Man we really need for him to come through for us this season. Bennett was one hell of a DL for us and is going to be missed this year. Vinny has always been one of my favorites and provides a lot of TFL with his quickness coming down the line when pinching on run plays. I also think that he puts a lot of pressure on the QB even though he doesn't actually get the sack, at least that's what i remember of him from his Eagle days. But as good as he is, let's face it he's no Bennent. Let's hope Barnette and Jackson are the players that we think that they can be.

Barnett is a player. Now I can't say post injury what he will be but he is pretty young, maybe 25, and has some quality playing time under his belt. I don't know the stats but I think his were as good as any of our DEs. Just me saying I think he has superstar potential if he wants it. We will see if he does in the fallWait until next year is a terrible philosophy

I'm with you 60. Fans always look for the 2nd, 3rd, year guys to make that leap to show that they are a career player not a flash in the pan. I can't count the number of guys that I had thought would be career guys after a year or two but they fizzle. Usually it is because they don't have the dedication to continue working to perfect their craft or sometimes they like the weed or sometimes they finally have money and like the lifestyle or the posse gets to them or whatever. Those guys wind up selling cars on the used lot. Guys would be much better off following the Dawkins/Jenkins role model for their career; hopefully Barnett (and Clements) is that guyWait until next year is a terrible philosophy

I remember when the great coach George Allen coached and he'd bring in college kids and he would cut them all. A rookie never made his team. Back then there was 15 rounds in the draft and he'd trade most of them for vets and still would have great teams. People thought that he was nuts but he always would reply "the future is now". He almost kept one kid once who he thought was a very good player and kept him until the last cut and told him he was a good player and to keep working at it LOL. Of course another team picked the guy up but that's how he operated."Hey Giants, who's your Daddy?"

Good article on Barnett in the Phillyvoice. Basically said through the first four games last year he was our best DE (and by my recollection he was pretty darn good). If he would have stayed healthy his projections were 10 sacks, 52 tackles, 16TFLs and 28 QB hits. Plus he is pretty darn good at setting the edge on the run.
Very excited to have him back. I think he was on his way to a big jump last year and would be even bigger this year.
Josh Sweat just looked lost to me last year. He has the athleticism but his technique is not good. Hopefully he makes a jump in year two. If he does then our DE situation will be just fine.Were from Philly F in Philly no one likes us we DON'T CARE!

I would love to sit in a coaches meeting-- position coach, coordinator, head coach and listen to the conversation on some of these guys staying or leaving. So and so just doesn't have the work ethic, so and so just doesn't get it, so and so just isn't going beyond practice squad but he is worth keeping for the scout team, so and so is undersized but he beats his guy 90% of the time, etc.Wait until next year is a terrible philosophy
