TAKING CARE OF THEIR OWN In addition to drafting well, the Eagles have done a tremendous job of locking up young talent and key veterans to long-term contracts. The fact that 17 of 22 current starters were either drafted by the Eagles or signed as undrafted free agents, is a testament, not only to the team’s ability to draft well, but also to its loyalty and commitment to continuity. In each of the past 6 seasons, the Eagles have been the best in the league when it comes to signing or extending key contributors. The following chart, which is compiled at the end of each season, shows the number of starters (including kickers and punters), who have been signed/extended to new deals: NUMBER OF STARTERS SIGNED/EXTENDED BY THE END OF THE SEASON 2007 Phi (16) Pit (16) SD (14) Cin (12) Ind (12)

GETTING OFF THE FIELD SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
3RD-DOWN SHUTDOWN
Defensive coordinator Jim Johnson, who is widely considered one of the premier defensive minds in the NFL, has put together a balanced unit that has excelled over the years. Johnson’s ability to bring pressure from anywhere on the field has given opposing offenses all kinds of trouble. Since 2000, his units rank near the top of the NFL in many of the most important defensive categories:
A staple of Jim Johnson’s defense over the years has been its ability to get off the field on 3rd down. In 2008, Johnson continued that success, as the Eagles defense held opponents to a 26.9 coversion pct. in the team’s 9 wins.

WINNING THE BATTLE ON 1ST DOWN Over the years, FS Brian Dawkins has always stressed the importance of winning the battle on 1st down in order to force opponents into 3rd-and-long situations. In 2008, the Eagles were among the league leaders in terms of yards allowed on 1st down. They were especially strong against 1st-down running plays. “If we can win on first and down and get you in third-and-long, then the playbook is open for Jim to call whatever he wants to call,” said Dawkins. “Then, if we don’t make mistakes, the likelihood of us getting off the field is very high.” 2008 TOP DEFENSES ON FIRST DOWN 1ST DOWN RUSHING DEFENSE Team Atts.

The linebackers are doing an excellent job, but it starts with those two guys in the middle. I know we do a rotation in there, but those two individuals are key for this defense; they really are. They’re very much unsung.” Patterson’s 2008 Highlights: • Registered his 1st-career INT on 11/9 vs. NYG • Racked up a career-high 15 tackles on 10/5 vs. Was. Bunkley’s 2008 Highlights: • Picked up his 2nd sack on a goal-line-stand on 11/16 at Cin. • Posted a career-high 11 tackles on 11/9 vs. NYG 2008 Playoff Highlights: • Played a major part in stuffing the Giants on two crucial 4th downs in the 4th qtr. on 1/11/09 at NYG
GETTING OFF THE FIELD DISRUPTIVE DAWK
MIKELL MAKES PLAYS
FS Brian Dawkins is back to his old tricks of disrupting opposing offenses and making game-changing plays. A vocal leader on the field and a quiet-mannered man off of it, he continues to be a force against the run and the pass, and was voted to the NFC Pro Bowl squad for the 7th time in his career. He joined Chuck Bednarik (8) and Reggie White (7) as the only 3 Eagles to earn at least 7 Pro Bowl invitations. CAREER HIGHLIGHTS: • Is one of 4 players in NFL history with at least 30 INTs and 20 sacks
Originally signed as a rookie free agent in 2003, S Quintin Mikell spent most of his career as a reserve safety and special teams demon. After cementing his spot in the starting lineup late in the 2007 campaign, he established himself as one of the NFL’s top playmaking safeties, on his way to becoming named 2nd-team All-Pro by the Associated Press. “I think he’s really one of the better safeties in the league right now,” said head coach Andy Reid. “I know that he doesn’t have all the interception numbers and that but he is a ferocious player. He’s smart. He is good against the run. He’s good against the pass. He makes calls back there, adjustment calls. I just really like the way he plays. Then he jumps in on special teams and does that on top of that.” Mikell’s Career Highlights: • Here is how Mikell has fared in his 28 career starts as a safety:

95 – Victor Abiamiri – DE
2 – David Akers – K
A second round draft choice out of Notre Dame in 2007, Victor Abiamiri (pronounced ahb-ee-ah-MEER-ee) brings his brute strength and athleticism to the defense. After spending the majority of his rookie campaign learning the nuances of Jim Johnson's scheme, Abiamiri provided valuable depth on the defensive line in 2008.
A three-time Pro Bowler and one of the NFL's most reliable kickers over the last nine years, David Akers is the franchise's all-time leader in points (1,041) and field goals (230). Akers is definitely the "rags to riches" story of the Eagles roster, having landed on the waiver wire three times before settling into his current position in Philadelphia. A former waiter and substitute teacher, Akers spent his first season with the Eagles as a long field goal and kickoff specialist behind veteran Norm Johnson before winning the full-time position in 2000.

73 – Shawn Andrews – G/T The Eagles first round draft choice in 2004, Shawn Andrews quickly earned a starting role after an eye-popping performance during the preseason of his rookie campaign, and has since earned two Pro Bowl nods in 2006 and 2007. Said Patriots head coach Bill Belichick of Andrews: "He's the best guard we've played against. You talk about go-to guys—Andrews is a go-to guy. When you need yards, you run behind Andrews. You'll get them." One of the NFL's most dominating and athletic offensive linemen on the field, Andrews is also one of the most unique and jovial personalities in the locker room and community. He inked a seven-year contract extension in 2006 that will keep him in Philadelphia through 2015.

With 100-yd. days vs. StL (9/7), Baskett (2-102), DeSean Jackson (6-106) and Greg Lewis (5-104) combined to make the Eagles the first NFL team with three 100-yd. receivers since Kansas City's WR Derrick Alexander (9-139), TE Tony Gonzalez (9-134), and WR Sylvester Morris (6-102) hit that trifecta in a 49-31 loss at Oak.

The last time three Eagles receivers recorded 100-yards-or-more in the same game was on 12/18/60, when Timmy Brown (5-128), Tommy McDonald (2-116), and Pete Retzlaff (5-110) did so in a 38-28 victory at Was. *According to the Elias Sports Bureau

Head Coach Andy Reid on Baskett’s play: “We’re seeing him go up and the quarterbacks just put the ball up. He’s covered, they put the ball up and he goes and gets the thing. He can about jump out of the house. He’s got a great vertical jump and he’s utilizing that better. He looks to me stronger than what he’s been in the past and he’s got that big body to go with it. He’s playing very well right now.” QB Donovan McNabb on Baskett’s play: “I think Hank has continued to learn and understand that position, and then use his size as an advantage…He has great leaping ability and he uses his body well. Hank has done a wonderful job of being able to get separation, go up for the ball, compete for it, and come down with it, and hopefully that’s something that we can use during the season.” Special Teams Coordinator Rory Segrest on what makes Baskett so valuable on special teams: “I think it’s just his understanding of what [needs] to get done. He’s got the experience now. He understands how to make blocks, how to set up on things, he understands in terms of coverage, he understands returns and where he needs to be on the play; all the different components that go into having that certain level of experience…Obviously, Hank’s going to be one of our special team leaders. He was our production points leader last year. He knows his role and he’s ready to do that.”

S Brian Dawkins on Bradley’s first years as MIKE linebacker: “He really began to own and play with a different aggression and different temperament at that position. I can’t tell you exactly what game that was, but you can definitely tell that there was a point in this season that he owned that position, he owned that aggressiveness, and he owned that mentality. There was a point in this season that you looked at him and, when he called attention to the huddle, you said, ‘You know what? Let me be quiet and listen to Stew because he has something to say.’ That’s a big thing to finally get that type of respect.”

A third round draft choice of the Eagles in 2007, Stewart Bradley called the plays as the Eagles starting MIKE linebacker in only his second season in the league in 2008, finishing 2nd on the team in tackles. With an impressive combination of size and speed, Bradley (6-4, 255) provides a big frame and nose for the ball to the middle of the Eagles defense.

Went 10-43 rushing and 6-44-1TD receiving vs. Pit. (9/21), filling in admirably for an injured Brian Westbrook after he left in the 1st qtr.
Head Coach Andy Reid on what Buckhalter brings to the locker room: “He brings a great spirit to the team, and he’s a good person and a lot of fun to be around. Then he goes out and he’s tough. And every time that he has an opportunity to start, he gets close or above 100 yards…As good a football player as he is, he’s an even better person. He understands his role on this football team and works his tail off and has overcome a lot of things.”
INJURY REPORT: •
Was inactive at NYG (12/7) and vs. Arz. (11/27) with a sprained MCL suffered in the 2nd qtr. at Bal. (11/23)

ADDITIONAL CAREER STATISTICS CAREER HIGHS: Tackles 11 vs. NYG 11/9/08, Sacks 2.0 vs. Det. 9/23/07 (QB Jon Kitna) MILESTONES: First NFL game at Hou. 9/10/06, First start at GB 9/9/07, First sack vs. Det. 9/23/07 (QB Jon Kitna)
87 – Brent Celek – TE A fifth round draft choice in 2007, Brent Celek (pronounced SELL-ick) developed into a strong receiving option in his second season. After a solid rookie campaign in which he made the most of some late-season opportunities, Celek improved to post 318 yards and a touchdown in 2008.
The Eagles first round draft choice in 2006, and 14th selection overall, Brodrick Bunkley is a strong and imposing presence at the defensive tackle position. Bunkley has averaged nearly 80 tackles in his first two seasons as a starter and is a big reason why the Eagles run defense improved to 6th in the NFL over that span (from 26th in 2006), holding their opponents to an average of just 94.0 rushing yards per game.

91 – Chris Clemons – DE
BIRDSEED: •
Married his girlfriend of over five years, Susie Johnsen, on October 6th in Philadelphia. Eagles LB Stewart Bradley was the best man at the ceremony
QUOTES: •
Offensive Coordinator Marty Mornhinweg on Celek: “I think highly of Brent. I think he’s going to be a heck of a player. He already is a fine player… I thought he was playing pretty well last year, and then he’s gotten better both in the pass and run game, and he’ll continue to get better for some time here in the future.”
Dubbed by CBS Sportsline's Clark Judge as "one of the best under-the-radar gets" in free agency, Chris Clemons joined the Eagles after signing a five-year contract on 3/1/08. A speedy defensive end with a penchant for getting to the passer, Clemons tied for the team lead and posted a career-high eight sacks for the Oakland Raiders in 2007, despite being on the field for just 37% of the team's defensive plays. Originally an undrafted free agent signing of Washington in 2003, Clemons finished the 2008 season strong with four sacks in the team’s final nine games.

58 – Trent Cole– DE One of the NFL's budding stars at defensive end, Trent Cole has a team-leading 34.5 sacks through his first four NFL seasons. With an unrelenting assault against both the run and the pass, Cole (103 tackles) teamed with Mike Patterson (114) in 2007 to become the first pair of Eagles defensive linemen to record 100plus tackles in the same season since 1991. "The guy has a nonstop motor," said teammate Brian Dawkins. "He's always going. If you look at the way he pass-rushes, I've never seen somebody get hit in the facemask as much as he does and still be able to get to the quarterback." Cole signed to a lucrative 5-year contract extension in 2006 that will keep him in Philadelphia through 2013.
SEASON HIGHLIGHTS: • • • •
•
•
Nick Cole signed as a rookie free agent with the Eagles in 2006 and has seen action in all 52 regular and postseason contests. A viable option at guard, center, and as a blocking back in certain short-yardage situations, Cole performed well in some lateseason opportunities in 2008, filling in at right guard.

QUOTES: •

Head coach Andy Reid on Cole’s relentless play: “He’s a unique player. You don’t find guys that play every snap the way he does. As coaches, you preach 110 percent and that whole deal, the kid does it every snap. He never, never lets up.” Defensive coordinator Jim Johnson on Cole: “I think he’s still one of the better players, one of the hardest players in the NFL. I’d hate to block Trent Cole. He’s a high-motor guy, people do things on him, but he’s a great effort guy. I’d hate to block him.” Redskins TE Chris Cooley on Trent’s play: “One of my favorite players as a person and least favorite players to go up against is Trent Cole. I hate playing against Trent Cole – he never quits. He goes harder than anyone and he never stops. You can never quit blocking him. He never takes a play off. It seems like when we play the Eagles, I’m up against him ever-other play, so he’s one of my least favorite players to go up against.”
Cole 2008 Game-By-Game
A fourth round draft pick in 2005, Sean Considine is an intelligent and versatile player who possesses an important grasp of the Eagles special teams and defensive schemes.

80 –Kevin Curtis – WR Speedy and sure-handed, Kevin Curtis made an immediate impact in his first year in Philadelphia in 2007. After signing a six-year contract with the club in the 2006 offseason, Curtis went on to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark (1,110) for the first time in his career, while also setting career highs in receptions (77) and touchdowns (8). In fact, Curtis became just the second Eagles wide receiver to tally over 1,000 yards in a single season since head coach Andy Reid took over in 1999. He also became just the fourth wideout in franchise history to record 75-or-more receptions in a season. Originally a third round draft choice of St. Louis in 2003, Curtis missed time in 2008 with an injury suffered in the preseason, but still amassed 33 catches for 390 yards and two touchdowns.

Offensive Coordinator Marty Mornhinweg on what Curtis brings to the lineup: “He’s a heck of a player…I think he’s a little bit underrated there. He’s productive. He’s consistent. You can count on him every play. He’s smart. He does the right thing almost every time. Then, he’s got a little bit of a dynamic in him that creates some explosiveness with the offense.”
INJURY REPORT: •
Rendered inactive at Was. (12/21) with a calf strain suffered vs. Cle. (12/15). Suffered a concussion in the 2nd qtr. at NYG (12/7) and did not return. Had surgery on 8/21 to repair a sports hernia and was rendered inactive for the first 6 games of the season

50 – Tank Daniels – LB
20 – Brian Dawkins – FS
Now in his second stint in Philadelphia, Tank Daniels was claimed off waivers from the New York Giants on 8/31/08, a day after being released as part of the team’s final roster cutdown. After spending the majority of the 2007 season on the Giants practice squad, Daniels was promoted to their active roster on 11/23/07 and went on to play in eight games (four regular season, four playoffs) during their Super Bowl Championship run. Originally a rookie free agent signing of the Eagles in 2006, Daniels was promoted to the active roster on 11/21/06 after spending the first 11 games on the team’s practice squad, and went on to notch nine special teams tackles in just six games. A native of Clarendon, AR, Daniels became the first player from Division II Harding University to play in the NFL.
To understand this seven-time Pro Bowl safety, just take a look on the top shelf of his locker. There you will find multiple figurines of his favorite comic book hero, Wolverine, some of which have been provided by his fans. Wolverine is the low-key leader of the X-Men, a comic book action series, an animated cartoon and the main character in three full-length feature films. Wolverine is known for his animal-keen senses that allow him to track his adversaries with great ease, very much like Brian Dawkins, the longest tenured athlete in Philadelphia, hunts down opposing ball carriers and receivers. The Eagles 2nd round draft choice in 1996 landed a starting role in the second game of his rookie season and has since gone on to become the franchise’s all-time leader in games played and tied for the franchise-lead in interceptions, while averaging nearly 100 tackles per year, countless train-wreck hits and garnering seven Pro Bowl selections, including a trip to Hawaii in 2009.
SEASON HIGHLIGHTS: •
Had a team-high 4 special teams tackles vs. Atl. (10/26)
QUOTES: •
Special Teams Coordinator Rory Segrest on having Daniels back on the team: “We’re excited about having Tank here. He’s a guy that’s got some experience under his belt now. He understands how to play the game on special teams and he takes a lot of pride in his work there.”

HC Andy Reid on Dawkins’ love of the game: “He’s so strong mentally. He’s as tough as you can imagine. I’ve got a lot of guys that love to play the game, but I would say that there’s nobody that loved to play as much as him. He loves every part of the game. You can tell by the way he comes out of that tunnel that when it’s time to go, it’s time to go. You have to love that from a coaching standpoint and I know his fellow players respect him for that.” HC Andy Reid on Dawkins’ career: “He’s going to go down as one of the all-time greats to play his position. We’re talking about a guy that should be in the Hall of Fame, when it’s all said and done…Brian’s one of the guys that you don’t see a lot of. You saw it with Ronnie Lott and Brian that if you needed him to play corner, he could go over and play corner for you. There aren’t a lot of guys that are that versatile out there.” S Quintin Mikell on Dawkins’ presence: "Him being back there makes a big difference. You're talking about the cornerstone of the defense and of this team. When you think of the Eagles D, you think of Dawk. When we're watching film, I just sit there and look at some of the things he does, and I'm like, 'Wow.' He's just amazing. Especially when I first came here, I'd be sitting in meetings and just watching everything that he did. Even to this day I'm amazed by the stuff he can do. I don't want to think about when he's not here. I look at him as a father figure, as a guy I look up to." CB Asante Samuel on playing with Dawkins: “He’s an animal. He’s a hell of a player and I love playing with him. He plays with a lot of emotions and a lot of heart and he just wants to win.” Dawkins on passing Harold Carmichael for most games played in team history: “It means a whole lot, it really does. I made this statement to you guys, but to know that I played the most games for this organization since it’s been founded, it’s mind boggling to me to know that I surpassed Harold [Carmichael] who, like I said, is a guy that I respect tremendously and we both came from the same high school. It even makes that honor a lot bigger.”

S Brian Dawkins on any young players he’s been impressed by: “I guess I might be a little biased because he’s a safety, but I’ve liked what I’ve seen Demps do. I think he’s a playmaker back there in the secondary…He’s always trying to make a play on the ball. I think he’s a guy that has impressed me with his athleticism also.” Head Coach Andy Reid on Demps and DeSean Jackson as returners: “I think they are both explosive players. They are different in their game but they are both explosive, young and have a lot of energy…They have some personality. They love to play and they bring great energy to the football team. Our veteran players love watching them.''

46 – Jon Dorenbos – LS After battling a tremendous amount of personal adversity early in life, Jon Dorenbos has worked hard and stayed focused enough to carve out a six-year career as a NFL long snapper. Originally signed by Philadelphia in the latter half of the 2006 season, Dorenbos has played in every game for the Eagles since then (including postseason) and inked a five-year contract extension on 12/29/07, which will keep him in Philadelphia through 2012. Dorenbos, who endured the murder of his mother by his father at a young age, took up magic to help ease his mind throughout the tough times. Dorenbos, in fact, has become so good at his craft that he's been hired for shows in Hollywood and Las Vegas.
BIRDSEED: •
Named the team's Ed Block Courage Award recipient of 2008. The award honors those National Football League players who exemplify commitment to the principles of sportsmanship and courage and is given by a vote of the team for effort as well as individual performance

Feeley 2008 Rushing Game-By-Game
A fifth round draft pick of the Eagles in 2001, Feeley is in his second stint in Philadelphia after re-signing with the club during the 2006 preseason and later inking a three-year contract extension on 2/25/07. Feeley started the final five games of the 2002 season when Donovan McNabb and Koy Detmer were both sidelined by injury, and went 4-1 in that span, helping the Eagles secure home-field advantage for the playoffs. He was then traded to Miami in 2004 for a second round draft choice that was used to select WR Reggie Brown, and later to San Diego during the 2005 season. As an Eagle, Feeley has completed 58.6% of his passes for 2,177 yards and 16 touchdowns.

I think they feed off of, not only his knowledge, but also his confidence and that upbeat spirit that he has…All the guys know that he’s sharp. He’s in tune with things and they all have a lot of confidence in him. So, when he speaks, people listen.”

INJURY REPORT: •
Was placed on the Injured Reserve list on 8/30 with a shoulder injury
A unique talent on defense with good pass-rush ability, Chris Gocong is a versatile player, starting at SAM linebacker in 2008 while also contributing on special teams. After spending his rookie campaign on the Injured Reserve list, Gocong played in all 16 games in 2007 and amassed 92 tackles and one sack. Gocong really began to show his playmaking ability in the second half of the season when defensive coordinator Jim Johnson began using him at both linebacker and defensive end. Said teammate Sheldon Brown of Gocong's progression: "Chris Gocong was definitely a nice surprise for us. He made such a leap. If you had asked me about him in the beginning of the year, I would have told you the coaches were crazy for putting him out there. But, now I think he's going to be a Pro Bowler." A third round draft choice in 2006, Gocong was one of college football's most prolific sack artists (42 sacks in 41 games) during his career at Division I-AA Cal Poly.
SEASON HIGHLIGHTS: • • •
• • •
Finished t-3rd on the team in special teams tackles (19) Tied a career high with 9 tkls. and registered 2 TFLs in a playoff win (NFC-WC) at Min. (1/4) Landed a vicious hit on Giants RB Brandon Jacobs, jamming the ball loose for the 1st FF of his career vs. NYG (11/9).

Head coach Andy Reid on Hanson’s style of play: “He's tough, he's quick, and he's very detailed at what he does. He's not the biggest guy in the world, but he plays that way. He plays big and he plays tough.” Defensive coordinator Jim Johnson on Hanson’s development: “He just has a good feel for the game. You tell him to do something once, and he'll do it well and you don't have to say anything about it again…You can see he's around the ball - he's got a real nose for the football and a feel for the defense, and he's physical. He plays hard, and he plays tough.”

Head coach Andy Reid on Howard’s versatility: “You have guys like that who have been starters that aren’t afraid to do their job, have their role set for them, and then do their job to the best of their ability, and Darren is the epitome of that. He came back in phenomenal shape, lost some weight. He can play on the outside, can play on the inside. He’s a huge part of our nickel package. Is he playing as much as he wants? I don’t know. Probably not because he’s a competitive guy. But he never says a word and he rallies people around him. It’s great to watch.” Head Coach Andy Reid on Howard’s success this season: “The son-of-a-gun, he went home this offseason and trained like no other, he dropped a little bit of weight and you could just see in the mini camps when he came back that things were going to work out for him. He’s so explosive off the ball, and if you can ever use an example of ‘hard work pays off,’ use him as that example. He deserves everything that he is getting here.” Defensive Coordinator Jim Johnson on Howard’s career turnaround: “I think he's the most improved player on the team this year. He's been the most pleasant surprise with the way he's playing right now. He's given us a lot of production…I think Darren Howard is in the best shape he’s been in since he’s been here.”

A second-round pick of the Eagles in 2008, DeSean Jackson turned in one of the finest performances by a rookie receiver in Eagles history in 2008, setting records in receptions among rookie wide receivers (62) and putting up more yards than any rookie in team history (912). A first-team All-America selection in 2007, he scored 29 total touchdowns in 36 career games in college and set a Pac-10 Conference record with six punt returns for touchdowns in his career, two shy of the NCAA all-time record of eight. His career average of 16.7 yards per return set a Cal record and ranks second in Pac-10 history behind baseball Hall of Famer, Jackie Robinson of UCLA (18.8).

Head Coach Andy Reid on Jackson learning defense to help his offense: "It's rare for a young guy to do that. Normally, they are just concentrating on themselves and learning the offense. But I know he asks [the Eagles] corners if he's giving away any tendencies or any indicators on his specific routes. And then on the flip side, he'll check with those cornerbacks on their techniques they use to defend a certain route he'll run. He's very open to that communication and it's helping him." Offensive Coordinator Marty Mornhinweg on Jackson’s quick learning: “There are a couple of things that he has that allows him to be a really fast learner. First of all, he’s a natural player. His movements are just natural. He does a lot of things that we teach that he just does naturally…Secondly, he’s really sharp, football-wise. Really, for him it takes him once or twice, maybe three reps, and he’s got it. He can take it from the classroom to the field very quickly as well.” RB Brian Westbrook on how exciting Jackson is to watch: “He’s an exciting player. I think probably since I’ve been here he probably is one of the more exciting rookies…DeSean, specifically, he’s gone out there and his moves, his speed have really been exciting for me and for the other guys on the team as well. We expect a lot of him, so we need him to help this team whether it’s with field position, as well as big plays on offense.” FS Brian Dawkins on Jackson’s ability to make defenders miss: “When you have a receiver who can get up the field like he gets up the field, obviously, making it look effortless. The thing I’ve seen a lot of good receivers have is a step-back move—to be able to catch the ball, and once you catch it, make the first guy pause and stop his feet because you have a step-back move. That’s what he has; he has the ability to step back once he catches the ball and make that first cat miss. Then he has the acceleration to get away from him really fast. Not a lot of people have that. He definitely has it.” Head Coach Andy Reid on Jackson and Quintin Demps as returners: “I think they are both explosive players. They are different in their game but they are both explosive, young

67 –Jamaal Jackson– C/G A rookie free agent signee from Delaware State in 2003, Jamaal Jackson has utilized his big frame and a strong work ethic to not only earn a starting role in the middle of the Eagles offensive line, but a seven-year contract extension that will keep him in Philadelphia through 2013. Jackson spent most of his rookie season on the practice squad and all of 2004 on Injured Reserve with a torn triceps muscle. He was thrust into the starting lineup for an injured Hank Fraley in the final eight games of 2005 and has since started in 56 consecutive games, fourth among active center in the NFL.
QUOTES: •
QB Donovan McNabb on Jackson’s leadership on the line: “It all starts with Jamaal Jackson and myself. I think Jamaal has done a great job of making sure that everyone sees and recognizes if a blitz is coming and making sure the guys understand who they’re blocking. When you do that, it takes a lot of pressure off the other guys, so that they don’t have to focus so much on looking around…Those guys have really made my job a lot easier.”

62 – Max Jean-Gilles – G A burly guard with good athletic ability, Max Jean-Gilles is a monstrous force on the offensive line. Originally a fourth-round draft choice of the Eagles in 2006, Jean-Gilles has been impressive when given the opportunity and received the majority of the playing time at right guard in 2008, playing in place of an injured Shawn Andrews. However, Jean-Gilles suffered a broken fibula on 11/27 and was placed on the Injured Reserve list on 12/3.
SEASON HIGHLIGHTS: • •
Started at RG for games 3-12 in place of an injured Shawn Andrews Played the entire second half at RG at Dal. (9/15) after Shawn Andrews left with a back injury
QUOTES: •
•
Offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg on Jean-Gilles’ ability: “You win with guys like Max. Max is a fighter. He’s a big strong, big effort guy. He loves to play the game, and when you love to play the game you’re going to work hard, normally, and you’re going to get better every day.” QB Donovan McNabb on Jean-Gilles starting at RG: “I think Max has done a great job of filling in and being able to get comfortable in the offense, as well as communicating with the rest of the guys up there…Max is a guy who we trust in so many situations, whether it’s run blocking or pass blocking. This experience, for him, is going to take him a long way.”

S Brian Dawkins on Jordan’s promotion to starter: “I think what you’ve seen, and what you will continue to see, is he is a very, very athletic young man. He has speed and he’s a guy whose playmaking ability on the ball is tremendous. You haven’t seen that, but you will. The more he’s in that lineup and getting used to the position, where he needs to be and knowing where he needs to be, then you’ll see his playmaking potential be able to shine a lot more.”

Special Teams Coordinator Rory Segrest on Jordan’s role on special teams: “He’s just a guy who knows how to play football. He ends up in the right spot, he takes coaching well, he always has a high motor and does things the way you ask him to do it. I’m expecting him to be one of our special teams leaders this year. He could do a great job for us.”

He and his wife, Loni, gave birth to their first child, Nathan Daniel Klecko, on 9/20. The 9-lb. boy is also the first grandchild for Dan’s father, Joe, a former NFL player with the New York Jets
QUOTES: •
•
•
Defensive Coordinator Jim Johnson on whether he has seen a guy with Klecko’s build be able to do the things he’s done: “No, I haven’t. He has such great quickness. He has good football sense and he loves to play. He’s a high-motor guy. The biggest thing he has is he really has quickness.” General Manager Tom Heckert on Klecko being undersized: “He's a guy that you look at him on the hoof and he doesn't look like he can do the things he does, but he's an instinctive guy and he just makes plays. He has a knack of getting to the football and he's such a great technician that he gets away with being undersized." DT Brodrick Bunkley on his technique: "Man, Kleck is quick and slippery. He just knows how to work the edges. In order to be a great pass rusher, you have to know how to work the edges. He's a specialist at that."
Dan Klecko has a perfect career record in the playoffs, going 7 for 7 with New England, Indianapolis and Philadelphia. He is the only active player to boast a perfect winning percentage and one of three players in NFL history (min. 7 games)

83 – Greg Lewis – WR A precise route runner with a knack for coming up with clutch catches, Greg Lewis has been a steady contributor for the Eagles in his six-year career. Originally signed as a rookie free agent in 2003, Lewis was quick to absorb the West Coast offense even though he did not start as a senior at Illinois. In 2004, he inked a five-year contract extension through 2011.

Suffered a quad contusion in the second qtr. at Dal. (9/15) and did not return
Snagged a 10-yd. TD from QB Donovan McNabb in the 4th qtr. of a win vs. Cle. (12/15) Went 5-104 and caught a regular season career long 52yarder from QB Donovan McNabb in a win vs. StL (9/7), for his 1st career 100-yd. performance o With 100-yd. days vs. StL (9/7), Lewis (5-104), DeSean Jackson (6-106), and Hank Baskett (2-102) combined to make the Eagles the first NFL team with three 100-yd. receivers since Kansas City’s Derrick Alexander (9-139), Tony Gonzalez (9-134), and Sylvester Morris (6-102) hit that trifecta in a 49-31 loss at Oakland on 11/5/00. The last time three Eagles receivers recorded 100-yards-ormore in the same game was on 12/18/60, when Timmy Brown (5-128), Tommy McDonald (2-116), and Pete Retzlaff (5-110) did so in a 38-28 victory at Washington. *According to the Elias Sports Bureau
QUOTES: •
Head Coach Andy Reid on Lewis’ ability to move around the field: “The one nice thing about this crew is that we have a bunch of smart guys that know all the different positions.
Greg Lewis has always been the guy that can do that the best of everybody, and he’s still very good at that. He’s been a good example to the other guys, not to just learn their spot but to learn the spots around them. If you look at our film, you see guys playing all over the place with this crew, and I think that’s a positive.”

LB Omar Gaither on Mays as a tackler: “Once he gets his hands on you, you know you’re going down…You see him in on a lot of plays out there, so I think his progression is going well. He certainly makes it hard for offenses when you have a guy like that who's strong and who can run and who can hit."

McGlynn was placed on the Injured Reserve list on 1/7 with a torn hamstring.

5 – Donovan McNabb – QB A multi-dimensional threat at quarterback, Donovan McNabb has helped raise the standards of success of this franchise since 1999, when the Eagles chose him with the 2nd overall pick in the draft. Along the way, McNabb has become one of the NFL's most recognizable and elite players, and was rewarded with a lucrative, 12-year contract extension in 2002. And although he has led the Eagles to a Super Bowl, five NFC Championship game appearances and more postseason wins (9) than any other quarterback in team history, McNabb, a five-time Pro Bowl selection, has his eyes focused on even loftier goals. His production on the field, his personality, leadership skills, sense of humor, work ethic and attitude, all add up to give Philadelphia one of the most well-rounded athletes in sports.

