He was good only for that wide 9 package, but the games I've seen this season he's regressed a lot. That said, Rex could mold him into something I'm sure
He's not your practice squad player. He has a 1/3 of the sacks our D has. So why don't you find another thread to make your useless comments in
Babin would be a good guy to have around for a 4-3 sub package, but he would cost way too much for a part-time role. Some team that can use him in a more full-time capacity will sign this beast before his value goes down enough to where it would be worth it for the Jets to give him a call.
Are you kidding? This is a no-brainer. We have absolutely no pass rush on this team. We need a guy with veteran talent who is a pro bowl DE. We need to make this happen. If our offense can't score, our defense needs to. Adding a legitimate pass rush can help cause turn overs
To start the season I would have loved it but Id rather save the salary for next year. We don't really need a DE but if he wants to play OLB and just rush the passer somewhat cheap next year Id be for it.
Well manish just said the jets wouldn't be putting in a claim for him So there goes any chance of that
The Jets should sign a guy like Babin in the off-season (at a reasonable price) and switch to 4-3 next year anyway. Thomas, Pace and Scott will all be gone. DE Coples, DT Wilkerson, DT Ellis, DE Babin OLB Davis, ILB Harris, OLB in draft
^^^This^^^ 12.5 18 and 5 this year....Still more sacks than anyone on our squad! Babin Interview Video >>HERE<< Doesn't fit? aykm??? Bryan Thomas and Calvin Pace...right... this guy just doesn't fit. [YOUTUBE]E0wJEaF8wbg[/YOUTUBE]
NFL Waiver Wire Order 2012: Teams That Have 1st Shot at Jason Babin BY TIM KEENEY (FEATURED COLUMNIST) ON NOVEMBER 27, 2012 Let the race for Jason Babin begin. In a bit of a shocking development, the struggling—understatement of all the understatements ever—Philadelphia Eagles decided to release the veteran defensive end on Tuesday. One team's trash is about to be another's gold. In what has so far been a disappointing year, Babin has recorded "only" 5.5 sacks. But in 2010, he recorded 12.5, and in a reunion with the Eagles last year, he was absolutely unstoppable, racking up 18.5 quarterback takedowns. That number was not only third in the NFL, but 18th-most for a single season ever. Over his nine-year career, Babin has 53.5 sacks and nine forced fumbles. So, even though he's 32, you can bet teams will be bending over backwards to claim him off waivers. NFL.com's Albert Breer has the official order: Albert Breer ✔ @AlbertBreer RT @RLiuNFL Current NFL claiming priority: 1. KC, 2. JAX, 3. PHI, 4. OAK, 5. CLE, 6. CAR, 7. SD, 8. BUF, 9. TEN, 10. DET, 11. AZ, 12. NYJ The Kansas City Chiefs, who rank 27th in the NFL with just 19 sacks on the season, could certainly use an additional weapon in the pass rush behind Justin Houston and Tamba Hali. But they generally play a 3-4 defense, while Babin is more of a 4-3 defensive end. Don't be surprised if he slips to No. 2, where the Jaguars will almost certainly pounce. Jacksonville not only ranks last in the NFL with 13 sacks and last with a 3.0 sack percentage, but it also plays a 4-3 defense. Babin would be a welcomed addition to a team that currently has no one with more than 2.0 sacks. Still, though, Babin is 32, and the Jags are in rebuild mode. They could easily decide he doesn't fit their future plans. Should that happen, the Raiders, who also boast almost no pass rush, would likely have a strong interest. If Babin slips by Oakland, then it's anyone's guess who will take a chance on him.
Doesn't matter as far as this season goes and he fits in a 4-3 scheme much better but if he was available through waivers he would be worth a look as a 3-4 rush linebacker. Could be someone who could potentially help us next year assuming he can find his pass rushing ability again, cause we all know the Jets need more guys who can sack the QB.
hell yea he is worth it he has 5.5 sacks more then anyone on our roster and it's not even close,Babin had 18 sacks last season , sign this beast but we won't because "This is the best team Rex Ryan has ever seen" And we only sign players like Tebow who the media talks about and produce nothing on the field
Reid knows he is getting fired probably wants to take Babin with him,Babin had more sacks alone last season than our entire team put togther this year so far
