Was amazed that Dawkins went to Denver. Read reports of him "on the decline", but each and every Philly game that I saw he looked like an absolute stud at safety. One of the best in the league.
I was crushed he left. Not that I blame him..the Denver deal was miles better than what Philly offered him. I can only take comfort in the fact that Philly always seems to know the right time to let veteran star go...Trotter, Douglas, Vincent among others.

As for him being on the decline, he started the season poorly. He played horrible in the week 2 Dallas game. He played very good against Pitt in week 3 I think it was, and had some poor games after that. But the last 3rd of the season he was absolutely awesome. I actually think he was defensive player of the month in Dec. He lost more than a step, but has a super high "football IQ" and still may be the best in the box safety in the league. He blitzes well and forces tons of fumbles, and still hits like a truck. I hope he does well, he is probably my favorite player over the last 10 years.
