BEREA, Ohio – Donte Whitner arrived at the scene of Sunday's midfield collision with perfect timing and nasty intent.
When the strong safety is on his game he doesn't need to say a word about how good he thinks the Browns' defense and secondary can be. The concussive sound of pads hitting pads and the crowd's reaction tell the story.
Whitner walloped Ravens' Darren Waller, knocking the ball from his clutches and the receiver from the game in the third quarter of the Browns' 33-30 overtime win. It's the kind of jolt folks in Cleveland have come to expect from his days at Glenville High and Ohio State.
