Panthers sign Cortland Finnegan

Panthers sign Cortland Finnegan | ProFootballTalk

Looks like Peanut might be out a while. Is this an upgrade over Jones as the nickel?

 

Here's a gem pickup from a comment on the site

"Innegan stinks.

He used to be Finnegan but Andre Johnson beat the F out of him."

Let's hope he works out well and resting Tillman means he'll be healed and fresh for the playoffs.

I do remember the guy is mean as hell. Maybe he wants a ring bad enough he'll not only behave, but be on his toes and prep well, leading to a good contribution.

Jones hasn't been very good in Nickel.

 

So long as he's gone by the playoffs

 

89 was a distraction.
A cheap shot artist that's played terribly the last 2 years is apparently not.

 

I'm confused. You talkin bout Finnegan or Harper?

 

I bet he was planning on calling Jack Tatum first, but found out he was dead.

 

Its come out that Smitty was directly related to Cam Newton.

Honestly, it's retarded that all anyone talks about is the thing concerning COrtland - the one episode with Johnson. He had a very solid career around all that, and when that's all anyone brings up, it's a sad reminder that the masses have middle school mentalities and giggle at one fucking thing that had no merit on the greater picture.

He's a scrappy player, used to be a good cover guy, who knows if he still is - is a sturdy run defender, and seems like he could still bring something to the table.

If anyone watches the Dallas game again, almost every play they made was at the feet of Jones. I like Jones, but he will get us exposed every week, and so why not try to shore that up. Jones is a neat guy in occasionally, but he's not who you want out there covering the slot.

Cortland was a pro bowl corner at one time. It worries me that his play regressed even behind that Rams DL, but let's let this play out I guess.

 

It's more than that, he's pretty much always getting into it after the whistle with a few obvious dirty hits mixed in. Maybe he's grown up maybe he's not the guy that got cut by two needy secondaries in 2 offseasons.

More than likely we just went with the best workout amongst the sad group of vets available in late November and hope he gets the calls down fast.

 

Hopefully TD, Luke, Allen, and Peanut can keep his dumbass in check.

 

If he gets flags, they could kill him later but we'd still be down 15 yards, automatic 1st, whatever.

But there is no doubt Jones is a large liabiity.