Owner Jeffrey Lurie on the 10-year relationship of Reid and McNabb: “It’s very special. They’ve been one of the most special, successful duos in probably the history of the league, and it’s still just there. They’re both in their prime, coach and quarterback.” Offensive Coordinator Marty Mornhinweg on McNabb’s drive: “Of all the great players I have coached, Donovan, I think, has a chance to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. I really think that. Now, there is a little bit left to do here, but all the great players have that mentality that they are never done learning.” Head Coach Andy Reid on McNabb coming back from injury: “He's the team leader and he's handled that with great responsibility and grace. He's unique. He has that great sense of humor where he can be the funniest guy on the bus. At the same time, when he needs to crank it up he can get after you a little bit. To have a leader like that, from a head coaching stand point, you cannot get enough of that." Pittsburgh Head Coach Mike Tomlin on McNabb: "He's throwing the deep ball as well as I've ever seen him throw it. His pocket awareness and movement and creating something as plays break down is as dangerous as ever. He just appears to be in a groove right now and playing really well. And when he's playing like that you have problems playing the Philadelphia Eagles."

27 – Quintin Mikell – S A young, athletic safety with a knack for making plays, Quintin Mikell (pronounced MICHAEL) had an all-pro type year in his first full season as the starting strong safety in 2008. Mikell led the team in tackles with 169 and teamed up with Brian Dawkins to make one of the more imposing safety tandems in the league. Said CB Sheldon Brown of Mikell’s 2008 season: "He's a beast. He's an animal. He's just an old-school football player. He'll have a bloody nose, bloody mouth, you're going to look at him and he's going to line up again and bring it." One of six rookie free agents to make the opening day roster in 2003, Mikell has posted a team-leading 126 special teams tackles during that time span and was voted the Eagles special teams MVP in 2005 and 2006. Mikell earned a four-year contract on 2/27/07 that will keep him in Philadelphia through 2010.

Head Coach Andy Reid on Mikell’s season: “I think he’s really one of the better safeties in the league right now. I know that he doesn’t have all the interception numbers and that, but he is a ferocious player. He’s smart. He is good against the run. He’s good against the pass. He makes calls back there, adjustment calls. I just really like the way he plays. Then he jumps in on special teams and does that on top of that.” FS Brian Dawkins comparing Mikell to himself: "Remember when I told y'all that he was a mirror image of me, but you wouldn't listen? I meant that in every way. All he needed was his confidence to be where it is right now. The guy is playing flat-out great ball and I see that continuing to grow." CB Joselio Hanson on Mikell’s physical play: "He's really a guy that has to be feared out there. We were watching film of the [Carolina Panthers preseason] game and everybody in the room was like, 'oooh, aaah,' play after play. Q is out there just throwing his body around and hitting people, him and Dawk. He goes out there and knocks heads around and that's all you can ask from a strong safety."

Head Coach Andy Reid on Parker’s positive approach: “He has a great attitude, very unselfish, very, very team oriented, and you know that you are going to get an honest down out of him every snap. He’s going to give you everything that he has. He plays very hungry. He’s a little bit older now, but he plays very hungry, and he still has the athletic ability.” CB Sheldon Brown on Parker’s success as an undrafted player: "He's an athletic individual. When you're a free agent in the league and you're starting, you're a special player. Free agents have to work that much harder. It's not politics. They have to work that much harder and he deserves everything he gets."

98 – Mike Patterson – DT A stout defensive tackle with great technique, Mike Patterson is perhaps one of the most underrated players on the Eagles defense. Known for his consistent play week in and week out, Patterson has been one of the key features in the Eagles run defense in his career, leading all Eagles defensive linemen in tackles (348) since 2005. In fact, in 2007 Patterson and teammate Trent Cole (103) became the first pair of Eagles defensive linemen to record 100-or-more tackles in the same season since 1991. A first round draft choice, Patterson signed a 7-year contract extension in 2006 that will keep him in Philadelphia through 2016.

The former Australian league legend played in 257 career games and scored 748 goals in his 15-year career for the Collingwood Magpies (1992-99) and the North Melbourne Kangaroos (2000-2006).

Armed with a feisty on-field mentality, 6-7, 330-pound Jon Runyan takes pride in being a physical force each and every time he exits the locker room. "What Jon has brought to the offensive line is that temperament of his," said Andy Reid. "He is going to maul you and beat you up and feel pretty good about doing it. That's been contagious all the way across the line." Runyan, who suited up for the NFC's Pro Bowl squad in 2002, has started 192 straight regular season contests. In addition, he and LT Tra Thomas have started 134 games together, most by a tackle tandem in Eagles history.
SEASON HIGHLIGHTS: • •

QUOTES: •

HC Andy Reid on Runyan playing through injury: "Any time that you can put those kinds of streaks together, especially the way he plays, a very physical style of football, that's an amazing thing. He has been banged up before and he has gone out there and done what he's needed to do to play." OC Marty Mornhinweg on Runyan’s and Tra Thomas’ careers: “They have both done an excellent job here later in their careers of keeping themselves in terrific physical
•
condition on a consistent basis throughout the year. I think that has added years for both of them. They are both terrific players and we need them both. They both add toughness to the football team.” OC Marty Mornhinweg on Runyan’s streak of consecutive games started: “That toughness, there’s no other way that you could play that many games straight without having an unbelievable amount of toughness and high-pain threshold. He certainly has that. He’s played with what most regular people would be in the hospital [with]. He plays, and he knows that’s his job, to play football. It’s almost unthinkable for a lineman to play that many games.”

22 – Asante Samuel – CB One of the premier playmaking defensive backs in recent NFL history, Asante Samuel splashed onto the Philadelphia scene after putting his signature on a six-year contract with the Eagles on the first day of free agency in 2008 and promptly led the team in INTs in his first season. "I think the cornerback position is very important," said head coach Andy Reid upon signing the Pro Bowl cornerback. "When you have an opportunity to get the best one in the business, then you need to look at that. I welcome him aboard and I know Jim Johnson has great plans for Asante...Asante is a great player and he'll make great plays for us." Samuel spent his first five years with the New England Patriots, where he recorded 22 interceptions in 75 regular season games and five more in 14 career postseason contests. A two-time Super Bowl Champion with New England, Samuel tops the NFL with 8 career INT returns for a touchdown (including postseason) and is 2nd in the NFL with 20 interceptions over the past three seasons, earning him two consecutive Pro Bowl selections in 2008 and 2009.

QUOTES: •
•
Head Coach Andy Reid on Samuel’s work ethic: "What people may not realize is how hard Asante studies film. He studies the game, studies his opponents, and will often be here until 9 pm at night working on that part of his game. He focuses on the receivers and the quarterbacks, looking for any keys and tendencies he can use in the upcoming game…And then he brings that same work ethic to the practice field each day. He brings energy and bravado to that side of the ball." Former NFL G and current TV personality Brian Baldinger on Samuel: “I don’t know what the price of admission is at the Linc, but I’d pay double to watch Samuel play corner.”
•
•
Defensive Coordinator Jim Johnson on Samuel’s presence on the field: “He’s got a great knack for playing that corner position. He’s done a great job so far. He gets a good break on the ball. I don’t know if it affects the defense any more, other than just being out there at left corner. That affects the defense.” Samuel on playing in Philadelphia: “I can’t think of a better place. I love the Eagles. The coaches are great, the fans are great, and it’s my style of defense—aggressive and we have to make some plays.”
INJURY REPORT: •
Was inactive vs. Arz. (11/27) with a stinger suffered in the 3 qtr. at Bal. (11/23)

Offensive Coordinator Marty Mornhinweg on Thomas’ and Jon Runyan’s careers: “They have great experience and are both terrific players. They have both done an excellent job here later in their careers of keeping themselves in terrific physical condition on a consistent basis throughout the year. I think that has added years for both of them. They are both terrific players and we need them both. They both add toughness to the football team.”

72 – Tra Thomas – T Big Tra Thomas has made a nice living out of being Donovan McNabb's blindside bodyguard. "Backside tackles are always big for a quarterback," said McNabb. "Tra has played a major part in the success I've had here over the years. We've had great times together. It's always good when you look back and know the guy who has been there throughout your career is still back there." One of the most accomplished left tackles in team history, Thomas, who was recruited as a defensive end by Florida State, is now a three-time Pro Bowl selection and has been a mainstay at the left tackle spot since being chosen in the first round in 1998. Thomas ranks 2nd in team history in games played by an offensive lineman (166), and 4th overall, having missed just eight games due to injury during his 11-year career. In addition, he and RT Jon Runyan have started 134 games together; the most by a tackle tandem in Eagles history.

36 –Brian Westbrook – RB One of the game's most electrifying players, Brian Westbrook set a career high and finished 4th in the NFC with 14 touchdowns in 2008, despite missing 2 games due to injury. His 2007 season was one of the best by a running back in Eagles history, as he broke franchise records in receptions (90) and yards from scrimmage (2,104), while also leading the NFL in that category. For his accomplishments, the explosive Westbrook was named as a starter to the NFC Pro Bowl squad and also earned a firstteam Associated Press All-Pro selection, becoming the first Eagles running back to receive that honor since Wilbert Montgomery did so in 1979. A dynamic player in both the run and pass game, Westbrook ranks 2nd in the NFL with 8,106 total yards from scrimmage since becoming a full-time starter in 2004. A third round draft choice in 2002, Westbrook was one of the most decorated players in NCAA Division I-AA history at nearby Villanova. He earned a six-year contract extension on 8/8/08 that will keep him in Philadelphia through 2013.

QUOTES: •

President Joe Banner on Westbrook’s new contract: “We’re talking about a Hall-of-Fame-caliber player. This is a premier guy, leader, player…He just wants to win so badly. He wants the team to be the best it can be. That’s what drove him, it’s what has always driven him…if you take somebody with that kind of talent and those kinds of intangibles that they bring to your team in who they are in their heart, in their head, that is the guy you want to make sure is feeling good about things if you possibly can.” Head Coach Andy Reid on the matchup problems that Westbrook creates: "I can flex him out and run him on go routes. It doesn't matter if they put a corner out there or roll a safety over the top. If they do, they're toast. He can beat corners." CB Asante Samuel on Westbrook: “That guy is incredible. I just love to watch him play, the way he makes people miss and shake them. I am happy he’s on my team. I am happy I don’t have to tackle him.”

Now in his second stint in Philadelphia, Tank Daniels was claimed off waivers from the New York Giants on 8/31/08, a day after being released as part of the team’s final roster cutdown. After spending the majority of the 2007 season on the Giants practice squad, Daniels was promoted to their active roster on 11/23/07 and went on to play in eight games (four regular season, four playoff) during their Super Bowl Championship run. Originally a rookie free agent signing of the Eagles in 2006, Daniels was promoted to the active roster on 11/21/06 after spending the first 11 games on the team’s practice squad, and went on to notch nine special teams tackles in just six games. A native of Clarendon, AR, Daniels became the first player from Division II Harding University to play in the NFL. BIRDSEED: • Took a circuitous route to the NFL after attending Division II Harding University. Signed a letter of intent to play at Division I-AA Arkansas-Pine Bluff, but decided on Harding because he thought he would have a better opportunity to succeed in football. Ended up becoming the first player from that school to play in the NFL. Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher, Charles “Preacher” Roe (1938-54), was the last pro athlete from Harding. Harding just recently retired his #3 jersey in the 2008 offseason

always make an annual trip to St. Louis to visit family and then watch a baseball game. I loved the way Ozzie played the game.” • Earned a degree in kinesiology • Full name: Torrance Daniels

Jason Avant Feature
JASON AVANT: HE'S MR. THIRD-AND-WHATEVER By Ray Parrillo Philadelphia Inquirer 1/12/09 Page 1 of 1 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Jason Avant isn't certain how he carved out his niche as the receiver quarterback Donovan McNabb seems to trust the most when it's third-down-and-whatever. But after some thought, Avant smiled and said: "Well, I get in the game more on third down." There's a reason for that. Avant has sure hands and he runs sharp routes in tight spaces. Also, he's willing to deal with the punishment that's often dealt to receivers who run crossing patterns in the middle of the field by guided missiles disguised as defensive backs. "This is actually new to me," said Avant, who starred at Michigan as a receiver who ran most of his patterns on the outside. "I've just been doing it for two years now. In college, I was always on the outside, so it's different. But it's receiver play. You just have to learn the intricacies of getting open in the middle. As far as me becoming the third-down receiver, I don't know about that. I just try to be as reliable as I can for Don [McNabb]." Avant has made several key thirddown catches, but the one he made in the Eagles' 23-11 playoff win over the Giants yesterday may have been the biggest. In fact, it can be argued that it was one of the game's three biggest plays. Trailing, 11-10, in the third quarter, the Eagles faced third and 20 from their own 15-yard line in the third quarter. McNabb escaped a Giants
rush and fired a 21-yard completion to Avant over the middle. It shifted field position for the Eagles. More important, it kept alive a drive that led to David Akers' 35-yard field goal that gave the Eagles a 13-11 lead they never relinquished. "I had the basic cross route and I just kept running the cross and I saw Don scrambling and I just kept on running," Avant said. "After the catch, I just turned around and tried to get the first down." Avant was limping through the locker room on a sprained knee, but he didn't seem concerned. "I'm all right," he said, which is about as detailed a report on an injury from a player at this time of the season. A major reason why the Eagles cleared what many assume was their biggest hurdle to the Super Bowl was their third-down conversion rate. They were successful on 50 percent of their tries (7 for 14). To put that in perspective, the league average is 40 percent. During the regular season, the Eagles were a so-so 41.3 percent. Another critical third-down conversion came after Avant's play. On third and 10, McNabb hit running back Correll Buckhalter for a 19-yard gain to the Giants 22. But after Avant's conversion, the Eagles pretty much took control of the game on both sides of the ball. Avant said the Eagles felt as if they had the Giants where they wanted at halftime. "We couldn't wait to play the second half because we felt we were in a really good position," he said. "I don't know - it seemed like the weather warmed up."
Hank Baskett Feature
EVERY BREATH IS PRECIOUS FOR EAGLES' WIDEOUT BASKETT By MARCUS HAYES Philadelphia Daily News 9/24/08 Page 1 of 2 HANK BASKETT would always push it. He would feel his breath laboring, and know his lips were turning blue, and he would fight through, and he would collapse. These days, he better appreciates every breath he takes. Baskett easily recalls the last time he passed out because of his asthma. He was a junior, and it was at football practice. It was a year before he converted to wide receiver, a move that would mean a college scholarship, a contract with the Eagles and, Sunday, a game-high eight catches in a win over the Steelers. But on Aug. 30, 1999, he was the quarterback at powerful Clovis High in New Mexico, and he pushed it too hard at practice, again, and passed out on the field. Earlier the same day, a half-mile away, asthma killed Sarah Upton. According to court documents, a substitute gym teacher at Gattis Junior High, forced Upton, a ninth-grader, to continue to run sprints when Upton asked to stop. Upton went to her next class. She passed out at her desk. School personnel tried to administer her inhaler but did not perform CPR, and failed to call in the emergency for 15 minutes. And so, she died. Every day, 11 Americans die of asthma attacks; every year, 4,000. Baskett speaks passionately about living with asthma. He encourages asth-
matics to pursue their interests just like he did . . . but not like he did. "I tell kids to be smart with it but don't let it hold you back," said Baskett, who would often snag his inhaler for a quick puff as he ran by the bench during basketball games. "Don't let people say you can't do something because you have asthma." Sometimes, fear of being seen as soft trumped Baskett's fear of dying. "The coaches sometimes would tell me to stop but I wouldn't," Baskett said. "I didn't want my coaches or teammates to see me using it as an excuse." Bracing for Troy Polamalu's crushing Kamikaze tackles cannot compare with the helpless terror of your throat muscles in spasm as your life's breath stops: "When you wake up at night and you don't have an inhaler right there, and you don't have your breathing machine, and your parents have to take you to the hospital because you can't breathe . . . When your lungs close - there's nothing you can do to get air in - it's very dangerous." Upton's death hammered that home. She was 14, Baskett was 17. The death, and its surrounding circumstances, rocked Clovis, an Air Force base town of about 33,000 - or, about half the capacity of Lincoln Financial Field.
doing 10 sprints, and you can't go after seven, let me know," Roanhaus said he told Baskett - and, with a wink, added: "Know this: If you go into distress, I'm not giving you mouth-to-mouth." These days, Roanhaus would have to get in line. Baskett lately has been dating Playboy party girl Kendra Wilkinson, but then, Baskett has long been popular on the party scene of whatever town he's in. At least, he was. "I stopped going out," this past offseason, he said. "I get my rest. I stopped the partying and drinking and everything." In Clovis this offseason he virtually eliminated fats and sugars and lost 15 pounds, all while training like never before, at altitude. "The altitude helps me with my asthma and everything," said Baskett. "And if you can run at 4,000 feet it makes it easier to run at 400 feet." And if you can run beside Donovan McNabb, you probably will get more chances to run down the field during games. Baskett this year spent a week at McNabb's workout camp in Arizona - a decision that required a financial commitment Baskett was reluctant to make.
Eric Roanhaus has coached Clovis to 10 state titles and eight runnerup finishes, but he made sure Baskett always understood that no title was worth dying for.
"This is probably one of the biggest investments you'll make," his father, Hank Jr., said. With higher-pedigreed targets Reggie Brown, Kevin Curtis, DeSean Jackson and Jason Avant to compete with, Hank Jr. stressed, "Donovan controls your future."

EVERY BREATH IS PRECIOUS FOR EAGLES' WIDEOUT BASKETT By MARCUS HAYES Philadelphia Daily News 9/24/08 Page 2 of 2 four short of his total in 2007; 197 yards, already 55 more than 2007; and a 90-yard touchdown, the fourth TD of his career and the third of at least 85 yards, a mark shared by only six other players. In a West Coast offense, bombs are gimmicky. Slants and outs feed the machine. With the dangerous but small Jackson blanketed, McNabb fed 6-4, 220-pound Baskett on Sunday. "Donovan trusts him; when the ball is around him he's going to go up and get it," said head coach Andy Reid, who called Baskett's performance a "career" game. Brown returned from a hamstring injury Sunday in a limited role and Curtis might come back next month from his sports hernia, but, Reid promised, "[Baskett] is going to continue to play." It took Baskett a while to become a viable NFL target. He played quarterback until midway through his senior season in high school, when a bad ankle sprain cut his mobility. In 2 weeks he was able to sprint straight ahead, so Roanhaus and his staff moved him to receiver. New Mexico saw him, liked his athleticism (he holds the New Mexico state high jump record, 7-feet, and could reverse-dunk with both hands in eighth grade), signed him, redshirted him, and, by his senior season in 2005, polished him to 67 catches, 1,071 yards and nine touchdowns. The Eagles sought to sign him as an undrafted free agent in 2006, but he
instead chose to sign with Minnesota. The Eagles immediately traded Billy McMullen for him. That worked: Baskett hauled in TD catches of 87 and 89 yards, the two longest for an undrafted rookie in NFL history. Clovis is bursting with pride at Baskett's success. Less than 90 minutes after Sunday's effort, the Clovis News Journal posted a brief on its Web site detailing Baskett's day. It runs a small piece called "Baskett Watch" the day before and the day after each of Baskett's games. It ran an online poll before the last Super Bowl: "No Cowboys. No Broncos. No Hank Baskett. Do you care about watching the Super Bowl?" Baskett also is on a billboard across the street from the high school. That's about as big as you can get there: "It's like carrying the town on your shoulders," Baskett said cheerfully. What else would you expect from a straight-A student in an Air Force town - Cannon AFB is 4 miles west whose father is a retired Air Force man with 30 years of service, whose mother has worked at Canon as chief financial officer for more than 30 years, whose brother, Randy Curtis, spent 13 years in the Army. What's more, Baskett coaxed six teammates to play in his charity golf tournament, the second annual "Hank Baskett Tee'd Off About Child Abuse." McNabb led the journey to Clovis, 100 miles from the Lubbock, Texas, airport. Sheldon Brown, Quintin Mikell, Greg Lewis, Todd Herremans and Jon Dorenbos came, too. They made the trip, they mingled with the crowd, they helped raise money for the Oasis Children's Advocacy Center, where Baskett's father works.
"It says a lot about Hank that they came," Hank Baskett Jr. said. It says more that Baskett ever made it this far. A frequent charity face for the Eagles, Baskett said he is willing to be an advocate for asthma awareness but he has yet to be asked. And while he never will be as big in Philly as he is in Clovis, Sunday's performance only increased his profile Maybe Sunday was Baskett's finest hour: "If my role declines, that's what happens," Baskett said. Equipped with the perspective of what might have been, clearly, Baskett is at peace. After all, on that day in August 9 years ago, it might have been him, not Sarah Upton.

BASKETT DELIVERS WHILE GOING DEEP FOR EAGLES By REUBEN FRANK Burlington County Times 9/11/08 Page 1 of 1 No question Jerry Rice is the greatest wide receiver in NFL history. He had 14 1,000-yard seasons, scored 207 touchdowns, will be a unanimous first-ballot pick into the Hall of Fame when he's eligible next year. He hasn't done what Hank Baskett has done. Terrell Owens is one of the 10 best receivers ever. We've seen it ourselves, playing both for and against the Eagles. He hasn't done what Hank Baskett has done. Torry Holt? Cris Carter? Randy Moss? None of them. Not even close. Hank Baskett, an undrafted free agent who has started six career games, now has three career receptions of 87 yards or more, and nobody in NFL history has more. “It's insane,” Baskett said. “It's definitely just crazy. I can't explain it. I guess I've just been in the right place at the right time.” Baskett caught an 87-yard touchdown pass from Donovan McNabb in his fifth NFL game, the Eagles' 38-24 win over the Dallas Cowboys in 2006 and an 89-yarder from A.J. Feeley on the last day of the 2006 season in a 24-17 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He topped those with a 90-yarder from McNabb in the second quarter of the Eagles' 38-3 win over the St. Louis Rams on Sunday.
In NFL history, only five other receivers have three catches of 85 yards or more, and Baskett is the first since former San Francisco 49er John Taylor with three in a career. Nobody else currently in the NFL has more than one catch as long as 87 yards. Baskett has three. Average length of his four career touchdowns: 69 yards. What makes this all so weird is that Baskett is not a speed burner, and he's not even a regular player. He has 40 career catches, which means one out of every 13 has been longer than any catch ever made by Carter, Marvin Harrison, Steve Largent, Art Monk, Andre Reed, Reggie Wayne or Lynn Swann. “Yeah, when you're expected to be the slow possession guy, people aren't expecting it,” said Baskett, whom the Eagles acquired from the Minnesota Vikings during the 2006 preseason in exchange for Billy McMullen. “But a lot goes into it. Donovan made great throws, and so did A.J. against Atlanta. We had to have great protection.” Baskett's 89-yarder was the longest reception in the NFL in 2006, and if his 90-yarder on Sunday holds up as the longest this season, he'll join Gaynell Tinsley (1937, 1938), Don Hutson (1935, 1942), Harlon Hill (1956, 1959) and Michael Haynes (1992, 1993) as the only players in league history to record the longest catch of two different seasons. Ask Baskett what the three catches have in common, and without hesitating he'll tell you that all three contributed to wins. And that's really all that matters to him. “You know me, I just want to win, and
it doesn't matter how that happens,” he said. “If I catch a 1-yard touchdown or a 90-yard touchdown or if I have a block that helps another guy score a touchdown, it's all the same to me.” Baskett only had 142 receiving yards all last season, with a long gain of 25 yards. After catching 22 passes for 464 yards as a rookie, his 2007 output was a big disappointment. He worked diligently during the offseason to get into the same kind of shape he was in as a rookie. It's made a difference. “I definitely feel lighter and quicker,” he said. “I feel like have more endurance, and I know I can be on the field longer than last year. Before, I had to come out of the game too much. I don't feel that way anymore. I can definitely tell a difference.” Baskett, who now owns three of the 126 longest catches in NFL history, already has as many career 100-yard games as Reggie Brown, for whom he started against the Rams. Brown has a hamstring injury, but head coach Andy Reid said Brown will go back into the starting lineup when he's healthy. But Baskett will still play. He's made a living out of beating the odds and doing the unexpected. “I've always been somebody who just takes advantage of his opportunities,” he said. “When I got traded from Minnesota, at first I was upset, but then I looked at it as another opportunity. That's been my whole career — whenever I get a chance, just make the most of it.”

