SPREADING THE LOVE
Although they are not necessarily household names, the Eagles
receiving corps has been very productive over the past 3 years, which
is impressive considering there has been a great deal of turnover
with the personnel involved. While no single player has put up mon-
ster numbers, the offense’s success hinges on the ability to spread
the ball to a variety of different targets.
2008 Highlights:
• The Eagles have 8 players with 20-or-more recepts., 9 players with
200-or-more yds. and 9 players with at least 1 receiving TD

MAGNUM TE
Originally drafted in the 5th round of the 2007 draft by the Eagles, TE

yds. and 1 TD in his 8 career starts.
Celek’s 2008 Highlights:
• Has a career-high 21 recepts. and 271 yds. in 2008

44-ydr. on 11/2 at Sea. His 131 yds. were the most by an Eagles TE

148 yds. at StL.

special teams: “He’s just a guy who knows how to play
football. He ends up in the right spot, he takes coaching

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.”
• Defensive Coordinator Jim Johnson on what progress Jordan
has made: “He’s the fourth linebacker. He can play, he can
start, he could start at WILL for us, and we have a lot of
confidence in him. He’s a good linebacker; he could start in
nickel. We have three starting linebackers, but he’s right in
there as the number four—and he could be number three at
any time.”
• LB Stewart Bradley the competition Jordan provides: “He's
just a really good player, really athletic, really smart. 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

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 (163), 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 131 games
together; the most by a tackle tandem in Eagles history.

QUOTES:
• 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.”

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

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 foot-
ball. 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

A six-year veteran, Tracy White signed with the Eagles
on 10/14/08, a week after being released by the
Green Bay Packers. A strong special teams performer,
White has racked up 66 career special teams tackles
in 68 games with the Packers (2006-08), Jaguars

favorite players as Randall Cunningham, and cur-

• Draws inspiration from his father, Emanuel, who
was rendered legally blind from a brain tumor he
suffered from over 20 years ago. “It happened when
I was in the first grade,” said White. “He never let it
get him down. He has a great sense of humor and I
really admire the way he has been able to live his
life. He is the best dad I could ever ask for.”
Tracy and Emanuel enjoy playing the card game
spades together and talking about the NFL. “My
dad is a big fan of the Cowboys, so we’ve had fun
together throughout my life since I was an Eagles
fan growing up,” said White. “Now that I’m playing
with the Eagles, I’m sure the conversations will be a
little more intense.”

EVERY BREATH IS PRECIOUS FOR
EAGLES' WIDEOUT BASKETT
By MARCUS HAYES

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 con-
verted 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 sub-
stitute 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 person-
nel 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 liv-
ing 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 team-
mates 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 cir-
cumstances, rocked Clovis, an Air
Force base town of about 33,000 - or,
about half the capacity of Lincoln
Financial Field.
Eric Roanhaus has coached Clovis to
10 state titles and eight runnerup fin-
ishes, but he made sure Baskett
always understood that no title was
worth dying for.
"Hank," he told Baskett, "you know
when you've had enough. If we're
Hank Baskett Feature
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 offsea-
son, he said. "I get my rest. I stopped
the partying and drinking and every-
thing."
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 asth-
ma 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.
"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."
With Brown and Curtis hurt, after
three games, Baskett has 12 catches,

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 con-
tinue 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 athleti-
cism (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

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 defi-
nitely 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 protec-
tion.”
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 hesitat-
ing he'll tell you that all three con-
tributed to wins. And that's really all
that matters to him.
“You know me, I just want to win, and
Hank Baskett Feature
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 dili-
gently 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 opportu-
nity. That's been my whole career —
whenever I get a chance, just make the
most of it.”

BASKETT SET TO FIGHT FOR HIS JOB

PHILADELPHIA -- A peculiar scene
on the last day of this week's Eagles

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 him-
self.
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 proba-
bly 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.

healthy and ready to challenge Baskett
for slot receiver snaps.

forced special-teams maven Quintin

EAGLES' BRADLEY WON'T TAKE
STARTING FOR GRANTED

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 per-
formed cartwheels.
Sure, Bradley's potential is the rea-
son 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 red-
carpet 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 work-
out.
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.

