By Merrill Reese: Sunday night should be really special as the Eagles retire Brian Dawkins number.

Nobody played the game with more passion that Dawk, and nobody was more exemplary off the field.  There was no macho facade in the way that he carried himself.  He was real, approachable, devoted to his family and involved in too many community functions to list.

No Eagle ever made a greater impact than Brian Dawkins.
