As training camp quickly approaches, the X-factor and secret weapon for this team is undoubtedly DeSean Jackson. In his years with Donovan, Desean had 62 and 63 receptions in 2008 and 2009 respectivly. Last year was his best as he caught 9 TD passes, but I think DeSean's best days as an Eagle are yet to come. DeSean is young and explosive he has lightning quick speed, and when he has the ball in the open field and after catches he is extremely dangerous. While Jackson had very good numbers during his time with Donovan, I don't feel that he ever truly reached his true potential. In other words, I think the Eagles and Donovan were using DeSean in all the wrong ways. This year is going to be different. This year the Eagles are going to start getting the ball to Jackson way more and letting him make plays. Desean is going to run a lot of quick slant routes and Kolb is going to feed the ball to him in a hurry. The most dangerous aspect of DeSean Jackson is his ability to make plays after he catches the football. He's got the speed, the moves, and the jukes to make guys miss in the open field. When you have someone as dangerous and as explosive as Jackson it opens up many things for the rest of the offense. Defenses will be forced to double cover DeSean and this opens up things for not only other wide recievers but also the run game. The run game is something the Eagles have to focus on in this upcoming season. DeSean does so much for this team, and he is an extremely exciting player to watch week after week. With the talent and natural raw ability that DeSean has, the sky is the limit not only for him but also for the Eagles.
