dustinwhylee Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Sinclair made a great play on a punt return that had he not made the tackle, the Bill would have taken it to the house.made a few tackles nothing that special on D. I noticed that Sinclair was in good position for his tackles. He wasn't everywhere like Fincher, but Sinclair had good positioning. I remember a couple of plays where the running back was running through a hole the Oline made only to meet Sinclair (at the line of scrimmage).

mudhog Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Umm. Mix hasn't done **** all pre-season. But I'd agree with the rest of your keeper list, just add Finch! I'd agree about Mix but McMullen has looked great IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 I'd agree about Mix but McMullen has looked great IMO. Yea. He's been pretty good. He's borderline to me, but definately the best outta all the backup WRs, not including the rooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurgundyMalaise Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Fincher def has a nose for the ball. He plays with a good energy. I dunno if it's just me, maybe one of y'all can help, but he seems very undersized to me. Not a lotta bulk up top, altough neither does Taylor or Rocky.

turbodiesel#44 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Kid has depth potential. Maybe more. Showing himself well so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabidFan Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 On the play he recovered the fumble....he was the last guy on the wing and didn't force arun....which is what you need to do to prevent a RB getting outside for a big run, luckily Boshetti and the Safety caused a fumble and he was alert in pursuit to get it.....saved his bad play there...still looks way undersized though....Blades is bigger...and Sinclair is huge compared to him...don't know if Fincher could cover a TE sized like Witten.

Oldskool Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Dude is a journeyman Linebacker in this league so far. I'd love for him to catch on and make the team simply for depth. If he get's cut, well... C'est la vie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennSkinsFanhR Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I thought both Fincher and Hamilton had very nice games tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an observation There's a great story about Fincher's college experience out there on the internets. Essentially it said that he plays with a chip on his shoulder because he's always been told that he's too small to play at an elite level. Sound like anybody else on our team?

Bacon Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 If this isn't a joke, you must have some names mixed up.McMullin is a keeper. :applause: Also, Tryon does NOT look good in coverage. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpfan Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Yeah McMullen is definitely giving Mix a run for his money. His Mix still PS eligible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabidFan Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 You seriously wanna go the undersized route with London Fletcher on the team? Thickness and height differ greatly for LBs...Fincher looks like Betts on HGH...he's not as wide as Fletch or even Blades....heck Sean Taylor was bigger.

Idk man. He looks pretty beastly to me. I'll try to take a closer look next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabidFan Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Oh he looks good to me for sure...its probably between him and Sinclair...unless Wallace gets back into the mix with his hand healthy....I welcome all great depth...he just looks small but obviously with Fletch and Blades its about speed, motor, and heart...size isn't the staple.....just odd seeing him smaller then those too in pads.

Area51 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I don't know who Fincher is and unfortunately having no NFL Network, I didn't see the game. But from the gamecenter on NFL.com, it seemed like Ladell Betts was making a lot of plays on defense. I think the coaches should play him on D more often.

tml6157 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Forget Devine, McMullin, Mann, Gant and Toler ... they are all toast ... Mix is a keeper. Also keepers: Sinclair, Richardson, Moore, Rhinehart, Geisinger, Torrence and Tryon. McMullen toast? He had some very nice catches and some nice moves after the catch. What did Mix do at all?

redskins55 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I said the same thing to myself about Fincher. It seems like he is learning from London Fletcher. He looks just like Fletcher out there the way he maneuvers and makes plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Chaos47 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I definately like the way Fincher plays, but he needs to change his number. I believe my man crush thus far is Chad Rhinehart, this guy is going to be a beast. I've seen him roll fools multiple times and plays great at guard and tackle. All I have to say is the FO has been on point finding talent our young guys have looked tough during the first 2 games. Its to bad we can only keep 53.

c4man5282 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Fincher is listed at 6'1" 238lbs. Rocky is listed at 6'2" 238lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chump Bailey Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I like him so far too and lord knows we could use some help at LB. He was a 3rd round pick of the Saints in 2005 and pretty highly regarded coming out of UConn it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
