Whats wrong with Desean Jackson

I know it's been a while since I've last posted but today I wanted to talk about one of my favorite players in the nfl right now, Desean Jackson and try to dissect what is bringing his game down this year. When you look at his stats he has over 500 yards receiving in 9 games but has only had 3 games where he has really been a factor. He also missed a team meeting on last week so he couldn't play in the game against Arizona. One reason that he might not be playing up to the standards that some people hold him to is because of his contract. He is way underpaid compared to many other receivers today and definitely deserves a better contract. However I think that he is asking for too much, especially when you consider that he has been almost non-existent in many games this season. He is unhappy with his contract and feels underappreciated so maybe this is why he isn't playing up to his potential. However this isn't the only reason that could explain why he is having a down year. Another reason is that he has become somewhat predicatable on offense and isn't getting open. He doesn't really run inside routes unless it's a deep post and his route running selection is limited. Teams now have a corner jam him at the line with safety help over the top and this has effectively stopped him from getting open. To perform better the Eagles need to find more ways to get him open and Desean Jackson needs to work on his route running and ability to lose defenders if he wants to have another Pro Bowl season. Whatever the reason for Desean Jackson's decline in production this year I hope that he can get back to being the great receiver that he can be.

Desean Jackson and Chris Johnson

Desean Jackson and Chris Johnson are the 2 most explosive players in the NFL right now and possibly a couple of the most explosive in NFL history. Desean Jackson has 8 receiving touchdowns and over 1,000 receiving yards on just 56 catches. This means that he averages 19.4 yards per catch. Jackson is also one of the best return men in the league which make him even more dangerous. Now onto Chris Johnson who is only 270 yards away from 2,000 rushing yards on the season and with 2 games left in the year I think he can definitely get it. Also he has over 2,000 yards of total offense. Chris Johnson is one of the top 1 or 2 running backs in the league and what sets him apart from other backs is that he is a dangerous receiver and one of the best receiving backs in the league. These 2 players both have at least 6 plays of over 50 yards which firmly establishes them as the 2 most explosive players in the league. SUBSCRIBE!!!!!!