BASKETT SET TO FIGHT FOR HIS JOB By GEOFF MOSHER The News Journal 6/7/08 Page 1 of 1 PHILADELPHIA -- A peculiar scene on the last day of this week's Eagles minicamp was the tall, slender wide receiver crouched in a three-point stance during special-teams drills, taunting the defensive linemen. "I'm trying to tell these d-linemen, if they want to get in these trenches and go one-on-one, we can do it," Hank Baskett said. Baskett, a third-year pro, was kidding. And just to be sure, he backtracked rather quickly. "I just like teasing them guys," he said, suddenly turning serious. "I would not ever step in with our dline." Funny thing about Baskett's teasing, though. Blocking men much beefier than himself had become an important part of his job last season, a demand Baskett brought upon himself. With tight end L.J. Smith slowed by two groin surgeries and backup tight end Matt Schobel also banged up, Baskett volunteered to fill in when needed in pass protection schemes that called for two tight ends. "I did a lot of that blocking off the edge in college," Baskett said. Except these were faster, stronger NFL linemen itching to plant someone like Baskett backward en route to the quarterback. But sacrifices like those, Baskett believes, are necessary for the sake of keeping his job. Such is life for someone whose spot on the roster is up for grabs every year, and probably will be his entire NFL career. "This year, it's a fight again for all those spots," Baskett said, standing in front of the locker stall he considers symbolic. "When you don't have your nameplate up here, that's a bad thing," he said. "If you have to pay to get
your name put on a jersey, that's a bad thing." No rookie endeared himself more to the Eagles fan base and coaching staff in 2006 than the affable Baskett, whom the Eagles acquired in a one-for-one deal with Minnesota for Billy McMullen. Minnesota had signed Baskett out of New Mexico after the draft but needed someone familiar with a West Coast offense. McMullen fit the bill. The Eagles had let Terrell Owens go the prior season and hadn't yet brought in Donté Stallworth, and needed depth at receiver. Baskett made such a quick transition that he started opposite Reggie Brown in the team's first preseason game. Whereas rookies tend to flame out after training camp, Baskett kept climbing. He became the second rookie -- and first undrafted rookie -- in NFL history to catch two touchdown passes of 85 yards or more in one season and ranked fourth among rookie receivers in catches (22) and yards (464). But Baskett's encore didn't match his debut -- at least, not statistically. First, the Eagles signed Kevin Curtis to pair with Brown as starting receivers. Second, receiver Jason Avant, a fourth-round pick limited by injuries in 2006, was healthy and ready to challenge Baskett for slot receiver snaps. An injury to safety Brian Dawkins forced special-teams maven Quintin Mikell into a starting role. That, in turn, led to Baskett becoming more active on special teams. Though Baskett's receiving stats dipped -- 16 catches, 142 yards -- he led the special teams with 277 points, 16 more than runner-up Avant. "Hank's a real good football player," offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said. "We had some protection problems early, so we had him in there chipping [blocking] in
the flat and those types of things. We used him in a little bit different of a role. He was an important part of our team last year even though the numbers didn't show it." Baskett referred to his multiple roles last year as something nice for the "résumé," which comes in handy in his line of work. He might be two years older than some of the nameless, faceless rookie free agents who share the locker room with him during camp, but they're reminders of where he came from and where he could be if he ever takes a play off. "Ask a lot of guys here; it's not what you did last year, it's what can you do for me today," Baskett said. "That's what these [minicamps] are about. It's hot and it's tiresome, but it's your opportunity to go out and have more plays, because when the season comes, it's the [starters] that get most of the reps. It's your chance to come out here and do what you can to get on the [coach's] camera. The more you get on the camera, the better."
Stewart Bradley Feature
EAGLES' BRADLEY WON'T TAKE STARTING FOR GRANTED By GEOFF MOSHER The News Journal 3/30/08 Page 1 of 1 The intention couldn't have been more clear on March 6, when the Eagles released veteran linebacker Takeo Spikes. But that doesn't mean Stewart Bradley performed cartwheels. Sure, Bradley's potential is the reason the Eagles said goodbye to Spikes, once an elite linebacker but now best described as steady. But the second-year pro who showed glimmers of promise in limited late-season playing time last season isn't expecting the redcarpet treatment to a starting job. To do that would be to assume, Bradley said. And you know what happens to those who assume. "Because you never know how things are going to work out," Bradley said recently at the NovaCare Complex after a workout. All signs indicate that Bradley will take over the middle linebacker job, the position for which the Eagles have groomed him since they made him a third-round pick last April. He backed up at strong side, his natural position, and the middle last year. Most of his action came on special teams. Not until the last two games of the season was Bradley unleashed at linebacker. And how. In his first start, he brought down the NFL's least-sacked quarterback when he dropped New Orleans' Drew Brees, and Bradley also had an interception later in the game.
In his second start, against Buffalo in the season finale, he made seven tackles. Defensive coordinator Jim Johnson boldly told reporters that Bradley had a future with the Eagles. "It's exciting to get your number called like that," Bradley said. "I'm itching for it right now, just thinking about it." That's about as much introspection as you'll get from Bradley. Ask him to peer inside his crystal ball and the images disappear in clouds. Even though his competition is newcomer Rocky Boiman and barely used backup Pago Togafau -- say that three times fast -- Bradley would rather consider the battle a lumberjack match. Last man standing gets the prize. "Until you have the job, it's not your job," he said. "I'm really wary of having that mentality that it's my job now. You have to earn it, and you want to come in with the mentality that, 'I have to outperform everyone at the same position every day.' "Me, I like to battle and scratch for that. It gives me more determination. Obviously, there is the drive of winning a spot, but then there's a drive to be successful and to be the best at your spot from all the 32 teams." Don't mistake humility for uncertainty. Voluntary offseason workouts begin Monday, but Bradley has spent the past three weeks at the NovaCare Complex. He has bulked up and figures to wear the firstteam jersey when minicamps begin in May. It would disappointing if he didn't.
"I'm not going to make assumptions," he said, "but that's where I want to be." When he's not preparing for the upcoming camps, Bradley isn't wasting his free time. After the season, he visited a friend in Paris. He also spent time in his hometown of Salt Lake City and in Lincoln, Neb., for another friend's wedding. Bradley also is making good use of his business degree. He is hoping to intern this spring at one of Philadelphia's major investment banks, with an emphasis on investment managing. "You got to do something else, get involved with constructive things around town," he said. "It's better than being out in the streets."
Stewart Bradley, Chris Gocong and Omar Gaither Feature
EAGLES' LB TRIO AT HEAD OF THE CLASS By GEOFF MOSHER The News Journal 7/13/08 Page 1 of 1 PHILADELPHIA -- Chris Gocong wouldn't be surprised if his post-NFL career life is linked to football. With all the uproar over disability money for retired NFL players, Gocong has a plan. "I'll probably be designing artificial hip implants," Gocong said last month. Gocong completed a course in fluid dynamics to earn his biomedical engineering degree in 2005 from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo -- a school known for producing renowned engineers, not professional athletes. But for the Eagles, he's one-third of an equation that combines brains and brawn to produce arguably the brightest and most promising trio of young linebackers in coach Andy Reid's tenure. The Eagles open training camp July 21 at Lehigh University. Third-year pro Omar Gaither, who recorded 170 tackles last season at middle linebacker, was a three-time Southeastern Conference all-academic selection at the University of Tennessee. Middle linebacker Stewart Bradley, the trio's newest starter, is a worldly type. He traveled to Paris in the offseason and plans to intern at one of Philadelphia's venture capital firms. How many investment bankers hover at 6-foot-4, 250 pounds, have sacked Drew Brees and claim to be avid Robert Ludlum readers? "I think we're a pretty intelligent group," Bradley said, "which I think is a necessity being kind of like the quarterbacks of the defense and making all the calls. Having linebackers that can handle the load
intellectually is important." None of this, of course, matters to Eagles diehards who demand bloodthirsty aggression. Nobody cared about Reggie White's college GPA. But for the first time since Reid became head coach in 1999, he has given coordinator Jim Johnson a stable threesome of linebackers. The linebacker group under Reid has been shuffled and reshuffled, especially on the outside, from Nate Wayne to Keith Adams and Mark Simoneau to Matt McCoy. And though Gaither, Bradley and Gocong has that law firm ring, it has the potential to be the team's starting trio well into the next decade. All three are 24 and are still playing under their rookie contracts. "You see a lot more confidence. When guys have confidence and they know what they're doing, they play a lot faster," defensive coordinator Jim Johnson said. "That's what I see from Chris Gocong. Stewart Bradley is the same thing. Omar has been the veteran of the three, but I see him playing a lot faster and making more plays around the football because he has more confidence and he knows the system." Gaither is the most experienced. The 2006 fifth-round pick drew unusual praise from Johnson after his first training camp and halfway through the year supplanted an injured and ineffective McCoy. Gaither made such an impact his rookie year that the coaches cut twotime Pro Bowler and fan favorite middle linebacker Jeremiah Trotter last June. Gaither's 170 tackles last season were tops on the defense. Gocong showed enough grasp of the playbook at minicamps last year to warrant a starting job even though he spent his rookie season on injured reserve.
His maturation came slowly, but by the end of the season, Johnson trusted the converted end to spend short stints on the defensive line. Despite starting at the strong side for three years at Nebraska, Bradley's ability to pursue at his size allowed the coaches to work him at the strong side and middle. Bradley, a third-round pick, stepped in at middle linebacker late last season. In his first game, against New Orleans, Bradley picked off and sacked Brees, one of the NFL's most elusive quarterbacks. In his next game, Bradley registered seven tackles against Buffalo. "He still has a lot to learn, don't get me wrong, but he looks good to me inside," Johnson said. "All of a sudden we put him inside in that game [against New Orleans] and he makes a couple of plays. He'll keep getting better." Gaither took part in an exclusive NFL program at the Harvard Business School in 2007. Usually, the NFL invites veterans for the program. Gaither had just wrapped up his rookie year. Not being pigeonholed into the jock stereotype is important, but he knows his paycheck is for services rendered, not an endowment. "It's obvious they're going to want to get [intelligent] players like that, but once you're playing, it's all football, so you've got to put all that stuff behind you," Gocong said. "Forget how smart everybody is and ... just make plays."
Correll Buckhalter Feature
BUCKHALTER PROVES PERSEVERANCE CAN PAY OFF By KEVIN NOONAN Gannett News Service 10/14/08 Page 1 of 1 PHILADELPHIA - One of the first things you learn in this business is that there's no cheering in the press box. That's usually an easy rule to follow, and the longer you're in the business, the easier it gets. But, as with every rule, there are exceptions. And Correll Buckhalter is one of them. That's why I enjoyed watching Buckhalter run over the San Francisco 49ers. It's not just because Buckhalter is a nice guy, which he is. It's not just because he's a hard worker, which he is. And it's not just because he's a terrific team player, which he is. More than anything, it's the adversity that Buckhalter has had to deal with throughout his career, and how he's handled that adversity, that makes him a special player and person. With All-Pro Brian Westbrook out of Sunday's game with fractured ribs, Buckhalter got a rare chance to play meaningful minutes and he made the most of it. He carried the ball 18 times for 93 yards and a touchdown and caught seven passes for 85 yards. Actually, that's not completely true -every minute Buckhalter plays is meaningful, because more than once it appeared his career was over. Not many players come back from one serious knee injury, much less three. Those injuries forced Buckhalter to miss three full seasons (2002, 2004 and 2005). They also forced him to go
through three grueling rehabilitations, toiling long hours apart from the rest of the team. Actually, that's not completely true, either. Buckhalter wasn't forced into anything. He chose to defy the odds, even though there was no guarantee he'd ever be healthy enough to play football again or that the Eagles would still want a running back who constantly broke down. So, credit coach Andy Reid, who stuck with Buckhalter through it all. Not all players get a second chance, much less a third. But Reid gave Buckhalter encouragement, hope and the most important thing of all -- time. "You know his personality," Reid said Monday. "He brings a great spirit to the team, and he's a good person and a lot of fun to be around. Then he goes out and he's tough. And every time that he has an opportunity to start he gets close to or above 100 yards, as long as we feed him the ball. He's a good player." Unfortunately for Buckhalter, he's stuck behind a great player. And Buckhalter knows that no matter how well he plays, no matter how many yards he churns out, no matter how many touchdowns he scores, he'll be back on the bench as soon as Westbrook returns. That's another harsh reality with which he's leaned to deal. And he accepts it -- to a point. "Whatever they give me, I'll just try to make the best of it," Buckhalter said Monday. "But it is tough. I mean, I'm human." Reid did throw him a bone Monday. When asked why Buckhalter isn't more involved in the offense even when Westbrook is healthy, Reid nodded his head.
"We rotated them before," Reid said. "I probably haven't done a good enough job with that with Buck. Buck's obviously a good football player." There's another reason why Buckhalter would like to play more -he's in the final year of his contract. And he knows that he's been productive enough to attract the attention of a team that might play him more.
Correll Buckhalter Feature
HIS FOCUS IS ON GAME AND HIS FAMILY By Bob Brookover Philadelphia Inquirer 9/28/08 Page 1 of 1 You probably already know some of the story. Correll Buckhalter lost three seasons to knee surgeries earlier in his career, and yet he remains a productive member of the Eagles' roster. The Eagles will probably ask for more from Buckhalter tonight against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field because star running back Brian Westbrook is hobbled by an ankle injury that has made his status questionable. There's a part of Buckhalter's story, however, that rarely if ever gets told. It's true he worked really hard to recover from the torn ACL to his left knee that cost him the 2002 season and the torn patellar tendons in his right knee that cost him the 2004 and 2005 seasons. The part that few people know about is that Buckhalter has rehabilitated more than his surgically repaired knees during his eight seasons with the Eagles. He has also transformed his approach to life. Buckhalter, who will turn 30 in eight days, admits that without that alteration, he'd probably be a former NFL player rather than a productive running back who believes with conviction that his best days in the league are ahead of him. "A party animal," is how Buckhalter described his demeanor during his first few seasons with the Eagles. "I was just like most rookies that come into the league," he said. "You're given a lot of money, and you just want to party and play football. Over the years, I've grown. What I was doing wasn't pleasing. It's just the same thing recycling itself when you're going out all the time. Now, I'm to the point in my life where I'm trying to be a faithful Christian. The old Buck would never have been able to get through the injuries." The transformation has not gone unno-
ticed by Buckhalter's veteran teammates who saw him come into the league as a "party animal" and now see a man determined to have a long, productive career. "The difference is tremendous," safety Brian Dawkins said. "You can even see it in his eating habits. When you talk to him, he's a very conscientious eater. He cares about what he's putting in his body so he is ready to play. He lost a lot of weight. He's not nearly as big as he was when he first got here, but he's still running with the same power and the same explosiveness." That power and explosiveness was on display a week ago when he got extra work in the final three quarters of the Eagles' win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Seven plays after Westbrook left with his ankle injury, Buckhalter caught a swing pass from quarterback Donovan McNabb, switched into fifth gear and went 20 yards for a touchdown, finishing the play by leaping over Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor at the 4yard line. "That top-end speed he had when he was younger and minus the knee surgeries, I wasn't sure that would return," Eagles coach Andy Reid said. "It looks like it's back now. I felt that way during training camp." Tackle Tra Thomas smiled when asked about the young Buckhalter. "He's matured a lot over the years," Thomas said. "Seeing him come in as a rookie and growing into the man he is now, it has been good to watch. He takes the game more seriously. He prepares better and gets ready for his job. When you come in at first, you just think it's a game. You don't think of it as, 'This is your living, and you're taking care of your family.' " Buckhalter thinks of things in those terms more than ever now because his wife Nikki gave birth to the couple's first child 17 days ago. "Correll Jr.," Buckhalter said. "He was born Sept. 11 at 11 p.m. It was life changing. Now, I really have somebody to depend on me. It feels good to know that I'm going to have the chance to raise a child spiritually and be able to share my wisdom with him. I want everything he
hears about me to be positive." Having lost his mother at 19 months old and having seen his brother Christopher, a former Eagles practice squad member, get locked away in the Mississippi State Penitentiary on a manslaughter conviction a decade ago, Buckhalter is finding plenty of things to be positive about as he approaches 30. When asked about his brother last week, he proudly announced that Christopher was due for release in mid-November, a fact confirmed by a prison clerk. "I don't know what his restrictions are going to be, but he said he was going to try to come see me play," Buckhalter said. "He has seen me play on TV, but it's different when somebody sees you in person." Buckhalter said his brother is a big reason why he has matured into a responsible adult who cares more about his craft than where the next party is taking place. "We were close growing up, and we're still close," he said. "He always shared advice with me. He always told me to keep pressing. Where we're from, we don't give up on nothing. We were taught to work hard, keep pressing and have faith in God. "My brother is a good person, but when he got to college, he kind of became a hard head, and we were always told that having a hard head makes a soft behind. That's why he ended up where he is now. It came from making bad decisions. I didn't want to end up like that."

BUCKING THE ODDS THROUGH INJURIES By John Smallwood Philadelphia Daily News 9/25/08 Page 1 of 1 CORRELL BUCKHALTER said he could not tell you how many times he has had his career written off in Philadelphia. He never paid attention to such things. And though he admits he sometimes thinks about what might have been had so many injuries not sidetracked his once-promising career, that is not a place he chooses to dwell. "It's in the past now," said the Eagles' running back, who has missed three full seasons due to knee injuries. "I have to look forward to what I can do now. "You can say, 'If this or if that,' but all of that is behind me now. It's what can I do now?" In the here and now, that might encompass Buckhalter, in his eighth season out of Nebraska, stepping in for Pro Bowl running back Brian Westbrook, who may not be able to go Sunday night at Chicago because of an ankle strain. Filling in when Westbrook got hurt against Pittsburgh last Sunday, Buckhalter rushed 10 times for 43 yards, with a long rush of 11 yards. His 20-yard catch-and-run, which he finished by leaping over defender Ike Taylor, was the only touchdown in the 15-6 victory, and it also brought back some visions of yesteryears from Buckhalter. As a rookie in 2001, Buckhalter ran for an Eagles rookie record of 586 yards, but his bright future suffered its first blow when he tore the anterior
cruciate ligament in his left knee during the first minicamp of 2002, and was lost for the season.
productive plays in the NFL - some spectacular, like his touchdown against Pittsburgh.
After rushing for 542 yards on 126 carries in 2003, Buckhalter missed both the 2004 and 2005 seasons because of a torn patellar tendon in his right knee.
"Two years ago, I may have been able to still out-run that guy, but I don't think I would've been able to jump like I did," he said. "I don't think my leg was to the point where I could have jumped like that.
By all NFL logic, Buckhalter's career should have been done. The career expectancy of a running back is short enough without having had three major knee surgeries in your first 5 years. But in the last two seasons as Westbrook's backup, Buckhalter has performed admirably whenever called on, totaling 658 yards on 145 carries and rushing for six touchdowns. In the first three games this season, Buckhalter has 12 carries for 48 yards and eight catches for 59 yards. "I'm proud of [Buckhalter]," said Eagles coach Andy Reid, who always has found a reason to keep Buckhalter when calls for a better backup where made. "He's battled, and now he looks like he's back to 'full' full speed. "Last year, I thought he was right about there, but that top-end speed he had when he was younger before the knee surgeries, I wasn't sure that it would return. It looks like it's back now. I felt that way during training camp." Buckhalter says he "absolutely" feels better than he has in a long time. "This is why I put in all the hard work in the offseason, training,'' he said. "It pays off. I feel like I'm faster than I was when I first came into the NFL." Whether that is true or not, the point is that Buckhalter, who will turn 30 on Oct. 6, is still quick enough, fast enough and explosive enough to make
"But at this point in my career, I feel great. I feel strong again. I feel young when I'm out there on the field, and I want to make plays whenever my number is called." With Westbrook's status day-to-day, Buckhalter may be in for minimal work as a backup or full-time work as the replacement. Regardless, he will prepare the way he has always prepared - as if he's going to be the man and get 20 to 30 touches. "I prepare myself during the week, and then the rest of it is just playing football," Buckhalter said. "When you know your assignments, you can go out and play competent football. "[Being the starter] is my mind-set every week. Obviously, I'm backing up Brian Westbrook, but when I'm out there in practice I try to do things as if I'm the starter." At a point where most running backs are running down, Buckhalter said the upside of his injuries is that his body does not feel the wear of seven NFL seasons. "When I hurt my [right] knee the second time in 2005, I was kind of in the dumps for a little bit, but it just made me want to work hard to prove that I could come back from an injury that people said might keep me from ever playing football again."

family. And after his dad died when he was 12, Castillo's mother, Juanita, found joy in fixing breakfast for her children before her 11-hour-a-day work shifts.
The tour to knowledge and self-fulfillment is cheap if you know how to scrimp. Juan Castillo didn't tell people this at first, that his hotel was the front seat of a Jeep, and the executive washroom was the $5-a-day showers at Gold's Gym. Crazy. That's what his banker used to call him when Castillo wanted to borrow money for gas and three daily meals at McDonald's so he could travel during his off weeks as a Division II football assistant.
He was embarrassed of her a little as a kid, because she was a maid. Now, at 48, he wells up when he thinks of her, her work ethic, and how she never got to see her son make it big.
He wasn't driving from Notre Dame to Washington to beg for jobs. He just wanted to learn from the best, take some film back home to Texas A&MKingsville, let a handful of others dream. "The thing about this story," Castillo says, "is it's not about me. This story is about (saying) 'Hey, Frank, Jose, Carlino … it can be done, man. Look at what this dude did. Ain't nobody give him nothing. He worked his butt off, slept in cars. Anything is possible.'"
Juan Castillo, the offensive line coach for the Philadelphia Eagles, wants other young men with Hispanic heritage to see they can live their dreams.
This story will be told in a rush. It is Cowboys-Eagles week, and Castillo, the offensive line coach for Philadelphia, is busy. He sleeps in more sophisticated places now, like on the couch in his office. He is, no doubt, beyond the imagination of his parents who crossed into the United States from Mexico as teenagers. Happiness, for them, was feeding the
Castillo, the Eagles say, is one of just two coaches in the NFL of Hispanic descent. (The other is San Diego Chargers linebackers coach Ron Rivera.) Castillo is here, mainly, because he had his mother's persistence. When his friends laughed at him the summer before his senior year of high school, after he said he'd make all-state, Castillo came home most nights, after working two jobs, and carried a table from the living room to the yard. That would be his weight bench, and he'd lift and run for two hours. When Division I schools snubbed him for coaching jobs, Castillo kept traveling in his spare time to learn from offensive-line gurus like Howard Mudd and Joe Moore. Castillo's work helped Texas A&MKingsville churn out four NFL offensive linemen, and landed Castillo in the league in 1995. "Without him, there's no way I would've made it," says Jermane Mayberry, a former Pro Bowl guard who played for Castillo in Kingsville and Philadelphia. "He saw something in me." Castillo grew up in Port Isabel, Texas, a town in which everything hinged on high school football and the Dallas Cowboys. On Friday night, it shut down to watch the boys play. Castillo loved the way the town rallied around the team. He won't lie about it -- he
went to college to play football, not to learn biology. He wrote an essay about how he wanted to go to college, and earned a $500 scholarship to A&M-Kingsville, which was then called Texas A&I. After two seasons as a special-teams player in the USFL, it became obvious to Castillo that his only football future was in coaching. He was an assistant at Kingsville High, then went back to A&M-Kingsville as the offensive line coach.
Castillo has been with the Eagles since 1995, and is in his 11th season as offensive line coach. His practices, today, would go against NCAA regulations. If the team was supposed to start at 3:45, Castillo wanted his linemen working at 3. They'd also work on conditioning after the rest of the team had left for the night. Castillo would lift and run with his players. "We used to talk about how our line was better than the University of Texas' offensive line," Castillo says. "People would look at me back then and say I was crazy, but my guys believed they were better. Maybe we were." In 1996, Mayberry became a firstround draft pick for the Eagles. In high school, he was a complete unknown from a tiny Texas town called Floresville. Mayberry had just two options going into the final game of his senior year, and they both involved junior colleges in West Texas. "As far as techniques, I was as raw as raw gets," Mayberry says. "I never really lifted weights or anything. I did not even have a good game; I just

Mayberry struggled when he first got to Philadelphia, playing several positions before nailing down a spot at right guard. Castillo, Mayberry says, was loyal but didn't treat him any differently because of their history in Kingsville. In 2002, when Mayberry made the Pro Bowl, Castillo said it was "one of the best days of my life." Though Mayberry is retired, he still talks to Castillo every couple of weeks. "He is a rare person," Mayberry says. "To know him is to love him." Castillo spent nearly an hour, during Cowboys week, talking about his past. He doesn't want to forget about it. It's too much of who he is in the present. "I was blessed better than a lot of people," he says. "What you learned is work ethic. That's what I remember from my mom, how hard she worked and how caring she was. So I wanted to be somebody. "I remember people laughing when I used to tell them I wanted to coach in the NFL. You've got to believe. Here, you've got a chance."
Brent Celek Feature
CELEK HAS BECOME TARGET BIRDS NEEDED AT TIGHT END By JACK McCAFFERY Delco Times 1/12/09 Page 1 of 1 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. —- Somewhere on the Eagles’ list of conclusions at the end of the regular seasons was this: Something had to change if they were to thrive in the postseason. Something did. Brent Celek became a go-to, big-play, West Coast offense, pass-catching, point-producing tight end exactly when the Birds could afford nothing less. After catching a team-high six passes for 56 yards in the Birds’ playoff opener in Minnesota, Celek snagged a game-defining fourth-quarter touchdown pass from Donovan McNabb Sunday as the Eagles moved into the NFL semifinals with a 2311 triumph over the New York Giants. The 1-yard reception in the left corner of the end zone was one of three Celek receptions, good for 12 yards. That’s two playoff games, 12 receptions, two victories and one vital new Eagles weapon. “I am pretty comfortable right now,” Celek said. “It think today I could have played a little better. I had a few mess-ups in there. But overall, I think I am improving as the year has gone on. And I just hope to get better and keep contributing to this team.” A second-year pro from the University of Cincinnati, Celek had flashed signs this season that he was about to dislodge injury-riddled L.J. Smith as McNabb’s most effective tight-end target. In the Birds’ necessary 44-6 victory over Dallas on the final day of the season, Celek caught a 1-yard TD pass. Earlier, in a 26-7 triumph in Seattle, he had the statistically best day by an Eagles tight end since Pete Retzlaff in 1965, gaining 131 receiving yards. As offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said during the season, “He’ll continue to get better for some time here.”
Some time is now. “All I can say is that I have put in the hard work and the preparation,” Celek said. “I have always done that and I will continue to do that.” For immediate purposes, he has only to do that for another two games —- the semifinal match Sunday in Arizona, and then, the Birds hope, the Super Bowl. “We are so excited,” Celek said. “We can’t look past Arizona, but we know that is the game to get us to the Super Bowl. This is what you dream of when you are a kid. So it is definitely time to get excited. Now, we get to go to Arizona, which is a little warmer place. But that’s our dream, to get to the Super Bowl.” The Eagles can achieve that now —- but may not have been so fortunate had not Celek surfaced in January as the passcatcher they expected when they made him a fifth-round draft choice in 2007. “We’ve talked about this before —- even last year and early this season,” Mornhinweg said last week. “Brent Celek is a heck of a football player. He’s consistent in everything he does and very dependable. And then he has some skill and ability. He has not surprised anybody on our staff because we expected that from him.” They expected it, too, from Smith, which is why they designated the veteran as a “franchise” player.” And Smith did chip in two catches Sunday for 12 yards, McNabb spreading the ball to five receivers. But when the Birds had a chance to add to a 13-11 lead — and send a good portion of the assembled 79,193 home early Sunday —- McNabb found Celek in the end zone. “This is a team sport and we all go as the team goes,” Celek said. “So we had a good win in Minnesota, and it carried over until this week.” It was Celek’s team-first mentality that kept him ready when circumstances —and his good hands —- left him as the Birds’ starting postseason tight end.
“You always want to be on the field,” he said. “But you just do whatever is best for the team. If that is coming in on certain downs and blocking, that’s what you do. Or if it is running certain routes, that is your role. Same if you are starting; if you are starting, that’s your role. Right now, I am just doing what Coach (Andy) Reid and the other coaches want me to do.” They wanted him —- they wanted anybody —- to be a consistent tight end in difficult single-elimination circumstances. So, Brent Celek has. “Today, we made a few adjustments at halftime and started playing better as an offense,” he said. “We started executing a little bit better. Now, we move on and we know that we have to take it one game at a time. But as a team, we are confident right now.” Especially since their list of concerns has been reduced by one.
Chris Clemons Feature
EAGLES' CLEMONS OVERCOMES PAINFUL PAST By MARCUS HAYES Philadelphia Daily News 12/31/08 Page 1 of 2 WITH EVERY STEP toward the end zone Chris Clemons ran farther from a past fraught with obstacles, with injury, with poverty and tragedy. As Clemons chugged along, football cradled, a fumble recovered at his feet, a clinching touchdown 73 yards away clinching a win, clinching a playoff spot - it was as if his past was dissolving around him. He ran from that day more than a decade ago when his grandmother, Evelyn, "Grandmama" to the children of her 15 kids, was hit by a car walking home from her job in a cloth mill. Clemons was playing street football nearby. He heard the tires squeal. He ran from nights spent cold and dark and hungry, the electricity cut off in his home in Griffin, Ga., no money coming in, his mother Mattie sometimes working two jobs. He ran from being undrafted coming out of Georgia, wallowing in obscurity with Washington for four seasons. He ran from a 2003 torn labrum (all season), a 2004 hamstring pull (10 games) and a 2005 knee ligament tear that cost him the last two games of 2005 and all of 2006. He ran from his first, awful Eagles training camp, when, in August, the team became exasperated with him after signing him to a 5-year, $12 million contract - his arrival deal. He went to the hospital, dehydrated. He fought through a calf injury. He was unprepared. "The things I went through . . . " Clemons said, his hands in his pock-
ets, his head lowered a little. "It took time." It took until Sunday. Clemons, finally, was part of the crystallization of Jim Johnson's 2008 defense that routed the Cowboys in the 44-6 win. It took Clemons half a season to get a chance, then another month to pay the dividends that led the Eagles to sign him. Clemons' return less than 4 minutes into the third quarter made it 34-3. It took him 27 hard years to reach that end zone. See, it wasn't just "Grandmama" getting hit by the car on Dec. 10, 1994. It was Grandmama lying in a coma for a month before meeting her reward. It was Grandmama's mama, Josie Andrews, dying of a heart attack a week after the accident, dying while her child lay dying, dying a week before Christmas Day, her daughter to follow on the ninth day of the New Year. "It was harder for the young 'uns," Mattie said yesterday from her home, still in Griffin. That's because the boys slept at their mother's place, a block away from Evelyn's, but they did their living at Grandmama's. Mattie was an old 31, the sixth of Evelyn's 15 children, but she wasn't ready for her new life. Not with 13-year-old Chris and 14year-old Nic and no man to help raise these big, dangerous boys. Mattie moved into Evelyn's apartment and watched Nic drop out of high school and saw herself sinking, the waitress jobs not enough, the move up to the cotton mill not much better.
"My mom was like the ultimate mom," Mattie said. "That's when I really had to grow up. She was a safety net. She was our backbone. She had my back. Every time the lights went out, she always helped get 'em back on." Now, Chris and Nic keep the lights on. Nic got his GED. He followed Chris to Georgia, joined Chris as an undrafted success story with the Redskins in 2003. He was cut out of training camps in 2006 and 2007 and considered quitting the game but a switch from end to tackle this season with the Broncos seems to have given him new life in the league. When Mattie got laid off in April, she found herself not worried about the electric bill but looking through course lists; the boys sent her to college. "We've got a deal: They say if I keep my grades up, I don't have to worry about looking for a job," she said. When she turned 45 in March, Chris gave her a new white 2008 Honda Accord. She declined the BMW and Lexus and the new house, too. She's in the same apartment on Jackson Road that she moved into 10 years ago; she'll take a house, she says, when the boys are more settled, more successful. To think: Fourteen years ago, death and poverty, a Christmas she says she literally cannot recall through the grief. "That was kind of a Christmas lost. This has been one of the less worrisome years," she said. So far, she said her biggest concern: "I thought he was going to pass out at the 10."
Chris Clemons Feature
EAGLES' CLEMONS OVERCOMES PAINFUL PAST By MARCUS HAYES Philadelphia Daily News 12/31/08 Page 2 of 2
"That's what we have him here," said defenisve end Darren Howard. "I was glad he got to show his skill and his talent on this kind of stage." Howard was part of that stage.
His teammates saw this coming, right? "No, not really," said linemate Juqua Parker. True, Clemons logged eight sacks as a 1-year free agent with the Raiders in 2007. He has four with the Birds - but two came Sunday, one of which forced a fumble later in the third quarter.
Brian Dawkins delayed his blitz, cut in behind Akeem Jordan, caught Tony Romo as Romo cocked to fire. Ball on the ground, right at Clemons' feet - a gift, at last. And then the faithful at Lincoln Financial Field witnessed the remnants of the 4.43, 40-yard dash speed Clemons flashed as a junior at Georgia.
But, no, this did not seem inevitable. Clemons was soundly outplayed by doomed bust Jerome McDougle in training camp. There is no better way to find the back of the Eagles' doghouse than to be a slow-learning, out-of-shape first-timer in training camp. Head coach Andy Reid and defensive coordinator Jim Johnson take that sort of thing personally. "It was my fault what happened in training camp," Clemons said. "I didn't come into camp in the shape I should have been in. Andy had to do what he had to do. Jim had to do what he had to do." What Clemons had to do was wait. Finally, in midseason, desperate for more quarterback pressure, Johnson began to play ends only on passing downs. That meant Clemons, suddenly, was on the field, either as the left end opposite Trent Cole or as the "joker" a hybrid linebacker/end who usually rushes the passer from a standing position.
"I knew I couldn't outrun everybody," said Clemons, who caught a 57-yard bomb as a high school tight end, his previous longest scoring play. "I just waited for my blockers. Once you've got blockers, your 40 time doesn't matter." As Howard noted, the blockers were little more than ornamental for Clemons. Tashard Choice still caught him. Clemons stiff-armed Choice, who dropped like a bad memory. Asked if he watched himself rumble down the sideline on the scoreboard video screen, Clemons scoffed: "I wasn't looking for the JumboTron. I was looking for the goal line." When there is so much in front of him, why look back?
Trent Cole Feature
COLE HELPS DEFENSE CRUSH GIANTS By Ray Parrillo Philadelphia Inquirer 12/8/08 Page 1 of 1 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - It was time to eat, and no one on the Eagles' defense seemed as hungry as Trent Cole. There was only one selection on the menu - Eli Manning - when the New York Giants, facing a wind stiffer than Andy Reid's upper lip, had a crucial fourth-and-1 situation with 91/2 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter and the Eagles in front, 17-7. "You know, that's when it's time to eat," Cole said yesterday in the buoyant visitors' locker room at Giants Stadium after the Eagles kept their season meaningful with a 20-14 win over the NFC East leaders. "And we're going to pin our ears back and go." Manning dropped back to pass, but Cole, with help from Darren Howard, quickly took away his time and space as he tried to look downfield for a receiver. The pressured Manning's pass fluttered to the turf, and the game, in effect, was decided. The Eagles took over on downs, and David Akers kicked a 34-yard field goal to make it 20-7 with 2 minutes, 9 seconds left. Cole said the Eagles knew Manning would try to throw for the first down rather than run, even though the wind at times made the football float unpredictably like a Wiffle ball. But intuition wasn't all Cole had going for himself on a day when he was the main disruptive force in a clutch defensive effort. In the first quarter, the defensive end stopped Derrick Ward on a second-and-1 play, and two downs later, the Giants were punting. In the second quarter, he blocked a 47-yard field-goal attempt by New
York's John Carney. "I've been looking for a block for a long time because they put me in a position to get a block, and it happened today," Cole said. "It was planned out. Rory [Segrest, the special-teams coach] thought we could get it done because of the way their protection blocks, and it worked out as planned." After the game, Cole and the rest of the defensive linemen were tucked away in a corner, and it was the most joyous part of the locker room. They had avenged an embarrassment. The last time they played the Giants, the defending Super Bowl champions steamrollered through them for 219 yards rushing. The Giants' superb offensive line had had its way with them, and it left them angry and humiliated. Cole said the physical pounding the Giants' line gave them last month, not to mention the Eagles' being in desperation mode for the rest of the season, was on their minds all week. "You know, it was about being the hammer instead of the nail," he said after the Eagles limited the Giants to 88 yards on the ground. "It was about penetrating, holding off their blocks, and keeping gap control. We made some adjustments. "There's a defensive coordinator there [former Eagles assistant Steve Spagnuolo] who knows our defense because they run a similar defense to ours," Cole said. "It was a matter of what defense was more determined to beat the men across from you. "We were stopping the run and getting off the field, that's what kind of defense we want to be - get off after three downs and put the offense in good field position." Victor Abiamiri, part of the defensive-
line rotation used by Jim Johnson, paused when asked what he thought of Cole's performance. "He's a beast," he said. But Cole knows that as impressive as yesterday's win was, the Eagles still have no margin for error in their hope of grabbing a wild-card spot in the playoffs. "Our backs are against the wall," he said. "Our goal is to win every game the rest of the season and hope for the best, hope something great happens in the end. We came here and played for pride and to let everybody know we're still one of the best teams in our conference."
Trent Cole Feature
COLE HAS MANNING, WHITETAIL DEER IN HIS SIGHTS By Matt Mosley ESPN.com 11/6/08 Page 1 of 1 Eagles defensive end Trent Cole has been hunting whitetail deer since he was in fourth grade. But he waited until junior high to start hunting quarterbacks. He's been flying under the national radar since entering the league as a fifth-round pick out of Cincinnati in 2005. But opposing offensive tackles and tight ends don't need an introduction. Cole briefly lost his starting job in 2006 to the pricey Darren Howard, but that didn't last long. When the equally overrated Jevon Kearse went down with an injury, Cole replaced him in the lineup for good. And on Dec. 17 of that season, the former high school running back stepped in front of an Eli Manning pass and returned it 19 yards for a touchdown. The play happened in the Meadowlands, and Cole's reputation began to grow around the league. When we talked via phone Thursday morning, he admitted that he still draws inspiration from that interception in the Meadowlands. "Yeah, that was pretty nice," said the softspoken Cole. "It was a great feeling and it's something that gave me a lot of confidence." When he arrived in Cincinnati, Cole was 6foot-3, 230 pounds. He started out as a nose tackle in 2002, and he recalls giving up 100 pounds to players from Ohio State and West Virginia.
about his "alternate" status. This season, Cole is commanding a lot more attention, and he's been held to three sacks. But instead of pressing, he continues to work on his all-around game. He led all NFC defensive ends in tackles last season with 103 and has 49 tackles through eight games in 2008.
But before you get PETA on the line, you should know that Cole stresses his respect for hunting rules and regulations. From his point of view, he's doing his part to help control the animal population in southern Ohio. And you could certainly think of a worse holiday for shooting rabbits.
"That's something I take a lot of pride in," he said. "Teams don't run to my side out of respect. I never wanted to be looked at as a specialist."
Cole went to Illinois in search of whitetail deer during the Eagles' bye week, but this weekend he'll be hunting Manning (sans the bow).
Cole brings that same type of approach to his other passion, hunting whitetail deer -and pretty much anything else that calls Ohio home. Nicknamed "The Hunter," by his teammates, the player owns a company called Cole Outdoor Productions that brings "stunning videos into your living room."
He'll encounter obstacles such as Giants left tackle David Diehl and tight end Kevin Boss along the way, because his days of seeing one-on-one blocking are over. As former Eagles defensive end Hugh Douglas informed him in 2005, Cole has to stay low and use his quickness to compensate for his relatively small frame for a defenseive end.
Cole's uncle, Jerry, has been a National Bowhunter Association instructor and he serves as a member of his nephew's production staff. The defensive end owns four farms in southern Ohio, where he does most of his hunting. In addition to his "addiction to pursuing whitetails," Cole's hunted quail, pheasant, wild boar, coyote and water fowl. When he was in Hawaii for the Pro Bowl, he joined Patriots linemen Matt Light and Logan Mankins on a wildboar hunt. Cole came away with a 250pound boar. Not to catch you off guard, but the 26year-old Cole is single. He said he's taken dates hunting before just to see how they'd react. "They need to know up front what I'm about," Cole joked. "I don't want to hide the ball on them."
"They would look at me, look at each other and just start laughing," he said. "Then I'd wear them out all afternoon. They kept asking me to slow down for a couple of plays."
On Thanksgiving Day each year, the men in the Cole family go rabbit-hunting together. It's usually a party of six, and they rarely come home empty-handed.
Cole's coming off a breakout season in which he finished with 12.5 sacks and replaced Seahawks defensive end Patrick Kerney in the Pro Bowl. He said it was an exciting moment, but he wasn't happy
"There ain't no secret to shootin' a rabbit," he explained. "You just better be able to shoot straight. You have to lead them a little. After when we're done, a lot of people offer us money for rabbits, but we just hand them out for free."
"I need to be low when I turn the corner," he said. "You have to bull-rush a couple of times, and then try to run past the tackle." Redskins tight end Chris Cooley has told me before that Cole is his least favorite player to block because he refuses to take a play off. I'm sure there are some whitetails in southern Ohio who know the feeling.

