What we saw yesterday was a bit more encouraging. He's been a solid red zone threat, but for the most part he's dissapeared in the first 2 games. Reggie Brown - I've been a bit dissapointed by Reggie so far this year. He continually put big shots on guys and generally just refused to allow anyone to pass by him. Dawkins especially imposed his will on the game, he was the guy who stripped Frank Gore at the goalline and caused the Patterson TD. They are now and have always been what the defense comes down to. However, somehow lost in that discussion was guys like Brian Dawkins and Jeremiah Trotter.

We all debated whether offseason free agent aquisitions like Darren Howard and Shawn Barber would help solve the ills of this defense from last year. Game Ball to Brian Dawkins - It's funny, all the talk before the season was about what kind of impact guys like Matt McCoy and Broderick Bunkley would have.
The bottom line is that good teams beat bad teams. The Birds had their way with the Niners and beat them with relative ease. We know that, but the Eagles handled them as a good team should. They came out like a team mad about what happened last week and looking to prove something. Luckily, the Eagles felt none of these effects. I didn't seem to have the same kind of excited anticipation that I usually do as gameday draws closer. I admitted before the game that I just didn't feel "up for this game.
The Eagles trounced the 49ers 38-24 in a game that was a big step in healing alot of the wounds from the Giants loss.
