World of potential, but will a bad attitude cause him to be more trouble then he is worth?

Would you rate him as the best DT in the draft this year? How does he stack up against the likes of Dareus, Casey, Nevis, Crick, Paea, etc...

Does his draft stock fall because of his play style?

I'll hang up and listen.

I am not sure being overly-agressive is the same as having a bad attitude. He seems to be a pretty good kid off the field.

I see your Ray Lewis and raise you a Pac Man Jones.

We can do this all day. And i never said he would be a bust. Read my post again tard. I'm not attacking Fairley, just asking some questions.

When has Fairley exhibited an attitude problem? He is known as a guy who plays very hard to the whistle and sometimes a little past when caught up in the moment.

Sounds like a Ray Lewis, James Harrison, Hines Ward, type additude. He'll be fine.

Did you not see the little dance he did after the scuffle broke out at the end of the game. Seems like a headcase/attitude problem to me. But I haven't watched all Auburns games this year so, if this is the first time he has done anything like this then forgive my ignorance.

doing the belt signal after causing a on field fight which led to one of your teammates being ejected from the game is the type of things that make NFL scouts cringe.

so every player who celebrates a little excessivelly has an attitude problem? What does that say about the entire 2007 UGA team?

And for the record, no that was not usual behavior for him. He got caught up in the moment and I don't think he realized what happened back at the LOS.

I don't know about talent, but in regards to dirty hits he very well may be the next Haynesworth.

I suppose you are refering to UGA's entire field celebrating in the endzone after the touchdown against UF. And that is a night and day difference in what happened yesterday. Richt was losing his team and wanted his team to show unity. I can understand what he was doing.

Watching Auburn fans try to defend Fairley is stomach churning and disgusting.

Does Fairley like to be slapped in the face?

just to be clear, you're seriously trying to compare Fairley to a player who stomped on someone's head?? Fairley didn't start that fight, UGA was retaliating for Murray's injury which occured after Fairley was blocked into him.

The personal foul call when he speared Murray in the back was 100% legit and was justifiably called.

I've hung out with nick a couple times

He's actually a great guy and doesn't have an attitude problem at all...he just gets caught up in the game and seems to get carried away sometimes

As far as i know, Haynesworth never went "that far" in college. But attitudes can get worse and worse, if left unchecked.

No but Fairley (on his first sack) stayed on top of Murray face to face and you could tell he was jawing for a good 5-10 seconds after the play was over. He speared Murray in the back after the ball had been thrown. That late hit is indefensible. And then he went for Murrays knee at the end of the game. Not in the 2nd Quarter... the fricking end of the game. If I were Murray's offensive line, I would have done the same thing. And all they really did was put 3 bodies on him and when he hit the ground one of the UGA players looked to be doing the same thing fairley did to Murray on the first sack. Then all hell broke loose and Fairley acted like Randy Savage.
