Nick Fairley becoming a solid pickup

Wait, do you guys mean that we actually hit on a free agent this side of 2010?

Flat out bad? No, good in some spots but bad in most.

Pass rush, he hasn't brought anything to the table. If we are going to allow lackluster performance than why not put a guy with upside on the field (Edabali)? I feel the same way about JL and Robertson.

Nick is a load. He does things that might not show up in the books.
His disruption in the middle has/can/will make some other things happen for us.
I'm just glad somebody showed up to play some ball.
Maybe the rest will catch fire.
Somebody rub him up against Cam - see if he catches fire.

Less is more? Alrighty, then...

Should Nick Fairley maintain his level of play, snaps et al he should finish with 60 Tackles (6 Tackles for Loss) and 10 quarterback sacks...

Just wait until Rankins returns in a few weeks.
You'll see our outside guys reap the rewards of the inside pass rush.

Preach Brother!

Its really tough playing QB if the pocket collapses around you and you have nowhere to step up.

Nick Fairley is really really motivated. I hope it continues after he gets his next contract.
