I'm still not certain Whit would have made a difference this year.

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.