COLE READY TO BUILD ON PRO BOWL EXPERIENCE By GEOFF MOSHER The News Journal 4/13/08 Page 1 of 1 PHILADELPHIA -- Thousands of miles away, across the Pacific Ocean, Trent Cole felt right at home. He was in Oahu in February, about to partake in his first Pro Bowl. Cole, an admitted hunting junkie who often rises at 4 a.m. in the offseason to hit the backwoods about seven times a week, had no problem adjusting to the tropics. While most of his counterparts hit the beaches and golf courses, the Eagles' Pro Bowl defensive end bagged wild boar with Patriots offensive linemen Matt Light and Logan Mankins and reeled in tuna with Cleveland left tackle Joe Thomas and 49ers rookie linebacker Patrick Willis. A self-described country bumpkin, Cole did hit the beach for some snorkeling, but only in small doses. "That was some deep stuff," Cole said recently after a workout at the NovaCare Complex. "I can't stay too long." Cole said he had a blast, and maybe that helped erase some lingering resentment he felt about
originally being left off the NFC roster. Cole, who got to Hawaii by being an alternate, was visibly angry when the roster was announced and didn't have his name on it. If he felt cheated by his fellow NFL players and coaches, whose votes make up the majority of the selection process, Cole attracted his share of accolades from Pro Bowl brethren during his stay in Hawaii. He remembers being told he belonged there. He even drew high praise from the Super Bowl champion Giants. "Lots of people did [praised him]," said Cole, whose 12.5 sacks tied for third in the NFC. "Osi [Umenyiora], [Michael] Strahan." The whole scene gave Cole a sense of place among the game's best. He walked among the elite, and said he felt comfortable. He felt like he was meant to be there, not like an overwhelmed former fifth-round draft pick from a mid-major program (Cincinnati) lucky to be among titans. "I don't know if people know, but you come back from the Pro Bowl excited," he said. "Knowing that you're with the best in the league and it's never going to go away and it's written in stone that you're a Pro Bowler. That's nice. And when you come off a Pro Bowl, it
makes it a lot more exciting and fun to play." But Cole still feels a tinge of emptiness that comes with being an alternate. His objective is to be regarded as the league's best defensive end, a tough mountain to climb in a division -- let alone a conference -- with some outstanding pass rushers. Say this for the fourth-year pro: Cole hasn't let one Pro Bowl honor satisfy his drive to become the best. "I want every sack, I want every tackle. If I can do something for my team -- cause another fumble -- that's what I'm there for," he said. "I want to make sure my part is done to help the team out. That's why I work hard every time. I want to be the best."

IT'S BEST TO STAY OUT OF DAWKINS' WAY By GEOFF MOSHER The News Journal 1/8/09 Page 1 of 1 PHILADELPHIA -- He doesn't score acrobatic touchdowns that appear nightly on ESPN. He doesn't have long, flowing locks that billow from underneath his helmet. Brian Dawkins can't match the stats and airplay generated by Ed Reed and Troy Polamalu -- two of the NFL's most spectacular safeties and candidates for defensive player of the year. But there isn't an Eagles teammate or coach who believes anyone can match Dawkins' tenacity. It's not just remarkable. It's legendary. "There's a transformation," linebacker Omar Gaither said. "He comes out of a booth like Clark Kent." "I don't have a word for it," added Chris Gocong, another linebacker awed by Dawkins' presence. "It's crazy." Last week, Dawkins admitted that his energy level in the postseason surges to uncontrollable heights. Very literally, he talks himself back to earth during the week, waiting until game day to unleash the fury within. "That was pretty evident the first game I played with him," said Sean Considine, Dawkins' backup. "You just see how he goes about his business -- real calm and cool throughout the week. He's about the opposite on game day. You kind of learn quickly -- game day, don't bug him, stay out of his way, let him get in the zone and he's going to bust
through that tunnel and put on a show." For the second time in three years, the Eagles' playoff drive begins with the franchise's leader in games played and one of the NFL's most consistent playmakers at his position. In his past five games, Dawkins has racked up tackles, returned an interception 25 yards and forced four fumbles. Two of those fumbles were returned by teammates for touchdowns. Maybe that's the difference between Dawkins and some of his younger, more marketable peers. Reed and Polamalu make their own highlights. Dawkins, now 35, creates them for his teammates. "He's amazing. I really admire the way he and Rodney Harrison play," Polamalu said. "They play the game play in and play out and they play the game really hard, and there's no hesitation with either one of them." Dawkins' one interception doesn't stack up against Reed's nine or Polamalu's seven. His sack and forced fumble last Sunday in the wild-card round against Minnesota pale in comparison to Reed's over-the-shoulder, Willie Mays-style interception and 64-yard touchdown return in Baltimore's win against Miami, But Dawkins takes pride in helping the position evolve to the level Reed and Polamalu have achieved. Polamalu and Reed racked up 16 interceptions and more than 300 return yards combined during the regular season. "I definitely feel good about it, knowing that there is no longer a safety that is looked upon as a deep-middle guy who doesn't have an effect on the
play," Dawkins said Wednesday. "They want to play the safety position, because they see it as a position where they can actually cause havoc back there -- roam a little bit, come up and blitz every once in a while, and come up and stuff the run if they have the heart to do it." Eagles coach Andy Reid compared Dawkins' blend of all-world talent and blue-collar work ethic to Ronnie Lott, the 49ers Hall of Fame safety who once chopped off half his battered pinkie -- during a game -- to keep playing. Dawkins' combination of 66 forced fumbles and interceptions is tops in the NFL since 1996. His 21 career sacks are fourth-most by any defensive back in NFL history. And he's one of four players ever to have at least 30 interceptions and 20 sacks. But the playoffs have always been his mantle. His four postseason interceptions are sixth among active players -Harrison's seven lead the way, and Reed's five are tied for fourth. "He's as tough as you can imagine," Reid said. "I've got a lot of guys that love to play the game, but I would say that there's nobody that loved to play as much as him. He loves every part of the game. "You can tell by the way he comes out of that tunnel that when it's time to go, it's time to go. You have to love that from a coaching standpoint, and I know his fellow players respect him for that."

VETERAN SAFETY DAWKINS LEADS EAGLES BY WORD AND DEED By Thomas George NFL.com 1/2/09 Page 1 of 2 PHILADELPHIA -- The first locker in the right corner of the Eagles' locker room belongs to Brian Dawkins. His teammates know where to find it. Dawkins has become a part of their conscience and inspiration. And since no current athlete in the Philadelphia sports landscape has been around as long and been as true as Dawkins, many Eagles fans view him as family, too. Several Eagles say Dawkins is a huge part of why the team rose from a 5-5-1 record and the second-half benching of quarterback Donovan McNabb on Nov. 23 in Baltimore to win four of their final five games and reach the playoffs. When Philadelphia visits the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday in an NFC Wild-Card Game, many Eagles will look to this man of character and deed as a force to drive them to victory. Dawkins is 35. He's in his 13th NFL season -- all with the Eagles, all at safety. He recently was selected to his seventh Pro Bowl. Eagles running back Lorenzo Booker reflected several of his teammates' sentiments when he said: "You still have that burning desire as a player to win. But here is a guy in Brian Dawkins who makes you feel that even more. His credibility is flawless. You want to win for all of your teammates. But we want to win for him in an individual way, to get him that ring that he richly deserves." Some Eagles described Dawkins as being like a mentor, a friend, an uncle, a cousin -- even a father.
And this from wide receiver Jason Avant: "He is a big brother to me, the person I am closest to on the team. The best thing that's happened to us is having him here during the roughest times." All the Eagles feed off Brian Dawkins - his spirit, his soul, his faith and his talent. "And the thing I respect most about him, that I can identify with him in, is he told me that in his first couple of years, he struggled, that he was not walking in his faith like he should have been and showed me how he grew as he encouraged me to grow," Eagles rookie safety Quintin Demps said. "He said he was on the other side of the fence in his first couple of years here. That really touched me. That helped me realize this man is real." Real. Humble. Not so righteous that he can't remember his rookie season, 1996, when he contemplated suicide. "I had suicidal thoughts for most of my rookie year," Dawkins said. "I fought an entire year of depression. I was on medication for the year. "I had a lot, so much going on. I was a young man, newly married, a new father with an infant son, family issues, money issues. I had temper problems. My mouth was not what it should have been. I was drinking. A lot of rookie expectations to fit in and perform. I was a person who didn't know how to handle it. "And then a couple of years into my career, I made the decision to get serious about my relationships with God and start to think about everything I do and everything I say being a reflection of Him. I'm not perfect. But I've grown so much there, and I hope that is what people see. And as far as the football, well, there is a passion that
burns within me for the competition, a hunger and thirst I think we all have here for this game and this playoff opportunity. It came so hard that we appreciate it. We know exactly what it is -- an opportunity and a chance to do something special with it." Dawkins spoke in measured tones, in measured speed. He walked slowly and purposefully at the Eagles' practice facility. He said he was conserving his energy. This is a player, a man, who understands that something within him always has been on fire. "I know me," Dawkins said. "I am really working hard to stay centered this week. It is very easy for me to get over-excited and play the playoff game before it's even been played, know what I mean? I am taking everything in a slow, one-step-at-a-time pace for right now. If I don't, I'll be spent before kickoff." Dawkins has a knack for blowing up offenses and making game-swinging and/or game-winning plays. He has done it throughout his career. But in April 2007, his twin daughters were born two months premature, causing Dawkins to miss much of his offseason regimen and, along with injuries, translated into a subpar season. While others pondered his retirement, Dawkins insisted he would return. No way he would go out like that, he said. And he returned to find himself in the midst of a 5-5-1 season in which McNabb was benched. "The Baltimore game was the low," Dawkins said. "It was a real low point for the organization and the team. We had to do something to quickly propel ourselves from that. And I knew I had to do something to help move the

Dawkins said he didn't meet with coach Andy Reid or have extensive chats with defensive coordinator Jim Johnson. "I had some conversations with Donovan," Dawkins said. "I had some with my teammates. "Donovan is a guy who cares a lot. He may not present it, but he cares a lot. He wants to please. That isn't always possible. I think he wonders sometimes why some of the same questions are being asked about him that were asked when he was a rookie, as if he hasn't answered at least some of those things. I made sure he and our teammates understood that this is something he cannot do by himself, that getting this team straightened out and winning again wasn't something we would let him try to do by himself. It may be Donovan's team, but he isn't the team." Makes you wonder if the Broncos, Cowboys, Buccaneers or Bears would have flopped in their Week 17 playoff pushes had Dawkins been in their midst. Makes you wonder if the Eagles would have reached the postseason without him. Dawkins' two forced fumbles led to two returns for touchdowns in Philadelphia's playoffclinching 44-6 victory over Dallas last Sunday. He's the NFL's Defensive Player of the Month for December. With his territory enlarged, his season prolonged, Dawkins heads to Minnesota knowing that each playoff game could be his last with the Eagles. His contract expires after this season.
He wants to stay. He'll play elsewhere if he must. At least one more year. Maybe two. Maybe more. He's proud that during the worst of times, the Eagles didn't slam each other, point fingers and make things nasty. He said players now know their roles and the team has jelled, just in time. "I have seen a lot, been through a lot in this league, and it would be selfish for me to keep that wisdom to myself," Dawkins said. "Every year, guys get younger, and every year, I get older, but that means nothing to me. We're teammates and family who have come together to play our best football now. We'll see where that takes us."

ABOVE ALL, PASSION MAKES DAWKINS AN EAGLES FAN FAVORITE By Rich Hofmann Philadelphia Daily News 1/2/09 Page 1 of 1 DONOVAN McNABB, the quarterback, is the leader by definition. Brian Westbrook, the running back, is the most irreplaceable single piece. As the Eagles take the field on Sunday afternoon against the Minnesota Vikings, these are just two of the roles that will be played. Trent Cole is the relentless one. DeSean Jackson is the precocious one. Jon Runyan is the time-worn warrior. Tra Thomas is the matter-of-fact pro. These are the ways we identify people, these and many others. For fans of this team, preparing for an unexpected playoff run, when they look down from the stands or into their television screens, that is what they see. And when they look at Brian Dawkins, what they see is themselves. Thirteen years. It is a long time to be carrying a municipal legacy onto the field every week. It is forever, in many ways and Dawkins will be a forever kind of player for this franchise, cherished, remembered, all of that, long after the No. 20 is put away. Part of it is because he has been so good, a seven-time Pro Bowler, the best safety in the history of the franchise. Part of it is because of how hard he hits people, how he just pulverizes them, even now. Long after the details are forgotten, the visceral remains. You wince when Dawkins really launches himself at somebody. That is what people will always remember - the wince, and then the wow. But it is more than that - and, no, not that ridiculous, indescribable routine he goes through when he emerges from the tunnel and goes onto the field. It is simpler than that. It is visible passion, visible to all. No Eagles fan can possibly doubt that Dawkins cares more than they do. That's it. That is the connection between a man and a city. That is the bond. "It makes me feel good, it really does,"
Dawkins said the other day, when the subject came up. "Because . . . I kind of know what they feel for the most part. Now, obviously, I haven't been here all my life, but I've been around here long enough to understand how bad they want another championship here, especially football, and how passionate they are about it and the attitude they have as far as not being ashamed to speak their mind, not being ashamed to have a good time, and really, having a you-give-everything-you've-got mentality. Whatever it is, you give what you've got." It is the attitude that Philadelphia applauds above all else. The rest of it is just stats. Caring, and showing that you care, makes up for a lot of errors in this city. And when caring is joined with Hall of Fame-level talent - and Dawkins has just that, whatever the safety-hating voters for Canton ultimately decide - the combination is impossible to beat around here. It manifests itself in any number of ways. On Dawkins' side, one of the neatest things he has done recently is give two tickets to home games to a high school player chosen for his work on the field and in the classroom, and for his overall character. After the games, you can see Dawkins seeking out the kids in the hallway outside of the locker room to talk. But it isn't only that. Every time Dawkins opens his mouth, he makes another connection. Just listen to him talking about the mental preparation for a playoff game: "I think the thing that [changes], for me anyway, is containing my emotions," he said. "Not playing the game too soon, and trying to bottle all that energy up and unleashing at the right time, that's the toughest thing for me. Other than that, you kind of go about your normal way of doing things in preparation for the game. If you've done what you're supposed to have done during the season, you shouldn't have to change anything as far as preparation and watching more film and all the stuff. You should have been doing that the whole time." He says they have been playing in playoff games for a month now, and that is about
right. That Dawkins has turned it up during this time is a grand personal trait. He has done it before, just like this, coming on late to silence the doubts about his battle with the calendar. In 2006, for instance exact same scenario as now. There are things he cannot do as well anymore, which he acknowledges. But there is so much more that he still does. When he was struggling in coverage early in the season, he took the whispers and the doubts as a challenge. Somewhere, you would hope he could appreciate that he might be the only player in recent memory around here whose failings prompt concern among the people, not boos. Because he is them and they are him. And when he was exhorting on the crowd last Sunday before the Dallas game, well, listen: "I figured it was going to be a very tough, tough-fought ballgame, and [I was] just very excited about the opportunity and appreciating the fans at the same time, appreciating for everything that they had helped me through, and been criticized at times, absolutely, but at the same time we've had a great time partying and just saluting them for that," Dawkins said. "It's kind of a cliche for me to say it now, but I give everything that I have. I am a blessed individual, so I sometimes dig down deeper than just myself to have called upon some more strength and I lay it out there." It is what Philadelphia has always seen.

DAWKINS' REVIVAL IS ONE FOR THE AGES By Ashley Fox Philadelphia Inquirer 1/1/09 Page 1 of 1 He was too old. Had to be. Too many violent collisions, too much adrenaline used, too many miles on those old dogs to be the player the Eagles needed. A 35-year-old free safety? Really, who plays that position at that age at a high level after essentially 12 seasons of nonstop football? Not even Brian Dawkins. Couldn't happen. He is a madman, his on-field demeanor the antithesis of his gentle, polite, goodnatured way off the field. But early this season, it looked as if the years and the hits had finally taken their toll. Dawkins looked done - slow, tired, cooked. Fans were torn, dizzy even. Dawkins is beloved because he's crazy on the field, because he plays as if every game could be his last, because he gives every ounce of energy he has. He has long been the leader of the defense, directing traffic from the back, infecting his teammates with a tireless commitment to trying to win every play, not just every game. But if Dawkins couldn't go, if he couldn't run fast enough or cover well enough or hit hard enough, what good was he? He would fall, as so many before him, off the roster and into the NFL abyss. Like Jeremiah Trotter. And Hugh Douglas. And Bobby Taylor. And Duce Staley. And . . . Early this season, Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Johnson was worried. He wouldn't admit it at the time, but Johnson saw the nagging injuries, the missed tackles, the slower feet, and he, too, wondered whether Dawkins' lengthy tenure here might be nearing its completion. It had been a good run, but maybe it was time. Maybe it was over. Maybe the Eagles had squeezed every last drop of production out of the kid from Jacksonville, Fla., whom they drafted in
the second round in 1996 out of Clemson. And then, with the questions and criticisms mounting, Dawkins turned it around, defied gravity and Father Time and even his body. Maybe it was his faith that pulled him through, for Dawkins is a religious man, a prayerful man, a man who believes in God. Maybe it was his body's reaction to Dawkins' maniacal preparation in the gym. Or maybe he just wasn't ready for this to be it. Whatever the reason, the old Dawkins reappeared. Against Pittsburgh in Week 3, Dawkins had seven tackles and one sack, and he forced and recovered a fumble that sealed the Eagles' victory. He was all over the place, in the backfield, harassing Ben Roethlisberger, crushing wide receivers, and his reward was being named NFC defensive player of the week. Usually, such an effort isn't a big deal, but the significance was inescapable. Dawkins wasn't done. Not yet. He looked reinvigorated, at least to those watching from the outside, but Dawkins would insist that he had never felt his time was up. He always had hope, always believed. And the results kept pace. Eight tackles and a sack of Jason Campbell in Week 5 against Washington. Seven tackles and another forced fumble against the Giants on Nov. 9. Five tackles, an interception and a forced fumble in a must-win game against Arizona. And Dawkins provided the intangibles. He called a team meeting after one loss to try to get everybody back on the same page, to get things off his chest, to facilitate the conversation about what really was wrong with a talented team. When the Eagles started their late-season push to the playoffs, Dawkins decided to grow a beard, and it spurred a movement that has grown to include Johnson, head coach Andy Reid, and even team owner
Jeffrey Lurie. Although the team fell short, Dawkins was as animated, as motivated, as outwardly exhilarated in the second-to-last game of the regular-season, against Washington. Even though he had made the Pro Bowl, even though he had redeemed himself after his early-season foibles, Dawkins wasn't ready for his Eagles career to end. After that excruciating loss to Washington, it looked as if Sunday would be it for Dawkins. Seven Pro Bowls. A team-record 183 games played. Thirty-four interceptions. And then life, sweet life. Thanks to Oakland. And Houston. And the Eagles. Dawkins will play another day - this Sunday, to be exact. It will be his 16th playoff game. He's going for win No. 9. "You can look at [the criticism] and say, 'You know, maybe they are right, maybe I am' " too old, Dawkins said, "or you can look at it as a challenge, and I look at it as a challenge. I know what I can do for this team, and I've said it. I know what I can still do. I've been blessed with a lot of abilities, and I still have these abilities built up inside, and I still can do it. "So you look at it as opportunity, and all those things just add. You put more things on the pile for the field to burn and utilize it." He might be old, but Dawkins isn't done. Not yet. He proved that this season.

DAWKINS, DAILY NEWS JOIN TO HONOR STUDENT ATHLETES By ED BARKOWITZ Philadelphia Daily News 9/4/08 Page 1 of 1 Matt Pooler is a teacher in the Philadelphia public-school system. A few years ago, he came into some Phillies tickets and wanted to reward a couple of his more deserving students. So he asked them if they would like to go to a game. "How do you do that?" the kids replied. Attending a professional sporting event is a foreign concept for many youngsters. Seeing in person the players they idolize on television just isn't possible for many when the biggest treat can be surviving the trip to and from school each day. These are the kids who Brian Dawkins wants to help. The Eagles safety has teamed with the Daily News to give away his two game tickets to a local highschool football player. Kids will be chosen as much for their skills on the field as their achievements in the classroom and beyond. The Daily News will pass along nominations from coaches to Dawkins, who will personally choose the winner. Tyron Cheeseboro, a senior running back/linebacker from John Bartram High, will be at this week's regular-season opener. He got the news yesterday from a Dawkins' representative.
"I wear No. 20, too," Cheeseboro said. "I can't wait for the opening kickoff. The crowd, the excitement. I'm going to want to hit somebody." Camden High senior defensive back Kalid Ways attended the preseason game against Carolina. His advice to his peers who are about to experience Lincoln Financial Field for the first time is simple. "I would tell them that any thoughts they had of what a pro game might be, to leave them home," said Ways, Camden's senior class president and a school ambassador. "It was so loud. I'll never forget how great it was." Lineman Troy Fraizer, who plays football at Camden High but attends Penn Vocational Tech, went to the preseason game against the New York Jets. Dawkins has never attended an NFL game that he wasn't playing in. The Jaguars weren't in existence when he was growing up in Jacksonville and even if they were, money was too tight to consider frivolously spending it on a football game. He was very reflective when he heard of Ways' experience. "Sometimes it's hard for us as athletes to understand the significance of that," Dawkins said. "We're on the field all the time. It's no big deal. But if, for a second, we can take ourselves out of our shoes mentally and put ourselves into our shoes as 15-year-olds and
think about where we were back then . . . how wonderful and how amazing it would have been to be at a football field at that time, to be on the sideline, to shake hands with whoever was the star at that time." In addition to the tickets, the Eagles organization will give out a pair of pregame sideline passes. It's up to the winning teenager to decide who to bring as a guest. The only stipulation is that the guest must be an adult, which Dawkins says is as much about enhancing the experience as it is logical safety. "Because of his hard work, he's going to be able to bless another person to go to the game also," Dawkins said, speaking in general. "If you're going with your father or guardian or whoever it is, that will be another bonding experience for those two. Memories, not just on the field and watching the Eagles, but being together with whomever he decides to take."

DAWKINS: FATHER FIRST, FOOTBALL PLAYER ALWAYS Mike Sielski Burlington County Times 2/17/08 Page 1 of 2
First of two parts. Amid the silence and the darkness, he would keep his eyes on the crib, careful not to disturb his wife and his two elder children as they slept, staying awake to make sure one of his babies was still breathing. Brian Dawkins called this the “night shift,” the weeks last spring when he sacrificed sleep and his annual off-season training regimen for the sake of his family, when football was the furthest thing from his mind and heart. Once the fiercest free safety in the NFL, Dawkins experienced in 2007 perhaps the most trying season of his 12-year career with the Eagles: the team's disappointing 8-8 record; three different injuries that caused him to miss significant portions of training camp, the preseason and the regular season; the subtle suggestions that, at age 34, he was past his prime. Yet in an interview earlier this month, Dawkins — for the first time publicly — spoke in depth about the medical and emotional challenges that accompanied the premature births of his twin daughters, Chionni and Cionni, in April. It is a story laden with irony. For the blessing of the twins' births and Dawkins' care in helping shepherd them to good health
probably doomed his season from the start. Not long after the Eagles lost to the New Orleans Saints in the NFC divisional playoffs last January, Dawkins' wife, Connie, went on bed rest for three weeks. She had begun to bleed during the first half of her pregnancy, meaning there was a 50 percent chance she would miscarry, according to the American Pregnancy Association, a non-profit organization in Texas that conducts research and education initiatives related to reproductive health. The bleeding was bad enough, but during a hospital visit, doctors told Brian and Connie that a scan of one of the twins' hearts revealed there was a slim chance the child had Down's syndrome. Victoria Vetter, the chief of pediatric cardiology at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, said in a telephone interview that the doctors might have thought they saw an atrioventricular canal, a heart defect that appears frequently in Down's cases. The doctors, Brian said, wanted to perform an amniocetensis to make sure. “But if you do that, there's a risk that one of the babies could be lost,” he said. “We weren't going to do it, but those are the things you have to think about. Tears were starting to flow.” The Dawkins family — Brian, Connie, 11-year-old Brian Jr. and 8-year-old Brionni — flew from the Philadelphia area to their second home in Orlando, and just after her baby shower, Connie was back on bed rest again for another three weeks, the twins threatening
to arrive three months too soon. Medication stabilized her, and Brian became a stay-at-home dad who didn't have much time to stay at home. In previous off-seasons, when Connie was able to look after the kids, Dawkins could spend his customary minimum of 12 hours a week in the weight room, bracing his body for the brutal rigors of another NFL season. Last year, that luxury didn't exist. “I'd drop the kids off at school, go see her, then take an hour to try to work out, then come right back to the hospital to be with her, then go pick the kids up from school, then get dinner ready,” he said. “I got a chance to walk in her shoes. I told her after all this was done how much I really appreciate her.” Chionni and Cionni Dawkins (pronounced chee-AH-nee and seeAH-nee, respectively) were born on April 26, two months prematurely. Neither had Down syndrome. Each of them weighed just three pounds, two little balls of skin, but around the maternity ward, seeing newborns who weighed half as much as his daughters, Brian considered himself fortunate, despite another piece of difficult news. Cionni, the younger twin, was suffering from relative bradycardia; for her age, her heart rate was too slow. Intermittent episodes of bradycardia are common among premature babies, said Vetter, the CHOP cardiologist, and periods of apnea, the suspension of normal breathing, are often connected to it. In fact, each condi-
Mike Sielski Burlington County Times 2/17/08 Page 2 of 2 tion contributes to the other. If a premature baby is not taking in enough oxygen, the heart will slow down. As the heartbeat slows, the baby has fewer opportunities to take a breath. Together, apnea and bradycardia are potentially fatal for a preemie. Chionni and Cionni spent 17 days in the hospital. They came home on Sunday, May 13 — Mothers Day. Brian and Connie obtained a electronic monitor to track Cionni's breathing, and in those awful moments when Cionni seemed to forget to breathe, Brian would have to stimulate her somehow — shake her gently, wiggle her foot — until she'd let out a tiny noise, half-grunt, half-gasp. It was as if the little girl, for a few seconds, were no longer alive ... until her father brought her back. “It was very, very terrifying,” he said. So, as Connie recuperated from the delivery, Brian maintained a remarkable routine: stay up all night to feed, change, and care for the twins; go to bed at 6 a.m.; wake up at noon; work out at 1:30; pick up Brian Jr. and Brionni from school; help Connie with dinner; nap until 10 p.m.; begin again. “I was a walking zombie,” he said. “I'm dealing with stuff emotionally, with all the things that could happen. Physically, I can't do the things I need to do, and when I do work out, I'm so tired from the other things I'm doing that I can't exert myself. And spiritually,
you're going back and forth with questions: "Why is this going on?' “But you've got to have a positive outlook on things. My wife is going through what she's going through. The kids are still going to school. Brian still needs to go to basketball practice. Brionni still needs help with homework. So I still have to be able to do all those things — and not with an angry attitude. It was taxing, very taxing.” This was his life for more than a month, until Cionni's lungs matured and she began breathing normally. By then, it was late June. The Eagles opened their 2007 training camp on July 27. Was Brian Dawkins ready to play football?

