Success

The Philadelphia Eagles are getting the acclaim that was missing during most of the season...so I find it interesting that rookie wide receiver DeSean Jackson is on the cover of Sports Illustrated...however I'd rather see the Birds get national recognition, better late than never.
Growing Pains
Pop quiz...who was the 49th pick of the 2008 NFL Draft...if you said DeSean Jackson, then you are not only correct...you are more than likely an Eagles fan. Born December 1, 1986, and standing at a mere 5'10"...the speedy wide out has made a name for himself this season. As a top selection in the draft, the eyes were on him, especially in Philadelphia, and playing within the Andy Reid west coast offense along with Brian Westbrook, and Donovan McNabb, he has had more than his fair share of opportunities to contribute to the team.
He is most known for his superb play against the rival Dallas Cowboys early in the season, in which he purposely dropped a touchdown pass in error, celebrating prematurely. It's a long season, and Jackson has not only matured, he has grown as an athlete, as he and his teammates will travel north on I-95 this weekend, to square off against the New York Football Giants.
Is this cover a sign of good things to come for DeSean Jackson and company...only time will tell.

Uh Oh...SI has done it again..Getting on the cover is almost as bad as the Madden cover curse, but I think he is going to be the X-factor in the game. The Eagles have a good chance of winning this game
Man...I thought about that SI jinx, but hey like Herman Edwards would say...that's why they play the game. I really feel they can win on Sunday.
I told everyone of my football buds that Desean Jackson was going to rock in the NFL.. All disagreed with me citing lack of height and size as the common denominator. I'm happy to see him succeed and wish the Eagles good luck moving forward.
