[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 471256, member: 2232"] This was true again Wednesday, when Finley expressed his frustration with all the double-team coverages he's faced this season. "Me and my wife just sit down and vent every day," Finley said. "I'm like, 'Why are they double-teaming me? Double [Jordy Nelson]! Double-team him.' So it still gets to me." This hasn't been the breakout season Finley hoped for after signing a two-year, $15 million contract with Green Bay in the offseason. In seven games, he has 26 catches for 241 yards with one touchdown. His six dropped passes on 32 catchable balls once again has him at the wrong end of the drop rate category, topping the list among NFL tight ends, just as he did last season. But with Finley's 6-foot-5 frame and elite athleticism, he still presents enough of a threat that opposing defenses have continued giving him extra attention. "It chaps me right after the game, but then I go home, watch the game film, the [TV] copy, I see I got triple-teamed, two or three guys on me, so that simmers me down a little," Finley said. Finley has played the past two games despite dislocating the AC joint in his right shoulder. Coach Mike McCarthy complimented him last week for playing through the pain, though it has limited Finley's snaps significantly. In the two games since the injury, Finley has a total of four catches for 43 yards and wants to contribute more. "I need to touch the rock," Finley said. "If you don't touch it, it'll leave you."
