Jason Babin, Philadelphia Eagle

Roob, in between choruses of "Shiny Happy People"...

If you preferred Ray Edwards, consider this: Since 2006, Edwards has 29 1/2 sacks -- fewer than Juqua Parker. And wants $8 million per year.

I was talking with a co-worker this morning about that...he was swinging from Edwards' sack saying how awesome he is

Half of Edwards sacks last year came in 2 games. 4 sacks in 14 other games doesn't warrant big dollars.

I don't think anyone is excited by this move. Its low risk maybe a solid to high reward. If he matches his production of last year no one will complain.

I think the problem is we all expected the eagles to make some major moves and they haven't.

you do know that numbers arent everything...and that teams actually scout these players and know all that they can and cant do

i dont know enough about edwards to give an opinion on whether he is worth it or not...but film tells you a lot more than an nfl.com game log

theres also things like age and market that factor in

also will the day EVER come where people realize there really isnt a salary cap in the nfl and that money doesnt mean shtein

Edwards is over-rated IMO.  But there is not that much out there in the DE market.  Eagles need to get their secondary and LBs in order and a RT would be a nice addition.  If Kolb is gone, they'll need another QB...maybe VY.  And you could always put VY in at the goalline to help Vick avoid some hits.

Regardless, I'm anxious to see the team on the field this year.

Edwards is at least a starting caliber DE. He may not be the best pass rusher in the league but he excels against the run.

a 26 year old emerging all around very good defensive end would explain his money

VY has the size to play some DE. Texa Tech recruits HS QB's to play DE and LB.

on with Mikey Miss right now

[ice grillin you]

ive never heard him speak

does he have any illness in him

[SD]

He said 'shtein' and Mikey Miss had to scold him

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

So he hunts, has tats, AND cusses?!? BAD ASS ALERT

Edit:
Actually, I may refrain from mocking him for my own safety. This pic was taken today:
Babin's last workout in TN

I don't know how anyone can be mad with this signing.  I liked what I saw him of in limited actions with the Eagles, and last year he really performed on Washburn's tutelage.  He's not guaranteed a lot of money, and at least helps strengthen our DEs.  Maybe it's time to stop it with the Chicken Little - The Sky is falling Bullshtein on day 2 of free agency.

IGY your entire schtick with both the Phillies and the Eagles is that the sky is falling.... constantly bringing up how the Braves or taterskins are making better moves, etc.

You're complaining that they went with the guy that Washburn is comfortable with, rather than Edwards.  Who gives a farg up.  We sured up the defensive end rotation. 

I also don't defend the front office.  I'm pissed they haven't resigned Desean and that Matthews is slotted to be our starting MLB.   However, I'm not going to bitch about this move because I'm mad about the other shtein.
