Desean Jackson Wildcard Open Thread: Eagles at Cowboys

in Bears in the Pros

Desean Jackson had three opportunities to break for daylight against the Cowboys, one for a sure TD. McNabb missed him by miles all three times. Sheesh. Can't this guy get one accurate quarterback in his lifetime?
Yahoo Sports filled up with a nice story with Desean's dad.
Bill Jackson was so open, so over the top with whatever was on his mind that the most memorable stories about him are when he was caught without a response. Such as the time when Southern California coach Pete Carroll came to the Jackson home to recruit DeSean.
"My dad was completely behind DeSean going to Cal," said Byron Jackson, 41, one of DeSean’s four brothers. "But Coach Carroll was very convincing. When he left, we all looked at my dad, waiting to hear what he was going to say about how Cal was still the better place for DeSean. He sat there and said, ‘The man said what he had to say. I can’t argue with it.’ We all just burst out laughing. My dad with nothing say? That didn’t happen much."
Rematch with the Cowboys at Dallas tonight! Can Desean hit the R1 button? Discuss the game here.

Who would've thought out of all of USC's QB stable...
SANCHEZ would be the first one to win a playoff game.

He can only hit the broadside of a barn about 50% of the time, and while those 50% of passes are really pretty looking, he just doesn’t have the consistent accuracy to be an efficient quarterback. On top of that, he’s slow beyond the normal “non-mobile pocket passer” slowness, to the point where he enters JaMarcus “sacked before he even gets out of his drop” territory. He’ll improve incrementally and he’ll put up gaudy college stats, but he won’t actually be successful in the league.

I suspect the NFL is going to be a bit more cautious with Locker, whereas Mallet creates a very real risk of causing death among general managers through drooling-induced dehydration.

Tedford recruited the earthquake as a Noseguard. He’s a 6.5 star, the best recruit in Cal history

Not sure if we want an earthquake at Memorial, since his first sack will be the last thing most of us will ever see.

If you see Orlando Scandrick (#23 of Dallas) covering DJax, it’s a repeat of the 2004 CIF-SS Championship game… Jackson and Scandrick covered each other — neither did much in the passing game, but DJax intercepted two passes on defense.
Small world…5 years later, they’re at it again

I like that between this game and Jets/Bengals, there’s a precedent for the teams that won in week 17 to also win the rematches. (Go A-Rod!)

Home teams in the playoffs, since 1990, are 88-5 when they win the turnover margin.

I mean…turnovers are the ultimate equalizer in football these days. A turnover is pretty much a free 45 yards for the opposition.
