(or anything under 245) they wont cut him due to this titan history and contract... but he can expect to get mashed every single running play by someone he gives up 100# to. He wont have anything left on passing downs.

That was 4 years and 20 injuries ago. If you can squeeze 3 sacks out of him, call it a success. Hey Titanpride-

The DL for the Titans is primarily asked to do one thing and that's to get penentration and disrupt the backfield. The Eagles run a read and react defense. It really wasn't a great fit for Jevon. Will he have a great year? Who knows. If he doesn't get hurt then I'd say there's a very good chance. All I know is that he'll be playing along side Kyle Vanden Bosch and Albert Haynesworth. They were 2 of the primary reasons for the Titans success on Defense last year. They will have to be double teamed. That will leave Kearse will single blocking for most of the year. That combined w/ a very motivated Kearse could spell a very good season. He has been working out w/ the team this entire offseason for the first time in his career. KVB is an extremely hard worker and its bound to rub off on Kearse at least a little. If you like good defensive teams, keep an eye on the Titans this year.

This is because the Titans's scheme is going to fit his style much better than the Eagles scheme. Rumor has it that Jeff Fisher is putting in a new package that calls for his DE to be pancaked by WR's and halfbacks on passing downs. Jevon will surely thrive.

The team has never said one bad thing about him and the fans for the most part enjoyed him and wanted the best for him. It sucks that things didn't work out the way everyone expected it to when he signed, mainly because of injuries. But the way he has constantly bad-mouthed the organization since he was cut just shows how much of a man he isn't. It is a business, Jevon. You weren't producing so you were cut. Just like when you were producing you quickly jumped on a fat contract and left the Titans. I honestly still hope the man can do good things, but he will never move on and produce unless he grows up and gets over this!

He was a good guy and everybody in the organization liked him but there are plenty of young guys that were playing with a higher motor last year.

The guy can't play. He's a one trick pony, and since he's lost a step he wasn't beating anyone to the outside (when he was even healthy enough to play). I'm tired of seeing OTs (and TEs AND RBs) just run him to the outside right past the QB. The Iggles front office had it right this time. Next up on the chopping block Darren Howard and Jerome McDougal. I am life-time Philly fan and was overjoyed when they signed him in 2004…and relieved when they finally cut him. The guy can’t play.

If anything, Jevon should be pissed at himself for underperforming his contract in Philly (admitting it at the start of every season, promising improvement over the previous year). He didn't walk off the field in Philly for 4 years: he limped, hobbled, or was assisted off because he was playing against some of the biggest, stoutest lines in the league who are used to DE's that can use either power or speed (not just speed) to get to the QB. Good luck to you in Tennessee, and thanks for not being an Eagle.

He was never the same player after major injuries, but I would not call him a one year wonder or even a complete bust as a free agent. He was healthy and helping some on a few of the playoff teams in Philly right? He did not get cut because the Eagles gave too much money to a rookie though. Like the case usually is, he got cut because he was due to make "too much" money. Injuries took a huge toll on him, but in his first 3 years he was freak.

Washed-up corners don't make it more than a year or so without getting cut, quarterbacks are relegated to 3rd string duties, linebackers are written farewell letters. Running backs like Dom Davis are one year a star, two years later out of the league. But defensive end is such a premium that there will always be fans (and teams) hoping that this year he'll regain his form. There’s no way he’d continue to get hype if he were at another position.

Greg Lewis was bigger than him. When I saw his picture in the paper, I though the Eagles re-signed Todd Pinkston. He lines up 3 yards from the sidelines, and runs at an angle toward the quarterback, 3o yards into the backfield. He may have a great year....if the quarterbacks of the opposition take 28 step drops. He should STFU until he does something. When he came into camp last year at 210 lbs., he showed how dedicated he was to playing football. Greg Lewis was bigger than him.

No matter how hard he tries he will remain a scrub. You hit the nail on the head, this guy has been living off past success for far too long. Every year that he was in Philadelphia he would not produce and right before training camp the next season he'd come out and say "you're going to see a new Jevon Kearse this season!" Or something to that extent. I just see this as another promise that will go unfulfilled by kearse in 2008. My Prediction for Jevon's 2008 campaign will be very similar to each season he had as an eagle...The first two games he will show flashes of what he used to be when he was a rookie. People will then prematurely think he is getting better. Then after those two or perhaps three games at the most he will quickly fade back to the turd that we all know he is, by getting injured or by just being lazy.

I'd never thought of him as a one-year-wonder. Um, Kearse had 22.5 combined sacks while playing in 32 games in his 2nd & 3rd year too. I’d never thought of him as a one-year-wonder.

Not even a huge hit to remember him by. My memory of him consists of holding my breath while he laid on the turf for a few minutes, only to come back and not make plays - what a shame - for what he could be - he has not amounted to much. I think he had one good game in Philly - MIN monday night game of '04 - other than that - he was stealing Kearse was a complete disappointment in Philly - almost every play I feared that he was going to carried off on a stretcher - I swore up and down that Kearse would have at least a handful of TD’s in his time here - fumble recovery/Int - something - but no.

He is a product of an outstanding rookie season and he has been riding that reputation ever since. While he was in Philly he was never overpowering. He had a few average seasons at best and that doesn't justify the money he was making. If he wants to get "pissed" and play well in a Titans uniform, than good for him. He should have done it when the Eagles FO gave him all of that money, but who am I to judge?.... I fully agree with this story.

However he showed very litte of what he could do during the time period he was here. To have him now say that he will be motivated to prove us wrong now is a crock of shit. We showed him nothing but love and money for 3 years, and he gave us very little back. As a long time Eagles fan and season ticket holder - I was over-joyed that day in March 2004 when he signed.

It's what we do. Invariably, the decisions pan out. Almost every time. They weren't wrong about Michelin Man Corey Simon, and they aren't wrong about the Former Freak, either. Keep rackin' up DUI's, Jevon, that'll show us. As a long time Philly fan, I have often grumbled about the front office moves. It’s what we do. Invariably, the decisions pan out. Almost every time.
