Finley has done nothing special-are you f'n kidding me? I don't think you're paying proper attention. He was the most improved player on the team last yr bro, and is only going to get better. It's really not that hard to understand, the way the Striker position is utilized/deployed, it lessens the importance of a true SAM LB on this Defense.
There is an argument to be made that Finley is the most important player on our Defense when you look at our scheme. God forbid he gets injured and we would have to go back to a 4-3..Frierson wouldn’t be ready to get thrown into the fire yet especially week 1.
