Whitner once again called out another 49ers defensive back, this time cornerback Deommodore Lenoir, and issued a challenge: cover Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jauan Jennings.
“Deommodore Lenoir talked a lot of sht to me,” Whitner said on his Grit Code Podcast . “After I analyzed him properly and showed that he was hiding on the play vs Seattle last year. ” Whitner is referencing a January 9 podcast where he criticized Lenoir for covering Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
Shortly after the podcast dropped, Lenoir responded via his Instagram, and he and Whitner went at it. “All the sht you talked to me,” Whitner continued. “I want to see you go four quarters versus the roughhouse.
” The “roughhouse” Whitner is referring to is Jennings, who signed with the Minnesota Vikings. The 49ers face the Vikings in Week 11. “I want to see if all that sht you were talking to me,” Whitner said.
