Finnegan will start off as a nickel CB

[Jmac]

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.

Starting at nickel or opposite Norman?

 

Nvm title has been updated.

[CRA]

when is the last time he played a football game?

I would imagine he is far from suiting up and being a starter in anything other than name and will be on a snap count.

Hopefully a upgrade from Jones. Not like we are playing a top tier team, so be good game to get his feet wet.

Sean McDermott: Finnegan will start off in slot.

[Jmac]

Starting at Nickel looks like...guess it's Bene and Josh at corners.

[Ricky Spanish]

Start off is not the same as start

But I think he probably will get significant playing time.

[Toker Smurf]

Guess this doesn't say much for Lou Young.

Given how easily the Saints burnt us in the slot last time, hope weren't not taking this lightly...

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.

If you're gonna throw him in the deep end, might as well do it against the bum saints

[JawnyBlaze]

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.

Over/under for the number of penalty flags he draws: 2

[JawnyBlaze]

We officially have the most annoying tandem of CBs in history.

(if Finnegan is starting opposite Norman)
