Cortland Finnegan wants to toughen Nate Washington up

Suspensions, apologies, squawking, and fights: Monday’s Tennessee Titans practice had it all.

ESPN’s Paul Kuharsky passes along an entertaining tale of cornerback Cortland Finnegan and wide receiver Nate Washington yelling at each other for much of practice.

At one point, Washington said that he shows up on gameday and it’s not about Monday through Friday. (Titans fans might disagree.)

One of Finnegan’s responses: “You’re too soft, we need you to toughen up.” (Kuharsky writes Finnegan can be “over the top” with his intensity. Sounds like a good problem.)

In the end, Washington said the team shouted the two sides were just trying to make each other better.

The same can’t be said for tackle David Stewart and defensive end William Hayes. Those two tussled and Stewart wound up ripping Hayes’ helmet off and firing it at him.

Luckily for everyone, Stewart is no Ubaldo Jimenez and misfired.
