    Can't believe Finnegan is dissin' on Hasselbeck already. What a punk. If he was special like Revis or Asomugha it's acceptable, but he's just an average CB with a huge ego.

    Cortland Finnegan openly questions whether Hasselbeck fits the Titans
    Posted by Mike Florio on July 27, 2011, 7:33 PM EDT

    Getty ImagesThe Tennessee Titans made a big splash in the free-agent market on Wednesday morning, agreeing to terms with quarterback Matt Hasselbeck. In theory, the arrival of the cagey veteran should help stabilize a somewhat dysfunctional roster.

    In theory.

    Cornerback Cortland Finnegan openly questioned the manner in which Hasselbeck fits with the franchise during an interview with 104.5 the Zone.

    “He throws the ball with good checkdowns, good intermediate passing game,” Finnegan said, via Music City Miracles. “That’s a West Coast offense they run, he throws the ball quick. I don’t fear his deep ball. Don’t get me wrong, he’s great at what he’s done. Pro Bowls, All Pros, even playing in the Super Bowl, but for what we have going, what direction I want to go and the team wants to go, I don’t know if he fits what we need, but I’m not the G.M., I’m not the front office.

    The good news, if there is any, is that Finnegan likes Jake Locker.

    “He’s got all of it, I mean he can make all the throws, and you go back to college, he’s a tough physical kid, doesn’t mind running the football, getting down and dirty, and he works hard,” Finnegan said. “Hard work beats talent. Hands down, man down. That’s something he’s done consistently. The thing I’ve seen thus far is that he’s worked hard, and I can go to battle for someone like that. No matter the interceptions, no matter the growing pains, we can go to work with him.”

    If Finnegan’s comments are representative of more than a handful of the Titans players, Hasselbeck will have to win over the locker room quickly. And if the Titans struggle early, it could be Locker who quickly is thrust into the fray.

    In fairness, he did say that before we signed him. I think the initial article was written on Monday.

    Finnegan is a douchebag. Hasselbeck is a good fit for us, especially a good fit to coach Locker.

    Not a single thing in that article said anything nobody here was already thinking. Nothing disrespectful at all and it was a well spoken assessment of what Finny thought/thinks of our new QB.

    in short, stop reading into things that are not there.

    Hasselback was neighbors with Palmer. Lots of connections between MH and Titans staff.

    My favorite Irish CB probably has better crap too do than read GoTitans all the time so him not knowing this is acceptable.

    Not much wrong with what he said, but I've been wanting us to trade Finnegan for a while now. Let's just get Jonathan Joseph or Eric Wright.

    It's not like he ripped on the guy and called him a bum he raised legitimate questions about his game, I think it's actually a nice thing to see rather than a fake reply like "I love Matty he would fit perfect here without question". I feel like it is being blown out of proportion.