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 engi-
neering degree in 2005 from
Cal Poly San Luis Obispo -- a school
known for producing renowned engi-
neers, 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 lineback-
ers that can handle the load
Stewart Bradley, Chris Gocong and Omar Gaither Feature
intellectually is important."
None of this, of course, matters to
Eagles diehards who demand blood-
thirsty 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, especial-
ly 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 coordina-
tor 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 two-
time 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 sea-
son.
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

BUCKHALTER PROVES
PERSEVERANCE CAN PAY OFF

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 fol-
low, and the longer you're in the busi-
ness, the easier it gets.
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 con-
stantly broke down.
Correll Buckhalter Feature
"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 play-
er."
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 produc-
tive enough to attract the attention of
a team that might play him more.

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 ter-
rific 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.
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.

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
"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 nod-
ded his head.

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, how-
ever, 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 deter-
mined 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 explosive-
ness."
That power and explosiveness was on dis-
play 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 quar-
terback Donovan McNabb, switched into
fifth gear and went 20 yards for a touch-
down, finishing the play by leaping over
Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor at the 4-
yard 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 bet-
ter 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 chang-
ing. 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
Correll Buckhalter Feature
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 press-
ing. 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 dur-
ing the first minicamp of 2002, and
was lost for the season.
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.
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
Correll Buckhalter Feature
productive plays in the NFL - some
spectacular, like his touchdown
against Pittsburgh.
"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.
"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 touch-
es.
"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 sec-
ond 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."

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 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&M-
Kingsville, 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 her-
itage 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
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.
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.
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 persist-
ence. 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&M-
Kingsville churn out four NFL offen-
sive 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
Juan Castillo Feature
went to college to play football, not to
learn biology.
He wrote an essay about how he want-
ed 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 first-
round draft pick for the Eagles. In
high school, he was a complete

of his senior year, and they both

"He molded me into the player I

became."

Mayberry struggled when he first got

to Philadelphia, playing several posi-
tions before nailing down a spot at
right guard. Castillo, Mayberry says,
was loyal but didn't treat him any dif-
ferently 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 peo-

from my mom, how hard she worked
and how caring she was. So I wanted

COLE HELPS DEFENSE CRUSH GIANTS
By Ray Parrillo
Philadelphia Inquirer

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 min-
utes 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 buoy-
ant 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 unpre-
dictably 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.

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 des-
peration mode for the rest of the sea-
son, 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.

DAWKINS: FATHER FIRST,
FOOTBALL PLAYER ALWAYS
Mike Sielski

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 disappoint-
ing 8-8 record; three different
injuries that caused him to miss
significant portions of training
camp, the preseason and the
regular season; the subtle sugges-
tions 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 chal-
lenges that accompanied the pre-
mature 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 help-
ing 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 mis-
carry, according to the American
Pregnancy Association, a non-prof-
it organization in Texas that con-
ducts 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 pedi-
atric cardiology at Children's
Hospital of Philadelphia, said in a
telephone interview that the doc-
tors 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
Brian Dawkins Feature
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 (pro-
nounced chee-AH-nee and see-
AH-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 suf-
fering 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 peri-
ods of apnea, the suspension of
normal breathing, are often
connected to it. In fact, each condi-

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
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 tax-
ing.”
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.

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 din-
ner; nap until 10 p.m.; begin
again.
“I was a walking zombie,” he said.
“I'm dealing with stuff emotional-
ly, 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,

DETERMINED DAWKINS BELIEVES
HE CAN STILL GET THERE
Mike Sielski
Burlington County Times

Second of two parts
PHILADELPHIA — To watch the play
unfold was to wonder: Where's Brian
Dawkins? The New
Orleans Saints faced a third down-
and-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 half-
second 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 any-
more?
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 prema-
turely 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 twin-
s' 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 bruis-
es,” he said, “instead of
Brian Dawkins Feature
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 ordi-
nary 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 contem-
plated 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' histo-
ry 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

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-sea-
son. 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 impli-
cation 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 lis-
ten to Brian Dawkins, in that
moment, was to believe every word.

