ForceEight Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/09/15/ravens-sign-jason-babin/ Kind of surprising, as I thought they'd be content to stay in house, considering that Dumervil is sliding to the other side.

JPPT1974 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Well any help like Elvis is indeed needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsylvester Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I am surprised by this move, surely there was a younger player capable of filling in. Babin has been a draft bust for all intents & purposes. Only two years did he ever "stand out", after being drafted in the first round of the 04 draft. 2010 12.4 sacks, 2011 18 sacks. Other than that, 7.5 in 2013, 2012 he had 5, 2 last year in a full season with the Jets. I would have, and they still might, moved Orre over there and let him rush the passer, he has quickness, power and speed to stunt when needed.....

GrubberRaven Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 It's getting good marks thus far by the press...can't be all that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsylvester Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 It's getting good marks thus far by the press...can't be all that bad. Eh, we shall see. They are mostly just saying he has a high motor, big deal. 20-25 snaps per game max. He is better against the run, though not great, than Freeney is, so I can see them wanting him over Dwight (who is reportedly in great shape just waiting for this exact situation). So glad they at least did not take Phillips. One year vet min deal, nothing to lose.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thundercleetz Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 @sportguyRSR: Along with previous stats, finished 2014 with an overall @PFF grade of +13.5 including +8.2 in run defense and +6.7 in pass rush. #Ravens @FilmstudyRavens: Just finished analysis of new #ravens signee Jason Babin 2014 (4 games) to pe posted soon. I like the move a lot. @RussellStReport @FilmstudyRavens: Babin gives the #Ravens a 2-way player they need to combat the no huddle. All other OLBs are specialists @BMoreBeatdown @BmoreSportsLife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thundercleetz Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Maybe the biggest effect from the Suggs injury: @sportguyRSR: Harbaugh acknowledged Elvis Dumervil will be on the field on first and second downs. #Ravens @FilmstudyRavens: This is really bad news. I hope he means "just for Oakland game". https://t.co/f6tsOIScm3 @FilmstudyRavens: Dumervil has been rejuvenated by reduced snaps and freshness for pass rush. #Ravens pass rush will be even worse. https://t.co/B5QMpJxuAl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
