Beyond false.
In 12 games, he had 8 sacks, 3 coming in one game (in '15) and in that '15 game, only 1 was against Whitworth. So the worst that could be is 6 sacks in 12 games (of which 3 he was shut out), but I cannot confirm who each of the sacks was against, outside of that '15 game, as Dumervil lined up all over the line.
Just like, "Leon Hall can't cover speed guys," the notion that Whitworth couldn't handle small guys is bogus.
Only 1 player gave Whitworth trouble over his whole career and that was Dwight Freeney: in 4 career games against Whitworth, he got 6 sacks.
