Even more grist for the "keep him/ship him out" mill.

"Keep McNabb, Run The Ball More." -B. Dawkins
Excerpt:
I guess it is to be expected that Dawkins would give a vote of confidence to McNabb, as they have labored together for the best part of 11 years.

"Keep McNabb, Run The Ball More." -B. Dawkins
Excerpt:
"... They don't need my advice, but I would say run the ball," said former Eagles safety Brian Dawkins, who played in his eighth career Pro Bowl on Sunday, his first as a Denver Bronco. "Run the ball. With that passing attack, the way that thing is shaping up to be, go ahead and bring Donovan [McNabb] back to where he's supposed to be, and run that pill and let those weapons outside go to work."
Run the ball.
That's simple advice a lot of people with no NFL experience have been screaming at coach Andy Reid and the Eagles for years.
Rich Gannon, the former St. Joseph's Prep and University of Delaware quarterback who led the Oakland Raiders to the Super Bowl seven years ago, agrees with Dawkins.
"I think they have a tendency to get away from running the football a little bit," Gannon said. "Obviously, the injury to Brian Westbrook didn't help, but I think in order to be good in that division, you have to be able to run the football."
However, the Indianapolis Colts arrived here at Super Bowl XLIV with the NFL's worst rushing attack. Peyton Manning, perhaps the world's greatest quarterback, enabled them to overcome that flaw.
Like Dawkins, Gannon and Randy Cross, the former offensive lineman for the San Francisco 49ers and the owner of three Super Bowl rings, believe McNabb should remain.
Gannon, in town working for Sirius NFL Radio, believes McNabb remains a top-10 NFL quarterback, but also believes he needs to change his off-season approach...."
