[QUOTE="Shirobot, post: 18974, member: 314"] As an Eagles fan, the problem with Corey is that he's lazy. I'd be surprised if he does any training during the offseason. Year after year he'd show up into camp overweight and out of shape. His first half of the season would be dismal (not really even worthy of a starting spot, really... at least not on the Eagles), and then he'd light it up in the last few games. In the first 10 games of last season, he had 18 tackles and .5 sacks. In his last four games (he didn't really play in Washington or against Cinci), he had 14 tackles and 5 sacks. At the top of his game, his explosiveness is deadly for the quarterback, but his skills and discipline are limited in stopping the run. At the bottom of his game, he's barely out there. If he got his act together, he'd probably be the best (or at least one of the best) pass rushing DTs in the game, and very good overall. Unfortunately, with 4 years of laziness after a great rookie season, it's unlikely he ever will. He also overvalues himself quite a bit. He turned down what was reportedly a huge contract in Baltimore. He could help in Green Bay, but in my opinion it isn't worth it unless you can get him way cheaper than what he seems to want right now. He will not really be missed in Philadelphia. [/QUOTE]
