So you see him as a 3-4 DE? Because that's pretty much the exact opposite of what he was doing in Philly. He could carve out a niche as a pass rusher on passing downs, but I don't think that's near enough to get us into the playoff hunt, so, yeah, I don't see the point.

Um, what?

Of course Reid will be fired. Why would this have any impact on Reid's status?

Isn't that exactly what I said?

Of course it's not enough for a playoff run. Unless we sign the patriots O line and the entire 49ers defense we're not making the playoffs, but he could be an upgrade at pass rusher for us, of course he would have to be willing to be a situational player and be a 3-4 D End which is a big IF

To what end? You don't take on a one-dimensional player in his mid-30s like Babin when you're not looking to make a playoff run.

He was a complete bust in Houston he has had two good years 12.5 with the Titans & 18 sacks last year.

Despite all that I still take him in a rotation over Butler for the rest of the year. Most years he has gotten 4-5 sacks and this year he has 5.5 before his release.

He was vocal in the locker room about his teammates mistakes and is a one trick pony. He would not work here.

I believe the Lions use the Wide so that could be a fit.

he played in a 3-4 under Capers so he is not a stranger to the 3-4 defense

Hell yes. Guy is better than Poppinga or Guyton. Cowboys need to save their season and adding another catalytic player only makes sense. Especially if the D is not blitzing and just rushing 3 or 4. Might as well rush the best 3 or 4 you got.

Babin is better than every pass rusher on the Cowboys roster not named Ware. This is a no brainer Jerry. It also gives the Cowboys some options at year end with Spencer.

If Wade and the Giants can figure a way to get their best pass rushers in a game together then why can't Rob Ryan?

I'd rather go with youth. If we draft a little better we can get someone better than Babin.

Yes and no.
1. Brandon Magee will beat out Ernie Sims for the backup WILL/MO roster spot.

2. Ron Leary will start at right guard over Bernadeau.

3. Joseph Randle, Terrance Williams and Gavin Escobar will have more combined TD's than DeMarco Murray, Miles Austin and Jason Witten.

4. Bruce Carter makes the Pro Bowl.

5. The starting OL will be Smith-Livings-Frederick-Leary-Free

He was all over the radio doing 'damage control' last night.

Jumped from one ESPN interview to another and then straight to Sirius/NFL radio. In a span of about ten minutes.

Former Eagle Hugh Douglas said flat out that "this guy quit. Anyone can look at the tape."

He called him out as clearly as anyone could have.

Bashed him for quitting on the coach who took a chance on him and helped him to resurrect his career.

After hearing it, I wouldn't want any part of him.
