The entire defense played down this year. hell if we could find a stat on if the defense was on the field more than the offense, that has alot to do with it too. im pretty damn sure these guys were suckig wind all all year long. still its an excuse but once again, this is a team sport. man and i don't know how many times this year we forced a fumble and failed to recover it.

At least half of the blame for the time of ps stat has to be placed on the D. They can't get off the farging field.

Asking Spads if the listed weight is real is like writing in to Pravda to ask if Stalin is really a nice guy in person.

I guess the term "take it for what it's worth" is foreign to you.

Oh, and by the way, he confirmed that it wasn't accurate at 245.

Pravda means Truth.

Since Eckel is ripped often it should be pointed out that he had a good piece on BDawk yesterday

eckel is only ripped when he writes negative pieces on the birds

nope, it's a positive peice, and he still is wrong. the guy is a farging hack.

General_Failure · December 21, 2005, 05:43:22 PM

I'll rip him when he writes something positive about Trotter.

And we should all wish him a happy birthday.

Dawkins has lost a step, but his lost step puts him right in line with most veteran safeties in the league. The only reason you notice it is because of the no pressure wussies on the D-Line. Have some class for Gods sake. He plays out the contract and retires an Eagle.

MadMarchHare · December 22, 2005, 09:09:12 AM

I reiterate - everyone talks about him losing a step. I don't agree with that assessment, and that is supported by the stats MURP dug up. My problem is this bullshtein tackling technique where you hit the guy really hard and don't wrap up. He's gotten burned on it several times. I can't remember which game it was, but he was the last line of defense on a running play, he tried to bring the lumber and didn't knock the guy over. Big run for the TD.

More turnovers is nice, but goddamn it you can't ignore basic fundamentals. JJ's defense was always about preventing the big play. You do that by sound tackling and proper scheme.

Nice assessment, IGY...way to be wrong. Again.

Yea it was Gado, on Green Bay. He totally got run over, but the first 5 defenders on the defense missed also. Play should of never gotten to Dawkins.

MadMarchHare · December 22, 2005, 09:45:28 PM

Ouch, he got run over by a 5'8" guy who couldn't start at Liberty?!

Struth, it's worse than I thought.

General_Failure · December 22, 2005, 11:00:12 PM

But as mussa kinldy pointed out, it's okay that he got punked because everyone else on the defense sucks.

StevieLeftCollege · December 23, 2005, 03:49:19 PM

He may be a bit slower then normal and possibly not as strong as shown by some hits he took this year on a tackle, but he is still clutch.

Maybe this offseason he will take some time off, relax, let the body heal, and learn to adjust his game. He can still play at a high level.
