If Wilhite is reminding you of Hobbs, how can he have a good future? Hobbs is terrible and to think he'll get better is ridiculous. He hasn't improved and I don't see why he would. He's just not a good cover corner. However, he is an outstanding kick returner.

Well, James "Bad Angle" Sanders was not back there so yeah, there was a huge improvement. Lewis' athletic abilities back there was a refreshing site.

I wholeheartedly agree on Wilhite's play today--and I think he may be good enough to be a starting CB. I didn't understand why people were saying he was suited for the slot CB role and why BB had Wheatley playing outside. I never trust the listed heights of these guys but Wilhite definitely looks a little bigger than Wheatley.

Anyway, I think it might be Hobbs and Wilhite as the corners last year with Wheatley the nickle guy covering the slot.

These guys are going to take their lumps this year, but more because they are inexperienced and they've never played together rather than a lack of ability. Once they get used to their roles and each other I think this might be a decent unit.

I'm not sold! He's a terrible tackler, he whiffed big time on a screen pass this week and combined with last weeks let up, he doesn't thrill me. The int was a terrible throw by Russel. I hope I'm wrong.

Before we put Wilhite in Canton let see how he looks against Larry Fitzgerald or Anquan Boldin...Arizona next Sunday.

Let's call out the guy with 2? career starts and say I'm not sold. The reality is he played tighter than our stop-gap (O'Neal), made his first career INT and had a couple of nice pass defensed. ROOKIE mistakes are going to happen.

How about rating Wilhite and for that fact Wheatley 3 years into their tenure, like most drafts should be properly evaluated.

The stupidity levels on this board sometimes befuddle me.

If you guys remember Wheatley's play against the Colts, it was impressive from what little time he had in. I remember 2 passes thrown his way and he broke up both. He injured his wrist on breaking up a deep ball one on one (amazing play for a noob)

I tend to agree with that .. I thought Wheatley was starting to look solid given experience before his suspect arm went. If he can get fit then both he and Wilhite could be rotating with Hobbs in there next season

Given we have 2 second rounders and maybe a 3rd if we can tag and trade Cassel then I think 2 of those have to be a saftey and an OLB and if there's value there then also a tall CB and a TE

True, but with her drug background, I believe that was just too risky of a move.

your opinions of hobbs are pretty extreme.

i think he's a pretty decent corner and a Good Kick Returner.

i don't think he's terrible or outstanding at anything.
