ANOTHER MILESTONE FOR DAWKINS
Bob Brookover
Safety Brian Dawkins has reached the milestone stage of his career.
In last week's win over the Arizona Cardinals, the Eagles' Pro Bowl safety tied cornerbacks Eric Allen and Bill Bradley for the franchise record for career interceptions with his 34th. Sunday against the New York Giants, he will tie the franchise record for games played.
This will be Dawkins' 180th game with the Eagles, tying him with receiver Harold Carmichael.
"Those things, they do mean a lot to me," Dawkins said. "It's hard to celebrate, because you're still in the midst of a tough season and the midst of your career, so it's really hard to celebrate. But, yeah, those things are huge to me. Many, many, many individuals have come through this organization ... so to know that I will be the one standing to have played the most games for this organization is a huge accomplishment."

- and as long as he wants to play the eagles should give him a contract. even if they limit his snaps. the thought of him in another jersey makes me sick. plus if he is used right he still has plenty left— timm2
- No one will ever come close to Weapon X. Absolutely my favorite player of all time, offense and defense. Dawk is a great inspiration, role model and human being. Love ya Dawk!
- Brian, we will miss you when you decide when it's right for you to go. You are the epitome of what it means to be an Eagle. You are a class act, and I would have been proud to have known you personally. You still have a lot more football in you. When YOU decide you are ready to hang up the jock strap, God speed, brother.— eagles7777
