Fanlaws of Brian Dawkins return

Allowed

Wearing your old #20 Eagles jersey. It’s a fitting tribute to an Eagles great. In fact, I’d go so far as to say you should wear your green #20 if you’ve got one.

Of course that’s legal… no question. I have a Dawkins jersey that I wore for almost 10 years. It’s beat up, faded, a little ripped, and has seen its share of blackouts. I’m going to the game, although I haven’t decided yet whether I’m un-retiring my Dawkins jersey or going with my new Mikell jersey.

Giving him a big cheer when he’s introduced. Usually, we like to yell “sucks” after each opposing player’s name is announced. Not this time… The guy gave us 14 great years, he still loves us fans and we still love him. Let him know in the introductions.

Anyone that yells “sucks” should just be ejected. I expect the cheers to be loud and long.

Cheering his first tackle. I’m ok with fans giving the guy hand when he makes his first tackle. It’s a show of appreciation, but not so far as to be rooting for the other team.

If it’s a Dawkins tackle on a 14 yard gain by Jason Avant and a first down, I’ll be cheering. If he stones Leonard Weaver in the hole on 3rd and 1, I won’t be cheering.

Violations

Wearing a Broncos #20 jersey. Sorry, but only Broncos fans wear Broncos jerseys. It would be an embarrassment for an Eagles fan to wear another team’s colors. Plus, odds are you’ve got an Eagles Dawkins jersey. Wear that. If not, you probably better hope there’s no snow left over…

100% agreed.

Exceptions may be made for orange Clemson jerseys.

The key word being may be made. Chances are, if you own a Dawkins Clemson jersey, you also own a Dawkins Eagles jersey. So just wear the Eagles jersey for this one since Clemson and Denver share the same color. If Dawkins went to… say… North Carolina or something… fine. But just leave the orange jersey at home, OK? OK, good. On a side note here, if you own a Clemson Dawkins jersey, but not an Eagles Dawkins jersey, that right there might be a minor violation in itself.

Cheering a big play. Sorry, you’re an Eagles fan and this is a big game. If in fact Dawkins were to grab a pick or something, we don’t cheer that. We’re trying to win a division and get to a superbowl. Cheering any play that gets in the way of that is being a bad fan.

Agreed again. Dawk was (and is) my favorite player of all time, but this week he’s an enemy. Once the game begins, he’s trying to beat us and we’re trying to beat him.

Love him before and after the game. But during? Try to beat the crap out of him.

Dawkins puts a trademark hit on Desean Jackson which causes him to miss playing time – what will be the reaction during the game and then after the season has finished?

Cheer for him before and after the game.

During the game he’s the enemy. No cheering. Not even for his first tackle of the game. Cheering for the enemy is unacceptable.

…is fine by me. B-Dawk should still be an Eagle. Joe Banner is a goddamn moron.

we all know Dawk could wear himself out at times getting too hyped before a game. He admitted that he would have to calm himself down for big games as an Eagle or he’d tire himself out before the first snap.

… the more hyped we get him before the game, maybe the safer the Eagles will be on the field, lol

If Dawk was still in our huddle, he’s likely advise the fans to pull for OUR team. Brian Dawkins plays for the Broncos. The Broncos stand between us and the division, and possibly a #2 seed. Give him a cheer when his name is called, then go out and kick his ass. Brian Dawkins would not want it any other way.

If
1) he makes a pick at a key moment
or
2) the Eagles secondary makes an embarrassing mistake

Are you allowed to shout “We Want Dawk Back!”?

To quote Charlie Manuel, “He dont play here no more”.

I know what hes done and what hes meant, but he is also the same guy that upped and left. Dont be hostile towards him, but ONLY cheer when hes introduced, any cheering past that is overkill.

For allowed:

If you see any Eagles fan wearing a Broncos Dawkins jersey, you can slap them upside the head. :)

My #20 is in retirement untill he comes back to sign that one day contract before he calls it quits. I’ll give him a loud cheer during introductions after that all bets are off.

agree with you jb

What do the fanlaws say about wearing a purple #7 Cunningham jersey when the Vikings come here to get stomped out of the playoffs? Wouldn’t that kind of be sticking it in Bret Favre’s eye? okay, I know the answer.

How about if someone wears a Dawkins Broncos Jersey, but wears another Eagle related article of clothing, like a hat?

the eagles front office is so sared of this game let me explain why they called the NFL before the shcelued came out and ask the NFL not to put philly 1 home game against DEN

in fact, they’re perhaps the two most significant impetuses of our success this season. If we emerge from the Linc victorious, one or both of them will play major roles in our win. We need this win more than the Eagles do, so hopefully the team plays with significant urgency.
