Finnegan will start off as a nickel CB

Looks like they are throwing him right in the mix against N. O. Dude won't even have time to lace up his cleats, three days practice at best. Jones stunk it up so bad at nickel, that  a guy coming right off the couch will start. Jones is a ST's ace and back up, let's keep him there. This will be quite interesting Sunday.

Start off is not the same as start

But I think he probably will get significant playing time.

I don't see how you can give him significant playing time.

He is an older player that hasn't had any contact or game time in a LONG time.  That will just get him hurt.  They got to ease him into this or it is a wasted move IMO.

I clicked the thread assuming the title meant start wide with Norman.  Was gonna say what are we not seeing in Bene that means he's better in the slot than out wide?  Everything I've seen has shown me Bene is a solid out-wide CB, but below average slot CB.  Hope this doesn't end up being the case.  Bene and Norman need to be "starters" with Peanut, Finnegan, whoever else in the slot/nickel.

    • Mel Kiper said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL starter too. Just because the experts make a claim doesnt mean it's true either.  Bryce may be a serviceable QB for someone. Serviceable QBs don't bring you a perennial winner or lead you to the playoffs over and over. Serviceable QBs also dont get 50m plus per year deals which is what a Bryce extension would look like.  The stats show he hasn't been even a serviceable QB in the 3 years he's been here. The eye test shows he hasn't put together 2 franchise QB salary games back to back in 3 years.  Complain all you want about people being negative, but people pointing out that Bryce is held to a different standard than anyone else on the team isn't complaining. It's stating the obvious. 
    • We have big bodied WRs and 3 TEs who all have potential and each bring something different to the table. I never saw the need to go out there and try and find a new starting TE.  While it's nice to have a guy like McBride, Bowers, etc, I think a team's better use of the cap is by having TEs on rookie contracts or cheap vets, not having to pay elite TE money.
    • He had the award until like the last 8 games. He sucked ass and flagg had 3 40 point games
