You and the rest of the crew better not start that **** this season man
 
You don't lose two of the most dominant interior defensive lineman in the league and get better. Do you trust Juke Mode Bell to run behind that patch adams offensive line that we're already seeing flare up? Do you trust Juke Mode Bell period? What the hell is going to happen at RT without LaAdrian Waddle? Plus you might have moved from No. 23 back to No. 28 in April's draft for two fifth-round picks and a backup, named Manny Ramirez, if Laken Tomlinson wins the left guard battle. Just read Ziggy Ansah just got past Riley Reiff for the first time since camp started....

Nah this year is not fit for the #YearOfTheCat. Those great Lion team from the Jim Schwartz days checked in, said they're not walking through that door. To the cellar you go, don't trip over Mike McMahon on your way down.

Defense will be more than straight...Suh was a big loss but not devastating. He wasn't the only reason the defense was ranked so high last year. We still pretty stacked and we still not letting NOBODY run it on us. Tulloch coming back too..I wish we would have addressed the secondary more but D Slay been popping big **** like he bout to be Revis outchea...I'm only slightly worried about the offense, specifically the line. But moves were made so they should be a lot better protecting Stafford. If the line plays more like they did in 2013 then it's about to be blowouts galore. It's no reason we shouldn't average 30 pts a game.
 
Nick Fairley played 7.5 games last year the defense didn't miss a beat in his absence.

Blows my mind people keep bringing him up as if he's some big loss.

In his first year sliding into Corey Williams spot he was an elite pass rusher and run blocker for a very short period of time. Then he missed last three games with an injury of some kind.

Worse the following year, 2013, at stopping the run - somewhat better at pass rushing but just minor tweaks and more glaring was that his rush D regressed.

Came into camp this time last year overweight, dropped to "second-team defense" in the preseason as a punishment or something petty like that. But Fairley last year was the 2012 version of Fairley, probably the 5-10 range of interior lineman if not better than that. Peaked Week 6 v MIN and Week 7 v NO but then he had the knee injury happen in the Week 8 game and he was lost for the season.

Only 27, tons of upside but just struggling with consistency right now. But he's proven in two half-season long stretches that he can be elite, and in the season he didn't - the season people criticize him for inconsistencies - yeah, he wasn't elite but he wasn't bad. Just a bad year relative to the expectations - but just a so-so season to go along with two half-season stretches of elite play is something you take the chance on if you're the Rams for only $5 million.

Stupid of the Lions to mess around trying to motivate him anyway, he'll be fine. Now the Lions? They just let the 2010 No. 2 pick and 2011 No. 13 pick walk for nothing at 27- and 28-years-old. J.J. Redick called losing DeAndre a disaster offseason, y'all just lost two of the 10 best interior DL in the league. That's absolutely going to affect your team's chances and season outlook.

It affects everything other defensive lineman mainly ends were getting on themselves for a pass rush, because they had benefitted from the double teams opposing offensive linemen were getting on Suh/focus paid to Suh at ALL times and Fairley sometimes. and furthermore, do y'all not realize how easy it was being a part of the Lions secondary last year with Suh and Fairley literally collasping underline that, collapsing, the pocket the majority of snaps on every set of downs? I will of course take S4L's action and any one else who can't see that's betting propositions.

Now the Rams have the best four-man DL combination in the league probably: Nick Fairley - Aaron Donald - Robert Quinn - Chris Long. Brockers a starter. Buffalo's the only one who might offer them competition.

Anyone that thinks Nick Fairley is an top ten interior d lineman in the NFL is an idiot

There is a reason he got a one year deal.

Suh was a beast but it's not like Ngata is some bum

If you left that out in that long winded pile of **** you just typed

[reads that]

We can agree that it's a good thing he's gone since you didn't even know your own player.

Oh and the 'reason' you can't or won't or aren't capable of talking about doesn't have anything to do with Fairley as a player.

There is literally nothing objective or fact based that suggests Nick Fairley is a top ten interior lineman.


He was the definition of inconsistency

For every good game he had he another one where he was invisible
 
Again, not responding to somebody that thinks his contract was due to anything on the field. It's just hilarious.

Its hilarious you think an arrest in 2012 dramatically impacted the free agency of a "top ten" interior linemen in 2015.

Do you need me to site other players that are legitimately top ten players at their position that had off the field problems and still got more years and money than Nick Fairley?
 
You're so out of the loop that you can't even pinpoint what I'm making a reference too tho :rofl: Sorry I'm talking about an arrest in 2012? What? :rofl: So fun. YOU'RE SO FUN.

I don't know what you talking about either, enlighten us please[emoji]128064[/emoji]...Fairly was outta shape his whole time here
 
Out of shape and teams are concerned about his knee long term. His $5 million contract has little to do with him when he's on the field at full health AND in-shape... but he's often not, so that's where the consistency problems come in because his game is visibly affected by those factors.

He's shown on two occasions (middle of 2012 and first eight of last year) for about an eight-game span in each that he can be dominant, so you really think he's going to his whole career without somebody crossing paths with him that won't be able to lock those factors down that bring about his inconsistencies (the one in his control, the type of shape he's each year from Aug-Jan w/o exception) down? It's not like this dude has Aldon Smith or Sheldon Richardson trouble off the field... he'll eventually get out of his own way with minor problems that somebody with the Rams or with his new team in 2016 will be able to corral and bring in. That's a minor roadblock to what will be a major payoff.

Its football, teams surprise every year. You can't write off almost any NFL team.

With that being said, the Bears are horrible.
