Weapon X where are you when I need you

As mad as I am about the out come of the game I could kind of see it coming. There is a rule in Philadelphia for our team to be good we have to not only have a good defensive line and nice corners we have to have a hard hitting safety that makes you scared to run the ball. Brian Dawkins was that hard hitting safety. You would think you had something going and out of nowhere you see deuce zero slicing in to lay a hit on a running back or a tight end over the middle and separate them from the ball.

To lose Jim Johnson was hard, he was a great defensive coordinator for 10 years you knew just how dominant the defense was going to be, and the defense was dominant because his general on the field understood the type of play that not only he wanted but that we expect as Philadelphia Eagles fans. If you are going to come onto a field with us we expect to you be looking over your shoulder, we expect running backs to be out there with their heads on a swivel wondering when somebody is going to lay a thunderous hit on them. And that thunderous hit was gonna come from one source mostly one of our safeties whether it was the free safety or the strong safety one of them was going to come in there and nail you so hard your teeth chattered and your knees buckled.

Our offense may from time to time have been finesse but our defense we might bend but not only were we not gonna break we were going to pound the living hell out of you. It was nice to see our D hold it's own against the run and save a few huge pass plays our pass defense was pretty good two, we twice had blown coverages it happens in games and versus a good team that will cost you.  We also had a lot of offensive miscues if you lose the turnover battle you usually lose the game. We lost the turnover battle as well, but 20 used to be damn good at forcing fumbles and from time to time he would even get an interception or two, I know I have to move on but basically I really haven't had a chance to express my sense of loss. I am a firm believer that some people should never don a different uniform then the one they initially wore, unless they did not show greatness in their first uniform. Michael Jordan should have always been a chicago bull, Allen iverson and charles barkley should have always been sixers, shane battier a grizzly, shaquille o'neal a laker, emmit smith a cowboy, Tj houshmanzada a bengal, bruce smith a bill, dante culpepper a viking, and Brian Dawkins should always have been an eagle. Hell I thought I saw some undeserving player sporting his #2 jersey on the field.

You earn greatness, if you haven't matched the numbers of the person who used to wear that jersey you shouldn't even touch it. Nobody has worn #92 since Reggie White left Philadelphia and nobody should be donning number #20 either. That man was an icon in our secondary over 10 years of duty patrolling our secondary, a pro bowler for most of them I am glad he is still having success in denver but yeah screw denver we got nothing for our weapon and in a game where any other time you would be scared to come over the middle the cowboys were way to comfortable
