Wide Receivers:
DeSean Jackson - Let’s start with some good news. Jackson was a pleasant surprise since his day one arrival. The [...]

This is why Sheldon Brown is the starter and Lito Sheppard sits on the bench... see the video.
You know the story. The Eagles dominated the Rams for over 500 yards of offense and won 38-3. DeSean Jackson was incredible (107 receiving yards, 96 punt return yards). That could go down as one of the best rookie debut performances... ever. The highlight of the game for me (other...

9. The green jerseys might confuse Brett and make him think he still plays for the Packers.
8. His interceptions are much more graceful than A.J. Feely's.

Where you saddened by the Eagles 16-10 preseason lost? Don't be! That's what preseason is for, evaluation. I saw some good signs in that game. My boy DeSean Jackson showed me he might be the missing weapon Donovan McNabb has been looking for. Also Stew Bradley looked good at middle line backer for the first time.
