Wrong again, Stump.
Oregon had like 75 rushing yards in the NC game. LMJ was tackled in the end zone for a safety. Some "big" named Fairley had six tackles, a sack and a forced fumble. Auburn easily rushed for almost 4x as many yards as Oregon as Oregon's undersized DL was blown up all game and Auburn's DL stuffed our run game and harassed Thomas all game. Really, the only play that was there on a consistent basis was the quick and short pass.
Bair was out of position in play after play after play. He also struggled against tOSU in the Rose Bowl. How would I know? I had excellent seats for both...did your camera angle catch any of the action away from the ball, because I'm confident Bair was usually nowhere near the ball and he was frequently blown off the line he was supposed to hold. He just didn't have the size...
Oregon needs some size on the DL and considering our 'issues' at MLB, the need for size is even greater.
Stomp, you speak with a lot of authority, but have you even played football or coached? A fellow poster mentions we need size (which is entirely accurate and you can even see who staff are recruiting *hint, size*) and you basically tell him he is wrong with an argument that is based on and resulted in us losing the NC game and part of the reason we lost the first RB. We are losing some big size on the DL this year and need to recruit an anchor or two.
Do you even know that Bair had two tackles (well off the line) in the NC game? That's pretty sad. His performance in the RB was even worse and you can research several articles on Chip Kelly stating that Oregon needed to beef up the DL. But, I'm sure you know more than Chip....
Bair is NOT playing on Sunday, as you claim. He is on a practice squad and had to convert to DE.
