Doesn’t look as brutal as some others but to stop the bus dead in his tracks and make him go backwards is pretty incredible. 

There weren't many Linebackers that could do that to The Bus. Dawkins could do that playing as a safety.

Here's the Dawkplex

Damn I miss watching that dude play.  Let’s hope he mentors Wallace and helps him become even half the player that he was. 

 

 

 

 

I can do this all day

That was fantastic, and the Eagles were WAY up in that game, but Dawk's intensity didn't drop at all.  Good stuff.  

Seth Joyner has a memorable tackle against Dave Meggett. He ran him backwards about 5 yards, then slammed his head against the turf. I wish I could find it.

Clyde Simmons intentionally separating quarterback’s shoulders also deserves a place on this thread.

One of his most underrated plays. You simply did not stop the bus like that. 

There was a hit Anthony Toney put on Jack Del Rio where he knocked him silly. I never could find it again. 

Doubt there's video of it floating around

BUT

Tim Hauk in 2000 vs. possibly the Saints somewhat early in the season

He made Dawkins look like a little girl with that hit

I mentioned that. He decked Joe Horn pretty hard. I was trying to find a clip, but no luck.

🤣 LOL

 

 

Willie T's highlights

 

I can't find it but there was a Vick style hit by Dawkins at the goal line on Amani Toomer. Not just Ike Hilliard. Thought it was his most vicious.

I was on the phone when this hit happened and I screamed so loud.  The person on the other end was like " what the fu** are you yelling at?".

Yeah.  No one really uses that term.  Lame 

Right, only people from Philly get that one

Does any real Philly fan still call them the Iggle's?  I thought that was kind of a lame overdone outsiders impression of the Philly accent.  Like anytime you talk to one of those people about cheese steaks they always mention Pat's or Geno's and have to say wiz wit.....  Like we get it.  Move on.  

Still?  That's how people from the area pronounce it.   I remember the first time I saw that was when the Eagles were in the SB with Vermeil and yes it was the out of town press who described it in an article.  I never realized that's how I pronounced it until then.

Seems like you feel it is some sort of put down.  I choose to embrace it.

I do on occasion in an ironic kind of way.

Miracle at the New Meadowlands. Everybody remembers DJax scoring on the punt return, but you might not remember Avant lays out DeOssie at midfield to spring him loose.

An accent is lame?  Maybe it isn't a nice accent but it is what it is.

I've always wondered if that block really was needed or if DJax just scores anyway.  No matter, excellent block.

Never said that.  Spelling it that way is kinda lame.  Just saying.  

Ahh I see.  Ok, I disagree but whatever.  To each his own.
