Bleh. Not a fan. We are about to sign the biggest tool in the league.

Hopefully Larry Fitzgerald won't pull an Andre Johnson on him. :lmao:

I'm getting really excited now especially if we get Jones. Fill up two holes on an already really solid D in a 24 hours is awesome.
I had this feeling last year though so punch me now. :box:
GO RAMS

So is Finnegan a better CB than Bartell was when healthy? I know he likes to get in the face of WR's, but not sure of his pure CB ability. If so I'm stoked. This is hella fun Ram bros!!!!!!

Just the physical part of it...Bartell held his own w/ Fitz. Finnegan w/ Andre. And Wayne.

@ least he's healthy and one less thing to worry about in the early part of the draft.

Can you imagine Finnegan in a bounty system?? I can see him taking it way too literally and going for armbars or kimuras :lmao:

Even with his hot temper I like this signing. I hope he beats Randy Moss up (figuratively) and makes him regret ever signing the dotted line with the Whiners.

Id say he has better ball skills than Bartell.

Well, to the tune of 3 INTs in the last 2 years. Bartell might be better suited to cover the NFC West style bigger receivers (Fitzgerald, Crabtree, Rice). But Finnegan is scrappy and a battler. Sometimes literally.

And I really like the presence Finnegan brings to this D. I thought Brandon Carr was the best CB on the market, especially factoring in his age, but Finnegan made the most sense for us. He had 10 INTs in 08 and 09, Fishers last 2 seasons in Tennessee. I also think he has cleaned up on his on-field tactics. I dont think hes gotten in trouble since the fight with Andre Johnson.

From Pro Football Focus:

The top CB on the market Finnegan stopped with the nuisance nonsense in 2011, and actually just covered people. And he did it rather well. Our third ranked cornerback on the year, he stepped up by playing the slot in nickel and remains one of the better defensive backs in the run game.

I've always liked Fletcher for his run game defense so to have two cb's that can play the run well, hell yeah!

I dunno. I think it;s a lateral move to get Fisher's own guy in there. I don't think it's marked improvement over Bartell, unless of course you just count the gain from him knowing the D and knowing Fisher.
