:patrice: He is young- seems like he fits a 1 gap scheme better than a 34 front-he is oft injured but being in a rotation may help...I can see the upside here :jbhmm:
He was a 4th round pick is all I know. They could have done anything here and I'd be fine with it.

I think treyvon will beat him out though

I highly doubt it- he doesnt want a 3rd down role, he wants more snaps

Hmmm really, i thought he had that role and with obvious passing downs these past two years.

I read somewhere that he said on a podcast that he was going to retire if the Eagles drafted or signed someone to take that role. Like he told Howie to prepare the team like he wouldnt be back but he felt good enough to play one more year

He left NE because he wanted to get more snaps, he comes here and after the first year he wasnt in a rush to commit to year two. The talk was he wanted more snaps and as philly drafts more DE how many snaps, even on third downs will he really see?
