Jason Babin

Witherspoon was pretty solid all year, he digressed as the year progressed, but the same can be said for the entire team. Cut? No, that is absolute nonsense, who do you want starting?

 

different players who are not proven failures at their position.

 

IDK about that, he's been playing for 8 years in the NFL and with that kind of time, if taken seriously, he might actually be one of the stronger guys playing.

 

I read an article recently (can't remember where) that was talking about how Babin was way better against the run than the Titans could have ever hoped for, and that he actually ranked I think 9th in the NFL in their run stopping DE's for the 2010 season. I'm not sure how they come up with those rankings though.

 

watch the Miami game from 2010 and tell me Babin is anything but terrible against the run. He does not stay home and allows tons of plays in the space he vacates for no gain other than the few steps he takes towards the QB

 

See I was thinking the exact same thing. That's why I was so surprised when reading that article.

 

Man i hope that bum leaves and goes to another team. He will only flourish in a system like ours. He goes anywhere but Phi and he will be a bum once again. He has one good year and instead to being humble and staying loyal to the team that gave him his second shot. He decides he wants to follow the money. To hell with him.

 

Do you really have such hard feelings towards the guy? Put yourself in his shoes. He knows the scheme will now be different in TN. He's got no choice but to follow the money, he will never get this shot again. I don't blame him at all for considering to leave TN so he can be financially set for many many years.

Say he does show us some loyalty and drop his asking price, who's he showing it to? Both Fisher and Washburn are gone, Cecil is gone too. He's only worth something to those 2-3 guys. Us fans don't really want him, at least not bad enough to recommend he gets paid $4M+/yr like he's likely to ask for.

The only way I'll begin to dislike him is if he does get re-signed, and hurts our salary cap (assuming there is one in 2011). He can come back for his same 2010 price but with some years attached. I'd be okay with that, but he's got to play DE and not OLB. I have a feeling Bush will want to toy with him out at OLB, and that will not work.
