[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 474332"] You're not supposed to talk like that. You're supposed to judge people in black and white. We're all either "winners" or "losers". We're either "the best of the best" or lumped into "everybody else". Oh, heck. Let's nuance the discussion some more. Finley does not take plays off, even though he's not getting the ball much. He does not make business decisions on the field. He's dropped too many balls, but not from shirking contact. He has one of the best work ethics on this team as attested to by McCarthy...at work at 6:30 AM in the off season and training camp. Compare and contrast to our one-year-removed SB winning defense last season...guys taking plays off, one guy who took the whole year off, a secondary that thought they should all be Charles Woodson freelancers, playing for the highlight reel, making business decisions on the field (soft tackling, not pursuing to the ball carrier). We did not draft 6 defenders for nothin', and it's no coincidence the presence of those young guys has sent a message. I felt bad for Matthews and Bishop, who busted their ***** on every play, having to suffer through that mess. Finley's an upright citizen, married the mother of his children, as you noted...what a quaint anachronism! Compare and contrast to some other guys (ex-party boy who'd show up hung over to practice, girlfriend beater, substance abuser). Don't get me wrong...I do like those other guys as football players...it's a nuanced thing. But we sure do wish Finley would shut up. The more I read his quotes, the more it looks to me like he's bipolar. [/QUOTE]
