Keith Bulluck questions why it took so long for Finnegan...

Listen, if Jay-Z and Snoop can rap into their 40's, then you can listen to it until your 40's. That's the rule. And where I'm at hip-hop is huge. I'm not in Nashville where country music and jazz are popular. I'm 20 mins from NYC so the clubs, and bars etc. are all influenced by NYC culture. We have it all here, but hip-hop ranks #1. I don't care for that genre of music as much as I did when I was 17 tho. It is a young style of music that a lot of young people like. I'd say by the time I'm 30 my taste will change even more. But for now I still get down with Jay and Wayne. I kinda have to considering it's all around, MTV, BET, radio, commercials, all over. I'm sure if it were the 1920's jazz would be more in my life, but its 2010 rap is big now.

 

Keith is one of the most caring and giving player on that team. He not only gives money, but he gives his time and actually spends time with the kids benefitting from his foundation. Keith is also a kid from New York. He is going to give it to you in the realest way. You won't walk away wondering what he really meant. In his own words, "tell 'em how you really feel, son!"

Keith and other players have been fined numerous times, for numerous reasons. Keith seriously doesn't feel that Chuck's fine is any special or different than any other fine. Cortand is in the secondary, and has a closer relationship to Chuck, since he started out coaching the secondary. Simply, Keith isn't feeling it and is saying it in his own words instead of letting it become some sort of story.

 

Then turn off the radio's top 20 bubble gum rappers and listen to some with substance:

whats this thread about yo?

 

I agree. If I were to bet..I would say that Keith at some point during this season has made his feelings known to the coaching staff about his opinion on this. I think he's come public now maybe because the season is over and since the Titans arent in the playoffs theres no "distraction". Plus he's a FA and knows he'll probably wont return. JMO

 

Rap Music and Bulluck dogging on Cecil. Keep up yo!

 

Um...

I'm a Fisher supporter but this is a scheme problem with a ridiculous explanation. Finnegan can't play left and right sides? Why not. When he started playing for us he was the nickel and played both sides then...did he forget how to do that? WR's break left and right against him don't they? When we do play man coverage and they plays twins to one side...one of our cb's is on the 'uncomfortable' side. Plus, Finny knows how to play inside man and outside man technique...so what difference would it make which side of the field he's on???

Anyone who's played football...especially the CB position knows this is a ridiculous argument. Plus, I'd take Finnegan being slightly 'uncomfortable' matched up against the other teams best WR over him playing zone against no one while the offense matches their best WR on Harper and their #2 WR against Thornton in zone coverage.

Gut,

I completely agree with you on the argument. I played CB in high school and had to play both sides of the field. it is a scheming problem and havent we been using the same defensive scheme on every opponent while with jim schwartz we had a different scheme for different teams with a different offense? While I don't think KB meant to put down finnegan, he is crediting him for being our best corner, he questions our defensive coord for not matching him up with the best WR, and I don't fault him for that. He has been the leader on defense for the past few years, and he has made some great plays. I can understand where the frustration comes from. He probobly won't come back to play for the Titans again sad to say because I would love for the titans to resign him and with his injury, who knows. I can only hope the Titans do something to help our pass d.

 

Well...

First, I don't think KB put Finny down at all...just questioning the coaching decisions to not match our best CB on their best WR while offenses frequently (and at will) match their best WR on our worst CB...especially in the red zone. If anything, he's paying Finny respect by saying he SHOULD be on their best guy because he thinks Finny is THAT good!

The Titans D evolved under Schwartz. He inherited the aggressive man coverage blitz style from Williams and had the personel to run it. However, injury problems and then dumping the team meant a new start built around the Colts/Tampa 2 defense. Simple defenses, better execution, more turnovers. Even with at least 50% of the team's talent, the Titans D was still bad for several years under schwartz. The last few years, we've run the same scheme both with Schwartz and now Cecil. We don't make too many adjustments relying on better execution and player's natural instincts to be the deciding factor. Unfortunately, this is MORE than offset by the tactical advantages of allowing Offenses to dictate matchups and coverages at will!

I agree! and i meant to say that he gave kudos to finny being our best corner! and I think he has the right to question the coaching decisions since he is a player.
