Offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth blames the NFL for allowing this to fester.
"That's the NFL's fault for not protecting the players," Whitworth said via Bengals.com in regards to Vince Williams. "After he sent that tweet he should have been suspended or fined or they should have made a stand that you shouldn't do that. Making a threat off the field, in the street, and you do nothing about it in this in this day and age? If he made that threat to me, I've got four small kids and I've got to worry about this guy jumping me?
"It sparked everything," Whitworth said. "We're competitive and Bengals-Steelers has always been chippy. But what that almost turned into was out of control. And it was an easy fix. You don't threaten another player's life off-the-field."
Ok.. this happened how many weeks ago?.. and this dude is just now expressing his opinion on it?
