15 Minutes of Brian Dawkins Biggest Hits

Added: 2026-05-28

[00:00:00]So an infusion of new blood and really helped the burgundy in gold. And here's Banks pump fake and he is going to BE HIT BY BRIAN DAWKINS. That was a legal hit because he was in the field. Now Dawkins has the crowd going back over the middle. Short gain and Dawkins was there to level Rod Gardner.

[00:00:25]Does anybody play better than Dawkins?

[00:00:29]Well, he scares me. He really scares me because when you look at him, you know he is all football and nothing but football.

[00:00:38]Little pump fake now over the middle.

[00:00:41]Crumpler. What a throw. What a hit. What a catch. Algae Crumpler hung on. Watch the little double move now on Michael Lewis. Turn out go right back up and at regular speed. Look at the clean hit by Brian Dawkins.

[00:00:54]>> That wasn't that big an accomplishment.

[00:00:56]Bologoney, guys. That's a pretty pretty good job.

[00:00:59]>> Hasselbeck gets the blitz for Russell and Dawkins body slams it.

[00:01:05]>> WWF >> except that field's not nearly as soft as that ring mat.

[00:01:11]>> Chicago lost to Houston. Tampa Bay lost at home to Oakland. And then Philadelphia took care of the rest as Brian Dawkins steps in front of Barryian and breaks up that play as we see. Oh, Dawkins thought he thought thought he had a had an easy interception on that one.

[00:01:30]A blitz from the Eagles. Elon Manning finds the open man, Carter. And he's got a first down inside the Eagle 35 to the 34. 14 yds.

[00:01:42]Flying tackle by Brian Dawkins >> after his second interception of the night. Abear has thrown one touchdown.

[00:01:49]Goes deep across the middle. There's another interception. This one to Brian Dawkins number 20 and the rookie safety looking for a convoy and he put a move on Metaf and is finally knocked down at the 47 yd line.

[00:02:03]>> Yeah. Now Eric Medaf knows what it's like to tackle Eric Medaf. I mean he really did put a move on Eric and Brian Dawkins is a guy that Ray Rhodess you know doesn't really go is not overwhelmed by players a lot.

[00:02:17]doesn't necessarily go overboard when he's describing players, but he really likes this Brian Dawkins.

[00:02:23]>> They would go to Soldier Field to play the Bears. Blitz again.

[00:02:31]Harris and Dawkins are both there to break it up.

[00:02:35]>> Unfortunately, it's a headache. Carl Williams winds up in the middle of that sandwich.

[00:02:40]>> Play clock at eight.

[00:02:42]Warner dropped by Balden. That's just an easy pitching catch right there. But Brian Dawkins was closing in and Anquin Bolton and we talked about how tough he is, but we may have taken a peek at Brian Dawkins.

[00:02:56]>> All kinds of wild and wacky formations of course in the absence of Iran and Novaek AND GOING BEFORE WALKER AND IT'S BATTED AWAY BY DAWKINS AT THE VERY last second. He got a hand in there and just did flick it. Well, Ray Rose said Dawkins is a great cover safety. He has the potential to become a great cover safety.

[00:03:18]>> Second down and six. Jeff Hostedler's pass is intercepted. Let's see if he held on. Oh, he did. It's an interception by Dawkins. That's a great play by Dawkins. Third down and goal.

[00:03:31]KENZO UNDER PRESSURE. DROPS IT. LOOSE BALL AND HE RECOVERS AT THE 25. BRYANT DAWKINS SHUT THE GAP AND GOT to it. And the Patriots come up empty again inside the red zone.

[00:03:52]Ramsay just throws it up for Grant and Dawkins intercepts and it's a great play by Dawkins who gets his 25th career interception.

[00:04:07]Blitz. Paul Pepper lost the football.

[00:04:10]Able to get back on top of it, but the ball is all the way back outside the 30 and they are outside field goal range now. And Brian Dawkins comes on the blitz. They bring backer as well. That's four week and you just cannot pick that up. Dante Co Pepper never sees it.

[00:04:27]>> Johnson in the back field behind Damon Heworth. ON SECOND AND EIGHT PICKED OFF AND IT'S DAWKINS with daylight. There he goes. is Brian Dawkins touchdown. That was a great play by Brian Dawkins. Now, there's I guess another way to take care of not pressing and that's put somebody in that alley.