DETERMINED DAWKINS BELIEVES HE CAN STILL GET THERE Mike Sielski Burlington County Times 2/18/08 Page 1 of 2 Second of two parts PHILADELPHIA — To watch the play unfold was to wonder: Where's Brian Dawkins? The New Orleans Saints faced a third downand-18 from their own 25-yard line against the Eagles' defense late last season, and wide receiver Devery Henderson, split out to the left, ran past cornerback Sheldon Brown and surged upfield. In letting Henderson go, Brown was doing his job. The Eagles' secondary was playing a zone coverage, and Brown was responsible only for those New Orleans receivers in front of him. Once Henderson zoomed past Brown toward the first-down marker, it was on the free safety to slide over and cover him. It was on Dawkins. Except Henderson was open as he neared the 43-yard line. And he was open as quarterback Drew Brees lifted his arm and let go of the football. And Henderson was still open when he dropped Brees' pass. A heartbeat later, Dawkins arrived. Too late. That halfsecond of tardiness could have been the difference between Dawkins' delivering a devastating hit on Henderson and the Eagles' defense's surrendering a damaging first down. And Dawkins didn't get there. To watch the play unfold was to wonder: Can he anymore? Brian Dawkins agreed to meet at the NovaCare Complex and talk about the hardest year of his football life for two basic reasons — the first out of empathy, the second
out of defiance. After his twin girls, Chionni and Cionni, were born two months prematurely on April 26, after months of putting football aside and doing what daddies are supposed to do for their daughters, Dawkins began meeting more people dealing with the same questions and choices he and his wife, Connie, confronted. “I know there are a lot of people who are going to go through the same thing we went through,” he said. “Hopefully, this will encourage them.” The worry over Connie's and the twins' health, the sleepless nights spent making sure Cionni could still breathe, a regular season that saw him miss six games and seem a shell of a six-time Pro Bowl safety — he would endure them all again, he said. The babies are giggly and getting chubby, and he has one year left on his current contract with the Eagles, another shot to show that last season was a product of the circumstances of his personal life. “I'd just like to know who's in charge of counting steps, because I've lost steps for the last five years now,” Dawkins said. “By this time, I should be walking. “There are going to be negative people who say negative things about me — what I'm not doing, that I'm washed up, my days are behind me, all that stuff. I know what I can do, and I know what I still have. When I was on the field last year, I was not myself, and I saw that.” Dawkins acknowledged that he was not physically prepared to play a full NFL season in 2007, attributing the series of injuries he suffered to his inability to complete his usual off-season training program. “That makes those little nicks and bruises stay nicks and bruises,” he said, “instead of
becoming big bruises.” Before sitting out the season finale against Buffalo with a foot sprain that is now, in his words, “over with,” Dawkins missed most of training camp and the preseason because of Achilles tendonitis, returning to the lineup in time for the regular-season opener in Green Bay. One week later, in trying to tackle Redskins tight end Todd Yoder, he sustained a “stinger,” a pinched nerve at the back of his neck. He missed the Eagles' next five games. Brian Dawkins, sidelined for more than a month with a stinger, an ordinary injury by NFL standards? Something didn't seem right. It wasn't. Dawkins admitted that he actually pinched the same nerve twice during that Week 2 game against Washington, that he flew to Oregon to seek treatment from a nerve specialist because he could barely lift his arms, and that for a short while he contemplated the possibility that he might never play again. “That,” he said, “was a scary thing.” When it comes to re-signing players who are 30 or older, the Eagles' history is well known: They generally don't do it. Dawkins has been an exception to that rule once already, signing a two-year deal before the 2006 season. In that context, it's hardly surprising that Dawkins joined the chorus of Eagles veterans, among them Donovan McNabb and Brian Westbrook, in using two catch phrases common to discussions about the Eagles: Yes, the team needs more weapons, and yes, Dawkins' sense of urgency is high. “When the Giants won [the Super Bowl], that just sent it up that much higher,” he said. “To see them celebrate, to see them have a
Mike Sielski Burlington County Times 2/18/08 Page 2 of 2 great season, to know that we really do have that type of team to get it done, I think that's what everybody's saying this whole off-season. Do we need guys to come in? We really don't. Sometimes "need' is thrown out there. I think guys are saying we're a good team now. If you add to what we already have, you'll make a good team that much more formidable.” He was asked about that play against New Orleans. Clearly, he remembered the sequence — the sight of Henderson's breaking free, his slight hesitation in reacting, the implication therein. Can he get there anymore? “There's a flow to a game, the speed of a game,” he said. “Those things, you're used to, and when you're not able to play the way you need to play on a consistent basis, you're just off —” He snapped his fingers. “— just a second. Sometimes, I found myself off —” He snapped them again. “— just a hair. If it was because I couldn't run, I just couldn't get there, it would be one thing. But it's not that. I can still get wherever I need to be on the field when I need to be there. And you say, "How do you know that?' I know what they ask me to do, and I know the things I do in practice, and I still do things at a very high level.” He leaned forward in his chair, his eyes alive and unblinking, and to listen to Brian Dawkins, in that moment, was to believe every word.

DAWKINS A FATHERLY FIGURE AT HOME AND WORK By Bob Grotz Delco Times 6/12/08 Page 1 of 2 PHILADELPHIA – Eagles safety Brian Dawkins is more comfortable in shoulder pads and a helmet than the tuxedo he will wear tonight. But equipment and clothes no longer make this man. When Dawkins is honored by the Greater Philadelphia American Diabetes Association and the Father’s Day Council at their Father of the Year awards dinner, he will feel a burn unlike all others. The lump in his throat will dwarf the one from the first of six Pro Bowl selections that many consider the basis for a spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. “I’ve been blessed to get a lot of awards,” Dawkins said after the Eagles practiced Wednesday, “but there’s no award, no trophy, no ring to measure up with fatherhood. This means the most to me.” The Father of the Year honor Dawkins receives for balancing a successful career with a strong commitment to family and community is a win for The House. In Dawkins parlance, that’s the family unit of wife, Connie, sons Brian Jr., 10, daughter Brionni, 7, and twin girls Chonni and Cionni, almost 14 months old. The twins were born two months prematurely and spent a month in the hospital. Dawkins, who never misses a workout, much less a camp, did what he had to do. No ifs, ands or buts, he told head coach Andy Reid. Family came first, and he stayed home to play Mr. Mom. “I’ve got four little people in my house that hopefully I will leave a lasting
legacy on,” Dawkins said. “At the end of the day, this game will pass me by. This game will keep on going once I retire. But I will always be a father to these kids. Some people choose not to be fathers to their children; I’ll always be the dad to my children.” Dawkins also is the father of the Eagles defense. While Dawkins needs permission to leave The House, if you believe the kidding of the younger veterans, he’s always there for teammates. “You look at him as a great player, but nobody really knows the man behind the shield,” safety J.R. Reed said. “He’s a big-faith creature. My rookie year I got mad one practice and I might have said a cuss word or something. I have a cross (tattooed) on my arm. And he reminded me, ‘Don’t put that on your arm if you’re going to come in here cursing.’ He’s a real good role model. He’s influenced me a lot. He’s a great leader, but he’s a better person than he is a player.” Dawkins is the first to concede he didn’t have one of those stellar seasons Eagles fans have come to expect, playing in just 10 games last year due to a neck injury and finishing with but one interception, the 33rd of his 12-year career. When Dawkins started to round into shape, he sustained a neck stinger tackling Washington Redskins tight end Todd Yoder. Almost everything went numb and Dawkins felt that horrible fear of the unknown. He prayed and he rehabbed – and he prayed and rehabbed again. While Dawkins wasn’t quite the same when he returned, lesser men would have sat out the rest of the season. Many wonder how much football Dawkins has left, but it’s not an issue for the professional sports athlete with the longest active tenure in Philadelphia.
Dawkins, a 1996 second-round pick of head coach Ray Rhodes, cannot wait to start his 13th season. “I have a lot left,” Dawkins said. “We’ll see. I’ll go out and I’ll play. One of my good friends, the big gentleman down there at the end, Jon Runyan, he told me, ‘Once the pain outweighs the pay, then it’s time.’ When I can no longer do what I need to do to bless this team, to make plays game in and game out, year in and year out then it’s time to stop. And it’s not that time. It’s not even a thought.” Reed smiled when the subject turned to how Dawkins has performed in the voluntary camp. “Dawk doesn’t have an expiration date right now,” Reed said. “Darrell Green played until what? Into his 40s? Dawk is a specimen. He can play probably until he’s 42. Dawk has the body of a 20-year-old.” Green, by the way, was a first ballot Hall of Famer, having played 20 years in the NFL. Dawkins has a long way to go to get there. But he’s come a long way. Early in his career he struggled with depression and life issues that nearly cost him his job – and much more. These days Dawkins has a faith, spirituality and a peace that lets him look everyone — teammates, coaches and management — in the eye. Dawkins doesn’t know if he will end his career with the Eagles. His contract expires after this season. But that’s the furthest thing from his mind. Dawkins is eager to see how good this Eagles defense can be with free agent addition Asante Samuel, the cornerback who has missed much of the OTAs with a strained hamstring, and pass rusher Chris Clemons. “You can get a glimpse of what the
By Bob Grotz Delco Times 6/12/08 Page 2 of 2 defense will be, but it’s just a glimpse,” Dawkins said of the OTAs. “We still have some jelling to do with Asante. But when he’s not in practice he gets some mental reps. He sits next to me and we talk in meetings to make sure we’re on the same page and stuff.” Lito Sheppard, who hasn’t participated in the voluntary practices, is another piece the Eagles need to fit into the cornerback puzzle with Samuel and Sheldon Brown. “Lito was here when the bell rung last time, so I anticipate him being here the next time the bell rings,” Dawkins said, a reference to training camp in July. “Sheldon said it best. He feels (three cornerbacks) can mesh. And if one of those guys says they can mesh, than they can mesh.” Though Dawkins and his teammates would like to complete the offseason work today on a more positive note — quarterback Donovan McNabb is sidelined indefinitely with tendinitis in his throwing shoulder — it could be a lot worse. That took a big bite out of some of the other things that have been talked about,” Dawkins said. “And obviously it’s going to be talked about because it’s a huge story. But for me I’ve enjoyed this camp which is crazy because I’m going into my 13th year.”

WITH DAUGHTERS HEALTHY, EAGLES' DAWKINS LOOKING FORWARD TO 2008 By Joseph Santoliquito Special to NFL.com 7/25/08 Page 2 of 2 PHILADELPHIA -- Brian Dawkins would keep a close vigil on the gentle, swaying blankets. He'd sit in the hospital room, ignoring the monitors and constant beeps of the machinery surrounding him. The only thing that mattered was that his twin daughters were still breathing. They were frail, both less than four pounds. And a man so accustomed to being in command wasn't. Dawkins would clench his hands together and pray in the dark: We're going to get through this ... We're going to get through this ... Now look at them, Dawkins' 15-month-old twins, Chonni and Cionni. Chubbycheeked and bright-eyed, they blink and smile up at their father. Their tiny arms and legs churn, as if trying to fly when Dawkins reaches down to pick them up and cradle them both in his massive arms. They know daddy's face. It's the same face and eyes that have followed them since birth. The danger signs are over now, a trying ordeal Dawkins and his wife, Connie, will never forget. Fatherhood took an unexpected turn for Dawkins, the Philadelphia Eagles' six-time, All-Pro safety April 26, 2007, when Chonni (pronounced chee-Ah-nee) and Cionni (pronounced see-Ah-nee) were born two months premature. It tested Dawkins' character, patience, faith and belief in himself. He passed, with a new perspective and outlook on life and football. But there was a cost. The time and commitment the stalwart Dawkins usually gave to football waned. Consequently, the maniacal "B-Dawk" Eagles fans and the NFL were so accustomed to seeing didn't appear until late 2007. That's why Dawkins is entering this training camp, he says, in the best condition he's been in in two years. He started preparing in February, because he has a goal in mind to be the same bat-
tering ram he's always been. That he'll turn 35 this year doesn't mean a thing. He's still dangerous. He's still Brian Dawkins. "I set a standard for myself that is very high, I didn't play up to that standard last year," said Dawkins, who was expected to report to the Eagles' training camp at Lehigh University on Thursday. "That was tough to live with. I know the fans were disappointed, but I was more disappointed in myself. I set the bar real high, and that's the way I expect to play all the time, not just some of the time. I wasn't reacting the way I like to react on the field. I was thinking too much, where before I'd just react and make a play. "I pride myself on being a playmaker and I wasn't doing that, or at least not up to my standards. But I had serious things on my mind entering last year, and my family comes first. Always. Now I have an obligation to my family, and to myself, and that's play the way I expect to play." Entering last season, Dawkins "the father" took precedence. Football, for a rare moment, wasn't even on his mind; being the foundation in a family crisis was. In June, Dawkins was named a 2008 Father of the Year honoree by the Father's Day Council. "Being a father, it does make you think differently," said Dawkins, who is about to enter his 13th NFL season. "We all understand, when babies are born, they need everything. They can't do anything for themselves. As a parent, I read a lot of self-help books as to what to expect, but you find yourself learning some things on the job. You have to be open to change; you can't be selfish, because they need you. Babies take precedence over everything. But, you can say I got hit with a double-whammy." It was more like steamrolled. The father of Brian Jr., 11, and Brionni, 8, Dawkins was going to be a parent again, expecting in June 2007. Connie and Brian were going to have twins, meaning everything had to be done twice. Feeding. Changing. Bathing.
"Then we started getting signs some things might not be right," Dawkins said. "It was another case of learning new things on the run. But Connie and I didn't expect what was about to happen." Chonni and Cionni entered the world two months premature. "It's like they were skin and bones," Dawkins recalled. Cionni had a condition called bradycardia, which slows the heart rate to the point where there could be a 15- to 20second pause in breathing. There were times when Dawkins would be feeding her and she'd stop breathing. He would shake her to resume breathing again. But each time it occurred it would weigh heavily on Dawkins and his wife. "Connie went through enough, that's why I took the full brunt of what my wife and family went through," Dawkins said. "On the field, it's so different. You feel in control, or at least I do when I play. I've seen every play from every offense they can throw at me. But I was never through a situation like that before. I found I'm a little stronger than I thought. I always knew my wife was strong, but she turned out to be much stronger than I thought. We both learned a lot about each other and it really tested our faith. We both found out we could handle stressful situations better than we thought." There was a drawback on the field last season with Dawkins. He wasn't as prepared as he likes to be entering a season. His goal was to play himself into condition during training camp. It didn't exactly work out that way. Dawkins strained an Achilles' tendon the first day during a conditioning run and missed the first three weeks of camp. In the Eagles' second game of the season, against Washington, he suffered a stinger in his neck. "Here's a guy who put anything and everything on the backburner for his family and his wife," said Ike Reese, a nine-year NFL veteran, now retired, and Dawkins' close friend. "Football became secondary when
By Joseph Santoliquito Special to NFL.com 7/25/08 Page 2 of 2 it came to what Brian went through. Brian thought he was able to recover late last year, because he has the mental and physical fortitude to do that. But nothing else mattered to him but his wife and his children. His heart and mind was into his family, and he wasn't at that time able to dedicate himself to football like he expects. "We'll see Brian Dawkins again this season, the Brian Dawkins we all know. He'll be back this year. Brian has something to prove, to show people that the maniac is still out there." Dawkins missed five games last year and even had a few people wondering if he had lost a step. For only the second time in his career, he failed to record a sack during the season. He's in the final year of his contract with the Eagles, but says he feels he has something more to play for than a new contract, something new that motivates him. "My family in general motivates me," Dawkins said. "I want my son to be proud and explain to his friends why his daddy still acts so crazy on a football field. I'm very conscious of the fact that my kids know daddy off the field, but my two older ones know him on the field. Now I want my little girls to know daddy on the football field, as a football player. That means I plan on playing a little while longer."
Kyle Eckel Feature
ECKEL PREPARING WITH RIVALRIES IN MIND Jack McCaffery Delco Times 12/5/08 Page 1 of 1 PHILADELPHIA — The Eagles’ team bus will pull out of the NewsControl Complex sometime this weekend, bust a right on Broad Street, hit I-95 and buzz pass the Linc. From his window seat, Kyle Eckel will peer out and think about rivalries — rivalries then, rivalries now. He’s the Haverford guy by way of a South Philly rowhome that had a view of the old Eagles’ practice site. And he’s the Birds’ running back by way of Navy, which annually plays a game of heightened importance, right down the street from where he was raised. And so, as the bus passes the Linc and its parking lots, which by then will have begun to fill up with RV’s and cars and trucks and military vehicles for the ArmyNavy game, Eckel will smile and remember. Then, he will look ahead to the morning, and a pro-football rivalry with its own history: Eagles-Giants. “I grew up with all the NFC East rivalries,” the Episcopal Academy grad was saying Thursday. “But I grew up right around the peak of the Cowboys’ era. So to me, Cowboys-Eagles was always the big one. But all the NFC East rivalries were awesome, and I have seen the highlights of the Eagles and Giants for a long time.” Eckel is 26, too young to remember the Miracle at the Meadowlands, which this season turned the Big 3-Oh. He doesn’t remember Chuck Bednarik bulldozing Frank Gifford, but should remember Brian Westbrook’s punt return that saved a season, or Randall Cunningham’s 91-yard punt, or the way Lawrence Taylor used to smother Birds’ quarterbacks. Rivalries... “There have been some cool, cool moments with the Eagles and all of the NFC East teams,” he said. “But the heartbreaking moments — the moments I remember from when I was younger —
always seemed to come against the Cowboys. The worst one was against Dallas when Ty Detmer drove the Eagles down the field and then, for the game-winning field goal, they mishandled the snap. Ahhhhh. I tell you, I was hurting for a few days.” Should the Eagles lose Sunday in Giants Stadium — and they are eight-point underdogs — the wounds could be lasting. It would leave them all but eliminated from the playoffs, and could signal the all-clear for their next era, whether that start with the quarterback, the coach or the frontoffice depth chart. Unlike Army-Navy, which has self-contained ramifications, the Eagles-Giants game will provide multiple ripples. But Eckel didn’t serve time in the Navy without learning how to handle turbulence. So there he is now, balancing himself between what is and what might be. Having just joined the Eagles in October, he earned his first opportunity to play in the 48-20 victory last Thursday against Arizona. In that, he rushed six times for 27 yards and became something of an instant hero for his short-yardage effectiveness, which had been problematic for the Eagles. “We looked at him in practice and he looked pretty good,” offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said. “Shoot, he led the nation in rushing a couple years ago in college and then he showed well last week. He’s earned the responsibility of playing a little bit.” So Eckel will play against New York, Eagles fans cheering his every one-yard churn through traffic for a first-down, a local hero waiting to happen — a hero, he would be quick to stress, only in a conversational sense. As a product of the Naval Academy, Eckel was responsible for military service — service that, according to reports, went through choppy seas. A November, 2007, story in the Boston Globe adlined “Troubled Waters” reported that the former New England Patriot had been expelled from the Navy and ordered to repay $96,000 in tuition fees. Eckel has not been known to elaborate on the causes
for the separation, but the Globe story referenced prior episodes of alleged misconduct involving behavior at or around parties. Eckel has no criminal record, the report stressed — and apparently has no ill-will toward the Navy. That’s why he was planning to spend as much time as possible in the next few days inside the Linc, watching his former team prepare for the most intense of college football rivalries. “I’m not going to have time to go to the game, because we will be heading to North Jersey,” he said. “But I want to go to the practice. One of the guys with the team now is Ryan Hamilton, who went to Episcopal Academy and played for Navy. He’s from Havertown and he is a captain in the Marine Corps and works with the athletic department and the football team at the Naval Academy. He was a senior when I was a freshman. I have been talking to him about seeing the guys.” Eckel said he served roughly two years in the Navy, in Newport, R.I., and Annapolis. “It was awesome,” he said. “I went to Newport and helped to coach the Naval Academy prep school for a few months with some other temporary-assignment ensigns from the Naval Academy. Then in Annapolis, I got myself ready for the Norfolk, Va., where I was assigned to the Norfolk Naval Base. “But I don’t think you can compare football with the military. I don’t think you can compare the military with anything. So much is said about football players, and all athletes. But you have the guys overseas, and they are the real heroes.” So he will think about that as the bus passes the Linc, and then again as it turns into the Meadowlands. He’ll think about heroes and rivalries, and how they have connected. Mostly, he’ll think about how they may connect again.
Joselio Hanson Feature
HANSON TURNING THE CORNER REUBEN FRANK Burlington County Times 11/30/08 Page 1 of 1
Warner, with the Eagles already up 70, set up Brian Westbrook's second touchdown and gave the Eagles a 14-0 lead on their way to a 48-20 rout.
PHILADELPHIA — Joselio Hanson admits it. He was concerned.
He's the first Eagles cornerback with a sack and interception in a two-game span since Brown back in 2004.
When the Eagles went out and signed Asante Samuel this offseason, Hanson wondered about his playing time, wondered where he fit in.
“I like starting,” Hanson said. “I'm a good player. I can hold my own out there. It feels good to play and to contribute.”
He was the No. 3 corner last year behind Lito Sheppard and Sheldon Brown, and now he was No. 4.
Hanson now has as many interceptions as Samuel since the fourth week of the season and as many as Sheppard and Brown combined this year. He has as many sacks this month as Brown and Sheppard combined over the last three years.
And he's smart enough to know the No. 4 corner doesn't play very much. Hanson, a former undrafted free agent cornerback who couldn't even get into a training camp in 2005, found himself in training camp behind two Pro Bowl cornerbacks in Sheppard and Samuel and one of the league's most complete corners in Brown. “I knew what it meant, and I knew how it was going to be,” Hanson said. “But I couldn't do anything about it, so I just continued to work hard and try to come up big if I got in a game.” Hanson is doing more than getting into games these days. He's making big contributions, something the Eagles' other corners — the big-name guys — haven't necessarily been doing. Hanson's consistency — unlike Samuel, he doesn't gamble; unlike Sheppard, he's physical and a good tackler; and unlike Brown, he's got great hands and can catch the football — earned him a start Thursday night against the Cards, and Hanson responded with another very good game. After recording a sack against the Ravens, Hanson picked up his first career interception. The pick of Kurt
He makes plays. And on a team where the corners haven't made plays the last few years, that's big. “He's a good player,” head coach Andy Reid said. “At San Francisco (in 2004), where he had most of his snaps, we thought he was a good football player there. He was kind of an unsung guy, just went about doing his job. He doesn't say much. He's a real quiet kid, but he's tough, he's quick, and he's very detailed at what he does. He's not the biggest guy in the world, but he plays that way. He plays big and he plays tough.” Ironically, it was last month against the 49ers, the team Hanson began his NFL career with, that Hanson began playing more this year. That's when defensive coordinator Jim Johnson inserted him in the nickel defense ahead of Brown. “I started playing more in the San Francisco game and I've just tried to keep making plays so I can stay out there,” Hanson said. “Every time I play, I feel like I have to make the most of my opportunity and prove I
can make it even though I wasn't drafted.” Hanson came into the league with the 49ers in 2003 and started three games in 2004, but he couldn't even get into a training camp in 2005 and was out of the league until the Eagles signed him off the scrap heap before 2006 training camp. He's steadily worked his way up to the point where recently he's been the Eagles' biggest playmaking cornerback. “I think I'm a better player than when I got here because I know the defense so much better now,” he said. “And that makes me more confident. I feel like I can go out there and make plays.” Hanson is one of Johnson's favorites. Who would have thought a few months ago he's be playing nickel ahead of Brown and starting ahead of Sheppard. It will be interesting to see where Hanson fits in the rest of this year and even next year, when presumably the secondary will have a much different look. “He's come a long way,” Johnson said. “He's a guy who you find out more and more about him the more you play him. He just has a good feel for the game. You tell him to do something once, and he'll do it well and you don't have to say anything about it again. “He's making very few mistakes right now, playing real well. You can see he's around the ball - he's got a real nose for the football and a feel for the defense, and he's physical. He plays hard, and he plays tough. We'll see (how much he plays when Samuel comes back), but I'd like to see him on the field a lot.”
Darren Howard Feature
MOVE INSIDE REVIVES HOWARD REUBEN FRANK Burlington County Times 11/4/08 Page 1 of 1 PHILADELPHIA — What Darren Howard first saw as a demotion has turned out to be a career saver. When Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Johnson started using Howard as a third-down defensive tackle pass rusher last year, Howard sensed the end was near. After spending his first seven NFL seasons as a defensive end and twice recording 11 sacks for the Saints, Howard wasn't just getting benched, he was becoming a backup at a new position. “My first two years here, I really thought I'd be getting more reps at defensive end, and it was difficult to deal with when I didn't play that much,” Howard said. “Then, when they moved me — when you talk about pass rushing in the NFL, you're usually talking about linebackers and defensive ends. There's not a lot of guys coming off the bench as situation defensive tackles getting a ton of sacks.” There's one. After his first multiple-sack game in two years Sunday in Seattle, Howard now has 61/2 sacks in eight games this year, which ranks 11th in the NFL and sixth in the NFC. This from a guy who had 91/2 sacks in 44 games from 2005 through 2007. “I really didn't think it would work out like this,” Howard said yesterday, a day after the Eagles improved to 5-3 with a 26-7 win over the Seahawks. “I thought I'd get some pressure, maybe get a sack here and there. But it's
worked out better than I ever thought it would.” Howard, who turns 32 in two weeks, has at least one sack in three straight games for the first time since his 11sack season in 2004. Considering many thought he was on the brink of getting cut during the offseason and many others thought the Eagles should have kept Jerome McDougle instead at final cuts, it's been a remarkable stretch. “He was discouraged (after last year) because he hadn't been starting and very easily could have hung his head and said, "You know what, I'm late in my career, my time is over, I don't have a place here, a spot on this team,' and whatever else goes through your mind,” head coach Andy Reid said. “But he didn't do that. He did just the opposite and said, "Listen, I'm going to find my niche on this team. I'm going to work like crazy to get myself back to being the best I can be,' and his attitude had been phenomenal. He's handled this whole thing so well, and I'm very happy to see that it's paying off for him.” The Eagles rank second in the NFL in sacks per pass play, behind only the Giants, who they face at the Linc this Sunday night. And despite some disappointing seasons, Howard's 57 career sacks ranks seventh among players who entered the NFL in 2000 or later. And he needs just 41/2 over the second half of the season to equal his career high set in 2000 and again in 2004. “I see a guy who's in much better shape than he was when he first got here,” Johnson said yesterday. “He just looks so much quicker to me. He's got a lot of quickness and he's getting a lot of penetration in his pass rush.”
Maybe there's something about Olympic years. Howard has 281/2 sacks in 37 games in Olympic years and 281/2 sacks in 84 games in nonOlympic years. “My plate is really small now,” Howard said. “I'm kind of a specialist now. I don't play defensive end much, and I can just focus on what my role is — study the guard and go out there on third down and get pressure. “It's working out well because I'm healthy, I'm not playing as much, and on Monday, I still feel pretty good. So when I do get out there, I can go 100 percent.” Who knows what happened to the guy who had only seven sacks in his last 42 games before this year began? It took a while, but the Eagles are finally getting their money's worth from Howard, who signed a six-year, $32 million deal with the Eagles in March 2006. “It would be great to keep this thing going and keep getting sacks, but the biggest thing for me is to keep playing hard, getting pressure, and helping the team win,” Howard said. “And to know that when teams are watching film, they have to look at me twice.”

