    Charlie just said this.
    Was he under coached here?

    I think that rather than tailoring a defense to the player, that babin was in the wrong situation in houston. The titans way of playing defensive suited babins approach to the game, and he became a beast.

    The eagles hired the titans defensive line coach Jim Washburn brought him to the eagles.

    Yes. He had two subpar years and then Kubiak came in. Kubiak wanted to run a 4-3 and quickly discarded him.

    I'm guessing he's juicing. You don't suddenly go from a nobody to a beast at age 30

    Although the extent of how good he can be is truly surprising, I think its no reach saying the defensive coaching during Babin's stay with the Texans was dog****.

    I hate this. Now Charlie probably feels vindicated that he traded our entire draft for this douchebag.

    He couldn't cut it as an outside linebacker, because he's pretty much only good, but damn good, at rushing the qb. Washburn's spread out line favors this. and having one of the best DE's on the other side with a great DT in Jenkins is a big plus also.

    It was bad coaching to play him as an OLB, but look at Fangio now and the way he's using Aldon Smith.

    It isn't like he found success in Philly the first time, or KC, or Seattle. Something changed in Nashville, and now in the wide 9, which I think greatly helps a pass rushing DE, and opposite Trent Cole, he is unstoppable.

    He did lead the Texans in sacks his last year in Houston, as a part time player. Though on that team its like being the best song on Rebecca Black's album.

    The sad thing to me is that McCoy's great season and Babin's great season look like they'll just go to waste.

    The Eagles once got rid of a HOF WR who "all he did was catch Touchdowns." Probably plenty of sour grapes after that went down.

    Focus on winning that awful division... less on what Texan fans think of Jason Babin.

    Put me in the he's on HGH camp.

    You don't go from being a scrub to beating Reggie White's sack record without some expensive ish.

    Maybe it just took him a while to develop? I remember he was sort of a project.

    Win some, lose some.

    Imagine how Cincinnati feels about Jonathan Joseph.
