I was thinking the same thing, I hope DeSean doesnt get jelous of Maclin having a big game. Desean was double covered a lot of the time, so you can’t really expect much but still… Seriously, extend that man. As well as Sheldon, Avant, Celek…

Take a deep breath. It was only one game. We’ll be fine.

will get his…he’s a good player. We have a lot of offensive firepower right now, and we’ll go with what’s working. I don’t think the coaches consider Weaver a better receiving option than DeSean, but he had a TD grab. We’re gonna move the ball around.

DeSean played a huge role in getting Maclin open by drawing the double team. In a team sport, DeSean did a great job, and he should be happy with that, rather than being jealous.

I think it makes the both of them better as well as everyone else.

You better do something when you get a touch…otherwise 5 will go elsewhere

but really, even before this game Andy didnt get the ball to him, Carolina he got the ball i think 4 times.

With McNabb for two games, DeSean has 2 catches for 3 yards. With Kolb for 2 games, 10 catches for 250 yards and 2 TDs.

Take it for what it’s worth.

He’s probably iching for the ball, but if he’s getting doubled all game that’s a sign of respect.

I have little doubt Andy will get “creative” (to the point of annoying us fans) to get Desean the ball in different ways. For this game we didn’t need to do much beyond the standard offense. So no need to give away any specific plays that gets him the ball.

he didnt have a long catch in carolina it was a punt return, I was at the game, he got a carry and two passes for minimal yards, I think its great we have the threat, I just don’t want an Anquan Boldin situation is all im saying.

A receiver isn’t going to be able to put up 100 yards every game. DeSean realizes that. Double coverage happens and there is nothing you can do but do your job and try to beat it. If it happens, the point is for the next guy to get open. Even Fitzgerald and Johnson have been shut down before. A great receiver doesn’t pout about it, they get out the next week and do their job. If Jackson gets mad that he can’t beat double coverage then that is a personal problem because we all knew it was coming. If anything he should be happier now because now it has been shown that Maclin can capitalize on single coverage meaning they might not be able to double Jackson since Maclin will make them pay on the other side and that makes it easy for Jackson.

But…. We need to prove we are more than a 1 trick pony. Once Maclin is considered an established threat, then defenses won’t know who to double cover at WR…not to mention our beast at TE….need I mention the backfield….let’s relax, cause soon enough, our opponents will need 15 guys on their side to cover ALL of our speedy weapons. Unfortunately, that leaves a couple of our guys with less that eye popping numbers/game. But hey, we need to take what is open. That should be a ton of chances for everyone, as long as, our weapons have a chance to prove that they a threat . What defense can cover DJax, Maclin, Westy, Celek, Shady, Weaver and #5, without leaving a mismatch somewhere?

I wonder if the Eagles are somewhat apprehensive in extending a young wide reciever after the bomb of a contract they gave Reggie Brown.

Also, this was one game we can’t get all worried about DeSeans feelings. They had a safety over top of him for pretty much the entire game. Now that teams can watch the tape and see they are going to get burnt if they do this he will get his turn.

Of course there were times he got open but McNabb could have already read past him or just missed it … this is possible.

hey, i love what the guy does for the team and he’s a hell of a player. but there’s no denying the ego there, and every great wideout has one (not calling him great yet). every wideout wants his touches, whether he’s covered or not. I know Desean was blanketed, but that’s not how a lot of recievers look at it. most good recievers believe they have enough room to make a play on EVERY down. good players want the ball and i don’t blame him.
oh and by the way it’s pretty much guaranteed he’s jealous of maclin which is understandable. although i’m sure he’s probably very happy with the win (i’m not doubting his quality as a teamate) he wants the ball more than maclin (who was a 1st rd pick and he wasn’t) and that’s completely natural. Am I worried that jackson is going to make a scene and go to the press? No. Is he jealous? yes. and as long as it doesn’t develop into resent, i like that.

I say let’s take it one season at a time before worrying about who’s feelings are hurt. Besides, as long as we keep winning on a somewhat regular basis, DeSean has no reason to get his panties in a bunch.

This is how our offense is going to look from now on, and he has to get used to it. Gone are the days where we pitch, hand-off, or pass the ball to Westbrook constantly hoping for a breakthrough. We now have such a wide variety of weapons that it will always be someone different carrying the torch each week. This week was Maclin’s week. I’m sure there are other weeks where DeSean will be the highlight player, and others where Celek will be, etc.

of a big workload…it’s WESTBROOK!!!!

The man has carried our offense single-handedly since 2005. If anyone ‘deserves’ touches, it’s him.

Let’s enjoy a season where we have more weapons than game balls to go around.
