Philadelphia Eagles Defensive End Jason Babin Wants To Run With the Bulls; Is He Crazy?

Found May 31, 2012 on Beyond The Whistle: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Jason Babin,  Andy Reid
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia-eagles
 Despite the tribal tattoos and physical comparisons to a Jersey shore beach-goer, Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Jason Babin is actually a brilliant guy, however his newest idea may have many thinking otherwise.The 2011 Pro Bowler is the same guy that just spent 12 days in Cold Bay, Alaska hunting bear to come home without the bear he wanted.A delayed flight from Alaska to Philadelphia caused him to miss organized team activities (OTA's) last week.To describe him as an extremist would an understatement.For his latest adventure Babin wants to run with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain this July. No, this has nothing to do with Babin's 'bucket list' but more to do with the stamping of his 'figurative man card' as he describes it as a 'rite of passage'. The easy explanation for the nine-year veteran to want to do such a thing is that he is nuts, to say the least. Or he is quite simply a thrill seeker. But there can't be any way the Eagles led by the c...

Via Philly Sports Muse  |  May 31, 2012
Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Jason Babin was a no-show to the team’s OTAs last week. He had planned to be with his teammates, but things don’t always go according to plan when you are in the midst of a grand adventure. Babin was in Alaska on a trip to hunt black bears.

Trent Edwards The Philadelphia Eagles signed former Buffalo Bills quarterback Trent Edwards this offseason, despite the fact that he did not play in the NFL at all in 2011.

Edwards’ performance was...

R.I.P. Jason Babin

Eagles defensive end Jason Babin said he plans to travel to Spain prior to the start of training camp in July to participate in the Running of the Bulls.

It ought to be called running from the bulls.” RIFF...

Encouraged Eagles add depth to defensive line

Via Fox Sports  |  May 31, 2012
The Eagles led the NFL with 50 sacks last year. Then they spent the offseason trying to make their defensive line even better. Take last year's NFL-best group and add rookie Fletcher Cox, a first-round tackle from Mississippi State, second-round pick Vinny Curry, a tackle from Marshall, and then add yet another tackle, Antonio Dixon, who missed all of last year with an injury...

5 Keys to the Philadelphia Eagles’ 2012 Season

Via Philly Sports Nut  |  June 01, 2012
June has rolled around and that makes us all one month closer to the 2012 NFL season. As the Philadelphia Eagles hold OTAs and continue to prep the team for the full-team mini-camp in two weeks, the events of this offseason will no-doubt help the Eagles in 2012. With Andy Reid on the hot seat and Michael Vick knowingly admitting the days for a Super Bowl are numbered, this...

Stop calling it the Eagles "Wide 9"...

Via Eagles Eye  |  May 30, 2012
Yes, there was a morning OTA practice on Wednesday, but it was pretty much closed to media, so we didn't get our Twitter relays from Kenny and Boner. Livefyre "radio" lines were acting a little goofy, too, and Twitter is basically on the same network servers, so who knows, maybe Geoff Mosher and Les Bowen were trying to get through to us but couldn't...?Personnel...

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  May 31, 2012
Eagles coach Andy Reid has continually harped on the benefit for his young team of having a full offseason of field and classroom work this spring compared to last year when a 4 1/2-month lockout prevented rookies from even getting a peek at their playbook until the start of training camp. Yet, one of their most important teachers -- offensive line coach Howard Mudd -- was nowhere...

Eagles QB Michael Vick Takes Exception To Criticism Of Playing Style

Via GridironFans.com  |  June 02, 2012
For all of the offseason speculation about the Eagles' potential, this much has been clear for some time: The team doesn't have a chance unless Michael Vick stays healthy and protects the football. The quarterback's health has been debated and discussed since the middle of last season and will remain a hot topic for months to come as Vick prepares for a new campaign....

Eagles QB Michael Vick Being Sued For Violating Endorsement Deal

Former Eagles FS Brian Dawkins Says Coach Andy Reid Should Be On The Hot Seat

Via GridironFans.com  |  June 01, 2012
We know that Eagles coach Andy Reid is on the perpetual hot seat in Philadelphia, the question posed by Rich Eisen on the tastefully named Rich Eisen Podcast: Should Reid be on the hot seat?
