Not an upgrade to Grimes in coverage ability.

maybe my memory of Finnegan is of his 1st team All Pro season, but is Grimes really superior in coverage?

By PFF's standards, yes. Outside of that, Grimes lead the NFC in completion percentage on passes thrown his way. I think it was at 44%.

Quite honestly I feel better either trying to resign Grimes (Who know's the defense), rather than go after Finnegan (all barring how great of a corner he is), and giving another big name free agent Cornerback big money again. After what has happened with Dunta Robinson, it scares me a little bit.

assuming we change our defense under Nolan, grimes will be learning a new D also...but I see what you're saying

[The Falcon Jedi]

Finnegan is nothing but another Dunta Robinson
