this year, penalties is the one thing he needs to fix. I mean that is a problem that can be fixed, at least he is not just having guys blow by him and drill our franchise QB. He has done a really good job so far there this year for the most part.
