Was talking about Babin. Okoye is just not very good. _________________

I wouldn't mind Babin over Zombo but I really question the fit more than anything. _________________

| Okoye- wasn't he the highly touted DL a few years back coming out? Seemed like the draft sites were all over him with a high ceiling and so forth. Think he was drafted by AZ. But if memory serves, he also has had an injury filled career. |

I wouldn't mind giving him a try for the rest of the season. Can he kick?  _________________

I think that team gave up on itself, that team is a mess. Babin is leaps and bounds better than any pass rusher that set foot on the field the last two weeks for us. If he clears waivers I bring him in. _________________

I was thinking the same thing. It must really be getting bad in Philly. Didn't somebody say Capers originally drafted him? What condition is Wilson in? _________________

I didn't mean for him to take Wilson's spot. I was just curious if anybody heard a word about Wilson's injury. _________________

Doesn't matter, all those positions feed off each other. If you add Babin you don't have to play either Neal or Worthy on as many 3rd and long snaps, just throw Babin down in a 3 point. If Wilson is out any amount of time our run defense will suck as well as our pass rush because it throws off the balance we have in out DL substitutions. _________________

Babin can't play inside. Babin is a situational pass rusher in a Wide 9 defense only. Thats it. Babin played for Dom Capers, he had two 4 sack season under Capers. Do you think that an older, less explosive Babin would be better the 2nd time around? |
