5 year deal

brutal

Geowhizzer · July 28, 2011, 09:06:47 AM

Yeah, I have a feeling this won't end well.

PhillyGirl · July 28, 2011, 09:08:29 AM

I'm not saying it's a great deal or anything, but you have to think he's going to be better than what they had/have...and he loves Washburn's system. I dunno, I don't think it's a zesty thing.

AW. FUL.

what system?

hes gonna come off the edge and try to sack the quarterback...you either think hes going to do a good job at that or you dont....i dont

this washburn uber genius shtein and the idea that he can simply put his hand on the shoulder pad of any lineman and they will be come awesome is so overblown

whats hilarious is the eagles ignore their in house rule of not caking off 30+ year olds for once and its for jason farging babin

Washburn got who he was familiar with. He'll never see the last two years out of the deal, and if Washburn had the dude in double digit sacks last year, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on it, for now. Hopefully this is just a sign that they are getting started.

BIG SPLASH

What system? Washburn has a history of taking guys no one has heard of and getting them to produce at a high level. Babin didn't get some lucky coverage sacks all in one game, and if you paid attention, he was markedly better than he had been ever before in his career. What do you attribute that to? It extends past Babin: Haynesworth, Kearse also being examples.

I am not saying Babin is a lock to get double digit sacks, he could completely flame out, what I am saying is that he much more likely to do it than Edwards or whoever else they could have added at DE based on his production under Washburn.

So same D as last season except:
No Bradley (maybe he re-signs but as of right now the LBs are weakened...which I didn't think was possible considering how bad they were last season)
They bring back their 5th DE in the rotation from 2 seasons ago
They're trusting a rookie 2nd round pick who should have gone in the 4th round as their new SS
Have their starting Safety coming off an injury

The only upgrade I'm seeing is at LCB and that's not even a done deal yet.

Babin is getting $17 million guaranteed

SD · July 28, 2011, 09:22:38 AM

I didn't want Edwards either but I would have taken him over Babin. He's younger and more talented.

you clearly believe in d line coaches more than i do...i hope im wrong and washburn is some genius...but my money is on 6-8 sacks....

also if washburn is so awesome then couldnt he do the same thing with the lineman already on the roster....why the need to cake off a 31 year old defensive end that has one year of production in his life....id much rather have him working with someone like cliff avril

I personally liked Babin when he was in Philly before and thought he should have gotten more playing time than what he did...but for some reason McDumbit loved Juqua Parker more.

I'm ok with the deal as long as it is front-loaded and they still have the ability to resign Vick/Jackson and get a vet QB (VY i've heard rumors of) and keep building that defense. A RT would be nice to grab as well.
