Yup… not to mention Harold Carmichael who’s in you know… the HoF.

Don’t even have to go that far. We’re a few months from Moro Ojomo being considered a better 7th rd pick

Good point - I was thinking along the same lines with Reed Blankenship but he was/is an UDFA.

@LeanMeanGM and other guys who pay attention to the little things:

Do we still have Kyle Phillips on the roster? I just heard his name mentioned and it made me wonder if he could be competing for a PR/KR job here this summer. Could be good competition for Avery Williams.

He was released in November.

Why do you shine a light on them then?

They signed him back, he was on the SB roster (practice squad). After the SB he signed with the Raiders. I’m assuming Eagles just offered a futures deal but Raiders gave him a real contract. He also has the Chip Kelly connection with the Raiders.

Yeah it's like the people who complain about ESP by constantly posting his tweets and links to his articles. I'm sure he's real mad about all that engagement he intentionally farmed. You're really showing him!

FWIW, Jason Babin wasn’t nearly as bad as everyone here makes him out to be.

His personality?  I have no idea.  Sounds like he was a dbag.  As a result of that, after he left there was a concerted (and successful) effort to completely rewrite history and spread information that he sucked here.  Does anyone have any idea how many beloved pure pass rushers we’ve had that were light in the edge-setting and run D department?…that are remembered very fondly?  Everyone said Reddick was the best player on the defense for 2 years.

Babin had 30.5 sacks and 2 probowls in 2 years here.  You know who never did anything remotely close to that?  I’m not going to say it…

BTW, Babin played THREE years in Philly. 2009, 2011 and part of 2012.   BTW, Babin only had 26 sacks here, and only made 1 Pro Bowl here.  You seem to be combining his 2010 in Tennessee with his 2011 here to get your number for him.  And he also never finished his last season here and was cut before the end of that season... landing in Jacksonville in 2012.

You are scouting the stats page again.  Babin gets raked over the coals for a very good reason.  In his first stint, he was fine.  He had a one year prove it deal.  He was nothing spectacular, but he played his role.  He stayed relatively healthy for the first time in a long time, and got another 1 year prove it deal in Tennessee.  There he put up pretty good numbers, including 12.5 sacks for Jim Washburn.   So, when Washburn came here the following year as DL coach, he brought Babin with him.  They played the wide 9 front exclusively, which no DC wanted any part of, and that's when they made the highly questionable move of moving Juan Castillo to DC from OL coach.  And they couldn't stop the run at all.  

Babin put up big numbers... while the Eagles defense sucked.   The Eagles limped to a 4-8 record, before winning 4 straight meaningless games at the end of the year to finish at 0.500.   Washburn's front played selfish football where they were only interested in getting to the QB and left the back 7 high and dry.  They couldn't stop the run to save their season.  And Babin, repeatedly was the guy that opposing offenses would target.  They let him run right up the field past the OT, basically untouched, and then run the ball right to the spot that he'd vacated, many times with the RT there still as a lead blocker having gently persuading him to go on past the play.   The following year it got even worse, the defense became even more full of selfish play and Washburn was fired before the next season ended in December... as was Castillo in October.   The entire team had become a shambles, and Babin was the poster boy for selfish play, which many members of the team exhibited, including the overhyped Nnamdi Asomugha.  It was a train wreck.  And sure, Babin put up nice numbers those two years... the team had nothing to show for it, in part, because of his style of play and selfishness chasing the same stats that you are now using to try to build him up.  He was recognized as a cancer by a coach that was losing the locker room and decided to get him away from the rest of the team because he was just a nightmare.  Right after he was removed, Washburn quickly followed.  Both were absolutely two of the worst additions to this team in the last quarter century and had as much destructive influence as any 2 other individuals have had on this franchise since it was founded.

Yup, Ive lost track of how many posts ive written about what a cancer Jim Washburn was, Juan, or as Wash called him, Juanita, never stood a chance, wash straight up told Juan to leave his front 4 alone and only focus on the back 7, and predictably was a disaster 

Juan was a good coach, people forget he was a defensive player and coached defense before coaching TE and OL but as said he never stood a chance with washburn being the cancer he was .

Most of this is about him being a dbag and a bad teammate and the coach that loved him being an ahole.  Not disputing that.  If those things weren't true, what he did on the field would be remembered differently.

I completely get what they are saying. Accomplishing great things is always going to be cool, but it rarely lives up to the hype that someone gives it in their own head. Not only that something that most people get wrong is that the journey is almost always better than the destination in life. The problem is most people are obsessed with either regretting or celebrating the past and worrying about what will happen in the future that they don't stop to enjoy what's happening in the present moment.

TANK WATCH:

The Flyers are losing to the Stars 0-2 after the first period. They are currently in the 5th spot and have a legit chance of ending up 4 if they close out the season with a lot of losses. Pretty much the worst they could do with some winning down the stretch is fall back to the 8th spot. Considering they were in that 8-10 range a couple of weeks ago they are doing a great job having gone 2-8 over their last 10 games.

That's almost underselling it. There's a reason why he was on 10 teams in 11 seasons or whatever it was. Garbage teammate and garbage person that nobody wanted to be around, including every single coach except for Wash.
