Wilhite looked REALLY good today - New England Patriots Forums

Nice to see someone stepping up! He was all over the recievers today. Definately an improvement over O'Neal

O'Neal is gone as soon as the season is over.

Wilhite's year is very similar to Hobbs rookie year. I think he has a good future ahead of him.

And the person Wilhite replaced (O'Neal) has reminded me of the person Hobbs replaces (Starks). So everything is relative, I guess.

Wilhite's the real deal for sure. He's smart too IIRC. He did an interview right before TC and he sounded like a BB type player. It's good he's getting some experience too. He's a Keeper.

Tatum O'Neal would be an improvement over Deltha O'Neal

Great news. CB is a desperate area right now.

Lewis Sanders looked very good at safety as well. It's possible that the defensive backfield may not be as bad as thought.

Then again, it is only the Raiders...

Thumbs up on Willhite. Wish I could say the same for Hobbs. He is now consistently worse than mediocre. And Merriweather has some physical tools but takes some poor angles in run support. Lewis Sanders looked very good at safety. For 09: Willhite and Wheatley at CB, Merriweather and Sanders ? at S. OKay, but not a great picture, and still need a Rodney replacement.
