In this Sunday's matchup against the 8-6 Denver Broncos, the one person everyone at the Linc will be watching is Eagle legend Brian Dawkins. Weapon X will forever be an Eagle to everyone in Philadelphia and seeing him on the field on the other side will be surreal. B-Dawk is one of the most beloved Philadelphia athletes of all time and I look forward to seeing him at the Linc this Sunday. Although he is in the twilight of his career, you will never be able to replace his leadership and personality in the locker room. He is a type, in the Ray Lewis mold, where he can inspire someone to raise their game to another level. His intensity is unmatched and that is what everyone loved about him, as well as his devastating hits (i.e. Alge Crumpler in the 2004 NFC Championship Game). Attached is a link to Bob Brookover's piece from the Inquirer where he talks about how hard it will be to replace the Wolverine.
