Have you seen Colin Jones at the nickle lately?

Just because Jones sucks ass in coverage, doesn't make me like the d-bag more.

Couldn't agree more.

I don't know what he has left to offer, but he'll bring more toughness to the defense.    However that translates at this point of his career.

Not worried about his attitude, we have enough veterans in the locker room who will let him know when he crosses the line... too much at stake now to let one player ruin it.

[Cary Kollins]

Love this signing. I wanted him this offseason too.

If you don't like him because of prior on-field incidents, you'll get over it quick.

He is a dog. He'll fit right in with this defense.

At the very least he is depth behind Jones.

The FO isn't playing around.

[Gazi]

He's got a swagger to be in that locker room. I like it. But expect a lot hate coming our way.

"In 2010, Finnegan became a member of School of the Legends (SOTL), an online communityand partner of the NFLPA.^[3] SOTL's headquarters are located in Nashville, TN. He also became Titans' Community Man of the Year due to his fundraising efforts and the establishment of ARK 31, a non-profit charity for children with disabilities and special needs.^[4][5]"

 

That's from his Wikipedia page, what an asshole. If you're strictly hating on him because of his on field crap than I can't imagine how much some of you would hate Cam or Josh if they played for other teams. Cortland gets under people's skin just like Josh, hopefully he has something left in the tank!

Is he really the best CB available?

"Best" is subjective. Does he have the ability to do what we need him to do to fit into our defense? Yes. Tough, physical player. Will play the run and can stay with slot receivers. We won't have to scheme around him being on the field as we did with having Colin Jones in the nickel. Not sure if he's the best, but he's the "best fit".

This. It's enough for me. He antagonizes other teams but is a good guy. Sounds like plenty of players we have and have had. I'm good with it.

Gettleman has proven very good at finding discarded talent.  Rivera and Co have done a great job of taking lost and broken toys and turning them into a fierce defense.

Got to trust the G, and I'm sure he knows his leash is very short.  If he costs us games with stupid penalties, he's done.

[Wyank]

In Getty I Trust.  

[Gazi]

In Gettleman we trust! Welcome to a winning organization, Cortland. Now get that ring

Agreed. First thing I did was go to Youtube and Google. Found pretty much photos of his incident with Andre Johnson and him holding a bunch of plaques for community service and helping the less fortunate. Went to YouTube and found an e:60 on his story as well. Dude is feisty and physical. He's Josh Norman/Steve Smith (in a sense) without the success. Dude's 31, can't wait to see him in our D. Not having to scheme around having Colin Jones on the field will do wonders for an already wonderful defense.
