Football was at its peak in the 2000’s. The athleticism was on par with today’s athletes, but the toughness from the previous generations was still there. Hitting was still allowed and it was an actually fun product to watch each week. And before all the people come flooding in about head injuries, mf’ers we/they signed up for this game! I’m a professional boxer. I know the risks of it. I WANTED to do it. These men WANTED to play this game and knew the risks. It’s why everyone can’t play football. It’s what made these men great. Because of the risk

Jim Johnson definitely was a great defensive coordinator throughout his time with the Philadelphia Eagles. But all in all great player and person in Brian Dawkins. One of my favorite Eagles!

But while at the same time after the early 2000s eagles teams, those early 2010s eagles teams were quite the eyes to keep on. Especially that 2010 Eagles team. Fun and explosive offense to watch by Vick, Jackson, and McCoy. Along with that 2013 eagles team with an explosive offense led by Vick, Jackson, McCoy and Nick Foles. As well as that good Eagles 2019 team with Carson Wentz, Nelson Agholor, Zach Ertz, Miles Sanders, Alshon Jeffrey, up to even playing with practice squad members with players like Greg Ward, Boston Scott, Josh Perkins and whatnot. To even that 2022 Eagles team as well with Jalen Hurts, AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, Miles Sanders and more. To finish this, some pretty great key role explosive players with the Eagles both offense and defense we’ve had throughout the 21st century and continuing leading up to today. Fly Eagles Fly!
