As an Eagles fan, I'd put him right up there with your boy, Roy Williams.

I'm not too sure about Roy Williams. He does seem to get beat by receivers more often than he should. The two bombs to Santana Moss in the first Redskin-Cowboy game this year is a good example. He is a very active player and seems to have a nose for the ball though.

Now that the horse collar tackle is illegal, he does seem to be a little less sure of himself tackling another player.

I agree with you on Dawkins, he is a great player - one of those that won't make the HOF but is super solid for years and the heart of a team.

True enough, although I cut him some slack with that since he plays Strong Safety.  It's odd, if you just looked at their body types, you'd probably put Williams in centerfield and Taylor up at the line, but their talents are what they are.  Moss in a go route is tough for the under guy and Keith Davis on top isn't exactly what you want backing you up.

You're right about the horse collar.  He did yank an Eagle down this season (can't remember which, I kind of erased the whole season from memory) but he used the jersey collar rather than the pads so it was clean.