DAWKINS A FATHERLY FIGURE AT
HOME AND WORK
By Bob Grotz

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 team-
mates.
“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 did-
n’t have one of those stellar seasons
Eagles fans have come to expect, play-
ing 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.
Brian Dawkins Feature
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 depres-
sion and life issues that nearly cost
him
his job – and much more.
These days Dawkins has a faith, spiri-
tuality 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 con-
tract
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

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 participat-
ed in the voluntary practices, is anoth-
er
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. Chubby-
cheeked 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 mas-
sive arms. They know daddy's face. It's the
same face and eyes that
have followed them since birth. The dan-
ger 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 test-
ed 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 com-
mitment the stalwart Dawkins
usually gave to football waned.
Consequently, the maniacal "B-Dawk"
Eagles fans and the NFL were so accus-
tomed 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 dif-
ferently," 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 prece-
dence over everything. But,
you can say I got hit with a double-wham-
my."
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 every-
thing had to be done twice.
Feeding. Changing. Bathing.
Brian Dawkins Feature
"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 20-
second 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 sea-
son with Dawkins. He
wasn't as prepared as he likes to be enter-
ing a season. His goal was
to play himself into condition during train-
ing 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 every-
thing 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

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 mat-
tered 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 foot-
ball like he expects.
"We'll see Brian Dawkins again this sea-
son, 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 sea-
son. 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 lit-
tle while longer."

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 annu-
ally plays a game of heightened impor-
tance, 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 Army-
Navy game, Eckel will smile and remem-
ber. Then, he will look ahead to the morn-
ing, 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 awe-
some, 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 sea-
son, 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 heart-
breaking 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-win-
ning 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 under-
dogs — 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 front-
office depth chart.
Unlike Army-Navy, which has self-con-
tained ramifications, the Eagles-Giants
game will provide multiple ripples. But
Eckel didn’t serve time in the Navy with-
out 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 vic-
tory 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 col-
lege 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 conver-
sational 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 for-
mer 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
Kyle Eckel Feature
for the separation, but the Globe story ref-
erenced prior episodes of alleged miscon-
duct involving behavior at or around par-
ties.
Eckel has no criminal record, the report
stressed — and apparently has no ill-will
toward the Navy. That’s why he was plan-
ning 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 talk-
ing 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 foot-
ball 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 pass-
es the Linc, and then again as it turns into
the Meadowlands. He’ll think about heroes
and rivalries, and how they have connect-
ed. Mostly, he’ll think about how they may
connect again.

HANSON TURNING THE CORNER
REUBEN FRANK
Burlington County Times
11/30/08
Page 1 of 1
PHILADELPHIA — Joselio Hanson
admits it. He was concerned.
When the Eagles went out and signed
Asante Samuel this offseason, Hanson
wondered about his playing time,
wondered where he fit in.
He was the No. 3 corner last year
behind Lito Sheppard and Sheldon
Brown, and now he was No. 4.
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 him-
self 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
Warner, with the Eagles already up 7-
0, set up Brian Westbrook's second
touchdown and gave the Eagles a 14-0
lead on their way to a 48-20 rout.
He's the first Eagles cornerback with a
sack and interception in a two-game
span since Brown back in 2004.
“I like starting,” Hanson said. “I'm a
good player. I can hold my own out
there. It feels good to play and to con-
tribute.”
Hanson now has as many intercep-
tions 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.
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 foot-
ball 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 nick-
el 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
Joselio Hanson Feature
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 corner-
back.
“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 some-
thing 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.”

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 line-
backers 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 11-
sack season in 2004.
Considering many thought he was on
the brink of getting cut during the off-
season 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 pay-
ing 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 sea-
sons, 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.”
Darren Howard Feature
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 non-
Olympic 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

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 Jean-
Gilles. Heck, even punter Sav Rocca
drew another attaboy from coach
Andy Reid at Monday's news confer-
ence.
But the guy I was impressed with did-
n'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 reputa-
tion 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 scram-
bles left ... and into the arms of defen-
sive 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 com-
bine 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 offsea-
son, trying to reclaim a reputation as
Darren Howard Feature
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 offen-
sive 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 prob-
lems."
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 bet-
ter."
From where I sit that has already hap-
pened. 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 open-
er, 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

"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 was-
n'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 care-
ful 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 was-

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

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

JACKSON SET TO CASH IN ON CHANCE
REUBEN FRANK

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

KLECKO'S PASS RUSH ABILITY NO JOKE
By GEOFF MOSHER

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 coordina-
tor 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 remain-
ing 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.")