EAGLES USING MO' HOWARD, WHO MAKES DOUBTERS LOOK LIKE STOOGES By Clark Judge CBSSports.com 9/23/08 Page 1 of 2 PHILADELPHIA -- What the Philadelphia Eagles should welcome most about Sunday's demolition of Pittsburgh was all the help that arrived from unexpected sources. There were Correll Buckhalter and Hank Baskett. Dan Klecko. Max JeanGilles. Heck, even punter Sav Rocca drew another attaboy from coach Andy Reid at Monday's news conference. But the guy I was impressed with didn't score, had only two tackles and wouldn't draw a crowd if he walked down Market Street. I'm talking about Darren Howard, who is quietly rebuilding his reputation as a valuable defensive lineman and an invaluable part of an Eagles rotation that disrupted Pittsburgh's offense by sacking its quarterbacks nine times. Six months ago I would've guessed that Howard wouldn't be here; that the Eagles, who signed free agent Chris Clemons in March, would've moved on without him -- in effect, admitting they missed when they spent millions to lure Howard away from New Orleans in 2006. But somehow, some way, he beat the odds and stuck ... and the Eagles should be grateful. So he's not starting. He is making a difference, and rewind the videotape to that safety of Ben Roethlisberger on Sunday to see how. As the Steelers quarterback retreats to pass, Howard - playing at the right defensive tackle
spot -- fights through a double team and collapses the pocket. Forced to flee, Roethlisberger scrambles left ... and into the arms of defensive end Trent Cole. Rather than take a sack in the end zone, Roethlisberger shifts the ball from his left hand to his right, desperately tries to throw as he is tackled and is called for intentional grounding. Two points, Philadelphia. Afterward, Cole is asked about the play and how it seemed to solidify a Philadelphia victory. But it wasn't Trent Cole who pressured Roethlisberger; it was Darren Howard, fighting through a blocker (guard Chris Kemoeatu) nearly 100 pounds heavier to push Big Ben into Cole's path. You didn't see that a year ago. In fact, you didn't see much of anything a year ago. Slowed by nagging injuries, Howard played little and produced less. His 10 tackles not only were the fewest of his career, they ranked 19th among the Eagles -- and seemed to signal the beginning of the end for him in Philadelphia. I remember talking to coach Andy Reid at the February scouting combine and asking him what, if anything, he could gain from Howard at this stage of his career. Reid wasn't sure, but he did say he didn't want to give up on him. "I still think he can be a factor," he said. I couldn't imagine how. Reid could. And he was right. Given a reprieve, Howard dedicated himself to working out in the offseason, trying to reclaim a reputation as
one of the game's promising pass rushers when he was in New Orleans. He lost 20 pounds. He worked out incessantly. And he put himself in what Eagles insiders said is the best shape of his brief career in Philadelphia. "You ask any of our coaches or offensive linemen," said general manager Tom Heckert. "He was almost unblockable in training camp. It was crazy. He was our defensive end on the second team, so he was going against our 'ones' (starters) a lot and giving those guys all kinds of problems." On Monday I found Howard in the Eagles dressing room shortly after noon. He was alone, getting dressed after a workout on an afternoon when he could've been home. "I'm trying to prove something to myself," he said. "I don't have to be here (working out), but I want to because I'm trying to make myself better." From where I sit that has already happened. He can play inside or out and is effective at both positions. He can play on the left or right sides. He has the strength to bull rush opposing linemen who outweigh him. And, most important, he has no lingering injuries holding him back. In Sunday's defeat of Pittsburgh he had 1½ of the Eagles' nine sacks. He also had a tackle for loss and two quarterback hits. In the season opener, he split a sack, had one tackle for loss and another quarterback hit. Afterward, defensive coordinator Jim Johnson called it Howard's best game as an Eagle. In three games, he already has more sacks than he did a year ago. More

EAGLES USING MO' HOWARD, WHO MAKES DOUBTERS LOOK LIKE STOOGES By Clark Judge CBSSports.com 9/23/08 Page 2 of 2 important, he looks like the player who aced the exam in training camp. "So how do you explain it?" I asked Heckert. "I don't know if I can," he said. "It's a tribute to him. He knows last year he didn't have a great season. It kind of turned into a bad situation because he was a little bit banged up and he wasn't playing great so he wasn't playing a lot for us. "I think he just put it in his mind he didn't want it to happen again. I'm sure he thought, 'Hey, I better be careful or I'm not going to make it.' He saw that we went out and signed Clemons, so he probably was looking at the same thing that everyone else was: That it's going to be tough for me to make this team." Howard admitted that crossed his mind, but said it motivated him. The long and short of it was this: He wasn't going fail. Even if he was going to play, say, 25-30 snaps a game as a sub he wanted to do it as an impact player -- not as the guy who limped through last season. "When I first got here," he said, "I didn't understand what my role was because it wasn't clear. But now that I understand how we rotate defensive linemen I know where I fit in, and I know where I can contribute." So far, so good, and the results were there again Sunday. I can't imagine the Eagles collapsing pockets as easily as they did against Pittsburgh, but I can imagine Darren Howard becom-
ing a problem for offensive coordinators. In fact, he already is one, and here's to a comeback few people foresaw. "It's all on him," said Heckert. "He did it all on his own. He came back in phenomenal shape, with a purpose and his attitude was great. He proved he can play."
DeSean Jackson Feature
JACKSON SET TO CASH IN ON CHANCE REUBEN FRANK Burlington County Times 8/22/08 Page 1 of 1 Some have to wait a year to get their chance. Some must wait even longer. A few never even get the opportunity. For DeSean Jackson, the chance to start an NFL game took just a few weeks. Injuries to starting receivers Kevin Curtis and Reggie Brown combined with Jackson's outstanding training camp and strong performance in the first two preseason games have made Jackson a starter in the Eagles' preseason game tonight against the Patriots in Foxboro, Mass. Jackson, who leads all NFL players this preseason with 12 receptions, will play a lot against the defending AFC champs as the Eagles take a long look at the possible replacements for Curtis, who could miss half the season after sports hernia surgery. “I'm just excited to get out there and start with the 1's,” Jackson said. “It's a tremendous opportunity for me. I feel like I've been doing a good job getting in the playbook, getting with Donovan (McNabb). “Being a starter is a lot different than being a backup receiver. I just have to go out there and put in the work. It's a little different because you're taking more reps and you have to go out there and go hard the whole time. “When I was with the 2's, I was behind Reggie and I'd usually go in when the 2's go in there, but now I'm in there with the 1's and the tempo's a lot higher and I have to learn a lot faster.” Jackson has been impressive with his ability to get off the line of scrimmage and find open space. He's turned those 12 receptions in 122 yards on mainly short catches, his
longest gainer going 19 yards. Although McNabb warned earlier this week that Jackson's preseason performance is not necessarily a sign that he's going to be a huge contributor during the regular season, the fact that he's an interim starter tells you what the Eagles really think. “He's showing he can play,” General Manager Tom Heckert said in a video interview on the team's official web site. “He's a very confident kid. He's a natural football player, he's smart, he's picked up the offense well, and he's made plays. If he can continue to do that, yeah, he can be a player for us. “Obviously he's never played a 16game season that he'll play for us this year and he's not the biggest guy in the world, so he's got to be durable. The jury's still out, but right now he's shown every sign of being a player for us.” Rookie receivers rarely become impact players with the Eagles. But Jackson has mastered the offense in a hurry. “He is one of the faster ones that I have coached,” offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said. “There are a couple of things that he has that allows him to be a really fast learner. First of all, he's a natural player. His movements are just natural. He does a lot of things that we teach that he just does naturally. “Secondly, he's really sharp, footballwise. Really, for him it takes him once or twice, maybe three reps, and he's got it. He can take it from the classroom to the field very quickly as well. Those are all good things.” Jackson said it helps him to be around guys like Greg Lewis, now in his sixth year in this offense; Brown, in his fourth year; and Hank Baskett and Jason Avant, in his third
year. That's 16 years of knowledge at Jackson's disposal, and he's not shy about asking questions. “The experience is there with Greg and Hank and Jason, so I just lean on them and they help me out a lot and I can just go out there and make plays,” he said. Jackson has played a lot in the first two preseason games, but tonight will be different because he'll start and get to play a lot against the Patriots' starting defensive backs. “That's the biggest thing, going out there and playing against teams' first teams,” he said. “Just being ready to be out there, because it's my first game start in the NFL and hopefully (I) go out there and make a good impression. “I'm kind of one of those guys who goes into things with an open mind and whatever happens happens. I know what I'm capable of doing and all the hard work I've put in. The time's come, and I just can't wait till Friday.”
Akeem Jordan Feature
JORDAN EARNS WAY INTO LINEBACKER SPOT WITH EAGLES By ED BARKOWITZ Philadelphia Daily News 12/3/08 Page 1 of 1 It's not unusual for players at the I-AA level to be overlooked by the NFL - particularly linebackers on the smallish side, compared with their Division I-A peers. Like most 'tweeners, all that Akeem Jordan wanted was a chance. Jordan went undrafted despite a fine career at James Madison, and was scooped up by the Eagles the day after the 2007 draft as a practice-squad player. It isn't the easiest way to break into the NFL, but Jordan worked his way onto the Eagles' active roster in midseason and wound up leading the team in special-teams tackles. Jordan began this season again as an exemplary special-teamer, which has led to getting reps at linebacker. He replaced Omar Gaither as the weakside starter for the Nov. 23 game at Baltimore and registered a team-leading nine tackles. Jordan followed that with a decent effort against Arizona. He allows that he is very much a work in progress. "My physicality is not as good as it should be at times, and I could be more mentally prepared," said Jordan, a 6-1, 230-pounder. "I made a couple of mistakes last game. I need to eliminate those mistakes. I'm very critical of myself to not make those mistakes again." Correcting mistakes seems to come
naturally to the Harrisonburg, Va., native. Harrisonburg isn't exactly the war zone that some areas of Philadelphia and Camden can be, but it has its rough parts. When Jordan was in his early teens, a few of his friends were murdered and others died suspiciously. While at James Madison, Jordan won a national title as a sophomore and finished second for I-AA defensive player of year as a senior behind Kyle Shotwell, who currently is with Kansas City's practice squad. (Chris Gocong was the 2005 winner.) Jordan also worked at the Shenandoah Valley Juvenile Center, mentoring kids a lot like the people he lost several years before. He was part counselor, part guard, part baby sitter. "They grew up where I grew up," he said. "They think that if you go to college that you're not tough or you are not a man. I'm trying to tell them that you have to provide for your family one day. You can't do that by standing on a corner. The way you all are viewing things right now is twisted. I was trying to change their thinking and lead them in the right way." Jordan first saw time at linebacker at the end of last season. He had six tackles at New Orleans and 14 in his first career start in the finale against Buffalo. Rotating linebackers doesn't have nearly the intrigue as a quarterback controversy, but it will be interesting to see how Jordan fares
over the final month of the season. Eagles coach Andy Reid praised the young linebacker following the win over the Cardinals on Thanksgiving. "I don't want to take anything away from Omar [Gaither], because Omar's a good football player," Reid said. "Akeem is playing fast, downhill football, he has good instincts, and Omar works in there, too. You get both of them in there with an opportunity to play." An opportunity. That's all he could ask for.

EAGLES’ JORDAN ONE PLAY AWAY REUBEN FRANK Burlington County Times 8/28/08 Page 1 of 1 Akeem Jordan started out last year as a practice squad linebacker, a total unknown, an undrafted free agent out of Division 1-AA James Madison. A year after biding his time on the fringes of the roster, he's still unknown, but Jordan has quietly become an important part of this 2008 Eagles football team. Jordan played well enough after his promotion to the 53-man roster in late October and again this preseason to become a favorite of both defensive coordinator Jim Johnson and special teams coach Rory Segrest. Jordan is now the Eagles' fourth linebacker and a key special teamer and appears to have a roster spot locked up with final cuts two days away. The way the defense stands now, if any linebacker got hurt, Jordan would be the next guy in. If something happened to weak-side linebacker Omar Gaither, Jordan would replace him. If middle linebacker Stewart Bradley got hurt, Jordan would move in at weak-side and Gaither would move to the middle, where he played last year. And if strong-side linebacker Chris Gocong couldn't play, Bradley would move to the strong side, Gaither to the middle and Jordan to weak-side. “He can play, he can start, he could start at WILL for us, and we have a lot of confidence in him,” Johnson said. “He's a good linebacker, he could start in nickel. We have three starting linebackers, but he's right in there as No. 4 —
and he could be No. 3 at any time. You never know, with one injury. I have a lot of confidence in him.” After moving into the linebacker rotation following Takeo Spikes' season-ending injury, Jordan had 20 tackles the last two weeks in wins over the Saints and Bills, 14 in his first NFL start against the Bills. Jordan smiles a bit when he hears the praise from Johnson, but ultimately he knows it doesn't mean anything if he doesn't continue playing at a high level. “That's good to hear, but I feel like I can still get a lot better,” said Jordan, who just turned 23 last week. “I don't think I'm where I want. I'm getting better, but I'm somebody who is always going to be saying I need to improve. I don't think I'll ever feel like I'm satisfied or there's nothing I can't get better at. When you come in like I did (as an undrafted free agent), you're always going to stay hungry.” Jordan finished with a remarkable 209 special teams production points despite playing only nine games. Projected over a full year, he would have had 371 points. For the sake of comparison, Hank Baskett was the team leader with 277. “Once he actually took over that role of starting on special teams, he ended up being one of our top production point leaders,” special teams coach Rory Segrest said. “He's just a guy who knows how to play football. He ends up in the right spot, he takes coaching well, he always has a high motor and does things the way you ask him to do it.” A year ago this week, Jordan was
sweating out final cuts. Now, he won't have to do quite as much sweating. “He's just a really good player, really athletic, really smart,” Bradley said. “He knows what he's doing out there. He covers well, he moves well, he's got good natural instincts. Every team needs good competition, and he pushes us to work harder. You know you have to stay on top of your game because he could easily be out here starting if one of us lets up.”

I know the one thing the Eagles will ge work for them.” The Eagles expect Dan Klecko, a veteran of 47 NFL games as a defe fullback, to compete with Jason Davis for the job that formerly belong his hometown Minnesota Vikings. It’s the opportunity of a lifetime for the 27-year-old, who has family, fri Chester and Kennett Square in the Keystone State, and a bevy more with the firm that put stairs in Citizens Bank Park. “I just feel this is something that can be good for my career,” Klecko s for such a great team like the Eagles.

And all of those things Dan and I used to talk about years ago, now he has them. “Let’s put it this way: There are kids that pay attention and kids that don’t pay attention. And Danny pays atten fullback.” Frustrated that a regular defensive role eluded him over his first five NFL seasons, Dan Klecko thought about the 2007 season. “The Raiders called a couple of times but nothing really worked out with it,” Klecko said. “But when the Eagles called this year, I said, ‘If they think this is something we can do, let’s get this done.’” Dan Klecko got a two-year contract from the Eagles, a ton of congratulatory messages from well wishers jamm his voicemail, and above all an “attaboy” from his dad for taking the risk. “He has been one of the main advocates of it,” Dan Klecko said. “He said, ‘Don’t give up on this. Maybe this is way we can go with your career.’ And it turns out this year it really worked out, you know?” Like his dad, Dan attended Temple University. At 5-11, 285, Dan became Big East defensive player of the yea a senior. Bill Belichick and the Patriots took him off the board in the fourth round of the 2003 draft.

Dan Klecko Feature
KLECKO'S PASS RUSH ABILITY NO JOKE By GEOFF MOSHER The News Journal 5/27/08 Page 1 of 1 PHILADELPHIA -- Brodrick Bunkley glanced over his left shoulder, stopped talking mid-sentence and started to crack up. Bunkley, the Eagles' starting right tackle, had been gushing about Dan Klecko, the Eagles' pint-sized, pot-bellied reserve defensive tackle. About Klecko's natural pass-rushing acumen. About his lightning-quick first step. About his gregarious personality that keeps the defensive linemen loose. Bunkley then looked about six locker spaces to his left, where the 5-foot-9, 265-pound former Temple star sat, mingling with teammates. He lost it. "You look at him ..." Bunkley said, then started to chuckle. After that, Bunkley couldn't get the words out. He just kept laughing. What's serious is that Klecko has found a home on the defensive line after a brief audition at fullback that failed before it started. When he moved back to defensive tackle in the spring, Klecko was one of four reserves competing for the last spot in defensive coordinator Jim Johnson's four-man rotation. LaJuan Ramsey and Jeremy Clark were soon released. Veteran tackle Kimo von Oelhoffen signed, but didn't make it through Lehigh. Montae Reagor, Klecko's last remaining competition, worked out an injury settlement after recently undergoing knee surgery. Asked this week who the team's No. 4 tackle was now, Johnson almost seemed surprised by the question. "That fourth defensive tackle is a guy by the name of Klecko," Johnson said. (Actually, Johnson said, "Glecko.")
"He looks pretty good to me right now. He had a good game the other night [against New England] and he's had a great camp." Jobs are still up for grabs with less than a week before the season opener, but Klecko has wrapped up the role he didn't initially sign up for. "I've been saying all along, try not to look at the numbers," Klecko said this week. "I know it's a cliché, and it's old, but just don't play the numbers game." Johnson said he'd never coached anyone with Klecko's speed and slight frame. Klecko's specialty is motoring past offensive linemen to collapse the pocket, especially on nickel downs, when he's most likely to be used. Some of his talent is pedigree; his father, four-time Pro Bowler Joe Klecko, co-anchored the Jets defensive line in the late 1970s and early '80s known as the "New York Sack Exchange." Most of it, though, is hustle. "Man, Kleck is quick and slippery," Bunkley said. "He just knows how to work the edges. In order to be a great pass rusher, you have to know how to work the edges. He's a specialist at that." Some of that trademark deceptive speed went on display in the second half of Friday night's 27-17 win against New England, one of two teams Klecko played for before coming to Philadelphia. Klecko registered two tackles for a loss. "He's a natural defensive lineman," defensive end Jerome McDougle said. "You can tell that his dad showed him a couple of things. "Another thing, he's got a heck of a motor. He'll run all day. He's just like the Energizer [bunny]. He's going to give you everything he has, every time." With New England, Klecko played linebacker, defensive tackle and occasionally fullback. He won two
Super Bowls there. Then he signed with Indianapolis, where he played mostly tackle and won another Super Bowl ring. The irony is that Klecko agreed to make the fullback conversion for head coach Andy Reid to achieve longevity. He wasn't exactly a smash hit on the free-agent market and believed his transition to fullback would help him stick around. But once he moved back to defensive tackle, Klecko's inherent affinity for the job kicked in. "It's what I've been doing my whole life, so it was easy to get back to that whole rhythm," he said. "I do love to play d-tackle, I really do. I think it's a lot of fun, a little bit more fun than fullback, and I wouldn't have said that before. It's kind of just like a bunch of crazy rogue sharks playing on the defensive line. That's what I love about it."
Dan Klecko Feature
KLECKO: JUST CALL HIM AN EAGLE By John Smallwood Philadelphia Daily News 8/26/08 Page 1 of 1 IT COULD HAVE been worse. Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Johnson could have confused Dan Klecko with a certain lizard that makes a living pitching car insurance. As it was, Johnson just got the first letter in Klecko's last name wrong, referring to him as "Glecko." But it wasn't what Johnson called Klecko, but rather what he said about him that grabbed attention yesterday at Eagles practice. "The fourth defensive tackle is a guy by the name of [Klecko]," Johnson said. "He looks good to me right now. He had a good game the other night and he's had a great camp." There have been a number of interesting twists in the battles for roster spots. None has been as surprising Klecko, who was signed as free agent to play fullback and then suddenly got thrown back into the mix at defensive tackle and now is on the verge of making the team. Hardly anyone expected Klecko, at 511, 275, to have a legitimate shot at making the Eagles. But then hardly anyone thought that Klecko, a native of Marlboro, N.J., who played at Temple, would be in his sixth NFL season with three Super Bowl rings already tucked in his back pocket. "I've been hearing that [he's a long shot] since I've been in the NFL," said Klecko, who has played defensive tackle, fullback and linebacker with the New
England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts. "They said I was too small to be a nose tackle up in New England. "I just put it out of my mind and go play." Football is a game of cliches, and Klecko is a great example of this one: It's not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog. What he lacks in size, Klecko, the son of All-Pro defensive lineman Joe Klecko, more than makes up for in speed, tenacity and work ethic. "No, I haven't," Johnson said when asked if he has seen a lot of guys who have been able to do what Klecko does at his size. "He has such quickness. "He has good football sense and he loves to play. He's a high-motor guy. I'm not going to say he hasn't surprised me some. I'm not quite as surprised after being around him a bit." With veteran defensive tackle Montae Reagor having his nameplate removed from his stall, it would seem that Klecko and rookie Trevor Laws will be the backups behind starters Broderick Bunkley and Mike Patterson. Klecko hasn't allowed himself one moment to think about that or digest the positive statements Johnson made about him. "Honestly, if you guys had not just told me, I'd have no idea what was said," Klecko said. "I don't think about that. "I've got to get through this week and then hopefully when the roster for St. Louis [the season opener] comes, you're name is still there. I'm just going to keep doing what I did to get here - keep pushing." It really is a remarkable story.
Klecko was just getting a handle on the Eagles' complicated offense when suddenly he was told his shot to make the team would come in mastering its complicated defense. There was also the little thing of an already undersized defensive tackle losing more weight to play fullback. "To tell truth, I'd only lost about 10 pounds to go down to fullback," Klecko said. "Putting the weight back on wasn't the problem. It was eating all that chicken and salad to get it off in the first place. "[Switching back to tackle] was easy. You just go back to what you know. The only thing was you had to get back in that pass-rushing and run-stuffing mindset. It wasn't a big deal." Klecko's experience playing up, down and all around the defensive line in New England helped him figure out Johnson's scheme. "I had to learn the whole front seven in New England," Klecko said. "It was just as complicated up there. Don't get me wrong because I'm still learning, but I think it's going OK." And as for that "Glecko" thing, "Jim can call me anything he wants because he's the boss. I'm not going to call him out on it."

EAGLES FEEL GOOD WITH KOLB AS BACKUP By Tim Panaccio Philadelphia Inquirer 8/28/08 Page 1 of 1 If you toss out the loss to Pittsburgh, the Eagles' reserves made a decent accounting of themselves in the preseason. They also got all the playing time last night in a 27-20 loss to the New York Jets at Lincoln Financial Field as the Eagles ended the preseason at 2-2. Like Jets quarterback Brett Favre, the Eagles' starters did not play. Quarterback Kevin Kolb worked just the first half for the Eagles, completing 13 of 21 attempts for 138 yards. A.J. Feeley played the second half. Coach Andy Reid said Kolb is "playing good football. I would even take it to the first couple of weeks in camp where he struggled with a couple of things, worked through that, and came out in a positive way." Reid said he feels good with the second-year pro as Donovan McNabb's backup. "We have a good situation there," he said. "Kevin is ready to play. And A.J. has already proven he can play. That's a real positive thing right now. I have no problem putting Kevin in a game right now. He'll do a good job." Although it was a preseason game, Kolb said it was special. "It was huge; it was my first start," he said. "Although it's just the preseason, and the starters weren't there with me, it's still big for me. It breaks me in slowly to hopefully what I am going to be one day. "The biggest thing now is to not regress. I've gotten progressively better; I just can't regress when I'm sitting on the
sidelines. I have to make sure I get plenty of reps in practice and keep my part." Jets running back Jesse Chatman (93 yards rushing, 87 yards receiving) spent a lot of the night eluding Eagles defenders. His 2-yard scoring run in the final quarter was the difference, with help from Quintin Demps' muffed punt turnover that set up Chatman's touchdown. "I wasn't in good position to make a catch," Demps said. "I've got to learn from that and move on." Feeley's 3-yard touchdown toss made it 20-20 in the final quarter. His best throw of the night was a 54-yard pass to Michael Gasperson on that drive. Kolb took the Eagles 40 yards in eight plays before David Akers made it 3-0 with a 40-yard field goal on the Birds' first drive. Kolb made a nice throw deep to Gasperson, who caught the ball out of bounds in the end zone - one foot in. The 23-year-old Kolb is feeling more comfortable in his second season. "The group we have out there right now I really like," Kolb said. "I don't know if it's the twos or what it is, but it seemed like everyone we had in there had great continuity. Everyone works hard, and that's all you can ask of those guys." Offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said Kolb had been "impressive in most situations" in the preseason. "There are a couple of things there that we are working on, and I think we've got that nailed down," Mornhinweg said. "I think he has a chance to be a pretty good quarterback, so we'll see how he keeps progressing." The sod wasn't very sturdy last night. Chunks of dirt were kicked up, with receivers and running backs losing
their footage on cut moves. That's what happened to Hank Baskett as he made a tough curl-in move deep in Jets territory on the Birds' second possession. Nonetheless, he caught a 25-yard pass from Kolb, setting up a first down at the Jets' 3. Lorenzo Booker ran it in for a 10-0 lead. Kolb has looked sharp throughout camp working with all the receivers. He threw for 77 yards (7 of 10) in the opening quarter alone while Brent Celek had three receptions for 29 yards. "Experience - that's the biggest thing there," Mornhinweg said about Kolb. "He's been through a full year, and going into your second year, most players are a little bit more comfortable with the system. . . . He can anticipate the upcoming events a little bit better." Defensively, Jerome McDougle, who has been impressive and seems to have made this squad, picked up a half-sack in the first half with Bryan Smith. They, along with linebacker Joe Mays, had a strong game, Reid said. The Birds' reserves had a solid redzone stand on the 4-yard line, holding the Jets to a 22-yard field goal to start the second quarter.

MAYS LIKELY TO TACKLE FIRST GOAL That means a base salary of $370,000 this year, or weekly checks of about $21,765 starting on Wednesday.
Friday, the Eagles released Togafau, who played in seven games last year, an encouraging sign for Mays.
PHILADELPHIA — At one point Thursday night, Lincoln Financial Field announcer Dan Baker just kept repeating himself.
“I think I've done what I can,” Mays said. “I feel like I've done what they told me to do. Go out there and play football and make plays. I've done what I've been asked. Now it's just wait and see if I made the team.”
Mays' progress has been a bit surprising, considering he played at a midmajor off the beaten path, he was the 200th pick in the draft, and he had to learn a new system.
“Eagles tackle, No. 51, Joe Mays.”
He'll know soon.
“Eagles tackle, No. 51, Joe Mays.”
“It's going to be stressful,” he said. “I'll just sit around and wait and see what happens.”

Not to Mays.
“Eagles tackle, No. 51, Joe Mays.” And so on. The Eagles rookie linebacker was officially credited with 12 tackles against the New York Jets, but everybody agreed he actually recorded far more. “I think he had 50 tackles or something,” starting linebacker Omar Gaither said. Seemed that way. “Joe was out there making plays tonight,” Gaither said. “You know, once he gets his hands on you, you know you're going down. He had a great game.” Good enough to make the team? Looks like it. Mays, a rookie sixth-round pick out of North Dakota State, began the offseason as a long shot. He was the 26th linebacker taken in this year's draft and had a tough assignment ahead of him, trying to elbow his way into a deep Eagles linebacker picture. All he's done the last six weeks is hit everybody near him. With final cuts due today, it looks like Mays has impressed his coaches enough to make the team.
Mays, who unseated Pago Togafau as the backup middle linebacker early in camp, led the Eagles in tackles in three out of four preseason games, including 12 on Thursday night in the preseason game against the Jets. He's everything you look for in a young middle linebacker — around the ball, physical, stout against the run, tireless. Learning pass coverage, something he didn't do at North Dakota State, has been a challenge, but his overall progress has been remarkable. “He's taken what he did in college and transferred it over to this camp,” head coach Andy Reid said. “You really saw him show up in college. The area that needs to improve is in the pass game, and he's been working very hard on that. We knew that would be a challenge for him, but he's getting better.” The Eagles will keep five or six linebackers, and it appears the guy is Rocky Boiman. Considered locks for the 53-man roster are the starters plus second-year backup Akeem Jordan. Rookie Andy Studebaker and undrafted rookie Justin Roland are still on the team. Rosters must be trimmed to the regular-season limit of 53 by 6 p.m. today.
“I wasn't surprised at all,” he said. “You get so many reps in practice. The more reps I got, the more comfortable I got. I knew pass coverage was something I needed to work on, and I worked my butt off, but I feel like I can still get better at it. “After the second preseason game, everything started to click. That's when it all kind of came together for me.” Mays also impressed coaches with his outstanding play on special teams. Considering the way he plays linebacker, he should be a big-time special teamer. “I knew special teams would be very important, that's what makes or breaks guys like me,” he said. “If anything, I tried to put more emphasis on special teams than defense.”

ROOKIE JOE MAYS MAKES THE EAGLES' ROSTER By PAUL DOMOWITCH Philadelphia Daily News 8/30/08 Page 1 of 1 JOE MAYS had the makings of a future practice-squadder when the Eagles opened training camp at Lehigh 6 weeks ago. Taken late in the April draft (sixth round, 200th overall pick) out of a Division I-AA school (North Dakota State), the 5-10, 245-pound linebacker seemed a longshot to make the team's season-opening, 53man roster. But sometimes longshots come in. Even though he says he will be holding his breath today when the Eagles announce their final cuts, Mays is in no danger of getting a pink slip. He has the team made. The rookie capped off an impressive training camp and preseason Thursday night with a 12-tackle performance in the Eagles' 27-20 loss to the New York Jets. "I've done what I can," he said. "I think I went out and did what they wanted me to do. Showed them I can play football and make plays. I'm just waiting to see if I make the team or not." Mays is a big hitter who has a knack for always being around the ball. Had a teamhigh eight tackles last week in the team's 27-17 preseason win over the New England Patriots. Thursday night, his biggest tackle wasn't any of the 12 he made against the Jets' offense but the one he made early in the third quarter on special teams when he held punt returner Jesse Chatman to a 1yard gain. Mays, who will back up starting middle linebacker Stewart Bradley, will mainly earn his keep this season playing special teams, although he also may see action in short-yardage and goal-line situations. "I think that was the most important tackle I had all night," Mays said. "They know what I can do on defense. But I wanted to come out and show them what I can do on special teams by going out and making
tackles. "I knew [special teams] were going to be very important [for me]. That's what makes and breaks players. If you can play special teams or not. More than anything, I was trying to put more of an emphasis on special teams than defense. But as it turned out, it seemed like I put more emphasis on defense." NFL player personnel people spend the summer bouncing from preseason game to preseason game, evaluating players who might become available when teams reduce their rosters. No Eagles player intrigued them more than Mays. "Is there any chance he slips through the cracks?" one asked before the Patriots game. By the time the game was over he knew the answer. Unless the Eagles were complete idiots, Mays wouldn't be slipping through the cracks. "I thought he did some good things," Eagles coach Andy Reid said after the Jets game. "He's taken what he did in college and transformed it to this camp. "The area where he needs to improve is in the passing game. He's been working very hard at that. We knew that would be a challenge for him. But he's getting better at it. It would've been nice to see him tip that ball down in the end zone [a 6-yard touchdown pass from Erik Ainge to David Ball that went over Mays' head]. He'll learn from that. The next time, he'll be a foot deeper and jump an inch higher and be in the right position to make that play." "The next time" . . . And there will be a next time for the rookie. "[Pass coverage] was something I needed to work on in college," Mays said. "Once I got here, they put a big emphasis on it. I just worked my butt off week and week out and am starting to get better at it." Reid and defensive coordinator Jim Johnson have been impressed with how
quickly Mays has gotten his arms around Johnson's complex defense. Another rookie, wide receiver DeSean Jackson, has done the same with Reid's offense. But Jackson had the advantage of playing in a pro-style offense at a BCS conference school [California]. The learning curve is slightly higher when you're arriving from a I-AA school. Or at least it's supposed to be. "We played a Tampa-2 [scheme] in college, which is a little similar to what Jim Johnson has here," Mays said. "I just carried over some of the verbiage that we used and just try to connect it with some of the things Jim Johnson does here. It worked out for me a little bit. I'm just glad I was able to learn that kind of stuff in college. It's helped me out here. "After the second preseason game [against Carolina], everything started to click. I started to feel more comfortable out there. I was thinking less and just trying to make plays." After Thursday's game, Mays was asked what the next 2 days were going to be like for him as he waited for the Eagles to make their cuts. "Stressful," he said. "I'm used to moving around. Being at practice or playing the game. Now, I've got to just sit around and wait and see if I made the team or not." He will. But even if he doesn't, Mays said he wouldn't be disappointed because he knows he gave it his best shot. "I know I came out and put all my heart into it," he said. "We'll just have to wait and see what happens. I'm upbeat about things and waiting for the next chapter in my life. "I think I have [proven he can play at this level]. No matter what kind of scheme they throw at you, if you can play ball, you can play ball. That's all I was trying to show. Even if I messed up, I wanted to mess up [going] 100 percent."

