He stinks.

Sucks vs the run,overrated as a passrusher and questionable character to go along with that package.

And he managed to piss off the eagles fans who were rather "upset" with that ****ty ass team. Nevermind his offseason running with the bulls ideas.

Big surprise seeing him gone.

Yes, I have a lot of time on my hands and have nothing better to do. Seriously, occassional lurker who just assumed that everyone on this board knows that any Wiki reference has an implicit FWIW to go along with it.

From what I can gather, Babin has been succesful as a "wide 9" defensive end where he is more or less pinning his ears back and rushing the passer constantly and has thrived particularly under Jim Washburn at Tennessee and then Philadelphia.

BB made use of Mark Anderson last year and was regarded as a speed rusher prior to his arrival in New England. Babin has had calf injuries this year but has 3 sacks in his last 3 games. An expensive specialist but could bring some much needed heat on the QB, even more so if Chandler Jones is out for an extended period of time.

It doesn't appear that Jones is going to miss much time, as he was seen in the locker room yesterday without any limp etc. It may have just been due to the short week/turnaround etc.

I just don't see the waiver wire priority list favoring the NEP in this instance, as someone else will almost surely snatch him up.

Okay. Sorry, I had (erroneously) pegged you as a one-off troll...my apologies.

Dont underestimate the allure of a ring, winning week after week, not losing week after week and even just belonging to a team with its act together... especially to a vet.

Since I believe both Dillon and Moss were acquired by trade, I don't think either of them chose the Patriots. I do see your larger point, however.

Dillon and Moss were "consulted" before their respective trades (redo your deal or be cut). So, they did chose....Play for the Pats or be unemployed

If he is healthy, wants to give 100%, can fit in scheme and locker room wise, I have no issue with Babin being on this roster and cutting a lesser player.

Would not be surprised if HOU picks him up as their D has had a tough go of it lately.

No, theyre and cutting/benching to see what they have in younger players by giving them playing time before the total house cleaning.

Reid will be fired, Lurie said 8 - 8 would not be acceptable and the Eagles stand today at 3 - 8. The Eagles have already fired two Execs from the front office prior the Thanksgiving.
