Falc_Fan_Since_Six Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I know we are only two games into the season but why aren't we seeing Finneran in as a third down reciever. He used to be pretty good at that role. Was he even active yesterday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBurgFalconFan Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I agree. He was a key 3rd down receiver for us for a long time, and the new staff just doesn't see it I guess. He is also a big time red zone threat with his height and great hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myticketsrfreein103 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 He's listed as 3rd string on the depth chart. #5 out of six receivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sporkdevil Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Didn't see him yesterday. However, I rarely saw one of our WR's yesterday with a catch. I'm sure he will make it in there, or else he would have been cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFanSince1970 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Finneran needs to be on the field. I guarantee you if they let him play you will all of a sudden see a wide open WR. He is the only one on the team that really knows how to run a route. Check the tapes. Finneran is the slowest skill player on the field but look at the balls he's catching. Open and clean. And don't say it's because they're focused on somebody else. It was the same way when he was a starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconfanatic365 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I saw him on the field both games on running plays lining up outsiide the tight end blocking. Not exactly a glorified role but he was contributing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falc_Fan_Since_Six Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 Finn is no burner for sure but he definitely is a possesion receiver. I would like to see Ryan have him in there on third downs at least. The Fox announcers were gushing over what a great third down receiver Hilliard is and that's when I realized I hadn't seen Finn much.

UNCFalcon Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Good point. We need to utilize Finn, especially in a situation when his veteran leadership might have come in handy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fox announcers were gushing over what a great third down receiver Hilliard is and that's when I realized I hadn't seen Finn much.Didn't they say Hilliard is slow, has bad hands, but produces on 3rd down? I heard something like that and had to laugh. But, I agree, Finn has been Mr. 3rd down in the past, but we also have Douglas and Robinson that were preforming nicely on 3rd. The big issue seems to be no go to 1st down receiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xfactor Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 They should utilize Finn on 3rd downs he has great hands. I would like to see the coaches use his size advantage near the end zone it might have helped last Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
