An Ode to the Best Eagles of 2008 (Dawkins, DeSean, Asante)

It is my pleasure to finally release a DeSean Jackson wallpaper that I created. After a legendary debut that will be remembered and appreciated by Eagles fans for years to come, it was about time to open a DeSean Jackson wallpaper section here on the site. Follow the link to the article to download the wallpaper.

Last week, I went to the Cal-UCLA game expecting the Bears to come into the Rose Bowl and walk out with a convincing victory. Before the game I had thought Cal was one of the best teams in the country, with DeSean Jackson, one of the best players in the country. I left the game convinced this season was the spawn of Satan. I also left the game appalled with UCLA fans. At halftime...

Jackson already turned heads in his first game as a pro. If you are a Philadelphia Eagles, Cal Bears, or DeSean Jackson fan, these questions should be pretty easy. How well can you do?

Some commentary on the rookie speedster: "One Eagle that I can't wait to see more of tonight is DeSean Jackson." "He's just a special player." "He does not play the game like a rookie." Those statements cannot be more true. DeSean Jackson continues to impress. He had 7 receptions for 71 yards last night. Here are his highlights from the game.

Took another stop on my tour with Novartis talking about hypertension and high blood pressure. After stops in Syracuse and Chicago, I found myself in Harrisburg, the capitol of Pennsylvania. After a few media hits it was on to the Capitol Building to meet with some politicians and their constituents. While there we barged into the Governor's office. Ed Rendell was gracious...

Now is the time to analyze the most scrutinized position on the Eagles. The wide receivers. Despite a quality addition to the corps, the “upgrade the receivers” chant can still be heard loud and clear. Wide Receivers: DeSean Jackson - Let’s start with some good news. Jackson was a pleasant surprise since his day one arrival. The [...]

Sean Jackson, one of these CFN bloggers, had a coherent (that was about it) write up on how the Big Ten can be better in 2008. Now, I won't get into the fact that he's just one of the many talking about the Big Ten as if it's the MAC or even the Big East circa 2004. Jackson just made some fundamental mistakes in his assessment of the conference going into 2008, mistakes...

Rich Eisen and Jamie Dukes provide a nice outlook for the 2008 season. They label DeSean Jackson has Devon Hester like...NICE!!!!! Wonder will the stupid cowboys finished?

While perusing YouTube as I sometimes do, I came across this little gem of a video. It's a little nerdy, yes, but it's a clip of the virtual DeSean Jackson going John Elway's Quarterback on a bunch of defenders in Madden 09. Check out more from Tony Arnoldine at http://tonyblogs.net

Anquan Boldin to be an Eagle? SI.com's Peter King believes that Anquan Boldin won't be a Cardinal next season and that the Giants and Eagles are possible trade partners with Arizona. The Eagles and Giants, two receiver-needy teams, are in position to deal for Anquan Boldin, who I continue to say will not be a Cardinal by July. Philly has 21, 28 and 53,...

With the start of training camp now only about a week away, what is the status of contract negotiations with DeSean Jackson and Trevor Laws? It has been difficult to find update on the negotiations, but have no fear Dave Spadaro is here with an update: Still no word on contract discussions between the Eagles and unsigned draft picks Trevor Laws and DeSean Jackson, but the team...

Watching the Dallas Cowboys beat the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football hurt me as a long-time Eagles fan. To keep from crying I’ll watch these videos of Philly wide receiver DeSean Jackson losing the ball before crossing the goal line. He’s been doing this for years. Here’s Jackson in a high school all-star game: That one’s [...]

A few weeks ago, I wrote an article about peaking into the Mock Drafts to see who the Eagles might consider taking in the 2008 NFL Draft. Well it seems that NFL Draft Countdown has gotten word of my prediction and now has the Eagles taking DeSean Jackson with the 17th pick instead of USC OT Sam Baker.

In one of the more interesting twists of our mock draft thus far, the Bucs get DeSean Jackson scooped out from under them by the Eagles. My good friend JScott at Buc 'Em would likely be unhappy about thi...

After sliding backwards out of the first round and then again moving back in the second, the Eagles finally selected two players in the second round with picks 47 and 49. The Eagles first drafted Trevor Laws, a DT from Notre Dame who figures be another player they can eventually slot into their defensive line rotation. Laws appeared to be a bit of a reach at this point in the draft...
