The only way to understand just how beloved Dawkins is in Philly is to realize that when he returned to the linc for the first time since leaving the eagles, fans wore his broncos jerseys to the game. As a lifelong eagles fan, that does not usually happen.
Woooow!!!! That speaks volumes, but I'm not surprised especially after watching his highlights seeing his Hall of Fame speech and learning about him I'm a long time Cowboy fan I'm thinking about getting one of his Eagles jerseys OUT OF TOTAL AND COMPLETE RESPECT = for him being a TRUE of God as I strive to be, his intensity passion and style of play, my birthday is the 20th of April, and I'm also a big fan of Wolverine.
No it definitely doesn't
They didn’t boo him either
Holy crap in Philly!?! Thats pure respect at the highest level
He’s a beast so I understand that sentiment
It is astonishing to me that someone with his level of intensity does not curse. One of my favorite Philly athletes ever 💚
That is knowing were your strength comes from. Many will never understand it. Most don't believe it, but God is the reason he was able to play the game the way he did. Don't take it from me watch his interviews and you will see a God Fearing Man who God granted talent that can't be taught.
One of my all-time favorite Eagles players. I was at the Eagles game against the Broncos when he returned to the Linc. Eagles fans went crazy. I have a Broncos Dawkins jersey and it's my most worn jersey.
Why did he leave the eagles ?
@@chriswhite8657 didnt wanna pay him
@@chriswhite8657 because he wasn't meant for the Eagles 💯💯💯
@@TNTguygaming We in Philly have never forgiven the organization for that, they have tried to make it up to him by offering him positions and whatnot but he has never accepted and we respect him even more for it, he’s tied for my favorite player of all time with Ray Lewis.
@@westillrock5ringz576 i mean im a cowboys fan too but i live in philly, bdawk forsure belonged in philly, he was the embodiment of the players they like the most
Damn this got me fired up I’m about to walk up in the office with a bear crawl
🤣 they gone call animal control
Had the opportunity to work with Brian and his family on a project a few weeks back. Really down to earth guy!
What'd you guys work on?
??? Answer the question ^^^ @walshdog61
Not even an Eagles fan but I LOVE Brian Dawkins. Always cheered for him. One of my favourite players and you always appreciated him
And one of the best of all time. Wish he was still playing!
Wish players could still hit like that, too.
Trash
He’d be broke from all the penalties 😭
Top 3
@@brenstenlindsey his hits were clean tho technique was crazy another reason I loved him so much
Weapon X was one of my favorite safeties to watch definitely top 5 all time
The man was just a different breed 💪🏼. So electrifying on the football field from the pre-game entrances to the pre-game talks with teammates to the intensity to the hard hits. He’s the reason why I played safety and I am just so grateful to grow up and watch one of my favorite safeties game in and game out give it his all.
Just imagine if Brian Dawkins & Ray Lewis played together 😳 🔥💣💥
Double the smelling salts on the sidelines
With Warren Sapp on the d-line
There will never be another safety like Dawkins every time I think of this man the 2004 NFC Championship Game can’t forget that
Alge Crumpler hit! haha blasted
Ed Reed, Polamalu
The way the league is now, he’d pull a nick saban and go to court for the dumb tackling rules😂
My all time favorite player. A monster on the field and a class act off.
The last play was a forward lateral. Take it back 🏈
Best Safety of his generation and the stats prove it.
I love Dawkins but I’d still say Ed Reed was better
Really tough to say who was the best when you have Troy Polamalu, Ed Reed, and Brian Dawkins all playing during that era.
@@agenta1263 better overall was B dawk. While others had coverage stats he had best overall stats
@@Tharb05 actually Ed Reed has the overall stats...
@@kingcaesar4817 he has the most interceptions. Overall goes to Dawkins neither Ed reed nor Polumalu come to close to his sacks, forced fumbles and tackles. They both may have more interceptions but that’s it. So yeah overall Dawkins.
A player from a by gone era when the safety position could actually impact the result of the game. Dawkins, Thomas, Reed, Polamalu... we will probably never see their like again.
Rodney Harrison too
Thomas?
Can’t forget the late great Sean Taylor!
