Does Titans Finnegan ever cover TE's (1 Viewer)

[Mr Anonymous]

I was just curious to hear whether or not the Titans would use Finnegan on the opponents best receiving threat regardless of position or whether he plays one side of the field. Does he follow the #1 WR or might he be given the task of covering Vernon Davis?

I ask because as bad as TEN's pass defense has been and their last place ranking in FF pts to WRs, that was without Finnegan. He was back last week and the Titans only gave up 13.35 WR points. They had been giving up 42 per game. The debate is whose numbers take the hit, Crabtree or Davis? Obviously Finnegan helped shut down MSW last week but the Jags don't have much at TE. Would the Tennessee gameplan be to take out Davis with Finnegan. Hasn't he covered TE's before?

I thinking he covers Crabtree today, he is a shut down guy

And if he does, that could lead to some major disappointment by those expecting big things from Crabtree today. My only hesitation to bench Crabtree is that the Titans will stick Finnegan on VD. It would be very helpful to hear from Tennessee homers on whether or not that is a strategy the Titans have employed in the past. I swear I remember Finnegan being used to shut down Heath Miller or Todd Heap in the past. Admittedly, I could just be imagining that.