Most of it, though, is hustle.
"Man, Kleck is quick and slippery,"
Bunkley said. "He just knows how to

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 com-
ing to Philadelphia.
Klecko registered two tackles for a
loss.
"He's a natural defensive lineman,"
defensive end Jerome McDougle said.

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 interest-
ing 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 5-
11, 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 pock-
et.
"I've been hearing that [he's a long
shot] since I've been in the NFL," said
Klecko,
who has played defensive tackle, full-
back 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

what I did to get here - keep pushing."
It really is a remarkable story.
Dan Klecko Feature
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 mind-
set. 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 pre-
season.
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, complet-
ing 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 posi-
tive way."
Reid said he feels good with the sec-
ond-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 bet-
ter; 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 defend-
ers. 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 touch-
down.
"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
Kevin Kolb Feature
their footage on cut moves. That's
what
happened to Hank Baskett as he made
a tough curl-in move deep in Jets ter-
ritory
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 red-
zone stand on the 4-yard line, holding
the Jets
to a 22-yard field goal to start the sec-
ond quarter.

MAYS LIKELY TO TACKLE FIRST GOAL
REUBEN FRANK
Burlington County Times
8/30/08
Page 1 of 1
PHILADELPHIA — At one point
Thursday night, Lincoln Financial
Field announcer Dan Baker just kept
repeating himself.
“Eagles tackle, No. 51, Joe Mays.”
“Eagles tackle, No. 51, Joe Mays.”
“Eagles tackle, No. 51, Joe Mays.”
And so on.
The Eagles rookie linebacker was offi-
cially credited with 12 tackles against
the New York Jets, but everybody
agreed he actually recorded far more.
“I think he had 50 tackles or some-
thing,” 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 offsea-
son 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.
That means a base salary of $370,000
this year, or weekly checks of about
$21,765 starting on Wednesday.
“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.”
He'll know soon.
“It's going to be stressful,” he said. “I'll
just sit around and wait and see what
happens.”
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 chal-
lenge for him, but he's getting better.”
The Eagles will keep five or six line-
backers, 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 undraft-
ed rookie Justin Roland are still on
the team.
Rosters must be trimmed to the regu-
lar-season limit of 53 by 6 p.m. today.
Joe Mays Feature
Friday, the Eagles released Togafau,
who played in seven games last year,
an encouraging sign for Mays.
Mays' progress has been a bit surpris-
ing, considering he played at a mid-
major off the beaten path, he was the
200th pick in the draft, and he had to
learn a new system.
Not to Mays.
“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 some-
thing 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 line-
backer, 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 any-
thing, 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, 53-
man 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 train-
ing 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 team-
high 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 1-
yard 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 tack-
le 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 com-
plete 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 rook-
ie.
"[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
Joe Mays Feature
quickly Mays has gotten his arms around
Johnson's complex defense. Another rook-
ie, 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 col-
lege, which is a little similar to what Jim
Johnson has here," Mays said. "I just car-
ried 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 col-
lege. 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 insuffer-
able training-camp
workouts at Lehigh, rookie mid-
dle linebacker Joe Mays picked
up a nickname.
For a first-year player who has-
n't yet made the team, that nor-
mally 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 23-
year-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 pos-
sibly 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 pre-
season opener against
Pittsburgh, Mays led the
Eagles with five tackles, includ-
ing 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' start-
ing 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 compli-
cated 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 mid-
dle linebacker," linebacker
Joe Mays Feature
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 your-
self, but you have to
tell everyone else what's going
on."
For a guy who didn't play foot-
ball until his junior year in high
school, and who
received only one college schol-
arship 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."