[00:04:46]Dawkins knows, hey, if we're not going to press, then he's going to throw that quick stuff and I'm going to sneak in there into that alley and steal one. And that's exactly what he did.

[00:04:55]>> Third down 15.

[00:05:00]Ball knocked OUT OF THE HANDS OF ROLESBURGGER. Looks like the EAGLES HAVE IT.

[00:05:07]AS BRIAN Dawkins who knocked it out of Rothlessberger's hands.

[00:05:12]Philadelphia football and it's Dawkins with the recovery.

[00:05:17]>> Brian Dawkins who was hurt during the preeason had an ankle injury. He had a neck injury last year. You were talking earlier about everyone was saying, "Well, what about Dawkins?"

[00:05:29]>> Coming on a blitz and the ball is knocked out. Tvaris Jackson able to get back on top of it. Brian Dawkins coming on a blitz. Got his hand in there and knocked it out of the right hand of Tvaris Jackson. A loss of 12 on the play and it's fourth down. It's amazing how many times we see this from Brian Dawkins when he comes in on the blitz. I mean, he really is trying to go for the arm with the ball and he has a chance to knock it out.

[00:06:02]just heaves it. Only Eagles are there and it's picked off by Dawkins into Green Bay territory and beyond.

[00:06:12]Still going inside the 45. Brian Dawkins. What an outstanding game he's had. Eight tackles today. Of course, the interception right there. And now they have an opportunity to show that. And three of those guys are on that offensive line. Second and 11. Look out.

[00:06:27]Aen gets sacked. AND IT'S RED HALL WHO PICKS UP THE BALL AFTER BRIAN DAWKINS CREATES the play. And the Eagles get right back in the game.

[00:06:38]No flags that time. Emma Thomas comes on a blitz from the outside with his rookie Dawkins and gets the big play. Down by 10. The Eagles have gambled defensively and boy has it paid off.

[00:06:57]Play clock is down to two now. One.

[00:07:01]They just got it away on third. DOWN AND IT PICKED OFF. Dawkins to the sideline. Canel can't get to him.

[00:07:10]Dawkins touchdown.

[00:07:13]He's sitting there and he's worried about that clock. Remember you counted the clock down, Joe. And that's what they're trying to do. They're trying to kill the clock. They take it down to the last second. Then he's forced to make a play and he doesn't see Dawkins right there. Hasselbeck from the shotgun.

[00:07:29]OH, ALMOST PICKED off as that pass was intended for Daryl Jackson who took a big hit from Brian Dawkins.

[00:07:38]Take a look. Take a listen.

[00:07:44]Starting from their own 14.

[00:07:47]Open with a throw AND A PASS PICKED OFF BY DAWKINS. Brian Dawkins with the interception.

[00:07:54]Another blitz from the Eagles and knocked out of the hand by Dawkins. Fumble by Romo down the field.

[00:08:06]Clemens a stiff arm and a touchdown.

[00:08:14]>> Cody Romo got him up there in no huddle.

[00:08:16]>> Yep. And going deep.

[00:08:21]Dawkins's fourth interception of the season.

[00:08:27]>> And Jackson ends up on his back. Clemens was in his face. They get better fast when they're playing all the time. Here's Carr. He's got a problem. And then he with his legs gets it, loses the ball. Eagles have it.

[00:08:41]It's picked up by Brian Dawkins, the allro safety.

[00:08:47]It is good for a gain of eight yds. Now Carr takes a look, throws downfield, intercepted. Ryan Dawkins, the greatest free safety in the game, takes it down the sideline. You know, he's a guy that the last guy you think of would be a professional athlete when you see here's a fake, Don.

[00:09:04]>> Look at this. The Eagles on the run. One man to beat. The block is there and Dawkins flying into the end zone. And so Andy Reed, a master at trick plays, they'll snap it to Brian Mitchell. He's going to run it, but it's a shovel pass.

[00:09:18]And you see there almost goes down.

[00:09:22]Dawkins almost can't keep his feet enough to catch the ball, but he guess has the speed to get to the end zone.

[00:09:27]It's a foot race and they caught the Texans totally unaware.

[00:09:30]>> It's just the quarter pole of the season. Quarter of the way there. Now a hard sack as David Carr looks downfield and Dawkins, they send the free safety.

[00:09:40]And there's no better free safety anywhere than this guy.

[00:09:44]>> Second down and 10. And the handoff is to Peterson.

