Peter King on Whitworth

[Okeana]

Whitworth is an anomaly because of his off season conditioning and yoga. That coupled with not having sustained any major injuries means the guy can easily play for 3 or 4 more years. They couldn't afford zeitler I can understand that, but you don't give up arguably the best player and leader on the team because of age when his play hasn't declined. Marvin Lewis knew this and I think losing Whit was possibly his last straw and the best we can hope for now while we still have talent on the team is a new coaching staff that can utilize young talent.
