Dangerous Player: DeSean Jackson, Eagles WR - NFC East - ESPN
I believe that DeSean Jackson is the most dangerous player in the NFL right now. He's not the best receiver or the best punt returner -- but his ability to strike from anywhere on the field makes him one of the most potent weapons we've seen in years. Wide receivers such as the Cardinals' Larry Fitzgerald and the Texans' Andre Johnson are going to make a ton of plays, but Jackson's the type player who only needs a couple of touches to change the course of a game.
Dallas Cowboys Blog - Jenkins plans to be physical with Philly receivers - ESPN Dallas
Cornerback Mike Jenkins has a simple plan for dealing with the Philadelphia Eagles' explosive wide receivers corps. "Go out and hit them in the mouth," Jenkins said. "Just be physical and hopefully we can shut them down." Easy to say. Difficult to execute.
Game-breaker Jackson becomes draft home run for Eagles - NFL - CBSSports.com Football
I'll tell you what's a scary thing: That six other teams looking for wide receivers passed on Jackson in the 2008 draft. The Rams took the first wideout with Donnie Avery. Then Washington chose Devin Thomas. Green Bay followed with Jordy Nelson, Buffalo took James Hardy and Denver went for Eddie Royal. After Cincinnati took a flyer on Coastal Carolina's Jerome Simpson, the Eagles had Jackson all to themselves with the 49th pick.

"Help, help, got to get some help on him," coach Wade Phillips said. "They know that. We know what. You got a guy like that who makes a lot of big plays, you got to get some help, you’ve got to have somebody else looking for him, too, not just the corners. Because we’ve seen corners get beat."
Duel between Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles showcases differences in draft philosophies - ESPN Dallas
The Eagles have made a priority of returning Donovan McNabb to the Super Bowl, and it is evident in their recent draft philosophy. They acquired two young game-breaking receivers: DeSean Jackson with a second-round pick in 2008, and rookie Jeremy Maclin with a first-rounder this year. Jackson has six touchdowns this season, all covering more than 50 yards. The Cowboys will position veteran Terence Newman and first-year starter Mike Jenkins -- both first-round cornerbacks -- across from the Eagles receivers.

One of the post from CBS.com...
Maclin is D-Mac’s favorite target.
Desean is a great talent but is more of a “Diva” like TO was and that is why Donavan has targeted J. Maclin more since he came back from injury. Maclin is a good posession receiver with decent speed in his own right but not like Desean. Watch the two from this week on and you will see that at the end of the year Maclin will be the man!
This is why I stick to Bleeding Green Nation…
RIP Jim Johnson, best ever.

It wasn't a story.
It was a comment from some user on the CBS DeSean Jackson article.
RIP Jim Johnson, best ever.

In all fairness Maclin is a better possession receiver, and they are both superstars in the making does it really matter who catches a few more balls. I can see both with 80+ catches, 1,000+ yards, and 10+ td’s each in the future.

doesn't matter
As long as we win…
Although I get soooo much joy from watching Djack go to work.
I’m gitty over last week which displayed our offenses potential because we’re gonna have all those guys except for the weave (who we need to resign) for the minimum of 3 more years….ridiculousness.

Sure, Mike… Is this your idea of “hitting someone in the mouth?”

My Brother tried telling me that Jeremy Maclin was a bust I proceeded to laugh him off and ask him if he was serious unfortunately he was.
I chalk up the complete stupidity to bitterness, he is a Panthers fan and didn’t like the 38-10 beatdown we gave them and sure as heck didn’t like the ribbing I gave him after hahaha.
After that he tried telling me Shady sucks at that point I just gave up on the conversation.
Point being lots of fans will say ignorant and stupid things we can’t take them seriously !
Go Birds beat the Cowboys!!!!!!!!

I love the SB Nation analysis on Jackson
“Potential to be a #2 WR” hahahah… When will “expertss” realize you don thave to be 6’4’’ 250 with a 4.3 40 time to be considered a “#1”
FYI theres no such thin gas a #1 in an offensive playbook just an X Y and a Z
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!

I, for one, would like to give credit to Reid
for not just drafting Desean Jackson, but for turning him into Desean Jackson. Follow me here:
There’s no doubt that DJax is a once a decade type of talent. When I see him I’m reminded of Andre (“Bad Moon”) Rison. The problem isn’t that no one could see his talent, but that other coaches didn’t know how best to put that talent into best effect.
Consider if he had been drafted by Washington. He’d have suffered through that OC mess, and probably would never have been the recepient of the long passes in open space in which he thrives. Instead, they would be trying to pound his square peg into a round hole, having him run slants, outs, and generally trying to catch the ball in traffic.
Reid saw not just what DeSean was, but what he could be given the opportunity. And he not only drafted him, but tailored the offense to emphasize his strengths and obscure his weaknesses.
Why, it’s almost as if Reid has a history of such brilliant moves.

Awesome analysis
