Devin White was listed as full participation yesterday on the injury report, so he'll likely play this week. I know Bowles has said in the past that players won't lose their starting roles due to injury, but the defense I feel has actually improved in some areas since he's been out of the lineup....with that said does Bowles re-insert him as a starter for 100% of the snaps in this pivotal Packers game ? Or does he actually start to rotate him with Dennis, and Britt ? I don't think it's coincidence that we've won the last 2 games he's been out of the lineup.
while i agree that White doesnt deserve to start, our opponents the last 2 weeks
- The 1 win Carolina Panthers in which we barely squeaked out a win
- An offensive explosion of 29 points against the Falcons. Defense played great in the first half, but if that game was 10 seconds longer, we've have given up a 30 burger in points on defense
to me the big question is whether are over paid CBs play in Davis and Dean as well as Vita Vea.
we need all hands on deck if the team has any fight in it.
Bowles will absolutely start Devin White. He may not playing 100% the snaps but given his situation/draft status he will start the game.
He may start, but the snap count is another story. Bowles has his own job on the line. He now knows Britt and Dennis can play.
Bowles can't take a long term approach, not even a two game approach. If you want to say that at this point every game is a playoff game well then stop coddling your star prospect hoping he'll come around and turn into something. You put the best players on the field period.

I think that is why White plays a lot.
I dont agree, but I think he plays
Bowles will absolutely start Devin White.
He's an idiot. So, of course he would.
If White plays he needs to be blitzing the A gap the majority of the snaps. Or else he tends to loaf and be lost in the wash.
If White is healthy Bowles definitely puts him in.
LB Devin White will not play, but it's not injury related.

Looks like someone told Bowles to finally bench his sorry ass.

This didn't age well. He's a healthy inactive
After trotting White there game after game after game when he continued to suck, I’m pretty stunned that he’s a healthy scratch. Whether the front office got involved or not, it’s a happy surprise.

They're reporting it's a "coach's decision".
Don’t leave out last part from Stroud
“We will talk to Todd Bowles after the game and hopefully Devin White. I’ve been told two things. It was Todd Bowles’ decision to make White inactive. The other one is that White told his coaches he didn’t think he could go today despite practicing all week.”

Will be interesting to see it play out
