What I will say is that I hope we can at least cover up the loss with McDaniel, and SR putting together something close to what we saw from Nick. So can we overcome it, sure, is it beneficial we lost NF for the year, no.

I don't think the article or anyone is saying that it is beneficial as a whole to have lost Fairley. It is, however, most likely to be beneficial in the quicker development of Rankins and the other young DT's. Finding a silver lining in a cloud is not the same thing as totally ignoring the cloud. We lost Fairley and there is nothing that can be done about that fact. Why not look for any positive affects of the situation to build upon?
