73 – Shawn Andrews – G/T


The Eagles first round draft choice in 2004, Shawn Andrews
quickly earned a starting role after an eye-popping performance
during the preseason of his rookie campaign, and has since
earned two Pro Bowl nods in 2006 and 2007. Said Patriots head
coach Bill Belichick of Andrews: "He's the best guard we've
played against. You talk about go-to guys—Andrews is a go-to
guy. When you need yards, you run behind Andrews. You'll get
them." One of the NFL's most dominating and athletic offensive
linemen on the field, Andrews is also one of the most unique and
jovial personalities in the locker room and community. He inked
a seven-year contract extension in 2006 that will keep him in
Philadelphia through 2015.

28 – Correll Buckhalter –RB


An inspiring story, Correll Buckhalter returned to be a valuable
running back for the Eagles after knee injuries forced him to
miss three out of four seasons from 2002-2005. When healthy,
Buckhalter has been very productive, averaging 4.5 yards per
carry over his career, which ranks tied for 5th on the club's all-
time list with former great Wilbert Montgomery. The team's
fourth round draft choice in 2001, Buckhalter amassed a team
rookie-rushing record with 586 yards, and later posted a career-
high 9 TDs in 2003.

SEASON HIGHLIGHTS:
• Set career highs in receptions (26), yards (324) and
receiving touchdowns (2)
• Hauled in a 4-yd. TD from QB Donovan McNabb and
amassed 122 total yards from scrimmage on the day,
including a career-long 59-yard reception in a win vs. Dal.
(12/28)
• Rushed for a career-high 9.2 yards/carry, going 6-55
rushing in a win vs. Cle. (12/15)
• With 21 yds. vs. NYG (11/9), surpassed the 2,000-yd.
rushing plateau for his career, becoming the 18th player in
franchise history to do so

played in team history: “It means a whole lot, it really does. 34 Brian Dawkins (1996-pres.)
I made this statement to you guys, but to know that I played 34 Eric Allen (1988-94)
the most games for this organization since it’s been 34 Bill Bradley (1969-76)

Harold [Carmichael] who, like I said, is a guy that I respect Eagles all-time interception yardage:

46 – Jon Dorenbos – LS
After battling a tremendous amount of personal adversity early
in life, Jon Dorenbos has worked hard and stayed focused
enough to carve out a six-year career as a NFL long snapper.
Originally signed by Philadelphia in the latter half of the 2006
season, Dorenbos has played in every game for the Eagles since
then (including postseason) and inked a five-year contract
extension on 12/29/07, which will keep him in Philadelphia
through 2012. Dorenbos, who endured the murder of his mother
by his father at a young age, took up magic to help ease his
mind throughout the tough times. Dorenbos, in fact, has become
so good at his craft that he's been hired for shows in Hollywood
and Las Vegas.

“Omar’s been that way since he was a rookie. Omar has an
extreme amount of confidence and is able to project that to
that defense. I think they feed off of, not only his
knowledge, but also his confidence and that upbeat spirit
that he has…All the guys know that he’s sharp. He’s in tune
with things and they all have a lot of confidence in him. So,
when he speaks, people listen.”

getting to the football and he's such a great technician that
he gets away with being undersized."

to be a great pass rusher, you have to know how to work the
edges. He's a specialist at that."

2007, Kevin Kolb (pronounced COBB) spent his first two seasons
learning the offense behind veteran quarterbacks Donovan
McNabb and A.J. Feeley. A four-year starter at Houston, Kolb
turned in one of the finest seasons by a quarterback in school
history as a senior in 2006, connecting on 292 of 432 passes for
3,809 yds., 30 TDs and just 4 INTs, en route to being named
Conference USA offensive player of the year.

SEASON HIGHLIGHTS:
• Played the entire 2nd half at Bal. (11/23)
• In his first significant game action, completed 5 of 6 passes
for 53 yds. and a QB rating of 103.5 vs. StL (9/7)

plays. Then he jumps in on special teams and does that on
top of that.”
• FS Brian Dawkins comparing Mikell to himself: "Remember
when I told y'all that he was a mirror image of me, but you
wouldn't listen? I meant that in every way. All he needed
was his confidence to be where it is right now. The guy is
playing flat-out great ball and I see that continuing to
grow."
• CB Joselio Hanson on Mikell’s physical play: "He's really a
guy that has to be feared out there. We were watching film
of the [Carolina Panthers preseason] game and everybody
in the room was like, 'oooh, aaah,' play after play. Q is out
there just throwing his body around and hitting people, him
and Dawk. He goes out there and knocks heads around and
that's all you can ask from a strong safety."
