Fairley Impressed me


Ricky Spanish

Recommended Posts

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

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.

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.

    • From Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/nutshellsportz.bsky.social/post/3mo3rkrcezs2e  A look at Run Threat Rate across the NFL Run Threat Rate is the percentage of plays where a team either runs the ball or uses play action. This compares each team’s rate when leading or tied versus when trailing to show how much they abandon the run when playing from behind.
    • That's the current dilemma on both parties at the moment. If Ickey comes back too soon, he won't be 100% and his play will suffer. Leading to a potential decrease in his contract. If Ickey is unable to play and sits the entire 2026 season, his contract will still take the same hit since it tells all 32 team that he is not fully recovered. On the Panthers side, I'm sure they would want to keep Ickey if he is fully recovered but he is obviously in a contract year. They don't want to re-sign him to a massive deal since it be too risky and they know if Ickey is able to return to form.  Best case scenario, the Panthers wants to offer Ickey a 1-2 year heavily incentive based prove it deal. However, Ickey would most likely decline the offer and test the market as  another team can come in and offer Ickey a better deal if they are desperate enough for O-line help.
    • They have been giving him a lot of snaps at RT to give TMo some relief in camp. I think that will continue for the time being.
