    thats something is great play, great open field tackles, nice coverage, and 2 diving interceptions with a Cast on his wrist.....

    If Griffin wins the CB job, Finn needs to play at the nickel. If Finn wins the starting job, Griffin needs to play the nickel or safety. Both are too good to sit.

    They are putting Griffin at the line of scrimmage, and he is really helping in run support. They will roll a safety over to help him on deep routes. I can see the logic now.

    I almost wish Finnegan had gotten a look at FS. The prospect of him remaining the nickle does not please me with Thompson entrenched.

    So the question becomes, if Finnegan and Harper start, who plays nickle?

    Griffin or Fuller?

    If Griffin eventually starts, then does Finnegan return to nickle, or does he get a look at FS?

    I will say the Thompson problem of "late on coverage" would probably all but disappear with Finnegan in there.
     
  7. Hey remember last season when Lawory laid out Marvin Harrison and caused him to drop that pass. That was amazing, first time i have seen harrison hit that hard.:))

    Good point - I hadn't really thought of it like that. At this point I don't care where he plays, as long as he's on the field somewhere. My gut says he might start on the outside - Harper said they were really stressing run support on the edges, and both Griff and Harper are good there. Finny would then stay at nickel and provide relief on the outside as they rotate. With as much man coverage as Fisher and Schwartz like to play, I can see the logic in having him at CB instead of S. FS on the Titans is a bit more of a supporting role - why have such a talent there to back up someone else?

    I think Harper is solid but I would like to see Finny and Griff as our 2 starting CB's.

    Thing is we paid Harper too much to come in here and sit. But next season expect Griff and Finnegan as our starters at CB, I think they will be a very good combo.
