Once the cap space is available, I wonder what Nick Fairley we'll get?!?




Oh Nick, you, you

da tackle Kmajor needs, but

you say like da weed,

you say like da weed...

JP, that's cold!

Damn, never realized how much NF resembled Biz Markie.

Do hope for those pulling for this deal, that the contract gets finalized soon and we see a lot of this during Fairley's tenure in a Saints uniform...

Would be good for the team if Payton can keep him on the straight and narrow...

You have to consider that we just signed James Laurnitus (sp), this guy should be giving great insight to the type of player Nick is now.
Also, consider that Greg Williams could also be tapped on the shoulder to spill the beans on Nick... That being said, if we do sign the guy we should still be looking to take a DT in the first few rounds of the draft.

This is what I was thinking when I talk about motivating Fairley. Two of Fairley's best seasons were under Williams and Jim Schwartz, both of whom are a little out there, but great motivators. If you got someone like this on your staff, it may work out. If not, it's a crapshoot with him, IMO.

Taking a DT in the first few rounds remains a sound decision, .

Yeah? Well, you know we don't. Our idea of having a motivating, "out there" type defensive coach is having them out there with another team...

SloMotion

, yeah, I know, I'm just trying to express an opinion in a non-trolling manner and still be somewhat optimistic in a situation that I honestly think has huge potential to be a "fail" ... but who knows? It might work out & if Fairley is going to be the force-to-reckon-with that I think he has yet to be, New Orleans is the second best team I'd like to see this happen at, .

I just hope the Saints don't pay him too much and I'd really like to know the inside scoop as to why the Rams are willing to let him walk. Could it be the 0.5 sack and 18 tackles in 15 games he recorded last season? IDK, he's averaged 2-3 sacks a year/16 tackles a season, but if you take away 2012 & 2013, he's been god-awful for a first round draft pick.

But, like Rez pointed out, he's a big improvement over what the Saints have right now and if Cam Jordan wants a DT, this could be his guy and just might create an environment Fairley will thrive in, #shrug. Combined with a couple of the LB signings and stuff, I'd be pretty happy as a Saints fan because it's starting to look like you just might have a defense to compliment an always potent offense, .

Like I said, I loved this guy coming out of college and hopefully whatever's kept him from reaching his full potential in the pros has been ironed out in DET/STL and he can be one of the top DL we all know he should be, .
