The new RB.
What has to have happened between the tape they saw on him that caused them to pay a backup in Pitt starter money, to now make him third string on a team that has a third stringer from last year starting at Center? It isn't like they have had a bunch of time in camp or any pre season action to watch him. I wonder if he is either hurt, or came in out of shape? What else could have happened in the few hours of practice they have actually had?B.J. Finney
Anointed not only as Justin Britt’s successor but a big improvement by some, B.J. Finney hasn’t seamlessly stepped in at center as expected. Instead, the former Steeler is in a tight battle with Pocic to replace Britt. It will hardly be the end of the world if Finney were to lose that competition but he has certainly trended downwards since camp began. News of Finney working with the third-team offense in warmups ahead of the mock game on Saturday was worrisome. Though there is still plenty of time for Finney to make a push and claim the center spot as his own, the start of camp has told us it’s far from his job.
Maybe his first words to PC were, "Damn Sam you have got to let Russ Cook!"Michael K. wrote: ↑Tue Aug 25, 2020 9:59 pmThe new RB.
I agree. I really liked what I saw out of DJ. Not sure I thought he was going to be much more than a 3rd Down back right away, but seems the author of the article thinks he will contribute a lot.
Not going to lie, this one confuses me.

Brian Schottenheimer essentially just confirmed that Mike Iupati will be the #Seahawks starter at LG.
Another possibility is that he was hanging out with Vogey all Spring....Michael K. wrote: ↑Tue Aug 25, 2020 9:59 pmThe new RB.
