I tend to agree with this. I don't see much Babin in Barwin's skillset.

The Eagles signed him to a one-year contract on 8/4. I'm guessing he might not be much more than a camp body for them though...?

I'll grant you the lack of technique. But since he is expected to see the field in pass situations, that's usually when the sacks occur anyway. Six sacks is a safe guesstimate. Heck, Okoye got six sacks as a rookie, so sometimes it might be about just being in the right place at the right time, and being opposite Mario Williams is usually enough to qualify.
