It all made sense but this writer also makes sense.
Jason Babin: Why the Washington Redskins Should Take a Chance on Ex-Eagle | Bleacher Report
Babin was picked up by the Texans to play in the 3-4 and failed, then got picked up by the Eagles, played well and got double digit sacks each year, then got cut and picked up by the Chiefs (I think) and cut again, then the Eagles bring him back and he got hurt last yr and only has single digit sacks this yr. A fan pointed out on the Junkies that Babin is a one trick pony and is not trainable and basically was told to just ... go after the QB. Plus the Eagles ran a 4-3 defense.
BUT.... Haslett has been implimenting more 4-3 to our scheme and it seemed to work better against the Eagles and Cowboys. I think if Babin clears waivers and we can get him on the cheap, then I could see picking him up for 3rd downs when utilizing the 4-3 scheme to rush the QB while keeping the LB's back to stop the run and passes to TE's. This way teams would have to adjust their protection towards him and that would give Kerrigan a better chance at the QB. |
But we are a 3:4 team - dont you know that - this is crazy talk? 4-3 mixed into a game and needing a pass rushing end to get to the QB? - Crazy talk I tell you! / Sarcasm meter turned way up.
