inmate running the asylum Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Greg White Position: Defensive End/Linebacker Drafted: Round 7, #229 overall Height: 6'3" Weight: 260 College: Minneosta Birthday: July 25, 1979 NFL Comparison: Jevon Kearse Strengths: Greg White is a defensive playmaker. He's recorded 11 sacks, 23 tackles-for-losses and 7 forced fumbles in his last 22 starts. The athletic White is an excellent pass rusher, uses his hands well to thwart offensive linemen and is very agile and tough to block and contain. He's also technically sound. Areas of concern: White's one-dimensional: strictly a pass rusher. He can get buried along the line of scrimmage (he's small for a defensive end) and teams can run at him because he has trouble filling his space and holding ground. He's also been known to take plays off and lacks natural instincts -- he thinks too much, reacts too little. 2002 Expectations: White will likely be looked at as a 3-4 edge rusher, as that's what he projects to be in the NFL, even though he struggled at OLB at Minnesota. The guy made a lot of plays in college, so he's not a throwaway pick by any stretch, but, in all likelihood, his greatest impact, assuming he makes the team, will be on special teams.

MidPennSkin Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 The big problem with White is lack of speed. According to USAToday, White runs the 40 in 4.9, which is not exactly Jevon Kearse speed (Kearse has been timed at 4.43 for the 40, but more realistically is around 4.60. Ebenezer Ekuban is listed in the same source at 4.63, and he is a UFA this year. Maybe we can take a look at him on Sunday (or maybe not - Ogbobu is starting instead of Ekuban due to Parcells' dissatisfaction with his play).
