Nick Fairley becoming a solid pickup
 

This guy is on a roll. Hope he can continue his early success. We'll need him to continue to play well if the defense has any chance to improve.

Not really surprised here ... 3 years ... three years Nick has been rated as a top DT. He was no fluke coming out of Auburn. Add to it that he is closer to home and seems more mature now.

I personally hope the Saints re sign this guy in the off season.

Glad to have him here.

He'd be a ton better with Sheldon Rankins and Tyeler Davidson healthy

Rotation, Rotation, Rotation...

...add in Onyemata, keep those horses fresh...

And add Jenkins too. He's up and down for sure but in a rotation he might be more up than down.

I agree Fairley is one of a handful of bright spots.

Re: Nick Fairley becoming a solid pickup
 

Definitely want to keep him around but I'm curious how his next contract would look.

Re: Nick Fairley becoming a solid pickup
 

Nick Fairley is making the kind of impact we hoped for when we signed him. The problem is that it is basically a one year contract and I wonder where the motivation will come from if we sign him to a deal? Will he stay motivated each and every play? I'd be willing to give him a two or three year deal with some heavy incentives to help keep him motivated.

Davison and Onyemata have some serious potential too. This is a good young group that can go places with good coaching...........oh crap. I forgot about Johnson. So much for that theory. :wink:
