DeSean Jackson Rips McNabb on Radio Show
While driving across the city last night I was fortunate enough to catch the DeSean Jackson Radio show ‘LIVE from the Philadelphia airport’ for the first time ever. Interesting intro to say the least.
DeSean seemed to be in a decent mood after the Eagles sloppy and mind-boggling loss to the lowly Oakland Raiders Sunday evening. However he did have a few comments for his fellow teammates that I’m sure he hasn’t told them in person yet. When asked by Brian Seltzer about what happened at the end of the first half when Donovan used a timeout the Eagles didnt have, DeSean had this to say:
Donovan needs to be better aware of the clock in that situation and know where we stand as far as timeouts.
DeSean went on to explain that play call was for a wildcat formation and everyone was a little bit iffy as to who was supposed to be in and where. Michael Vick ended up going out in motion with DeSean in the slot and before McNabb knew it, the play clock was down to :01 and he just burned a timeout real fast out of pure instinct.
After explaining this play, Brian Seltzer poked a little bit deeper asking whats the deal with the wildcat and Michael Vick. Pointing out the fact that is doesnt seem to working and the wildcat has produced very few positive yardage plays so far this season. DeSean’s response:
Michael Vick needs to become more productive when he’s out there.
Now I understand the frustration from losing to the Oakland Raiders, but how does DeSean expect Vick to become productive if he can barely get into the game, coming in every 25 plays to act as a decoy once a drive and not see the field until the next quarter.
DeSean is definitely right when it comes to your veteran leader, and Pro Bowl Quarterback Donovan McNabb knowing where you are during the course of the game and how many timeouts his team has. However I disagree with DeSean’s points made about Michael Vick. I think the Birds need to get back to basics and utilize all their offensive weapons. Vick should definitely be seeing some more PT if the Eagles expect him to get acclimated back to the NFL and be a positive asset to this team moving forward.
