Fairley Impressed me

[Ricky Spanish]

I would not be horribly upset if we drafted him.

Reminds me of Sapp.

I know it's just one game, but he made plays all game and did it against one of the best offenses in the league. more power to him.

[Fox007]

It's not just one game, it is just the one time most people have watched him.

If you watch much college you would already know and be impressed with him.

Oregon is a top offense in the Pac 10, the place where they play 0 defense.

[Wanted Panthers QB]

Kid is big and nasty - just what we need to anchor our D-line. Not sure if he's #1 worthy, but he looked awfully good all season, especially tonight against a tough team.

Heck, holding #21 to only 49 yards is a big top D-effort.

[wabball4]

I agree, lets go back to the years when we had the best front 4 in football and watch where it can take you

[jtnc]

He's been pretty hot all Season.

Auburn isn't even top 5 in defense in the SEC...

What do you think Alabama would have done to Oregon...

I think everyone was impressed with Fairley. This game has showed that he is worthy of the #1 pick. This draft is going to be interesting, do we go Offense or Defense?

To be fair, Auburn didn't exactly gash up Oregon's "non-existant D".

[capfolly]

ha, wouldn't it be a slap in the face if he pulled a Luck and decided to stay in school.

Yea I stated in the other thread that Auburn played a horrible game.

Dropped passes, overthrown passes, dropped INT's.

If the Auburn WRs brought their hands with them today it could have easily been 36+ to 19.

Plus we need to hear more about this injury. Cam was injured during the game...

He was clearly not 100% for most of the 2nd Half.

?????

The only problem I really see with Fairley is that he is a single gap DT, which is pretty much what all of the DT's we have are. Except maybe Neblitt.

However he is a much greater physical specimen compared to the likes of Hayden and Landri and is a must if he comes out and we can't trade down.

[rmoneyg35]

One thing that doesn't impress me with him is that he is considered a dirty player. I was going to look up player comparisons on Nick Fairley and when I went to type in his name the word dirty was the first recommendation after his name. I honestly like having dirty players but they can hurt us with penalties and suspensions. The NFL is very strick on dirty players and JR might decide not to get him based on this.

[Fox007]

Auburn as a whole plays dirty..

Fairley is definitely dirty