CHAD JOHNSON ATTRIBUTES
CHANGED TUNE TO MCNABB
By Ashley Fox
Philadelphia Inquirer
11/13/08

He leaned against a makeshift bar in the
ESPN green room before yet another in a
seemingly endless string of TV appear-
ances leading up to Super Bowl XLII in
Arizona last February, and in an instant,
Chad Johnson went from cordial to down-
right 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 yes-
terday that it was McNabb who convinced
him to at least attempt to be a team-first
player, shelve his personal disappoint-
ments, 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 out-
spoken Johnson to cool it, to rejoin his
team, and to play out this season, because,
as McNabb apparently told Johnson, mil-
lions 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 yes-
terday 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 rea-
sons 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?
"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."
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 revela-
tion. 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 self-
centered 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
Donovan McNabb Feature
season - only 37 catches for 349 yards and
4 touchdowns - but neither is anybody
else.
"It's very frustrating," Johnson said. "I can
only speak for myself. I've been very posi-
tive 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 dis-
traction 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."
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 pedes-
trian: Sunday’s game against the Giants.
“Thank you,” he said. “I felt like I was run-
ning 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 suc-
cess.
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 them-
selves 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 pre-
vious 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 sea-
sons 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 per-
cent 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 shock-
ingly 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 worri-
some trend if it happens against teams
that are better able to gain and hold a lead
than Atlanta and Seattle, against whom
Donovan McNabb Feature
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 what-
ever pass play is called is going to be com-
plete. It’s just like being in the zone in bas-
ketball. 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 pre-
ferred 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.
It's simple, really.
"I think we enjoy being around each other,"
Eagles coach Andy Reid said about his relation-
ship with his franchise cornerstone, quarterback
Donovan McNabb.
"So it's not a love-hate relationship or a hate-
hate 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 hap-
pen."
Few coach-quarterback combinations have sur-
vived 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 longest-
tenured 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.
"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.
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 competi-
tive 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 fran-
chise 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
Donovan McNabb Feature
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 dif-
ferent 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.
"I'd love to end it here, and I want to. You hear
about all the players that retire here and all the
gifts they get, but that's no time soon. That's
years from now."

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 physi-
cally and mentally, primed for a Pro Bowl-
caliber 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 hav-
ing the best training camp that he's ever
had. Nobody has ever doubted the talent
and the leadership. It was the health hold-
ing 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 per-
centages 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.
Eagles coach Andy Reid couldn't say
enough good things about how McNabb
has handled the last nine months.
"I think he's really in a great place physi-
cally and mentally," Reid said. "He fin-
ished 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 car-
ried 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.
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.
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
Donovan McNabb Feature
end LJ Smith is healthy. And Reid smartly
plucked speedster DeSean Jackson out of
California in the second round.
There's a theory that Jackson could turn
out to be the difference maker for the
Eagles.
"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 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 foot-
steps. 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.
"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."
Read the buzz words again — healthy and
comfortable.
When was the last time you said that
about Donovan McNabb.
Expect a brilliant season from No. 5.

CONSTANT SNUBS ROLL OFF MIKELL
By GEOFF MOSHER
The News Journal

PHILADELPHIA -- On the northern
end of Eugene, Ore., sits Autzen
Stadium, an homage to college foot-
ball 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 foot-
ball 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, some-
times 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.
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 all-
time tackles list with 401.
Still, in 2003, all 32 NFL passed on
him at the draft.
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 anoth-
er 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
Quintin Mikell Feature
that out of your head, because you're
more than that."
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 East-
clinching win at Dallas on Christmas.
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.
Then he moved to strong safety when
Sean Considine underwent shoulder
surgery and finished the year with 98
tackles, most in the secondary.
"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 second-
ary, 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 appar-
ent to Dawkins,
the veteran many believe is destined
for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Too small to be drafted, the 5-10, 206-
pound 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 facto-
ry 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 collat-
eral 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.
Quintin Mikell Feature
The Dallas Cowboys invested in Ken
Hamlin, who made the Pro Bowl with
five interceptions, but aren't as com-
fortable 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 contribu-
tions
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."

