Jackson Says There’s No Problem With McNabb

Jackson on the runThe Eagles players had better start talking to their teammates face to face before responding to reporters about reports and comments the reporters tell them have been made.

From my vantage point I’ve come to realize that reporters only care about getting a story, even if it is done deceptively and helps to create divisions on the team.

Nobody but Howard Eskin knows how much truth there was to his report about young Eagles players going to Kevin Kolb with their questions about their offense rather than Donovan McNabb.  

A report like that can be manufactured.  How many times did they go to Kolb?  Did they do it when McNabb was busy with talking to Marty Mornhinweg or Andy Reid?

I don’t know how true the story was but I know Eskin who was down on the Eagles sideline the entire season didn’t make the report until the season was over. 

He was down there for the entire season but never made a hint of a report about it, until the season ends.

This morning there’s an article in Philly.com about them asking wide receiver DeSean Jackson about the report.  He says there’s nothing to it.

“I don’t sense no problem,” he said. “People are going to have their own perception about what happens on the field. The biggest thing is . . . we’re teammates. It’s a tough situation. Donovan has been here a long time and Kolb is a part of the whole group also. There aren’t favorites. It’s not, ‘I like him better.’ We’re a team.”

I would encourage Jackson to stop commenting on reports which he knows nothing about.  He commented earlier in the year to a reporter talking about comments a reporter told that McNabb had made.

DeSean is going to realize that these reporters are not his friend.  Right now the target is McNabb but soon it will be him.

He had better learn to say I don’t have any coment about it until I talk to my teammates.
