Never liked this guy. He's talented but too hot headed.

Not sure I want to mess with team chemistry now unless necessary due to Tillman's prognosis, etc.  But wow, to work out players on Friday after Thanksgiving after just winning a blowout to get to 11-0.  That shows me our team - incl our Front Office - is not willing to rest on their laurels, but is being proactive to attack any and every weakness.

Love it.

I don't get that. I know I remember it being said that Shaq was drafted to play the nickel

Shaq is here to keep our LB corp crazy good b/c our FO values it.  He will ultimately be Davis' replacement and allow us to continue the trend of great LB play.

Whose spot does he take? Can he willing to play ST like Colin?

I don't like this guy. But I trust the organizations good judgement.

I respect the team's evaluation but I never cared much for this guy

He probably is much easier to stomach when he plays on your team.

I mean look at Smitty and Norman....he really isn't more annoying than them.  But those were our guys

I don't think WRs would be able to tolerate having to listen to both Finnegan and Norman in the same game.

The longsnapper's spot.

Possible upgrade over Teddy Williams.

Is Finnegan fast?  Williams has been doing a good job as gunner, but too many penalties.

We do have a  3 game "trial window" with a free roster spot while Horton is suspended... (assuming we release the emergency long snapper)

At CB but Teddy is our best gunner.  Those ST jobs are very underrated and Ron finally acknowledged how just inserting random guys into ST instead of real special teammers is costly

Jones is a special teams guy and has stuck around for a few years at the bottom of the roster because of it. He wouldn't be cut in favor of another nickel.
