Nick Fairley Wishes Coach Tracy Rocker Well With the Titans

Just talked to Coach Rock. Congrats to him. The Titans got a great coach but a even better MAN! Can't thank him enough for all he did for meless than a minute ago via ÜberTwitterNick Fairley

Obviously Nick Fairley is a big fan of Coach Rocker, and Fairley's draft profile is one of the best lines on Rocker's resume. Fairley is obviously a very bright mark on Rocker's resume, considering he could be the #1 overall pick in this year's draft, but Rocker also worked with Cowboys DE/OLB Demarcus Ware and Giants DE Osi Umenyiora while at Troy according to Jim Wyatt.

I am really excited about what Rocker is going to bring to this team, and there is a good chance the Titans are going to get him a very high quality player to work with at #8.

At this point I am a lot more excited about the defensive staff than the offensive staff. At least Jerry Gray had some good defenses after I was in high school....

Fairley's tweet continued:

He taught me everything i know, from diving at the backs of people’s knees to spearing QBs in the spine well after they have thrown the ball.

I must put aside my Mallett homerism and say Marcell Dareus would be an even better selection with the 8th pick.

Ya'll don't even know he was a virgin til he was 28, and now...Roll Tide.

Last line there was gold.

I am really excited about Rocker. No one including Rocker will be able to fill Washburn’s shoes in my eyes, but he seems like a good coach and I’m excited to see what he can do for our d-line. It will be interesting to see his take on the DTs. Marks played for him at Auburn if I’m not mistaken, and if Rocker can get production out of the current DTs, then it would be one less hole to fill in the draft.

I think we could, it just depends where we take him.

I have no problem with the Dareus pick- I think it would be great to grab him at 8. If Rocker can come in and believes he can get more out of the DTs we have now though, then we could grab one in later rounds. That said, I think Wash has probably gotten the most out of what we have, and as a result, Dareus or another DT makes perfect sense in round one. I was also hoping he’d get more out of Marks, but he never played for Rocker, so its unlikely he knows how to get the most out of Marks right now.
