View Full Version : Finnegan Shining as Nickel Back
goTitans.com 09-29-2006, 09:12 AM SUMMARY: Cortland Finnegan, a seventh-round draft pick out of Samford, won a training camp competition to be the third CB in the nickel package. In doing so, he brings 4.33 speed to a position the Titans often use in pressure packages to blitz. Finnegan already has two sacks to his credit after three games. "Cortland's very quick and he's instinctive and he can dip and he can work his way to the quarterback," Titans coach Jeff Fisher said. "That's helped him. I feel like he's going to be a pretty good player. He's still learning; he's got a lot to learn, but he's learning on the run and he's learned from his mistakes and has been productive for us."

Gunny 09-29-2006, 10:09 AM who was the NB before him??
Ewker 09-29-2006, 10:10 AM was it Fuller?
Broken Record 09-29-2006, 10:13 AM Woolfolk?
Gunny 09-29-2006, 10:17 AM I think it was Fuller.
TitanJeff 09-29-2006, 10:19 AM Fuller was before he got hurt. Then I think it was Waddell.
A positive!!! :grrhee:
I've kinda wondered if the guy could replace LT :bump:
KptTitanFan 09-29-2006, 10:29 AM Anyone know what LT's 40 speed is?

Hill is faster than Finnegan, but not by much.... Lamont looks like he's more of a Strong Safety, he doesn't have great speed at all.
Banshee2 09-29-2006, 12:04 PM Hill is faster than Finnegan, but not by much.... Lamont looks like he's more of a Strong Safety, he doesn't have great speed at all.
Or tackling ability. Or the ability to take good angles in pursuit. Or good football instincts in general. :banned:

its sad that I knew what you meant...lol

hill looks like he's running in slow motion when he's in pursuit. he must be one of those track guys, because finnegan looks much faster in game speed.

Gene the PIG 09-29-2006, 04:42 PM Finnegan, so far, is a bright spot on a dismal team.
His blitz's & sacks remind me of when Rod Woodson & Carnell Lake used to blindside the EFF out of Warren Moon back in the day. It seemed like every time the Steelers & Oilers hooked up in the late 80's/early 90's, either Lake or Woodson planted Moon in the ground. I hated it, but Cortland's hits remind me of that. Not bad for a rookie.
He hits hard.
Oooh, I like that.
& as much of a moron as T.O. is, he'll prolly shred our crappy deep backs (namely #'s 21 & 28) for five TD's. :rolleyes:
Lamont looks like he's more of a Strong Safety, he doesn't have great speed at all.
LaMont looks like he could make a good ref one day, because he's always a step slow and he's usually running down the field WITH the guy instead of AFTER him

Bulluck only is 2nd in the LEAUGE in tackling, youre right, lets trade or sit or cut him
smili 09-29-2006, 09:14 PM Anyone know what LT's 40 speed is?
Must be pretty good. He's always running people down from behind.:rolleyes:
Tennessee 09-30-2006, 03:20 AM Must be pretty good. He's always running people down from behind.:rolleyes:
... They know he's chasing, the opposition doesn't run hard cause even if he catches up it's not like Thompson's gonna actually tackle them... they're not worried.
They don't want to show him up too much, then somebody else might start. :banned:
SEC 330 BIPOLAR 09-30-2006, 12:08 PM Bulluck only is 2nd in the LEAUGE in tackling, youre right, lets trade or sit or cut him:whoop:
I was talking about all the fan rah rah. These posters go all gooey :whoop: over a player for a couple of weeks and then they torch him when they find a new shiny dime to hold up. I wasn't ripping on Bulluck so much as I was ripping on all of us. :whoop: Fisher is god! Fisher stinks. Reynaldo is the greatest thing ever! Reynaldo blows! :yes:
Ewker 09-30-2006, 12:49 PM lets bring back Volek so we can rehash all of that again :duckrun:
Lamont Thompson couldn't carry Billy Voleks jock strap. Volek is the best QB in the NFL yet to take a snap in 2006 and everyone knows it. The only perosn Billy Volek fears is Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris just wondered what Billy Volek would look like with a bolt on his head and it was just lucky for Billy Volek he was traded to San Diego or else only Chuck knows what would have happened.

Lamont Thompson.... Billy Volek.... Chuck Norris
Ummm... Which of these names is not like the others?
I hope that's the last time I ever see those three in the same sentence.:grrhee:
bigtitan53279 09-30-2006, 05:17 PM lamont thompson doesnt belong in the same sentence with chuck norris.
Gunny 09-30-2006, 08:29 PM Reynaldo is the greatest thing ever! Reynaldo blows! :yes:
Everyone has their love and hate for certain religions. :yes:
Tennessee 09-30-2006, 09:55 PM lamont thompson doesnt belong in the same sentence with chuck norris.
Exactly!!!!
and... ?
Neither does Billy Volek!
Ewker 09-30-2006, 10:34 PM Neither does Billy Volek!
you are right..he is above Chucky poo :ha:
sirjesse 10-01-2006, 12:02 PM the only reason any of our defensive backs shine is because some receiver lit them up.....