[00:09:48]Peterson fights his way to the 49 of Philadelphia. Picks up five. Aake Jordan and Brian Dawkins in on the stop. 900 of those yards.

[00:10:00]Play action. And then it is intercepted at the 18 yd line by Brian Dawkins.

[00:10:06]Dawkins knowing Vic is going to look for Crumpler a lot was able to read it just perfectly.

[00:10:13]Play action to Sanders. Batch under pressure. Goes down. Brian Dawkins with the sack from the 45.

[00:10:28]Favre. Argan out looking for SCHERER AND IT'S PICKED OFF BY BRIAN DAWKINS.

[00:10:34]They've got to get it down to the six for another first. Plumber feeling the heat. Brought down for the set. loses the football but regains it. Brian Dawkins, his first sack of the season.

[00:10:46]>> Brian Dawkins is probably the quickest defensive back the Eagles have. Not the fastest, but his first step is great quickness. And then he has a whole lot of want to second and 15.

[00:10:57]Plumber under pressure has been around and brought down for the sack. Brian Dawkins. Dawkins second sack of the day.

[00:11:04]>> You know, it's through the backside of Jake Plumber, which is a smart move because Jake can't see it coming. So he has to run seven yards before he gets to the line of scrimmage. Cunningham baked and rolled and it's picked up in the end zone by Brian Dawkins.

[00:11:18]Cunningham tried to throw that away and he didn't get it out of the back line.

[00:11:22]Didn't throw it far enough in that Giants game.

[00:11:30]And more pressure on Bledo. The ball IS UP FOR GRABS AND DAWKINS COMES ACROSS intercepts it. Now Darren Howard again beats his man is and is the one responsible for hanging it up and then Brian Dawkins coming back and making a play. 318 remaining and here is play action pressure on Banks. Throws it and it's intercepted.

[00:11:54]>> Boy, what Brian Dawkins with his second of the game.

[00:11:58]>> What a crutch for this offense to be able to lean on when you have a defense that will make plays like this.

[00:12:07]Thomasson hit in the back fields the ball and this is Brian Dawkins chased by Thomas and Dawkins has a touchdown.

[00:12:19]Brian Dawkins a pro bowler a year ago as Tomlinson and this has been the Achilles of the Chargers all season. Third and one can't make the first down. They wind up fumbling it and the Eagles get a touchdown. Just one hopped right up to Brian Dawkins.

[00:12:38]>> Learning how to take hits in the mouth.

[00:12:39]Automatic first down after the penalty.

[00:12:43]>> Johnson flushed again.

[00:12:46]>> And intercepted by Dawkins.

[00:12:52]Brian Dawkins at the sideline and they will not be able to challenge that if it's ruled he was pushed out of bounds.

[00:12:59]And Dawkins has every right to celebrate.

[00:13:06]Second down and 10 and Vic all of a sudden turns it on to the tang to the five and a flag is down and Vic getting in for the touchdown. But there's a penalty marker down and Vic shaken up. As we said, the only game he missed this year was against the Giants and he was crushed as he crossed the goal line.

[00:13:30]We've got a Philadelphia Eagle down also inside the five >> and holding called against the Falcons and Dan Reeves is going wild now. That will nullify the score.

[00:13:42]>> Offense number 71, 10 yd still.

[00:13:47]>> Holding penalty against Travis Clarage, the left guard, nullifying the touchdown.

[00:13:53]Travis Clarage, number 71, the left guard, working against Darwin Walker. He beats him quick. You can see he's got his arms wrapped all the way around him.

[00:14:01]A good call by the officials, but now Mike Vic has nothing but open real estate in front of him.

[00:14:06]>> Ryan Dawkins coming out of nowhere with the hit. Face mask penalty called against Hugh Douglas.

[00:14:14]And this pass is intercepted. What a fitting ending to this game. Brian Dawkins.

[00:14:20]Stewart out of the shotgun. The draw TO MENACE.

[00:14:24]OH, what a hit at the 45 yd line by Brian Dawkins.

[00:14:30]That is a real nice hit on the big man.

[00:14:33]Dawkins gives about 50 lbs to the bus.

[00:14:38]A blitz. Marian Barber loses the football.

[00:14:46]JOSEIO HANSEN on the return.

[00:14:49]Only Romo can get close to him. It's another defensive touchdown.

[00:14:57]Dawkins stripped another
