    Posted by ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky Cortland Finnegan has started out hot with four interceptions in the first five games of the year. But the Titans' budding star cornerback can expect his opportunities to dry up quickly.
    Rick Gosselin of the Dallas Morning News uses Finnegan as an example of how a glass ceiling quickly shows up for a corner putting up pick numbers -- because teams simply stop throwing in his direction.
    "Offensive coordinators and quarterbacks say, 'This guy has 10 interceptions so we're not throwing the ball over there,' " Giants cornerback Sam Madison said. "My second year I had eight interceptions. My third year I had seven, my fourth year five."

    kind of common sense that they won't throw to him as much

    Good article. And this will be helpful, as we'll be free to roll more guys to help Harper and cover TEs.

    they say they'll stop kicking to devin hester but they don't...this is one of those things that is a lot easier said then done..You can't simply not throw to a Randy Moss or Terrell Owens if you have one, teams will take they're chances and QB's will make mistakes..I doubt he loses oppurtunities, but he started out hot and will likely not continue this dominance.

    Does Finnegan always take the #1 WR or does he have a side like Hill/Pacman used to do?
