Jermichael Finley

[texaspackerbacker]

Far be it from me to criticize Mike McCarthy. I think he has taken the Packers way beyond what anybody has a right to expect considering overall personnel. I'd really like to see him make some use of Finley, though.

Regarding Finley, he came out early, and is very similar in potential and experience to Martellis Bennett of the Cowboys.

Bennett has been a one trick pony for the Cowboys. That big gainer he had tonight seems to be the only play they trust him on--block in a double team with the tackle, then slide to the sideline for a dump off.

Finley, however, has been a no trick pony. I wish the Packers would do something similar--not necessarily the exact same play, although that wouldn't be bad, but teach him one safe play where his athleticism can do something great--similar to Bennett, who has made that play work at least twice so far this season.

he's by far the most talented TE we have.. gotta be something we can get outta him other than personal fouls

[BallHawk]

he's by far the most talented TE we have..

Um......what?

[Pacopete4]

Um......what?

athletically he is by far more talented than Lee or Humphrey

this guy is a freak athlete.. like a vernon davis type

but hes raw

[mission]

he's by far the most fucking retarded TE we have also...

that personal foul... im sorry but a rookie losing his cool in a situation like that right in front of the ref; hitting the guy in the head... come on you moron. what are you gonna do, hurt him? he has a helmet on ... man i was so pissed at him.

if you're in the heat of the battle play in and play out i understand... but when you're a rookie only seeing ST, you dont have much margin for mental errors and that's exactly what that was.

whats funny about that is.. he ripped off one guys helmet and didnt get flagged so he runs back into the group and then gets flagged for something completely different... what an idiot!

he'll really enjoy film come tomorrow

[texaspackerbacker]

I didn't see any second incident after the helmet thing. He got pushed well after the play, reached out and grabbed something as he was going down--that just happened to be the guy's helmet. I call that a clear cut case of the second foul getting penalized.

It could be called a stupid play, but it probably should have been at least offsetting penalties.

films with my old coach on that play ...

"if you ever do anything like that again you will never ever ever ever see the fucking field again. i dont give a fuck what the situation is."

Al Michaels said the same thing. Right after the play when the officials were breaking it up, dude reached across the face of the ref and gave him a closed-fist slap on the side of the helmet. With the the ref right in between them! It was half a second into the replay...

Then dumbass Michaels is all "gee John, I didnt see the penalty there"

You kidding? He punched a guy... lol

Was horrible timing.

No matter what he shouldn't have been there. Get off the damn field when the play is over.

A much more accurate assessment.

[CaliforniaCheez]

As my Dad would say "He's green as grass."

As I say "There is something funny that happen between drafting a great prospect and training camp. They become dumb rookies."

This kind of experience is necessary for his learning.

Jordy Nelson with the catches at the end turning into the field rather than getting out of bounds. Not as dumb but he will learn.

I would like to see some of these guys become solid veterans.

[Zool]

I'm shocked no one has mentioned Jackson going out of bounds short of the first down marker on 4th down. He didn't even turn it up field.

[HarveyWallbangers]

he's by far the most talented TE we have..

My vote would go to Donald Lee.
