  • Washburn named our new DL coach

    Great news IMO. Going from Segrest to perhaps the best DL coach in the business is a great start to reshaping the defensive staff.

    Jim Washburn named Eagles DL Coach

    Per RotoWorld...

    Eagles named Jim Washburn as their new defensive line coach.

    It's an instant impact hire for Philly. Known for getting the absolute most out of linemen such as Tony Brown, Albert Haynesworth, Jason Jones, Dave Ball, and Jason Babin in Tennessee, Washburn is an ideal fit for the Eagles. His history is with a 4-3 scheme similar to Philadelphia's, and Washburn is exceptional at using rotations to maximize strengths. The Birds have plenty of talent in place to field a dominant defensive line.

          I know, what a huge upgrade at an important coaching spot. Maybe now they go get Big Albert!

            I like this move a lot. Graham should really benefit. Now hope they go out and get this guy a new toy to play with.

              Very cool. Now I look for us to add Haynesworth to the picture.

              Haynesworth will like a couple of things.....working for a DLine coach that got the best from him, and.....he gets to Kill Shanny's Redskins twice a year.

                  Really good news here just wonder how Segrest was on Staff as long as he was. The DL will be much improved and I think Trent Cole will benefit most. HIS motor runs full speed all the time, imagine when the other 3 guys alongside him are revved up as well.
                  As per the DC I gotta think Andy's waiting for GB's season to end then offer the job to Trgo. Jauren's already said he'd give Andy a shot if Cleveland (or others) offer him a job. Nice fallback position for Andy with Jauren "on hold" but Trgo's the Guy.

                    I agree j-bird but once Juron gets another offer he's going to put Andy on the spot and ask if he's the guy or not. I don't see him making another team wait while Andy determines if he can get his first choice or not. If Juron thinks he's "a fall back position" as you say, he'll be gone faster than Andy can down a double cheeseburger with the works.

                      nfl.com has an 11-minute piece on Washburn and (now-retired) Colts O-Line coach Howard Mudd.

                            I sure hope that they take a shot with AH. What do they have to lose?

                              Can we afford him? We know that they'll look at this in terms of paying the whole roster, not just one guy.