@@dimariobell8499 Earl Thomas. Legion of Boom
Imo there is no one on a defense that can impact a game as much as an hard hitting safety like Dawkins! If you want to see just how impactful a hard hitting safety can be in a game go back and watch the Seattle Seahawks vs Denver Broncos game where Kam Chancellor sent a message when Manning threw his first pass to Demaryius Thomas! Kam lit DTs world up! After that play I knew the game was over! Every WR especially DTs head was on a swivel and WRs was dropping passes left and right after that one hit! Chancellor had 10 tackles, a fumble recovery, 2 pass deflections and a interception that game and should've been without a doubt the SB MVP of that game! Brian Dawkins is my absolute favorite Safety of all time tho as his passion to me was unmatched!
I remember when I use to make op teams on madden I would always go for Dawkins first. The man was insane
It doesn't get any better than the intro to Madden 08.
@@paulgaither iconic.
Almost became one of those all time defenders that damn near willed his team to a ring off the strength of his leadership
Heart of philly and id say easily top 5 safety all time
Huge Raiders fan and I loved this dude. Miss this era of football. Nothing like having a safety taking dudes heads off in the secondary
The man made me an Eagles fan. I’ll love him forever 🫡
💯💯💯 same
2:12 watching soar from behind to tackle him literally like an eagle is insane
As a kid, looked up to this dude. He was a freaking idol to me. I'm almost 30 and I still watch his highlights from time to time.
Tears watching this. Lifelong Eagles fan so ashamed we trade him away
I think we let him walk
Die hard giants fan.. hated facing this guy twice a year. Big respect
So now you know what we Eagles fans thought of LT
@@scazermazz Reggie White is an even better comparison.
@@Soundofsilver2007 Reggie was great as an Eagle. Wasn't as good as a Packer. LT was way more disruptive. Jaworski still has nightmares of LT coming up blindside
The most underrated safety of all time
He is my all time favorite player EVER
To hell with coffee...I'll just watch this every morning and I'm set.
As a Washington fan, I loved B Dawk.
He played like no one else. It was like Ronnie Lot 2.0 for me.
I miss seeing that level of play in football
Ronnie Lott
Ed Reed/Brian Dawkins
Troy Polumalu
An absolute warrior
Always a blast to watch this man play
Basically the twin flame of ray Lewis playing safety
greatest safety ever
I Love This Man
Legendary ✊🏼
Fly Eagles Fly 🦅
Dawk is my favorite player of all time and the reason I love football.
Dawkins played with that inner rage that made him one of the best!
When he came to the BRONCOS I I LOVED IT ONE OF THE BEST TO EVER PLAY !!
Favorite player of all time and i met him a couple times and must say hes a great person.
If you can lay Brandon Jacobs down, hands down one of the best! 💯
Or the bus
Best safety to do it, a true beast in every sense of the word
Oh trust us dawk we love what you did on the field. Nothing better than old school football guys.
Brian Dawkins carried the spirit of the NFL
Passionate Hard Nosed Football
Dude would hit the crap of you and say praise God or hallelujah. One of the best in his era
2:01 I cannot get over how musclier Bdawk’s neck and his intensity in explaining the hit …
I’m from Britain and only been into NFL for couple years. See Brian Dawkins on life story’s and loved the way he played the game. So pissed I missed out the whole era. When players were real men.
True, check out some of the defenses of the 70s and 80s aswell. Especially steelers and vikings for 70s and cowboys for 80s. Some of the toughest mfs you can find.
@@Trent_Moorman Thanks for the recommendation as spongeing up all the football I can. Hate that the season takes so long to come round.
@@jackiekinner3826 if you want more eagles check out the buddy Ryan years. Buddy also started the 46 defense made famous by the Bears
One of the best to ever suit up
Favorite player of all time 🦅🦅
He has one of the most impressive D-plays I’ve ever seen before. He once blew up 3-Olinemen for the cowboys (like an old-school wedge buster) and made the tackle on the running back…
I loved Brian. I was 5-6 when they won there first nfc championship. Crazy memories come to mind. Guy is what football should be hype, power, speed, and the love of the sport.
Nobody i mean nobody was more passionate on the field and about the game than weapon x
🐐 🐐 🐐 @ the safety position!
The waterboy in real life 🤣
I’m a lifelong bears fan but B. Dawk was always one of my favorite players. The intensity, the passion, how could u not root for this dude. I don’t think any player struck more fear in their opponents (in the 21st century) as much a weapon X did.
