[QB Eagles]

Matt Stover, Brian Dawkins, Troy Vincent are knee-deep in union political shtein

"I can't speak for Matt Stover and I don't know if there's a primary complaint about Gene's leadership," Dawkins said, "but look at it from this viewpoint, that in any business situation where leadership change is inevitable, there has to be an orderly process.

"Even just speaking as a veteran football player, it would be foolish for the Eagles not to have someone in place to eventually replace me as a safety. (Editor's note: ) I may not be comfortable as far as thinking about that reality but you have to look ahead. It's crazy for us, as a union, not to start a process that can identify a great leader to eventually take over for Gene."

There has been no specific reason cited for the latest move to oust Upshaw. Vincent denied that he was a political force in the movement.

"If you can find one player rep or executive committee member [to] tell you on the record that I was [politicking] behind the scenes in Maui last month, then I'd be shocked and I'd be a liar," said Vincent.

"It's true that Brian Dawkins is a dear friend but you have to let the process take place and Kevin [Mawae] was elected. I think an open and transparent process is what's healthy for the union and that's what happened. I would never compromise the integrity of that process and I would never undermine Gene. I don't like the idea of having to defend myself because I have nothing to defend."

Both Vincent and Dawkins have a talent for the political jargon.