EAGLES ROOKIE MAYS IMPRESSING WHILE HE'S LEARNING By John Gonzalez Philadelphia Inquirer 8/19/08 Page 1 of 1 He isn't sure how it started. Sometime during the insufferable training-camp workouts at Lehigh, rookie middle linebacker Joe Mays picked up a nickname. For a first-year player who hasn't yet made the team, that normally would be cause for concern. You would expect it to be something wholly unflattering - a verbal extension of the hazing rituals that neophytes endure each season. Omar Gaither started it, Mays said. "Someone picked up on Omar saying it, and it's stuck with me ever since," the 23year-old said. Head-buster. That's what some of his teammates have been calling him. OK, so it's not exactly catchy, and you probably won't see it printed and sold on Tshirts outside Lincoln Financial Field. But as nicknames go, it's nicer than most sixth-round draft picks from a Division I-AA school could possibly hope for. Mays, who was an all-American and his conference's defensive player of the year during his senior season at
North Dakota State, quickly has earned a reputation for making big hits. In the preseason opener against Pittsburgh, Mays led the Eagles with five tackles, including one in which he upended Steelers rookie wide receiver Limas Sweed, dumping him on his head. Against Carolina on Thursday night, Mays added three tackles to his preseason statistics, though none was as vicious as the one he unloaded on Sweed. "He's making plays," said Gaither, one of the Eagles' starting linebackers. "You see him in on a lot of plays out there, so I think his progression is going well. He certainly makes it hard for offenses when you have a guy like that who's strong and who can run and who can hit." Of course, making plays is only part of what Mays is being asked to do to secure a job. As a middle linebacker, Mays - who was listed behind starter Stewart Bradley on the depth chart for the Panthers game - must learn defensive coordinator Jim Johnson's notoriously complicated playbook. He must know it well enough to tell his new teammates what their on-field assignments are. "That's a big thing for the middle linebacker," linebacker
Chris Gocong said. Two years ago, Gocong made the same leap from Division I-AA that Mays is attempting. The two played against each other when Gocong was at Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo. "Not only do you have to know the plays for yourself, but you have to tell everyone else what's going on." For a guy who didn't play football until his junior year in high school, and who received only one college scholarship offer, that's no easy task. Add in that Mays is a bit undersize at 5-foot-11 and 246 pounds, and it's clear why he was considered a long shot to make the team heading into camp. Still, Mays thinks he has a good chance to stick around if he can continue to make his teammates and the coaching staff notice him. On that front, so far, so good. "Joe has a knack for getting to the football," coach Andy Reid said. "It's just a matter of learning the defense and having a grasp of it at the middle-linebacker position, where you're in charge of everything. He just has to continue to learn."
Donovan McNabb Feature
CHAD JOHNSON ATTRIBUTES CHANGED TUNE TO MCNABB By Ashley Fox Philadelphia Inquirer 11/13/08 Page 1 of 1 He leaned against a makeshift bar in the ESPN green room before yet another in a seemingly endless string of TV appearances leading up to Super Bowl XLII in Arizona last February, and in an instant, Chad Johnson went from cordial to downright crotchety. A reporter called Johnson's cell phone to ask about Johnson's repeated demands that the Cincinnati Bengals trade him. Although he had spent the week telling anybody and everybody that he wanted out of Cincinnati, Johnson unleashed a string of obscenities on the reporter, hung up, murmured a few more curse words, and walked out onto the ESPN set, where he again talked about his unhappiness. You think Lito Sheppard was upset in the off-season after the Eagles signed Asante Samuel to a monster contract? Sheppard had nothing on Ocho Cinco. As it turns out, Donovan McNabb, that great communicator with wide receivers, helped Johnson adjust his attitude and make peace with the Bengals. Funny how things work sometimes. Johnson said yesterday that it was McNabb who convinced him to at least attempt to be a team-first player, shelve his personal disappointments, and act in the best interest of his teammates and organization. It was McNabb, whom Johnson called a close friend, who told the volatile and outspoken Johnson to cool it, to rejoin his team, and to play out this season, because, as McNabb apparently told Johnson, millions of people would like to be in Johnson's shoes. A richly gifted athlete playing a kid's sport for big sums of cash? McNabb told Johnson: It can't be that bad, right? "I blew his phone up," Johnson said yesterday as his 1-8 Bengals prepared to host the 5-4 Eagles on Sunday. "Donovan was a big influence. [He] really is one of the reasons why I really turned myself around and looked at my situation as more of a
positive outlook and just thinking about all the people that would love to play this game, you know?
season - only 37 catches for 349 yards and 4 touchdowns - but neither is anybody else.
"He took me in that direction, instead of thinking about, 'Oh, I'm tired of losing and I don't want to be here anymore,' but just thinking about, 'Man, a lot of people wish they were in your shoes just to have the ability to play in the NFL.' That kind of turned me around, and that's why I've been as positive as I have been this year, and even though we're losing, man, I've just been plugging away."
"It's very frustrating," Johnson said. "I can only speak for myself. I've been very positive and working hard just doing the things that I can to help my offense. . . . I don't have a choice but to stay positive. You know, I was very negative during the off-season, I would say somewhat of a distraction at that point, even though football wasn't going on. So for me, coming back, I think it was in my best interest for myself, for my team, this organization, to be as positive as possible."
Look at what we've learned about the Eagles' veteran quarterback in just the last two weeks. First, McNabb revealed last week that he had never voted, and had never even been registered to vote, before pushing the button for Barack Obama last Tuesday. From an educated, well-read man in his 30s, it was a fascinating revelation. Certainly, some people choose to voice their displeasure with the political system by refusing to vote, and apparently, that was McNabb's choice. At least until Obama. And now, according to Johnson, McNabb acted as a sounding board and sage to one of the most outspoken, volatile and selfcentered wide receivers in the NFL. Johnson isn't exactly humble. He changed his last name, or at least said he did, to Ocho Cinco to reflect his jersey number. (The NFL doesn't recognize the change, although the Bengals do.) But there was McNabb, who has a bit of a history in dealing with a wide receiver who was trying to blow up a team, trying to calm down Johnson and get him to see the broader picture. McNabb, in a way, kept Johnson from imploding the Bengals. Yes, Cincinnati is 1-8, but its problems aren't all Johnson's fault. He didn't cause Carson Palmer to have chronic elbow problems that will keep him out against the Eagles and could cause him to miss the balance of the season. Johnson isn't solely responsible for the Bengals' inability to put points on the board, or rush the ball, or gain yards. Johnson isn't exactly lighting it up this
Which, apparently, Johnson has done. McNabb was excused from the Eagles' practice yesterday for personal reasons, so he wasn't available to comment on Johnson. But you can't put it past McNabb, or for that matter Johnson, for trying to lay some groundwork for 2009. Johnson is under contract with the Bengals through 2011, and while they weren't willing to trade Johnson this past off-season, one never knows what will happen after this season. "I've always been a fan of [McNabb], and especially Philly," Johnson said. "The fans in Philly are the real deal, and that would be a real joy to give them a treat." So are you back to saying you want to get traded, Chad? "Oh, yeah. OK. Next question," Johnson said.

HEALTHY AGAIN, MCNABB IS LEADING THE EAGLES BACK By JUDY BATTISTA New York Times 11/7/08 Page 1 of 1 PHILADELPHIA — Donovan McNabb laughed with relief when a reporter finally changed the subject earlier this week from Barack Obama to something more pedestrian: Sunday’s game against the Giants. “Thank you,” he said. “I felt like I was running with him.” That is not a surprise. Few football players have been a lightning rod for controversy for as long as McNabb has, which explains his reaction to watching Obama during his presidential campaign. It felt to McNabb similar to the disputes, several of them race-based, that he has weathered since he was booed on draft day almost 10 years ago. But with his antagonists scattered — Terrell Owens to Dallas, Freddie Mitchell out of the N.F.L. and Rush Limbaugh far from ESPN — and his own performance drastically improved, McNabb has been drama-free so far this season. And that has allowed the harsh glare of the spotlight to fade, at least for now, into a glow of success. Even McNabb’s blog has occasionally been a forum for more debate. Lately, though, it has been filled with love for the Phillies, whose World Series championship run overshadowed the three-game winning streak that put the Eagles back into the National Football Conference East race. Amid the collapse of the Dallas Cowboys, the Eagles (5-3) have positioned themselves for a second-place tie with the Redskins if they can beat the Giants (7-1), who defeated them twice last year. “Last year, it seemed like every time we won one game, we lost two,” McNabb said. “We couldn’t get into a rhythm. In the previous years, it was the same way. When you get into a rhythm, your confidence level continues to grow, and it feels like whatever play is called, it could be that big play.”
Left unsaid was that McNabb’s laundry list of ailments — including a sports hernia, thumb and ankle injuries, and a torn knee ligament — contributed heavily to the inconsistency that has scuttled recent seasons and has shortened the patience of Philadelphia fans. But McNabb, who will turn 32 in less than three weeks, is almost entirely healthy for the first time since 2004, the season the Eagles reached the Super Bowl. His return to health has meant a return to efficiency. His completion rate is 63.2 percent this season, just decimal points below the career best he set in 2004 even though he has played with a revolving door of receivers who have been hampered by either injuries or inexperience. Against Atlanta last month, McNabb rushed for his first touchdown since his major knee injury during the 2006 season, an encouraging signal that he was closer to the player who terrified defenses than he had been in years. One more sign of good health: McNabb has been sacked just 13 times this season, well below the pace from last year, when he was sacked 44 times. That is especially important in any game against the Giants’ extraordinary pass rush. All of this has quieted speculation about when Kevin Kolb, whom the Eagles shockingly drafted in the second round last year, might take over at quarterback. Even McNabb has publicly speculated that he will not finish his career in Philadelphia. “For him, controversy aside, it’s always been about him being healthy,” safety Brian Dawkins said. “When he’s healthy, he is going to do what he’s doing right now, and that is lead this team, put the ball where it needs to be put, scramble for first downs, keeping the play alive with his legs, being able to put the ball downfield on the money. That’s what we expect out of him.” Still, McNabb has had oddly inconsistent performances even in victories, a worrisome trend if it happens against teams that are better able to gain and hold a lead than Atlanta and Seattle, against whom
McNabb started slowly before igniting. Against Seattle, he was 3 for 13 with a bad interception before completing 13 straight passes and finishing with 349 yards. Coach Andy Reid said McNabb was not entirely to blame for the streakiness. That the Eagles do not have a designated No. 1 receiver surely does not help; McNabb has completed passes to 15 players this season. “When you get in that situation, you’re just looking for those next couple plays to get into the rhythm,” McNabb said. “When you get into that rhythm, it feels like whatever pass play is called is going to be complete. It’s just like being in the zone in basketball. You feel like whatever shots you throw up, you’re going to make.” That is the confidence the rookie receiver DeSean Jackson said McNabb maintained on the field. As a child, Jackson said he followed McNabb’s career because he preferred mobile quarterbacks when he played video games. He also said it was because of McNabb’s status as a black quarterback in the N.F.L. “I always definitely looked up to him,” Jackson said. Among those who have followed McNabb’s career even longer is Obama, whose Chicago home is not far from McNabb’s high school. When they met three years ago, Obama told McNabb he was a big fan of his. “The thing that I think about now is, wouldn’t it be special if we make it to the Super Bowl and win and I get the phone call from Barack Obama?” McNabb said. “That would be excellent.”

MCNABB AND REID FIND BALANCE By GEOFF MOSHER The News Journal 9/7/08 Page 1 of 1 PHILADELPHIA -- There is no magic formula or exact science to explain their bond.
"We started something in '99 that we continued to stay with," McNabb said. "We know it's a building process. But I think the good thing that's helped our longevity so far is the fact that we've had success early." Having coached Brett Favre in Green Bay, Reid knew exactly what the Eagles needed when they hired him Jan. 11, 1999, to resurrect a franchise reeling from a 3-13 season.
It's simple, really. "I think we enjoy being around each other," Eagles coach Andy Reid said about his relationship with his franchise cornerstone, quarterback Donovan McNabb. "So it's not a love-hate relationship or a hatehate relationship. He knows how I operate and what I expect, and he's very self-driven. And it just works." Hard to believe, but it has worked for nearly a decade. Today's season opener against the Rams at Lincoln Financial Field marks the 10th for Reid and McNabb in Philadelphia, rarified air by today's NFL standards. "Not too many quarterbacks and coaches can say that they've had winning seasons like we've had -- NFC championship appearances, a Super Bowl appearance," McNabb said. "Also, we have a lot more years to go, and good things can happen." Few coach-quarterback combinations have survived long enough to celebrate their 10th anniversary. Don Shula and Dan Marino spent 13 seasons together in Miami. Marv Levy and Jim Kelly shared 10 in Buffalo. Len Dawson engineered coach Hank Stram's offense for 11 years in Kansas City, while Otto Graham did the same for Paul Brown in Cleveland from 1946-1955. Arguably the greatest coach-quarterback pairing in league history, coach Chuck Noll and his franchise golden boy, Terry Bradshaw, won four Super Bowl titles in their 13-year reign in the Steel City. McNabb and Reid are still waiting to hoist the Lombardi Trophy, but they've already broken one barrier: They are the league's longesttenured current coach-quarterback pair. Bill Belichick and Tom Brady enter season No. 9 together in New England, while Indianapolis' Peyton Manning and Tony Dungy prepare for their seventh. Nowadays, it's almost unheard of when a coach and quarterback spend five years together.
He needed a face, someone who would put the team on his back, someone who wouldn't waver under rampant criticism from fans and media, someone the franchise would rally around. With the No. 2 overall pick that April, he rolled the dice with McNabb. And today, with nine years of ups and down behind them, Reid appreciates the way McNabb has carried the torch. "Donovan is able to just kind of let things roll off his back," Reid said. "Every once in a while, he puts his foot down. But that's OK. That's the leadership in him coming out. That's alright. "I think the city appreciates that. I think the organization appreciates that. He's as competitive a guy as you'll find." McNabb has imagined the alternative. What if had been drafted by Cleveland with the No. 1 pick, or fell to Cincinnati at No. 3? What if his hometown team, the Chicago Bears, had traded up to get him? The Bears have auditioned 11 different starting quarterbacks since 1999, and produced just one Pro Bowl quarterback [Jim McMahon] in franchise history. McNabb made five straight Pro Bowls from 2001-2005, and will likely finish his Eagles career with most of the team's passing records. "The story could have been a whole lot different. It really depends on the type of organization that you go into, the coaches which you're being coached under, and the players around you," McNabb said. "I was fortunate enough to be drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles with coach Reid starting up and having that experience of coaching a guy like Brett Favre, an organization who went 3-13, coming off losing seasons, and then looking for change. "I've been fortunate, and not too many players can say that. Not that they're bad players or bad athletes. It's just kind of where you land. It may not work out, and you go somewhere else and have a lot of success." But success has only taken Reid and McNabb to
the doorstep of greatness. Since losing the Super Bowl to New England in 2005, fan backlash has intensified. It's not hard to find clusters of skeptics who think McNabb's and Reid's time has passed. Criticism of McNabb, owner of the league's third-highest winning percentage [.652] among active quarterbacks, has become a talk-show pastime. Among many critiques, they blame his accuracy, leadership and ego for the Eagles' title drought. "Those statements, to give a blunt word, [are] just ridiculous," safety Brian Dawkins, entering his 13th season with the Eagles. "To question what Donovan has meant to this organization ... I remember the time before Donovan, and I remember the time with Donovan. There have been two completely different stories with the consistency back there at quarterback." Last year, the bond between Reid and McNabb seemingly loosened when the coach drafted quarterback Kevin Kolb in the second round while McNabb was still rehabbing his surgically repaired right knee. The move was widely viewed -- and still is -- as Reid plucking McNabb's successor. At the time, McNabb admitted the decision surprised him. Reid insisted McNabb would remain his starter in 2008, but McNabb is more cognizant than ever that his future doesn't guarantee another 10 years here. In a perfect world, he would like to retire in the city where his career took root. But equally rare as 10 seasons with the same coach in the same city is finishing a career where it began. "Nobody expected Brett to leave Green Bay. It can happen to anyone," McNabb said. "If Dan Marino might not have retired, he might have been in a new uniform. Same for John Elway.

MCNABB PRIMED FOR RETURN TO PLAYOFFS, MVP SEASON By Adam Schein FoxSports.com 8/16/08 Page 1 of 1 Spending time with the Philadelphia Eagles on their final day training camp, there is one storyline that is crystal clear. Donovan McNabb is healthy both physically and mentally, primed for a Pro Bowlcaliber year, and will lead the Eagles back to the playoffs after an 8-8 campaign a year ago. You can lock that in. I've never been so sure about anything. I fully anticipate McNabb being in the mix for league MVP. According to all accounts, McNabb is having the best training camp that he's ever had. Nobody has ever doubted the talent and the leadership. It was the health holding McNabb back one year ago. The star quarterback had surgery at the end of the 2006 season to repair a torn ACL. It was obvious in watching him play last season that he was hurting during games. McNabb's athleticism was compromised. And it was hurting his mindset. Now McNabb will not get back to his 'salad' days at Syracuse or early in his Eagle career when he could easily make plays with his legs. But he be a major threat with his right arm and now can at least keep teams honest with the threat of the run, over 12 months removed from surgery. "You know, I was never 100-percent healthy last year," McNabb said recently. "You don't want to get too much into percentages because then it becomes a big issue. But I was never close to 100 percent. I felt like last year I was just really trying to prepare my body for the next week. This year, coming into this offseason I worked with the new trainers and worked a lot on strengthening the core, the back, the lower legs and getting my legs under me. And as a result, coming into this camp, I truly, finally felt 100 percent and ready to roll."
Forget Donovan's stats last year. Focus on the stretch run. McNabb finished last year with three straight wins. He stunned the Cowboys in Dallas, torched the Saints in a big game for New Orleans, and threw for 345 yards against the Bills in the season finale.
end LJ Smith is healthy. And Reid smartly plucked speedster DeSean Jackson out of California in the second round.
Eagles coach Andy Reid couldn't say enough good things about how McNabb has handled the last nine months.
"Well you hate to put that much pressure on a youngster," McNabb said. "You don't want to put that much pressure on one individual, in his rookie year, learning a little bit about the game we play while also learning a new offense, trying to learn his teammates. It's too much.
"I think he's really in a great place physically and mentally," Reid said. "He finished up the season with three really strong games and maintained that type of play through our mini-camp and OTAs and the offseason program, and it has carried into training camp. "He came into camp in great shape. And he's the team leader and he's handled that with great responsibility and grace. He's unique. He has that great sense of humor where he can be the funniest guy on the bus. At the same time, when he needs to crank it up he can get after you a little bit. To have a leader like that, from a head coaching stand point, you cannot get enough of that." The Eagles tried to nab Randy Moss for McNabb in the offseason. They kicked the tires on Chad Johnson, Roy Williams and Anquan Boldin. But the receiver depth chart looks at same at the top. Maybe I am the only one, but I don't think that's a huge deal.
There's a theory that Jackson could turn out to be the difference maker for the Eagles.
"I think with Kevin Curtis' second year in the system, Reggie Brown having another year under his belt of working with me as well as the rest of the offense, having LJ Smith back healthy pays dividends for us on the offense side. And also having Brian Westbrook, Lorenzo Booker and Correll Buckhalter at the running back position is huge for us. We have some depth. It's very important for us. And we want to use that to our advantage. We just have to continue to stay together, let the chemistry flow, and put up as many points as we can." McNabb is also comfortable in his role as mentor to Kevin Kolb. He hears the footsteps. He knows Kolb was Andy Reid's hand-picked young quarterback. McNabb knows that Kolb has enjoyed a fantastic training camp, impressing everyone. But McNabb isn't intimidated. He won't pull a Brett Favre and not talk to his young understudy. In fact, he is embracing Kolb.
Brian Westbrook is a go-to guy for McNabb. It's a main reason the running back was just rightly rewarded with a mega-bucks contract extension. With Westbrook's brilliance as a receiver and runner, McNabb doesn't have to worry about being the runner he was early in his career and shouldering the entire load on offense. Westbrook has been the team MVP and that makes things easier for McNabb.
"I cannot say enough good things about 5 (McNabb's number)," Kolb said. "We've become friends. He's taught me so much about the quarterback position. I've learned so much."
Kevin Curtis thrived in his first year in Philadelphia, putting up big numbers with 1,110 receiving yards and 77 catches. Reggie Brown hauled in 61 passes. After an injury-plagued 2007, pass-catching tight
Expect a brilliant season from No. 5.

Quintin Mikell Feature
EAGLES STRONG SAFETY MIKELL MAKING AN IMPRESSION By Rich Hofmann Philadelphia Daily News 12/17/08 Page 1 of 1 THERE IS a pretty orderly life cycle for a good NFL player: make the team, begin to contribute, become a starter, begin to get noticed around the league. That is where Quintin Mikell is, at the getting-noticed stage. In his first full season as the Eagles' starting strong safety, Mikell has quietly had a very, very good year. On a defense that has pretty much been rebuilt on the fly in the last couple of seasons, his development stands out. Strong safeties are not big-money guys or big-attention guys, but they are among the league's more versatile defensive laborers. At this point, people in the business have to be talking about Mikell as somebody to watch, if nothing else. "I hope so," he said. "You always want to feel like what you're doing is being noticed. I've had a pretty good season so far. My main thing is, I didn't want to be the weak link in this great secondary. I feel like I've done pretty well. "Every week, guys that I know from other teams, they tell me, 'You're doing well out there . . . You're having a great season . . .' That does feel good." Mikell was standing at his locker in Lincoln Financial Field early yesterday morning as he spoke. The Eagles' 30-10 win over the Cleveland Browns, their third straight, was done. The Pro Bowl announcement would come in about 16 hours. Mikell didn't make it. For the Eagles, only Brian Dawkins and Asante Samuel did, as reserves. That Mikell was skipped over at strong safety in favor of Arizona's Adrian Wilson was not an injustice as much as it was part of the process. He's still so new. Strong safety is not a big stat position, but there are some numbers: tackles, sacks,
passes defensed (broken up), interceptions and forced fumbles. If you look at those numbers, and you look around the NFC, Mikell is a leader. There are only a couple of guys on that list with a number in every column. Mikell is third in tackles among strong safeties, tied for first in forced fumbles, and no worse than second in any of the other categories. The variety of numbers for most of these guys suggests what the strong safety position has become - that is, not exactly interchangeable with the free safety but a lot more interchangeable than in the old days. When you see guys who have no passes defensed or interceptions - like former Eagles safety Michael Lewis, now with the San Francisco 49ers - you see an old-time, big-hitting, can't-really-run safety. But the list overall suggests the new dimensions of the position. On most NFL teams anymore, a strong safety who can't run, well, he can't play. Again, defensive numbers aren't everything - they're open to interpretation. For example, the Eagles publish their coaches' stats and list Mikell with a team-leading 152 tackles and four forced fumbles, double the official numbers. For whatever it's worth, here's the NFC list:
PlayerTack.SackPDInt.FF Milloy (Atl)860610 Bullocks (Det)830002
Still, if the numbers on that list don't enter Mikell into the Pro Bowl calculus - somewhere, somehow - then there shouldn't be a Pro Bowl calculus. He has to be in the conversation. It isn't a glamour position, true enough, but people have to begin to start noticing, and that's true even if Mikell will be overshadowed for as long as Brian Dawkins, he of the Hall of Fame resume, is playing alongside. Ask Andy Reid about this defense and he talks about Trent Cole to start with. But when it comes to young guys developing, he brings up middle linebacker Stewart Bradley and he brings up Mikell. Bradley has become a swaggering presence as he roams the earth, and you can see it happening. As for Mikell, Reid said: "I just think he's really one of the better safeties in the league right now . . . He is a ferocious player. He's smart. He's good against the run. He's good against the pass. [He] makes calls back there, adjustment calls. I really like the way he plays and then he jumps in on special teams and does that." And, to repeat: People in the NFL cannot help but notice, not anymore. "Some of it seems like a 'name' thing and, being a first-year starter, I don't really have a big name," Mikell said, after the Monday night game. "I still feel good about my season, though.

"The Pro Bowl was an individual goal that I did set for myself. I even said it during training camp, that I want to get to the Super Bowl and, as a personal goal, I want to make the Pro Bowl. I don't know if I've done enough or not. We'll see. It would be nice."

CONSTANT SNUBS ROLL OFF MIKELL By GEOFF MOSHER The News Journal 9/28/08 Page 1 of 1 PHILADELPHIA -- On the northern end of Eugene, Ore., sits Autzen Stadium, an homage to college football for 60,000 or so fans of the University of Oregon football team. They typically traverse the Autzen Footbridge to see the Ducks on fall Saturdays. Quintin Mikell had hoped one day they'd cross the bridge to see him. His high school, Willamette High, played its home games in Autzen's shadow, less than 10 miles away. But Mikell, who instead earned a football scholarship to Boise State, which led to starting at strong safety tonight for the Eagles against the Bears at Soldier Field, somehow wasn't University of Oregon football material. "I think they wanted me to walk on there," he recalled. "But I couldn't do that." Mikell was named the most valuable defensive player at Oregon's summer football camp going into his senior season. Still, he never got a recruiting letter from a Ducks coach. Never received a phone call. And when Oregon turned its nose at one of its own, naturally, nine other Pacific 10 Conference schools followed. "It just goes to show you how inexact science recruiting is, because how long has Quintin been in the league now?" said Jaguars defensive coordinator Dirk Koetter, who recruited Mikell to Boise State. Um, six.
"College coaches, me included, sometimes have a tendency to get too tied up in measureables; about height, weight and speed instead of just watching film and saying, 'This guy is making plays all over the place,' " added Koetter, who left his offensive coordinator post at Oregon for Boise State's head coaching job.
that out of your head, because you're more than that."
Mikell started every game he played at Boise, developing a reputation for throwing his 5-foot-10 body into every pile and excelling as a punt returner. He finished second on the school's alltime tackles list with 401.
Last year, he started five games at free safety in place of an injured Dawkins and led the defense with 48 tackles in the span, along with one sack, one fumble recovery and five passes knocked down.
Still, in 2003, all 32 NFL passed on him at the draft.
Then he moved to strong safety when Sean Considine underwent shoulder surgery and finished the year with 98 tackles, most in the secondary.
He signed a free-agent deal with the Eagles, made the team in training camp, earned special teams MVP in consecutive seasons and emerged as the Eagles' most feared young safety since Brian Dawkins. "I did say that we are mirror images of each other," Dawkins, the Eagles' 13th year safety, said. Mikell leads the NFL's top-ranked rushing defense with 35 tackles, with a sack and forced fumble. Dawkins observed Mikell's potential from the start. "He was relentless," Dawkins said. "He was fearless going in there and making plays. ... It's one thing to go in there and just dive in there; it's another thing to actually make the play." Dawkins had also recognized the chip Mikell carried from being overlooked so often. He pulled the pupil aside to impart some advice. "You've got to get your confidence to the point where you don't even think of yourself as a special teams guy," Dawkins told him. "You've got to get
Mikell took it to heart. In 2006, he knocked back Marion Barber twice at the goal line to help preserve the Eagles' 23-7 NFC Eastclinching win at Dallas on Christmas.
"He's a beast," cornerback Sheldon Brown added. "He's an animal. He's just an old-school football player. He'll have a bloody nose, bloody mouth, you're going to look at him and he's going to line up again and bring it." Last week, when asked which Eagles defensive backs he singled out on the scouting reports, Bears coach Lovie Smith rattled off name after name: Dawkins, Asante Samuel, Lito Sheppard. He failed to include Mikell, who has as many sacks as Dawkins and more tackles than anyone on the defense. Asked about the slight, Mikell shrugged and pointed to the lockers belonging to Brown, Dawkins, Sheppard and Samuel. "Of course, if you look at our secondary, I'm not a big name," he said. "Those are all big-name guys. That's fine. That's how it's going to be all year." That's how it's always been.

