Don't try to get Xs and Os on me, guy. I coach high school football. I understand the game. I drive a Dodge Stratus! I just don't like to see him described as a "playmaker." Ed Reed is a playmaker. Kerry Rhodes is a playmaker. Troy Polamalu is a playmaker. I have no problem if you want to describe Whitner as a good safety. I guess it depends on what your definition of a playmaker is. If your definition of a playmaker is someone who "makes nice tackles" and is largely innocuous, then sure, he's a playmaker.