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, under-
achieving 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 sur-
pass his career high of six, set in 2006.
Over the last three years, only one undraft-
ed player — Adewale Ogunleye of the
Bears — has more sacks than Parker.
“The big thing for me was just getting big-
ger 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 could-
n't even get a tryout.
“I was just working out, focusing on stay-
ing 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 posi-
tive 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 rec-
ommendation, 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 play-
er. 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.
“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.”
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.
This year, he's taken things to another
level. After a very strong preseason, he's
Juqua Parker Feature
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 fourth-
quarter 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 Gbaja-
Biamila'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 mini-
mum wage three years ago.
But don't ask him if he's out to get revenge
against those who didn't believe he could
play in the NFL.
“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.”

WEIGHT GAIN HELPING PARKER
POUNDS QBS
By John Smallwood
Philadelphia Daily News

THE FUNNY THING is that Eagles defen-
sive 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.
But during training camp, the Eagles'
defensive coaches kept commenting on
how Parker looked more explosive and
quicker coming off the end.
It wasn't an optical illusion.
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 tack-
les and four assists. "Hopefully, I can con-
tinue 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.
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 strength-
ening a shoulder that he felt was not 100
percent healthy.
"After my shoulder healed up, and every-
body else left, I just got right back into the
weight room the next day," he said.
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.
"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."
With Pro Bowl end Trent Cole coming in
from the right side, Parker said he is tak-
ing full advantage of the attention oppo-
nents must pay to the opposite side.
"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.
Juqua Parker Feature
"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.
Kearse is now back with the Titans, trying
to revive his career, while Parker is prov-
ing to be a mainstay in the defensive line
rotation.
"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.
"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."

At 6-2, 250 pounds, Parker was a solid, if Originally signed by Tennessee as an

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 pass-
rushing 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
undrafted rookie free agent out of
Oklahoma State, Parker lasted four sea-
sons 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 oppor-
tunity.

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 aver-
age 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-sea-
son 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 pedi-
gree, he is less Brett Favre - the NFL
player with whom he once was com-
pared - 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 candi-
date for the Australian Football Hall
of Fame, when he is eligible in 2009.
That would be a pleasant, if coinciden-
tal, 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 ana-
lyst for Australia's SBS, which tele-
vised 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 inconsis-
tent 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
Sav Rocca Feature
came to dislike the media."
He can commiserate with Eagles quar-
terback 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 second-
tier 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 could-
n'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 typi-
cal AFL player during Rocca's tenure.

It was a wise gamble on both sides.
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.
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.
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.
"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
"I don't think there'll ever be a time,"
Rocca said.
That could well describe his personal
life, too.
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 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."
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

ROCCA BECOMING IMPORTANT WEAPON

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 beau-
ties 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 appreci-
ate 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

when you can do that. I thought I was

... 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 nine-
sack rampage.
By the fourth quarter, with momen-
tum swinging the Eagles' way, Rocca's
teammates were all making their feel-
ings 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.

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, lead-
ing 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 lever-
age 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 work-
ing out well. Samuel, who signed a six-
year, $57.14 million contract on the
first day of free agency, has two inter-
ceptions 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 train-
ing camp with a right-hamstring
injury, the 5-foot-10, 185-pound cor-
nerback 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 dif-
ficult 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."
It's a good style. In his last two sea-
sons in New England, Samuel picked
off 10 passes in 2006 and six the fol-
lowing year. He also had six career
returns for touchdowns.
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.
"Those guys," Samuel said, "have been
a great help to me - actually communi-
cating with me, helping me under-
stand 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
Asante Samuel Feature
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.
"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."
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.
"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 contin-
ue to work, stay humble, and go make
plays."

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 mini-
camp. "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 line-
backer Stewart Bradley by about 15
pounds and more than
20 pounds lighter than strong-side line-
backer 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 defen-
sive 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 stadi-
um 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 near-
by McNeese
State, about 120 miles across the
Louisiana border.
Smith showed up at 205 and tried to bulk
up. Problem was, McNeese's facilities did-
n'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 cov-
ered 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 did-
n'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 jun-
ior season, when he set a school record
Bryan Smith Feature
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 prac-
tice.' 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 pass-
rusher and notorious for scanning the
small-school ranks
for untapped resources.
They found Gocong at Cal Poly and Cole,
who played linebacker and defensive tack-
le 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.

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 assis-
tant 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 basket-
ball 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, excit-
ing 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-for-
mation 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 play-
ers 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

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.
