Heres the Eagles DEPTH CHART WHY IS DESEAN JACKSON the number 1 or number 2 guy damn atleast the third guy..... Hopefully this is some kind of mistake where it doesnt matter and he'll get the starts no matter what because we need a playmaker like him on the field at all times

  • not only that, but chris clemons is a third stringer too. why did we go after him in the offseason if he's just going to ride the bench?

  • the whole d-line will be rotated during the game similar to what we did in 2006. JJ knows what hes doing!!
  • CAUSE THE FAT BASTARD DON'T TRUST ROOKIE RECIEVERS NO MATTER HOW GOOD THEY ARE!!! clemons was hurt all pre season and he was a situational pass rusher in oaktown!!! he'll be key when in the nickel when j.j. puts 4 de's on the d-line to rush qb's!!!!

  • All i can say to Andy Reid is "Unleash the Rookie!!!"
  • I KNOW RIGHT Y2!!! I'M ALL 4 IT LIKE MOST WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND IT'S KILLING ME!!!
  • i wouldn't look into it to much
  • the Eagles D uses a DE rotation so he'll get his snaps as will everyone else. as for Jackson the Eagles' O spreads the ball to everyone pretty evenly. so don't worry Jackson is going to start for Curtis next Sun.
  • i think jackson will start
  • i agree, since curtis is out he will get play time.
  • you all are wrong. They do taht out of respect for the veterans. there is a reason hank baskett played against the jets and desean jackson did not. It is because desean is going to start against the rams

  • eaglesman is pretty much they do have respect for the veterans. They dont play rookies too much, but this season that is going to change jackson is going to get lots of playing time
  • Because Jackson is a rookie. No matter where he is on the depth chart, they can start him if they want to.
  • kevin curtis is still in at number 1 spot...jackson is gonna replace him as the number 1 receiver
  • just an FYI to everyone Jackson has never even been on the depth chart as a wide receiver throughout preseason. And yet, he made 1 start and, being a starter, sat out the 4th game. Don't worry, #10 is a starting receiver on this team. Atleast until Curtis is back. However, it is more likely that when Curtis comes back, Reggie Brown will be benched or injured, thus giving way to D Jax to come in and be our #2 WR.
    E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!
  • At the risk of being hated by the cult of the eagles-maybe there was a reason that jackson dropped to round 2. perhaps he just isn't starter material. i tend to think he will be pretty good eventually but im not surprised at all
  • wwrooooooooooongggg he dropped to the 2nd round because ppl had questions about his size. he has proved however to be the best wr on our team and soon one of the best in the nfl
  • true dat action Jackson
  • Fraction Jackson, Action Jackson. all great nicknames
  • then why isnt he a starter if he is the best on the team? maybe you should recgnize that the coach probably knows more than we do about his game.

    While i think he will be a decent receiver at some point to say he will soon be one of the best in the NFL is laughable

  • 1st of all he is starting at the flanker position due to injuries. 2nd he will do great there abd will eventually start. there is no way they wold have him as the "official starter" when he is still learning the system but even when brown and curtis return he will be in 80% of the time just like in preseason and camp.
  • Who cares what the depth chart says... Andy sat him in the final preseason game and that means he's going to play a lot. So really who cares if the put baskett ahead of him on the depth chart.. He'll play a ton
  • wow. all this time i thought we were idiots cause we had fun on the site, when in fact , it was because we had opinions. gee, thanks for clearing that up.
  • and hanl baskett doesn't play for the eagles, he plays for a swiss team.. i think you mean Hank..Idiot.
  • who you responding to peagle about hanl baskett he played for team sweden not the swiss!!!
  • jackson10, the one justwannawinna aired out
  • [not displayed: comment from locked account]
  • well it's because they still put kevin curtis as the #1 reciever although he's injured... and hank baskett is going to take curtis' spot because they want jackson to be a slot reciever because he's small and it gives him a chance to get off the line easier... does that make anough sense to you?
  • enough*
  • As soon as Jackson proves himself in a regular season game he will get the #1 spot. Rookie or not.
  • peagle, these attempt at humar are just that.. attemps.. so shut up your not funny
    i agree with you jackson.. preach brotha
  • and your attempt at grammar is just that.. an attempt. come back when you learn to spell and type.
  • Thank you!!!!

  • who are you?
  • lol
  • LMAO
  • [not displayed: comment from locked account]
  • I DUNNO??? EITHER I'M NOT SEEING WWHO PEAGLE IS TALKING TO OR I'M TOO DRUNK???
  • i big play and he'll be starting
  • every single on of u are idiots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    position has NOTHING TO DO with the amount of time played!!!!!

    clemons will play a lot even though he is 3rd on the DC

    hank baskett is not ahead of desean jackson. kevin curtis is not considered the #1 wr. the position he plays is simply for bigger wr's. desean will play A LOT more than hanl baskett and lewis and avant

    y do u ppl post articles if u have no idea wat ur talking about. its always FAT ANDY REID IS RUINING THE TEAM. he is a good coach and knows waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy more about football and the eagles than u do
  • well us ppl post because we can if you had a problem you shouldnt have responded... damn we all know desean will get plenty of playing time its just the organzations stubborness to put Desean Jackson as the #1 guy going into Sunday... Andy knows football no doubt Hell Andy's my favorite coach of all-time but if you remember all our NFC Championship losses WE(AS IN THE WHOLE DAMN CITY, even MEDIA) begged for a WR each after year Andy told us we have was good enough until the NFC Championship game where we lost to Carolina...... That game forced Andy and mainly F.O to see the fans and the critics were right...... offseason comes round we trade for T.O after the debacle whether us or the ravens get em... He came by we went to a superbowl he leaves the next yr..... AFter that season Eagles fans again begged and begged please get us a WR we need a WR still nothing.(STALLWORTH 1 YR doesnt count)...... THIS YR CAME round so many rumors emerged and they just remained as rumors and nothing more..... we did draft the speedy plamaking WR FROM CAL who ive been big on since he came out of high school.... WE HAVE A LEGIT WR fans want to be shown they were right by saying this team needed a WR and if he can make an immiedate impact it can show that previous WR's we drafted couldnt get on the field not because it was too complicated but because the team decided not to play them and red shirt them like there in college again... AND JACKSON10 DONT EVER COME ON ANOTHA ONE OF MY POSTS AND CALL EAGLES FANS IDIOTS! WE DONT NEED BIRDS FANS HATING ON EACH OTHA YOU WANNA HATE ON SOMEONE THERES A TON OF COWBOYS FANS IN THE YARD GET AT THEM!
  • WHOA WINNA!!! i never seen you mad on here before bro??? i never thought i'd see that day on here!!! ^5 to you!!! thought you left that task to me???
  • scary ain't it?
  • i like andy reid fat jokes though!!!
  • yeah i dont usually loose my cool like that either on these posts but the guys a moron I hate it when angry lil fu(kz get on here just to trash fellow fans of being dumb we know sports and its lil immature fagz like him that destroy and undermine what are Philly fanz he said "every single on of u are idiots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" that quote isnt going to sit well with me
  • i never called birds fans idiots and everything u said was pointless. did i ever say andy reid was always right? no!! i am saying a small minority on this sight alone are idiots. those STILL posting about us getting boldin or signing rejects from other teams cuts like sippio or lellie. u guys simply dont understand they system. he isnt starting not because of stubborness but because he has played 3 career games. y would u start a guy like that. by the end of the season if he keeps this up mark my words, he WILL start. he currently is the starter with injuries and when curtis and brown return he will play 80% of the plays AT LEAST. so i will call ppl like u idiots until u do research and stop wasting room on the site w/ posts
