Eagles win over Redskins - What they're saying

Albert Haynesworth is sad.

Albert Haynesworth is sad.

The Redskins' $100 million man Albert Haynesworth sounded despondent

You can say but so much. You've got to actually want to.Once we get to that point where we want to do something, then we'll be something. If we keep going our separate ways, we just keep getting slaughtered like we have..

There's some more sad stuff from Haynesworth after the jump.

Redskins' CB DeAngelo Hall sounded critical of the teams' management.

"We're not built to come from behind," Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall admitted.

Desean Jackson talked about his huge performance.

"On the first one, on the first drive – it was really a blessing to be able to be put in certain positions to take advantage of the defense with my speed. I looked up the field and saw nothing but green grass. Jeremy [Maclin] did a great job 50 yards down the field blocking. I just did what I could to get to the end zone. On the second touchdown it was a third and long versus a pretty good corner in Carlos Rogers. It was a double-move and I went one step in on the in and he bit. I just went up the field and Donovan [McNabb] put it out there."

Newest Eagle Will Witherspoon talked about his pick 6 in the first quarter.

"It's a great feeling any time you get a chance to put your hands on the ball, especially if you get a chance to score.  For the first game, with a new team, for me it puts the stamp on it by saying, 'Hey, this is exactly what I want to bring to this team, and this is exactly who I want to be.'

Star-divide

Albert Haynesworth's words after the game were just sad to read. Not the most inspirational guy in the NFL...

"I mean, this is one of the most talented teams I've been on, and just not to get it done is ... I dunno, shocking. And whatever happened, you go out there and play hard and then nothing really happens, you don't get a spark. I mean, the fans are losing interest -- the more games we play, the fewer the fans come. It's just gettin' ... it's gettin' bad. This bye week [is] comin' at a good time right now. Maybe we can come back and come back as a new team."

"I'm feelin' lost, like I don't know which way to turn right now. Maybe this time off and go back to Tennnesee and hang out with my kids that I haven't seen for a while and ... just kinda figure out what we gotta do."

He is right though...

Andy Reid talked about the offensive line.

"I think it was good to get everybody back in there – to get Todd (Herremans) back in there and (Jason) Peters back in there. They made it through the game. That's a good thing. We won't get any worse. We will keep getting better as we go. Stacey (Andrews) had some good downs in there so I'm optimistic about that crew. It comes at a good time as we hit the NFC East here."

LeSean McCoy on his reaction to Brian Westbrook's injury

"It was scary. Any player who is down for that long, you are kind of worried. Especially, with the relationship I have with him. I was more worried about his condition and how he is feeling then getting out there and playing. Hopefully we get him back. He looked fine when he came back in here. We hope he is ready to roll."

Westbrook

He’s got a tough head on his shoulders.. but that was a brutal hit. All my good thoughts go out to him, bad ones to Gints.

Good point by DeSean on Maclin's blocking...

Great hustle… and he really was blocking 50 yards downfield. That play wouldn’t have gone the distance with Curtis out there.

Curtis is actually a pretty decent blocker …

I like that Jackson acknowledged Maclin … he didn’t have to.

thats a team player right there. And everyone wants to say he’s got an ego problem… I don’t see it.

did u see his espn special before the gm?

that dude is one cocky mofo… but i love him if it doesn’t hurt his play!

I think its for entertainment. At the end of the day, he is a good teammate, he appreciates other players and doesn’t mind sharing the limelight… that shows he is a good person regardless of what he wants the media to think.

the media twists everything … diva wideouts are where it’s at for them so they paint him that way. I’ve met DeSean I have talked to him and he is humble, does he think he is a great player … yes … is he … yes so in my mind he is justified.

He doesn’t go around bashing others and he appears to be more than happy to help his teammates. After Maclins holdout when he was finally able to practice DeSean would stay with him after practice and go over routes with him … that should tell you all you need to know about him.

+1

Jackson is a very good team player. I had my doubts about him after reading what the press said about him last year – about how he was a problem child in college – and he proved the press wrong.

This guy is not a problem child at all. He is just overflowing with enthusiasm – more than I can remember in any player. He coached rookie receivers this year – that was impressive. He knows he’s good and states it matter of factly, without ego, just explaining why things are working. I think he’s gonna be a great franchise player. (As long as he doesn’t accidentally kill himself during a post TD celebration.)

Talk about exhuberance: Did anyone notice that he leapt up to the stands after his touchdown – Right up to a bunch of Washington fans. It looked to me like a dad and his kid. After the dad gave DeSean a little shove, he held the sons arm down so he wouldn’t punch him!)

DeSean LOVES what he does. He absolutely loves the game. I think he’d play for free if he had to.

really

am i the only one here? c’mon, i’ve met cocky people my entire life. this is america, birthplace and land of the cocky mofo. as far as the espn bit, the media threw him a bone, and he fell for it. i stand by my case: cocky. Example: let’s say the 3 best WR are reggie wayne, larry fitzgerald, and andre johnson. do y’all see where i’m going with this?

I saw the bit on ESPN . . .

I think people who call him cocky or egotistical don’t know the difference between those things and simple confidence. I think Jackson has been a class act in Philly, and his teammates and coaches have said as much.
