So I'm watching the NFL Thursday night football game on Thanksgiving between the New York Giants & Denver Broncos. Sure enough every time the Giants have the ball, their is one player who seems to be in the middle of every play.
Guess who? None other than Eagles throw-off Brian Dawkins. B Dawk continues to have the keen ability to know exactly where to go to make a play. Although I cannot think of a specific game where I think he might have made a difference in turning an L into a W, his abilities are missed as are his leadership skills. It's clear to me that he still has plenty left & I think the Eagles missed out on that this season. Even as I type this, Mark Millen is talking about how he has been all over the field and his off field leadership is a big reason why his team responded so well this week and the Broncos seem to be making easy dispatch of the Giants.
Only time will tell if it will cost the Eagles this season, but I still believe that it is a shame the this Hall-of-Famer will not play his whole career as an Eagle. B-Dawk, you will always be an Eagle in my heart & I plan to wear my #20 jersey to the Linc when the Broncos play the Birds in your honor.
