Can Tyeler Davison be "next man up" for the New Orleans Saints?

K Major · 06-07-2017, 11:49 AM

If Nick Fairly were to miss playing time this season, the Saints may have a capable replacement already on their roster.

The post-draft excitement of Saints fans was dampened a bit by this weekend's news that starting defensive tackle Nick Fairley's career may be threatened due to a heart condition. While the specifics and severity of Fairley's health are still being determined, all of our thoughts and prayers go out to Nick hoping that all goes well.

He was already a starter; and he played quite well I might add...

Are you saying we did not need to resign Nickie and we wasted cap money?

Wasn't out of my bank account and I kind of wish it was...
That would mean I had a really big account.

Backed into a corner...

Here's the thing - No, I didn't like the signing overall, because Fairley has shown his impact is limited with a rep count (and now it seems the reasons why it is thus are more serious since he was extended 90+ days ago); commtting that much money for limited reps, no, I really don't like that ratio of money spent to plays on the field...

However, understood what his impact on the pass rush; second, there were limited options on the free agent market; third, we could not afford to regress with regards to our pass rush...

Loomis and Payton had ignored, neglected the defensive position far too long and the team fell into a bad situation with limited choices and had to make a very expensive quick fix for what has been a historically bad defense...

I would look at it the other way, can Fairley play NT if Davison is out? Fairley is not good on the nose at all.
