re: Fairley vs. Dareus

Dareus missed the first two games, and then was hampered by a high ankle sprain after the Arkansas game. I don't know what some people expected, but he was never full speed until the last two games. And it showed. Had he been full speed all year, I don't doubt he would have had 10 sacks.

It's a stretch that he would have had 10 sacks, 2 of the best passrushers from 34 End, Shaun Ellis and Justin Smith, have never had a 10 sack season in the NFL.

He probably could have had 8 at best, it's just too difficult to gets a lot of sacks at that position, you aren't working from the edge like other ends.

Anyway, what I meant was, so many were expecting him to be a stat monster who had double digit sacks, which is not his job on the field...
