About Not Being Provoked By Cortland Finnegan Before He Let Cortland Finnegan Provoke Him

Samer Kalaf

The Redskins might have had a chance to tie or even beat the Rams had receiver Josh Morgan not drawn a penalty by throwing a football at Cortland Finnegan toward the end of the game. Morgan should have known better, of course. But he also should have taken his own advice.

Bill Barnwell of Grantland points out that Mark Maske of the Washington Post had listed some keys to stopping Finnegan earlier in the week. And which Redskins player was interviewed for input on Finnegan? Morgan, naturally. Here's what he had to say about Finnegan:

You don't want to be the second guy because the second guy is going to get caught," Morgan said. "He's going to come at you and he's going to be the first, second and third guy. You've got to remind yourself not to be that fourth and fifth guy, and throw your hands up and walk back to the huddle.

Oh, Josh Morgan. If only you had listened to yourself. You could have been a player with a decent five-catch game instead of this guy.

Full quote

“He’s the ultimate competitor, a great competitor,” Redskins wide receiver Josh Morgansaid. “He’s one of those guys that plays—you know how they say play to the whistle? He’s one of those guys that plays until you walk back to the huddle…He’s just got a little extracurricular with him, you know.”

How you stop him: The key, according to Morgan, is to play your own game and not allow Finnegan to get to you.

“He pretty much tries everybody at least once or twice a game to see how you respond back to him, see how you react to him,” Morgan said. “And then he just can go out and be the football player that he is. A lot of people respect the football player. I definitely respect the football player he is. Some of the extra stuff, he can cut out.”

Retaliating, Morgan said, could result in a costly penalty.

“You don’t want to be the second guy because the second guy is going to get caught,” Morgan said. “He’s going to come at you and he’s going to be the first, second and third guy. You’ve got to remind yourself not to be that fourth and fifth guy, and throw your hands up and walk back to the huddle.”
