<![CDATA[Press conference]]>Whitner seems a very intelligent guy, be a good locker room presence

]]>https://brownsboard.com/topic/28717/press-conferenceRSS for NodeThu, 01 Oct 2026 09:11:59 GMTWed, 12 Mar 2014 21:12:04 GMT60<![CDATA[Reply to Press conference on Thu, 13 Mar 2014 11:33:03 GMT]]>Resigning Ward would've been nice, but I think the Browns have got an equal to maybe better replacement in Whitner. This D could use some more people known for being hard hitters. (Even if it means today's NFL will fine you.)

I'm sure someone on here has a website with all the rankings, but Ward can't tackle and is slow in pass coverage. He never wraps up a ball carrier. and only had 1 good year and that was last year......... his contract year.

Whitner has been an outstanding tackler his entire career

It depends on what you mean by "tackle". He's very effective for his size getting a ball carrier on the ground. Just ask Rob Gronkowski.

That's why he's a punt returner

Exactly. We were talking about other options for kick returner.

I liked Ward's passion & energy, but he wasn't very good in pass coverage. I don't think it's a huge loss, wish him well.

Just seemed like no one ever noticed his "passion and energy" until he needed a new contract.

He will go back to being a nobody, until his next contract year

Whitner was terrible last year in coverage. I really don't understand the thinking here, Ward should have been re-signed.

Benjamin would get hit full speed by a linebacker or running back on one kickoff... And we would never hear from him again. Ever.

Right. Even when healthy Benjamin was not handling KORs.

Of course, now 75% of kickoffs are touchbacks, so KR is becoming a devalued position.

But they can still be killer....ask The Broncos.

Whitner trying to get Tedd Ginn JR to sign says could happen

Maybe, if the Hawkins signing doesn't come to fruition. But Ginn had a good year with the Panthers and Cam. Not sure why he would leave that situation. He is a FA. Does Carolina not want him?

Or maybe Whitner should try to get his running mate from San Fran to come here: Tarell Brown.

ESPN has him as the #1 best Corner FA. Better than Talib, better than Revis. Better than Vontae Davis or Sam Shields.

It seems like he has turned the corner and is a serviceable wide receiver.
