The 2007 Offseason Thread

Dawk's so excited because he can play like a safety and not like a 4th LB this season (hopefully)

[SunMo]

i love that Dawk is excited to teach a young player

Word.  Gaddis needs to get into camp 1st and then right into Dawkins' hip pocket and learn everything he can.  Even if he (probably) won't have the same athleticism... he can at least have that same mentality.

Gaddis needs to get in touch with his inner "idiot-man".

If anyone ever wears #20 for the Eagles again after Dawkins, the front office should napalmed.

settle down...dawk should not have his number retired...hes the best eagle safety ever hes nowhere near the best saftey of all time nor is he a superbowl winner

if you retire dawk then you retire mike quick and seth joyner and eric allen ect...and altho i love many of these guys they are not retired jersey material

and just the mere fact that dawk played with the eagles his whole career and these other guys didnt isnt reason enough to do something as huge as retiring a number

[rjs246]

I hope Jeremy Bloom gets #20.

You'll change your tune when Barksdale retires.

I hope Jeremy Bloom gets #20.

He can't!  He has 11 because it looks like skis!  Get it?  He was a skier, so he wears number ELEVEN!!11

[ice grillin you]

i should add that if dawk makes the hof....which he wont do...then im for retiring the number

same with allen...who i think has a much better and realistic shot

Dawkins def. deserves to have his number retired.

[General_Failure]

At the very least, he's getting a Harley at midfield.

[Rome]

Dawk will have his number retired guaranteed.  Lurie loves him and he's been the heart and soul of that unit for the better part of a decade now.

To quote wolfboy, it's a stone cold mortal lock.

[ice grillin you]

i think youre confusing the eagles honor roll which contains the likes of carmichael....bergey...van brocklin...jaworski...montgomery ect...

vs

actual retired numbers

[Rome]

The Eagles have only retired seven numbers: 15, 40, 44, 60, 70, 92 & 99.

#20 will be the eighth.  Mark it down.

The empty golf club bag is better.

Randall's number is unofficially retired as was Reggie's until 2005. The last to wear #12 was Travis Brown in camp. And like with Reggie's number, Lurie told the equipment guys to not issue it again.

Dawk's will be retired. No one will wear 20 after him. Bet.
