You're talking about a guy who just doesn't do it from week to week. He gets the job done every day of the week.

It's the same thing. - Brian Dawkins

You love to have that on your team. - Brian Dawkins

You have to have something a little wrong with you to play defense. You're going in there knowing you are going to have to hit somebody. So you do have to have the mind-set to want to do it. I think we have taken that mind-set to a different level. We understand exactly what Jim wants from us. I think we're trying to take this thing to another level. We are trying to be one of the best, if not the best, defense to play for this organization. - Brian Dawkins
