game than Donald. Could very well happen and I bet they have just as big of an effect in this game. Our DT's match up very
well going against Allen and the Rams interior. Also Hendrickson and Hubbard will give Whit and Havenstein trouble.
Just saw this article on nfl.com about the level of Whitworth's play this year. I had heard he was declining. Some posters referenced that he was showing his age and not nearly as effective as in the past. Not according to this article:
"The amazing part of Whitworth's story is that, like Brady, he hasn't declined significantly with age. This season, Pro Football Focus has given him a pass-blocking grade of 89.6, which is the highest he's achieved since coming to the Rams and ranks first among offensive tackles. The 6-foot-7, 330-pound Whitworth allowed just five quarterback sacks and 17 total pressures in a season when he once again served as the lynchpin for Los Angeles' offensive line."