He literally could have played any position on the field that he wanted to. To be able to hit like that and still have hands and speed is insane.
Ed Reed is a beast! And he could never be replaced in Baltimore. With that said. Do you imagine if B.D played his entire career alongside of Rey Lewis?!?!? That would be a terrifying Defense to play against and PTSD for all Receivers!!
I’m a Giants fan and this made tear a bit . The passion is beautiful. Dawkins my SS Goat for life Sean Taylor’s second
If you could still play defense like this today. There would be no QBs playing into older age and passing records being broken all the time.
My favorite Eagle of all time. My daughter's first Jersey was his. He's the reason I wanted to play DB in middle school/high school. Weapon X the legend.
I know I did not just see him hit the bus like that😂 He was such a beast!
ACT OF FOOL!!! 🐐 😤😤😤 weapon x was one of a kind. 💪
Him, kam, and Sean T defined the safety position
Crazy to think how many current coaches were part of Dawks career. Andy Reid first of all, Spags, John Harbaugh, McDermott. Wild
Entrance od 🔥🔥
definitely my favorite eagle ever
his intensely is so fun
🤣😂Dawkins is so animated and intense, the music in the background, "I'm coming Cooley, I'm comin....."
Non-chaulant jog and shrug from Chris, "I mean you can hit me all you want....."🤣😂
Yo the hit he laid on The Bus 💪🏾 stopping him in his tracks 😤😬
We do Brian. Thank you.
Strong like ox, agile like cheetah. Had the pleasure growing up and watching this animal terrorize the field
He was an animal amongst humans ⚡️‼️
💯 he was the City 🪖
2:14 the way he just Flys in lmaoo
Dam i miss this dude being on the field 🦅. Dawkins and D Jacc, favorite players all time!
Play football with love it's beautiful
The German Suplex will forever be my favorite tackle by Dawkins
As a Giants fan, I hated watching this man pulverize my favorite team….but I enjoyed the show he put on while doing it. We may never see his likes again.
We loved him then we love him now and we always will love him
Greatest safety of all time
Just as good defending the run as he was the pass
Him and Ed Reed were my favorite safeties Ed Reed both hit and play coverage and both played on special teams
Ya dig it
When Mike Vick has bad that's what he see....this man was a beast...I'm a falcons fan but I loved watching BD play...
From a Raiders fan this is one of my favorite Safety love that guy
Oh my word
The early 00s era NFL was something different man
"dawk day afternoon" that game in 2002 when he had a TD, a fumble recovery, INT, and a sack. Texans? Yeah they were an expansion team those guys still made it thru an NFL camp to make the roster.
Awesome
Just a football player, through and through
He is my all time favorite player in nfl history
he is in my top 3 favorite eagles players and he left us when i was young, so i don’t even remember him that well
One of the best players in philly sports history
Look at some of the names this guy hits. Jerome Bettis was known as The Bus, and Dawkins flattened him like he was a pedestrian. He strips the ball from LaDainian Tomlinson, takes it in, and Tomlinson can't catch him. Between sacks and interceptions, he victimizes Michael Vick 3 times in this video. Steve Young. Terrell Owens. Rodney Hampton. Ben Roethlisberger. These guys were fast and tough, and Dawkins absolutely laid waste to them.
My idol Brian Dawkins! Fly Eagles Fly
the greatest player to ever grace the field, and you will never convince me otherwise.
all time greatest!
All time favorite players:
1. Tom Brady
2. Barry Sanders
3. Brian Dawkins
4. Troy Palomalu
5. Calvin Johnson
Safe to say. He tackle people for living and he the best at it. 🎉
Him and Ed reed the best safeties of all time
Brian Dawkins and Ray Lewis are two of the cleanest hitters I ever seen
GOAT 🦅🦅🦅
Pro Bowl plaque of Dawk sits on the wall right at the dinner table.
WOW!
A man of faith that terrorize his opponents! Kind of reminds me of some devil dogs I know!
Raiders fan! By way of LosAngelesCAUSA2022
Fierce competitor but also what a great entertainer.
I miss having Dawkins on the Eagles. Jenkins was good/great, but Dawk was just plain great.
