Lions Feel Rookie DT Nick Fairley's Physical Conditioning Is Good

Found November 12, 2011 on GridironFans.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Nick Fairley,  Leonard Davis
TEAMS: Detroit Lions

Lions defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham believes rookie DT Nick Fairley, bothered by a foot injury at times this season, is fit. "Physical conditioning is really good," Cunningham said. "He has got this guy he is working against every day — I don't know if you heard we signed (ex-Cowboys OG) Leonard Davis. I have coached against Leonard a lot, and he looks like an elephant with ballerina feet. I mean, he is very gifted and he moves his feet really well. Noted Cunningham, "I don't think Leonard knew who No. 98 was because Fairley did a really good job a couple times on him, and that was impressive because Leonard just doesn't go out to practice to be a scout-team guy right now."

Lions can't panic, but could sure use a big play

Via Lions Blog  |  November 13, 2011
The Lions can't panic. They must survive this early storm. Before this drive they were averaging nearly seven yards per play. You'd take that any game. The problem is the two turnovers. They are why the Lions trail 10-0. And now they are in trouble again after a long punt return by Devin

The Lions have butterfingers

Didn't we just talk about Nate Burleson putting the ball on the ground too much? He made a great play, tiptoeing on the sideline, but that turnover is inexcusable. He did not get blasted. He has to hang on to that ball, even though it was a pretty good strip. This is a bad start. The Lions
