i said the end of last season, and the beginning of this season dawks approaching the end of his career and i got blasted out of the water every time.  who cares how long his contract is? if the man can't play anymore he can't play.  he looks like garbage alot of the time.  i can't count how many times in the last two years he's been punked right before a TD. the stats are meaningless just watch his play.  i dont want to see him go but its fairly obvious that the time is approaching.  unless he makes an adjustment for next year i think he's gone at the end of next season.

You've said a lot of dumb things on this board before, but this one takes the cake.

was simply stating that people are bringing up the length of his contract like that means something in the nfl.  if he's too slow and old to keep on the team then he'll be cut. doesn't matter who he is.  i didn't say it was this year.. or even next year but probably at the end of next year. again.. if he can't play he can't play.    now get off his man package.  if you refuse to see he's getting older then thats your problem. some of us live in reality.

takes the cake.  quite original.. homer.

I'm a homer because I think Dawkins can still play? Ok.  ::)

I don't think he's playing as well as he has, of course not. Although his stats show that he is still playing well.

I do think that there a few things that are contributing to his play this year. One being the zesty defense in front of him, another being the scheme that JJ seems to wants to see more turnovers and its affected his play going for that instead of the wrap.

I'm as big a fan of Dawkins as anyone here but if I have to be honest, he's definitely fallen off this year.

Not a whopping amount, but enough to notice.

Still, even at a slightly diminished skill level, he's still one of the best in the NFL.  Like Jay said, he better fricken be here for a long time.  He's the heart and soul of that defense, and without him, the Eagles would be much worse for it.

obviously he can still play or he wouldn't be out there.  he's still better then another safety we have that will go un named.  after next season though i'd say he's officially "old".  and again what i was stating before, if the man can't play he can't play. no contract, or resume, or stat sheet, is going to keep him on this team.  at least i hope not.  i dont want blaine bishop and roy williams back there.  i actually agree with some of what you say, oddly enough.  next time you feel like trying to make me look idiotic, you can take the extra couple of second and clarify what you mean.  bolding one sentence out of a quote hardly does the job.

Bottom line, this year has shown that a bad overall defensive performance, week in and week out expose alot of each individual defensive player's weakness or flaw...

Last year, Lito seemed like he didn't suck as much. This year, he should have been shot in the mouth.

I think the same is happening to Dawk according to this thread....but he does lose out alot...where I end up 'forgiving him' for getting beat only because he's Darth Dawkins...I seem to yell at everyone else and wish death on them...'cept for Dawk.

Lewis, Dawk, Shep, Brown in some instances, the invisible linebackers, Jevon-no-show, etc...everyone has suffered by our general zesty performances this season. He's still top 5.

Im the biggest Dawk fan out there and he hasnt been as good as some years past, but how many guys on the defense can anyone name who are playing as good or better than they have in the past?   Sheldon?    The whole defense stinks like crap this year.   Dawkins at 80% of his peak is still better than most FS's out there.   Another case of you dont know what you have until you lose it.

Even at Dawk's current skill level, and maybe subpar season... are there 3 FS's out there better than he is?

No?  Then what the hell are we talking about?!


I agree that we can look at replacements right now... but Dawkins is still up there with the best at what he does.  He's one of the last people we need to be looking at when we talk about fixing this defense.
