The criticism of White is that he freestyles and doesn’t play within a scheme and stick to his assignments. The fact that he can’t seem to get a multi-year deal suggests he’s not valued by teams as a key defender in spite of his athleticism. I don’t see why this is controversial.

He was so wrongly criticized after the UCLA season opener a few years ago.

No one on the team or staff was “wrongly” criticized for that total shitfest. They were awful.

My only critique of the critique is that the name of the game is to play. Getting contracts, 1 year, 3 years, etc. it doesn't matter. He's been able to stick around in the league

NFL players have short careers. He had a great first 3-4 years and has lost a step and isn’t quite as good. Pretty typical, still a great career which isn’t over btw


And for the record, he had 174 tackles with the Raiders last season. 3rd in the NFL.

Like I said - he just started 17 games for the raiders last season & led the team in tackles. He’s pretty good

I’m not entertaining your schtick anymore

Tackles are not an indicator of play level, Jimmy. It’s not 1991 anymore.

man I wish we'd wear actual gold all the time. Those helmets look so much better than the yellow.

Brooks was compared to LT at the time.

Never heard Devin compared to Lambert or Singletary.
