Fairley will NOT bench press

Wow, I don't like the sound of that at all... he certainly didn't seem to be suffering from a shoulder injury when he was swimming around offensive linemen in the nat'l championship game?

This makes me wonder if he's been sitting around eating donuts instead of preparing for the combine.

I'd say it's not good for him either way.

If his injury isn't all that severe, some might question his attitude and/or commitment.

If his injury is indeed severe enough that this is warranted, then execs will start pondering "just how bad is that shoulder?"

Wouldn't necessarily expect him to drop him (especially not if he takes part in Auburn's pro day) but execs take a lot of "mental notes" about this kind of thing.

Anybody remember Sapp putting up 225 only 16 times. He turned out okay.

Teams will want him to lift at some point. He might be trying to improve his reps before pro day. Or private workouts.

Or he might be scared. Or injured.

I think that covers it.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