MIKELL'S BECOMING BIG HIT AT SAFETY Bob Grotz Delco Times 8/17/08 Page 1 of 1 PHILADELPHIA - For the first time in 13 years there's a chance Brian Dawkins won't make the biggest impact at safety for the Eagles. With each practice, each game and each film review, Quintin Mikell more and more has the aura of heir apparent to Dawkins, the veteran many believe is destined for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Too small to be drafted, the 5-10, 206pound Mikell has evolved into a fast and physical defender cut from a very familiar mold. "Remember when I told y'all that he was a mirror image of me, but you wouldn't listen?" the 34-year-old Dawkins said. "I meant that in every way. All he needed was his confidence to be where it is right now. The guy is playing flat-out great ball and I see that continuing to grow." The blows Mikell has delivered in the preseason are a notch above some of the shots he doled out in an expanded role when injuries shelved Dawkins and Sean Considine for chunks of last season. Mikell, listed at 5-10, 206, is wowing teammates on a weekly basis. "He's really a guy that has to be feared out there," cornerback Joselio Hanson said. "We were watching film of the (Carolina Panthers) game and everybody in the room was like, 'oooh, aaah,' play after play. Q is out there just throwing his body around and hitting people, him and Dawk. He goes out there and knocks heads around and that's all you can ask from a strong safety." Mikell has driven the long and lone-
some highway to the starting lineup. Boise State hardly was a football factory in 2003, and when Mikell joined the Eagles, the rookie sensation was Clinton Hart, who didn't play college football but wound up starting nine games. Mikell played special teams almost exclusively in his first four seasons with the Birds. It buried him on the defensive depth chart, as the Eagles counted on Dawkins and some combination of Michael Lewis, who made the Pro Bowl, and Considine. When the Eagles were hit with injuries at safety last year, Mikell made his push despite a sprained medial collateral ligament that knocked him out of two games. Starting 11 of 14 games, he registered 98 tackles, including a sack. He also intercepted a pass, forced a fumble and recovered a loose ball. "I think the games I started last year got me used to being out there ... I learned a lot, so now I'm at a level where I'm not thinking that much. (I'm) just going out there and playing," the 27-year-old Mikell said. "A lot of times when you're in a stepin role like I was last year, you're a little hesitant. You might see a play, but you're scared to make a mistake. You don't want to look bad. I kind of got through that phase. Now I'm at the phase where I know and I'm going to go after it no matter what. And nine times out of 10 my decision is going to be the right one. I have that comfort level now." With Dawkins and Considine in the last years of their contracts, and fourth-round pick Quintin Demps showing promise, the Eagles are in a transition period at safety. In fact, all the NFC East teams are a bit unsettled at safety.
The Dallas Cowboys invested in Ken Hamlin, who made the Pro Bowl with five interceptions, but aren't as comfortable with Roy Williams, an underachieving No. 1 pick. The New York Giants lost Will Demps (Houston Texans) to free agency and drafted Kenny Phillips in the first round to play next to veteran Sammy Knight (four interceptions). The Washington Redskins have LaRon Landry, but are still trying to get past the death of Sean Taylor last season. The only question for the Eagles is what kind of role, if any, Mikell will play on special teams. Though that was the way Mikell made the Eagles, his usefulness on special teams likely minimized his contributions defensively. "My gut sense is that special teams are coming along now and I think I need to focus on defense," Mikell said. "It's pretty hard to run down there on kickoff and then turning around and covering guys, it's pretty tough. And there's just a lot more studying that comes about when you're starting. I think special teams will be fine. But if in fact I'm needed out there I will be out there. We'll see what happens in the regular season."
Juqua Parker Feature
FREE-AGENT FIND PARKER CONTINUES TO BLOSSOM By REUBEN FRANK Burlington County Times 10/19/08 Page 1 of 1 PHILADELPHIA — It may have been the best thing Jevon Kearse ever did for the Eagles. In his injury-plagued, over-priced, underachieving career with the Eagles, Kearse didn't do a whole lot on the field. There weren't many sacks, big plays were few and far between, and his signing here was little more than a $30 million waste. Until the Eagles asked him about Juqua Parker, his old teammate from the Titans. “He and Jevon were friends, and Tom (Heckert, Eagles general manager) was interested in J.T. (Juqua Thomas, his name at the time),” Andy Reid said. “We asked Jevon about a couple of things that there were question marks on, and Jevon thought that he would be a good fit here. So we brought him in and just kind of gave him basically a tryout, and it worked out for him.” Kearse? The Eagles released him after the 2006 season. Parker? He's blossomed into exactly the kind of big-play defensive end the Eagles hoped Kearse would become. Ironic, isn't it? Parker, who changed his name to Juqua Parker after last season, ranks third among NFC defensive ends with 41/2 sacks to go with two tackles for loss and a 55-yard interception return that clinched the Eagles' 40-26 win over the 49ers in San Francisco last Sunday. After recording just five sacks in his first five seasons — four with the Titans, one with the Eagles —Parker has 151/2 sacks the last three seasons. He needs just two more in the Eagles' last 10 games to surpass his career high of six, set in 2006. Over the last three years, only one undrafted player — Adewale Ogunleye of the Bears — has more sacks than Parker.
“The big thing for me was just getting bigger and getting stronger, and it's paying off now,” Parker said. “I know the defense now, I've been here a few years, I know what they want me to do, I'm comfortable here, and as time progressed, I think all that just started coming together and it's enabled me to make some plays.” Parker's story is remarkable because three years ago, he wasn't even in the NFL. Wasn't even in a training camp. During the summer of 2005, he was home in Houston, training on his own. When 32 NFL training camps began, Parker couldn't even get a tryout. “I was just working out, focusing on staying in shape and waiting for that call,” Parker said. “I knew it was going to be a process and it might take a while, but I knew I could play. I was confident I'd get an opportunity, I just didn't know when or where. I knew once I got the chance, I could play in this league. I just kept a positive mind set and felt like something good would happen, and it did happen.” It happened when Heckert called Kearse, who had just finished his first year with the Eagles after spending five years in Tennessee — the last three as Parker's teammate. Based largely on Kearse's recommendation, the Eagles signed Parker. “He's a hell of a player,” Kearse said after the Eagles signed Parker back in 2005. “I really don't know what happened down (in Tennessee), but I know he was a ball player. I guess he just got caught up in the numbers or whatever, but it doesn't matter anymore. He's here now, and he's going to help us.
kept up the pace with 21/2 sacks in the win over the Steelers, another one against the Bears and then the monster game against the 49ers, which earned him GMC Sierra NFL Defensive Player of the Week honors. “He has a great attitude, very unselfish, very, very team-oriented, and you know that you are going to get an honest down out of him every snap,” Reid said. “He's going to give you everything that he has. He plays very hungry. “He's a little bit older now, but he plays very hungry, and he still has the athletic ability.” That was obvious when he ran that fourthquarter interception of J.T. O'Sullivan back 55 yards, the longest interception by an Eagles defensive lineman since Clyde Simmons' 60-yarder in 1989 and the longest INT return for a touchdown by any NFL defensive end since Kabeer GbajaBiamila's 72-yarder against the Bears on Oct. 7, 2002. The best game of Parker's career followed a week in which he didn't practice a single down because of knee inflammation. “That was the crazy thing, not being at practice and just doing what I knew I was supposed to do,” he said. “My knee held up pretty good. I wasn't 100 percent but probably 90 percent. The thing is, I'm not going to miss any games. I just like playing the game. I can deal with a little pain.” Every time Parker gets a sack, every time he makes a big play, he's doing it against a team that could have signed him for minimum wage three years ago.
“He can rush the passer, he can help out on special teams — he does everything you want a defensive end to do. He's got that great speed off the edge. Honestly, I feel like we stole a player.”
But don't ask him if he's out to get revenge against those who didn't believe he could play in the NFL.
Ironically, when the Eagles finally benched Kearse in the middle of the 2006 season, it was Parker who got the job. And he's been there ever since.
“I don't take it that way, I'm not like that,” he said. “I know what I can do out there, and that's all that matters to me. Maybe in their minds, they're thinking, "Hey, we should have gotten that guy.' Me, I'm happy where I am.”
This year, he's taken things to another level. After a very strong preseason, he's

WEIGHT GAIN HELPING PARKER POUNDS QBS By John Smallwood Philadelphia Daily News 10/3/08 Page 1 of 1 THE FUNNY THING is that Eagles defensive end Juqua Parker did not put on an additional 10 pounds after last season to enhance his pass-rushing skills. He wanted to be better against the run so he could stay on the field for more plays.
the depth chart, he figured to share a lot of snaps with Clemons and Abiamiri. But Parker, who signed a 5-year deal with the Eagles in 2007, stayed in Philadelphia during the offseason to work on strengthening a shoulder that he felt was not 100 percent healthy. "After my shoulder healed up, and everybody else left, I just got right back into the weight room the next day," he said.
"I'm thankful for the good word that Jevon Kearse put in for me," Parker said. "Once the Eagles invited me to camp, all I had to do was back up what [Kearse] had told them about me. "I had still been working out and hoping something would happen. All of a sudden, I got that call and fortunately I was ready." In another case of NFL irony, the rapid decline of Kearse last season led to Parker finding his way into the starting lineup.
But during training camp, the Eagles' defensive coaches kept commenting on how Parker looked more explosive and quicker coming off the end.
The strength training helped him pack on 10 more pounds of muscle, and since he didn't lose any speed in the process, it has enhanced his game.
It wasn't an optical illusion.
"I've just been working on getting off the ball a little quicker," Parker said. "I did pick up a little more weight so that I could be stronger against the run. I think the weight just added a little more speed and power. So far, I'm putting it all together."
"It's always like that in this league," Parker said. "You've got to be ready. When other things have failed and you are called upon, you've got to get the job done.
With Pro Bowl end Trent Cole coming in from the right side, Parker said he is taking full advantage of the attention opponents must pay to the opposite side.
"It's all about learning the scheme of the defense, doing what you're told to do, and everything will work out. Things change when you have to meet expectations. That's why I worked so hard during this offseason."
Through the first four games, Parker leads the sack-happy defense and is ranked in the top 10 in the NFL with 3 1/2 sacks nearly a quarter of his total for the first 7 years of his career. On Sunday, Parker hopes to contribute more to the Birds' league-leading total of 17 sacks by pulling down Washington quarterback Jason Campbell at Lincoln Financial Field. "My season has started out pretty good," said Parker, who also has seven solo tackles and four assists. "Hopefully, I can continue to keep doing what I'm doing and help this team win." The NFL is a league in which minimal advantages sometimes have a major impact. At 6-2, 250 pounds, Parker was a solid, if slightly undersized left defensive end for the Birds. Despite starting the final seven games and finishing with 63 tackles and five sacks last season, Parker wasn't guaranteed to become the permanent starter this season. The Eagles signed Chris Clemons, a passrushing specialist from the Oakland Raiders, and expected second-year end Victor Abiamiri would have a bigger role. Even if Parker was listed as the starter on
"Just by what Trent did last year, that just frees me up," Parker said. "Teams are focusing more on him. Now it might be a little bit balanced out more. They might start paying a little more attention to me. "But that's a good thing because then it's going to free up Trent to do more." Careers in the NFL can take unusual twists and turns. Originally signed by Tennessee as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Oklahoma State, Parker lasted four seasons with the Titans before being released after the 2004 season. Parker found his way into Eagles camp in 2005 as a free agent after former Birds defensive end Jevon Kearse, who was a teammate in Tennessee, put in a word for him with the coaches. With his career literally on the line, Parker capitalized on his second longshot opportunity.
Kearse is now back with the Titans, trying to revive his career, while Parker is proving to be a mainstay in the defensive line rotation.
Sav Rocca Feature
EAGLES PUNTER ROCCA ENJOYING SPECIAL YEAR By MARCUS HAYES Philadelphia Daily News 10/15/08 Page 1 of 2 IT WASN'T a bad start. Sav Rocca began his NFL career last year with a 42-yard average and a 34.5-yard net average over five games - not bad for a freshly converted Australian Rules Football star. This one's better. Rocca spent the Eagles' bye week in first place in the NFC at 41.9 net yards per punt, with a solid 46.3-yard average per punt. By comparison, Dallas' Mat McBriar another Australia native with an Aussie Rules background - went to the Pro Bowl last season with a 38.5-yard net average and a 47-yard average per punt. What's more, the Eagles have downed 10 of Rocca's 25 punts inside the 20, a 40 percent rate. McBriar was at 27 percent last season. Little wonder Rocca, the NFC special teams player of the month in September, is thinking of the ultimate honor a punter can receive: Pro Bowl. "That's the pinnacle of it," Rocca said. That's because, of course, punters don't usually get votes for regular-season MVP or Super Bowl MVP. Rocca didn't drag his family 10,000 miles from his homeland for a free trip to Hawaii. The Pro Bowl would be nice, but . . . "I want to win a championship. I want a ring. No one from Australia's done that before," Rocca said.
In fact, the main reason Rocca isn't lounging on the 200-acre property he owns with his brother 2 hours north of his native Melbourne is, despite his 748 goals in the Australian Football League, he never won the big one. Or even the medium-big one. "That was my goal in Australia: to play in the championship," Rocca said. "I played in three postseason games and we lost all of them. I've still yet to experience a winning postseason game." Considering that, and Rocca's pedigree, he is less Brett Favre - the NFL player with whom he once was compared - than he is Y.A. Tittle, also 0-3 in the playoffs. But then, Tittle is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Rocca probably won't make it there - he will be 35 next month - but ranking 13th on the AFL goals list makes him a decent candidate for the Australian Football Hall of Fame, when he is eligible in 2009. That would be a pleasant, if coincidental, postscript to his AFL life. Right now, he wants a Super Bowl ring, and he wants to fade away. Despite having served as a color analyst for Australia's SBS, which televised Super Bowl XLII in Australia in January, Rocca has no taste for a life of celebrity. He might have a future as an AFL commentator, but he doesn't even watch AFL games. "I don't think I'd do it," he said. "I told myself I'd never work in it. At one point in my career I was very inconsistent in my game. I was the focal point. It was either myself winning the game or it was myself losing the game. If we won, I'd played really good. If we lost, it was my fault. So, at that stage, I
came to dislike the media." He can commiserate with Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb. Rocca was 18 when he debuted with the Collingwood Magpies in 1992. The next season began a string of seven in which he led the team in goal scoring . . . though, after 1999, he was released following a 33-goal season, less than half of his average the previous six seasons. That's when the NFL first piqued his interest. After an atrocious tryout as a punter with the Packers, Rocca latched on with North Melbourne as a secondtier Aussie Rules player for six more seasons. Finally, the beating caught up with him. He'd had two surgeries on each knee, surgery on his right ankle, severe shin splints and a total tear of his right AC joint - that is, a separated shoulder. It happened in the first 3 minutes of an AFL game. "I got an injection, and played the remainder of the game," Rocca said. "All the nerves were severed. I couldn't feel any pain. I could feel it falling in and out of its joint. That's just the way things are in Australia." After that incident, getting famously nailed by Ravens linebacker Antwan Barnes in his first preseason game last year was a love tap. Rocca knew the perils of the NFL; still, life in America as the sixth Australian to play in the NFL seemed nicer, even if it meant spending about $100,000 in expenses to visit the States, get some punting instruction and try out - a yearly salary for a typical AFL player during Rocca's tenure.

EAGLES PUNTER ROCCA ENJOYING SPECIAL YEAR By MARCUS HAYES Philadelphia Daily News 10/15/08 Page 2 of 2
"I don't think there'll ever be a time," Rocca said.
It was a wise gamble on both sides.
His oldest son, Matthew, 6, splits his school year between the United States and Australia, and 3-year-old Lucas will follow that same path.
Rocca signed a 3-year, $1.3 million contract, beat out Dirk Johnson in the 2007 training camp, and, after a few hiccups as a 33-year-old rookie (the NFL's oldest ever) he has been more than worth the investment. In the last five games of 2007, he dropped 10 of his last 27 punts inside the 20, a precursor to this season's early proficiency. He has had much to learn: catching snaps; recognizing keys on the line; different kicks in different situations; cutting his time from catch to kick from 1.5 seconds to an acceptable 1.3 seconds; recognizing what defenses are trying to do, such as, if only one blocker is lined up wide on each side, he knows the other team is rushing eight, so he will have less time. Sav is getting pretty savvy.
That could well describe his personal life, too.
Rocca takes his family home after every season: He and his wife, Rose, have a tight extended family of about 50 in the Melbourne area. That means a January flight to Australia, a return to the States in April for 2 months of offseason work, returning the brood to Australia, leaving them in July for training camp, then having them join him in late August for the season. It takes a couple of days to adjust to Australia's time; it takes 10 days when they come back to the States. So far, Matthew's schoolwork hasn't suffered. "We'll stay here as long as we're happy," Rocca said. "If that's a year or 2, if that's 7 or 8 years, I'll continue."
He can sometimes see the returner cheating forward, so he'll sacrifice hang time for distance and try to drive his punt over the returner's head.
Last year, they were strangers in a strange land - New Jersey. They are happier now. They have met other Australians here. Rose has grown to better know her neighbors and the parents of her kids' playmates.
Sure, he can pound one 70 yards . . . but sometimes those maximum-effort shots misfire and only go 30 yards. Instead, he tries for a 50-yarder with 4.7-second hang time and puts his faith in the coverage team.
Assuming the family continues to adapt, Sav Rocca will stay as long as he can keep firing high and inside the 20 . . . as long as the money is good . . . and, as long as there's no ring on his finger.
"I can land the ball within a 5-yard circle," said Rocca, once known for 60-yard scoring kicks. Is he finally comfortable?
Sav Rocca Feature
ROCCA BECOMING IMPORTANT WEAPON By REUBEN FRANK Burlington Couty Times 9/23/08 Page 1 of 1 PHILADELPHIA — You could tell right from his very first minicamp workout that Sav Rocca had a big leg. A huge leg. You figured he'd be able to kick a football a long, long way. What nobody anticipated was this. Great touch. A knack for dropping balls inside the 20, often inside the 10. Even an ability to gun for the coffin corner, a lost art even among some of the most experienced NFL punters. Rocca has proven to be much more than just a powerhouse punter. On Sunday, in the best game of his short football life, he helped the Eagles win a tight field position battle with the Steelers with a series of thunderous punts and several unreturnable beauties inside the 20. “Big time, big time, big time,” Brian Dawkins said. “Those were huge, huge punts. I made my way to him every time to make sure I gave him a hard high five to let him know we appreciate that he put that thing down there every time deep in their territory. “Because there are certainly parts of their offense that a team won't run because they're backed up against the end zone and they don't want to make a mistake and give our offense the ball in plus territory.” Rocca didn't punt in the first half of the Eagles' 15-6 win Sunday at the Linc. His first punt, 81/2 minutes into the third quarter, traveled 28 yards but was fair caught by Mewelde Moore at the Steelers' 10-yard line. He had a routine 39-yarder later in the period, but early in the fourth quarter unloaded a 64-yarder from the
Eagles' 11 all the way to the Pittsburgh 25 that Moore was only able to return five yards, for a net gain of 59 yards. Moments later, he boomed a 54yarder that dribbled out of bounds at the Pittsburgh 6, a punt that set up the critical safety the defense drew by forcing Ben Roethlisberger to commit an intentional grounding penalty in the end zone. Rocca closed out a brilliant fourth quarter with a 37-yarder that pinned the Steelers on their own 7. “This was probably my best game,” Rocca said. “It's good to pin them back deep in their territory and really help the team out. It's really satisfying when you can do that. I thought I was going to have an easy game but then I have five punts and I pinned them deep three times. It's really satisfying ... And it means a lot because it helped us win.” With the offense inconsistent and missing several key guys, it was field position that fueled the defense's ninesack rampage. By the fourth quarter, with momentum swinging the Eagles' way, Rocca's teammates were all making their feelings clear after his big punts. “They're pretty excited,” he said. “You come off the ground and they're all high-fiving and knocking heads and stuff. It's awesome. It feels pretty good.” Rocca leads the NFL with a 44.1 net average and ranks 10th overall with a 46.9 gross. He's dropped half of his 12 punts inside the opposing 20, and only one punter — former Eagle Jason Baker of the Panthers (nine of 15) — has a better ratio. The 34-year-old Rocca, a former Australian Rules Football player who played his first organized football
game last fall, has boosted his career punting averages to 42.7 gross and 35.8 net, both third-best in franchise history. “(The issue) was consistency with him before,” head coach Andy Reid said. “I figured if we could have him hang around a while before he got too old, that he would figure it out. He works very, very hard and it all came together toward the end of last year, and that's quite a compliment to a guy. “He never played football, never had a helmet on. He's our holder, our punter (and) made a few tackles last year. Not bad.”
Asante Samuel Feature
SAMUEL HELPS THE EAGLES BY PLAYING HIS OWN GAME By Joe Juliano Philadelphia Inquirer 9/30/08 Page 1 of 1 Asante Samuel arrived in Philadelphia needing to deprogram himself from the intricacies of the defense he learned under Bill Belichick with New England and adopt the rules set down by defensive coordinator Jim Johnson with the Eagles. Then again, when you're one of the top defensive backs in the NFL, leading the league with 18 interceptions since the start of the 2006 season, you get some leeway. In other words, to some degree, the Eagles are letting Asante be Asante. "What we've done a little bit is just let him do some of his stuff that's made him such a good football player," Johnson said yesterday at the NovaCare Complex. "It's not like a rookie where you say, 'Do this, do that.' "The biggest thing for him is just learning the defense and proper leverage and alignment, and where his help is. That's what you have to learn, but we're still going to let him be Asante, too." The mix of theory and ability is working out well. Samuel, who signed a sixyear, $57.14 million contract on the first day of free agency, has two interceptions in his first three games as an Eagle, and he still regrets not having more after dropping a certain pick in the opener against St. Louis. Although he missed 12 days of training camp with a right-hamstring injury, the 5-foot-10, 185-pound cornerback seems not to have missed a beat. And he's doing it his way.
"They allow me to play to my strengths," Samuel said. "It's a good thing for me, a good thing for the defense. I like to play my style. I like to make plays. I just want to continue to do that and put myself in the best position possible to do that." Specifics on his style, however, are difficult to come by. "I can't tell you guys, because then you'll tell everybody," he told a crowd of reporters around his locker. "You've got to watch the film. Just watch me. I might be doing some things different than other people are doing. It's just my style of football, how I like to play."
said the Eagles were more aggressive. He said Johnson liked to blitz more and put his people in a spot to make plays when the opposing quarterback needs to get rid of the ball quickly. That plays to Samuel's strength and helps the Eagles, last in the NFL last season with 19 takeaways. "He's been such a playmaker as far as his ball skills," Johnson said. "He's probably a very unique guy right there." Samuel said that he embraces the playmaker role, that he'd rather not be a corner whom opponents like to avoid.
It's a good style. In his last two seasons in New England, Samuel picked off 10 passes in 2006 and six the following year. He also had six career returns for touchdowns.
"When they're not looking your way, that's not good to me," he said. "What's good to me is making plays on the ball and helping our team with game-changing plays."
Now he's finding his way in the Eagles' secondary - a process that will continue Sunday night against the Chicago Bears - with assistance from teammates Brian Dawkins, Quintin Mikell and Sean Considine, all safeties.
That's what Eagles fans expect of a guy who has been a part of two Super Bowl champions and received megabucks to try to help their team get there, too. That's fine with Samuel.
"Those guys," Samuel said, "have been a great help to me - actually communicating with me, helping me understand the defense and giving me the calls so I can be playing the right plays. Without them, I don't know where I'd be. I'd probably be a little lost." Dawkins has corrected him the few times he has been out of position, but Samuel has been a quick learner, a trait he developed having to decipher the Patriots' defense devised by Belichick, their head coach. Asked to compare defenses, Samuel
"Like [Miami linebacker] Joey Porter says, 'I don't want to be one of the guys known as getting a lot of money and not showing up on the field,' " Samuel said. "I have a lot of pride about myself, and I want to be the best. I want to be the best ever to play the game, so I'm just going to continue to work, stay humble, and go make plays."
Bryan Smith Feature
WEIGHTY ISSUES DON'T STOP SMITH By GEOFF MOSHER The News Journal 6/9/08 Page 1 of 1 PHILADELPHIA -- The smile widened on Bryan Smith's face when talk turned to the scale. "I weighed in today at 241," the Eagles rookie said proudly during a recent minicamp. "I'm gaining weight." What right-minded defensive lineman would be giddy about carrying the body weight of an NFL linebacker? At 241, Smith is smaller than middle linebacker Stewart Bradley by about 15 pounds and more than 20 pounds lighter than strong-side linebacker Chris Gocong. None of this, of course, matters to Smith, whose background involves accomplishing big feats in small places -- from starting defensive tackle in high school at 205 pounds to posting record-setting sack totals at NCAA Division I-AA McNeese State to transplanting from his small-town Texas upbringing to the skyscrapers of Philadelphia. And none of this mattered to the Eagles, who used a third-round pick to draft Smith in April. Something about his relentless motor, and the way his feet churn like pistons even while his upper body is barricaded by linemen nearly twice his weight, gives the impression that Smith doesn't waste time sizing up the obstacles before him. He's too busy looking past them -- kind of like another overachieving, under-sized Eagles defensive end who showed up at his first rookie camp in 2005 touting hustle over muscle. "He just reminds me of myself," Pro Bowl right end Trent Cole said. "He plays just like me." Matt Viator, who first discovered Smith's NFL potential, was hardly surprised to hear Smith has raised eyebrows this quickly in the professional ranks. "He must be doing well up there, huh?" the McNeese State football coach said. Viator recruited Smith in 2002, when the
senior had started at defensive end for Newton (Texas) High. Smith didn't play football until his junior season, starting off at defensive tackle. His twin brother, Ryan, played defensive end and earned a scholarship to Stephen F. Austin. Ryan was one year ahead of Bryan, who had been held back in fifth grade. As a senior, Bryan replaced Ryan at defensive end -- and a quarterback assassin was born. "He had a motor that you just ... I had never really seen," Viator said. "He played so hard every play." Viator and some coaches had traveled to Newton to scout a rivalry game against Jasper, which had taken command of the matchup late and, as Viator recalled, led by two touchdowns with about 30 seconds to play. The coaches had started to exit the stadium but stopped suddenly when Smith burst through the line and blocked Jasper's extra-point attempt. "That's just the kind of player he is," Viator said. But Smith still carried the body weight of an average Division I-A wide receiver, which is why Nebraska and Oklahoma stayed away and Smith instead accepted an offer from nearby McNeese State, about 120 miles across the Louisiana border. Smith showed up at 205 and tried to bulk up. Problem was, McNeese's facilities didn't measure up to the cafeterias and weight rooms of the Division I-A powerhouses, and Smith's scholarship and grant money -- $438 per month -- barely covered apartment rent. "We really didn't have a good meal plan. We really didn't have enough scholarship money. We didn't have none of that," Smith said. "And I didn't have money personally, so I couldn't eat." He could, though, stalk quarterbacks -better than anyone in the history of the school. Even at 220 pounds, Smith's burst off the edge carried so much torque, offensive tackles couldn't keep up with him. It started with his junior season, when he set a school record
with 13.5 sacks, and grew from there. He finished with 25.5 career sacks, most in school history. The measly kid couldn't be matched. But those stats tell only part of the story. "God, he's as tough a guy as I've seen," Viator said. "I don't know how many times the team doctor would come and tell me, 'Hey, look, we're going to hold Bryan out of Monday practice.' You look up, and here he comes. "I took a couple of butt-chewings through the years from our team doctor, but as I told our doctor, I'd look up and, hell, he's suited up." It's that toughness, along with well-honed spin and swim moves, that brought Smith to the Eagles, a team forever seeking the next great passrusher and notorious for scanning the small-school ranks for untapped resources. They found Gocong at Cal Poly and Cole, who played linebacker and defensive tackle in college before settling at defensive end, at Cincinnati. In April, after picking Smith in the third round, coach Andy Reid grabbed defensive lineman Andy Studebaker from Division III Wheaton in the sixth round and converted him to linebacker. Smith was blown away by the NovaCare Complex's state-of-the-art facilities, including the cafeteria selection that's helping him fill out his frame with muscle mass. "Not everybody is going to be a Trent Cole, but he's got that kind of speed and he will get bigger," defensive coordinator Jim Johnson said of Smith. "He should be a good pass rusher." Smith is impressing the coaching staff with his arsenal of moves and techniques. With fast hands that almost mirror the lightning under his feet, Smith uses them to push and pull his way around blocks. "It's like driving a car," he said. "If you got the hands on the wheel, you can turn the car whichever way you want to go." Usually, that's toward the quarterback.
Brian Westbrook Feature
FOOTBALL, NOT BUSINESS, ATOP BRIAN WESTBROOK'S PRIORITIES By Skip Wood USA TODAY 8/16/08 Page 1 of 1 BETHLEHEM, Pa. — At the end of their morning training camp practices at Lehigh University, the Philadelphia Eagles amble through one of the larger greeting lines you'll ever see. They begin at the far end of the stands and keep walking for more than 100 yards, high-fiving and shaking hands all the while. "Whoooooooo!," running back Brian Westbrook says after slapping the final outstretched palm. "My arm's burning. That's a workout right there." Hey. No pain, no gain. And Westbrook recently has gained plenty. Yet it appeared to be relatively painless. The Eagles agreed with Westbrook's contention that he had "out-performed" the five-year, $24.9 million contract he signed in 2005. They worked out a new deal worth $21 million over three years with $13 million guaranteed. To Eagles president Joe Banner, getting the deal done virtually was a no-brainer. "We're talking about a Hall-ofFame caliber player," he said after the new pact was announced last week. "This is a premier guy, leader, player. … Take somebody with that kind of talent and those
kind of intangibles that they bring to your team … that is the guy you want to make sure is feeling good about things if you possibly can." Not bad for a third-round draft pick in 2002 from Division I-AA Villanova. Westbrook is a two-time Pro Bowl pick. Last season he accumulated an NFL-best 2,104 yards from scrimmage and notched his second consecutive 1,000-plus-yard rushing season. Since 2004, his 6,769 yards from scrimmage are eclipsed only by 2006 league MVP LaDainian Tomlinson of the San Diego Chargers. "When you play well," Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb says of his teammate's new deal, "you get rewarded like that." Still, Tomlinson has become one of the league's more marketable players while Westbrook, mostly by choice, has kept a lower profile. He'll turn down nearly any endorsement opportunities that come his way. He says he has scant interest in becoming a marketing machine in the way that New Orleans Saints' running back Reggie Bush has. Westbrook also agrees with the observation that when the casual NFL fan considers the best running backs, his name probably is, at best, third or fourth. "As a player you have to be very careful about dotting all your I's
and crossing all your T's before you do anything else," he says while sitting under a large portable tent after a recent practice. "I take pride in that I'm going to do everything I can to be the best player I can be on the field before I do anything else. "I'm not going to sacrifice what I can do on the field for marketing opportunities or other different things." Even so, Westbrook acknowledges that doing things to give him a higher profile ultimately could benefit him as well as the team. "I can try to find a balance," he says. "And that's something I probably need to work on — trying to find that balance. As long as my play continues to get better, maybe I can find a way to reconsider some of those offers." Besides, he already has a firm endorsement from his coach, Andy Reid. "As I've said many times, I believe Brian Westbrook is the best running back in football," Reid says. "He can do it all from that position, whether it's running, catching the football or blocking." That's the brand of no-nonsense adulation that appeals to Westbrook. "As long as people who know the game know what I try to do," he says, "I'm happy."
Mark Whipple Feature
WHIPPLE SHOULD BE A BOON FOR EAGLES BY MARK ECKEL Trenton Times 3/16/08 Page 1 of 1 PHILADELPHIA -- Where do you want to start with new Eagles assistant coach, Mark Whipple? Do you want to talk about how as a young assistant coach at Union College, he played pick-up basketball games with future Princeton University basketball coach Bill Carmody? How about when he was the head coach at New Haven, he would get coaching tips and strategy from watching Pete Carril's Tigers basketball team practice? What about all he learned in a year with former NFL quarterback Roman Gabriel in the USFL? Or how the Steelers quarterbacks, including star Ben Roethlis berger, still call him all the time? Whipple's resume is extensive, and impressive. If the Eagles were looking for a coach to help quarterback Donovan McNabb get back on track, and at the same time tutor the future in Kevin Kolb, they may have found their man. Whipple's exact title with the Eagles is offensive assistant. In reality he is a quarterback guru, whose teams score a lot of points. At least they have everywhere he's been before landing with the Eagles this offseason. As a small-college head coach, Whipple took New Haven to the NCAA Tournament, guided Brown to their best years in the Ivy League and won a Division I-AA National Championship at Massa chusetts. Oh, by the way none of those teams were very good before he got there, and haven't been as good after her left. In his only foray into the NFL, he helped Roethlisberger go 15-1 as a rookie quarterback, and win a Super
Bowl in his second season. His offensive style has been called "The Whiplash". It's wide- open, exciting and fun to watch. It's also unpredictable. Something the Eagles haven't been recently. "You can't make adjustments," one opposing coach once said about Whipple, "Because you don't know what to adjust." Whipple, while at UMass, once went for it on 4th-and-1 from his own 28. "I'm one of those coaches who looked at fourth down, as an offensive down," he said. "In the NFL, it's a little different with better kicking games." Still, you get the idea if it was up to him, he'd still go for it 4th-and-1. Oh yeah, here's something for Eagles fans who want to see the team become more of a 50-50 run/ pass team, he likes to throw the ball. "I do believe you have to run the ball to be successful," Whipple said. "You need some balance. But do you run to set up the pass, or do you pass to set up the run? That's where philosophies differ." When Whipple became the head coach at Brown, he didn't have the players to play the way the Bears had played, and lost, in the past. "I wasn't going to line up in an I-formation and just pound away with a bunch of undersized linemen," he said. "So, I took a lot of what I learned from Roman and put it into play." Whipple isn't a Run-and-Gun coach, although he has used five receiver sets at times. What he does, or at least what he has done, is use his players to the best of their ability, while at the same time taking advantage of what he sees in a defense. "The bottom line is you better be able to do both, run and pass, and make it as difficult as possible for the defense," he said. Sounds good. And so does Whipple, who in a
lengthy sit down came across very insightful. So how did the Eagles get this guy? You've heard the story about how Andy Reid heard Bill Cowher sing his praises and figured he bet ter talk to the guy. But why was he available? Well, when Cowher retired in Pittsburgh, new head coach Mike Tomlin brought in a new staff and Whipple wasn't included. Still under contract, he took a year off from coaching and spent the Rooney's money. But he knew he'd get back into coaching sooner than later. "I spent a year doing a lot of things I had never been able to do before," Whipple said, "Becoming a better father, maybe a better husband. It was good for me. But this is what I do. This is who I am." Right now, at least, he's an Eagles assistant. "I knew I'd be back this year," he said. "I just didn't know where. I was a free agent. Now, I wasn't Randy Moss, but I had some calls. I liked the Eagles. I liked what I saw here." The Eagles might find out they like Whipple, too.
