Jackson… “Shooting For the Top”
DeSean Jackson earned $385,000 this season and next season he is scheduled to make $470,000. In 2011, he will make $555,000. Now, he signed the contract and that is what he agreed too. However, I think that everyone agrees that his salary is a little less than what he deserves.
Let’s break down his stats:
While DeSean only had 62 receptions which was 38th in the league (including RB’s), his 62 receptions tallied up over 1,150 yards. He averaged over 18 yards a reception which is first among players with more than fifty receptions. The next player in average yards a reception is the Chargers Vincent Jackson who had 68 catches averaging 17 yards per grab. Jackson was 9th in the league totaling about 77 yards a game.

Eagles Preview: Week 10
I’ll start off by saying that I don’t see the Eagles’ losing two games in a row. We know that they’re an up and down team- showing up and dominating one week and rolling over to die the next- but it’s not like the Chargers are an elite team in this league and they don’t really worry me too much.
After a somewhat embarrassing loss on Sunday Night Football in front of over 21 million viewers, I think the Eagles’ have enough motivation to shut up their critics with a good game. The Chargers aren’t bad by any means but they don’t have the same weapons that the Cowboy’s did to shut down the players like DeSean Jackson.
The Chargers’ record looks good (5-3), but there are some holes in the team that the Eagles can exploit. They’re O-line has been bad at picking up the blitz all year and that’s something Philly loves to burn teams on. Also, they don’t seem to have the personnel needed to guard against the Eagles’ big playmakers like Jackson- look for a few big plays from him or Maclin.
