As I said before Shut the hell up and play football and do what is asked of you. In my opinion he is dropping on my list of top TEs.

Ahahah, that was funny. Really. You're dropping him on your TE list because he's talking. He's caused no schism, no altercations, and has been healthy and doing work all off-season. But you drop him because he isn't allowed to speak his own mind. Come on.

Finley can talk when he makes it up to the likes of a Tony G, Antonio Gates, Jason Whitten they do everything that is asked of them and are good at it.
As was stated he isn't very good at blocking and way it sounds he isn't that interested in becoming very good.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Funny you should list Tony G. He has never been a good blocker, in fact I'd say Finley is better than him at blocking.

I agree, he needs to prove himself more before starting to talk sh-t continuously. But it's no reason to think any less of him. If he wants to talk, let him talk. If he doesn't back his smack up during the season, then we can go hang him or something. But as of now, his talking hasn't hurt anyone or anything.

Facts are facts. If the coaches say "your going to block more" Your going to block more, so you better like it.

The thing I don't like is the comment where he says the only thing he really worked on during the offseason is receiving out of the two point stance. You'd think he would work on blocking, but nope only receiving.

Maybe blocking not flashy enough?

I fully agree. He has to work on each aspect he's required to do in a game.

If Finley comes out with his own clothing line, then we need to worry.

Still don't like this.

The talent is there, but there's a lot of maturing left to go.

Not that any of this is a surprise. This has been the knock on Finley long before he got GB.

We haven't had a pass catching tight end like this since Jackie Harris, unless you count Keith Jackson, but he was old. Why risk the guy to injury blocking when you have Lee and Havnor to do that? This guy cannot be defended one on one, and with the rest of the arsenal we have, D-coordinators are going to have nightmares gameplanning.

If Finley doesn't want to block all the time, I really don't blame him. Did anyone ever make Deion tackle?
