"It's interesting, it really shows you how much being cohesive and being together matters... I look at this young defense and think they're growing and getting better. Since the bye, they've turned things around. There's still offseason holes where they have to get better, but to see the steps this group has taken up front, you have to feel really good about what the future of this could be."......Whitworth was tailgating with fans ahead of the game as part of his new partnership with Tide, which came to the rescue when the food and drinks he indulged got a tad messy.......You are not allowed to view links.
