MustangSteve Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Make no bones about it: if DeSean Jackson had his way, then he’d be suiting up for Sunday’s game against his former team, the Philadelphia Eagles. But, for now, Jackson must test his injured left shoulder in practice over the next few days before really knowing if he’ll be good to go.

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Next few days? It's Friday. Isn't practice over for the week aside from a walk through? (Edit: Oh...the article is 2 days old). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustangSteve Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 I just hope he doesn't re-injure or make worse the injury now trying to force his way back to punish Philly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 So with that said...any reports from today's practice? All I saw about Thursday was that he did drills but not full practice and that they were going to test him more firmly today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zazzaro703 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 He will play, maybe not all the snaps of a regular uninjuried week, but he will he out there in some form or another. Even if he cant catch, you dont tell anyone that and have him stretch the field a few plays to open up the other WRs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskins3D Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I wanted him to go off in this, game but now im worried...hope he's thinking of his health an not an emotional decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zazzaro703 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I wanted him to go off in this, game but now im worried...hope he's thinking of his health an not an emotional decision. If its an emotional decision then i see why Kelly cut him. He should want to go off and prove to his former coach he made a mistake letting him go. If he is scared, nevermind the Redskins, he shouldnt be in the NFL. I seriously doubt its an emotional decision though and he will suit up to play. Its just keeping philly guessing if he will play and how effective he might be. I hope we come out running and then play pass bomb to him early first quarter.

Zazzaro703 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Your post confuses me lol... Sorry, i was replying to the poster that was speculating jackson not wanting to play might be an emotional decision. So i was trying to say if thats the case, jackson is soft if he is scared to go back to Philly. I doubt that has anything to do with him playing or not though.

Larry Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I would love to have a scary deep threat in the game.But I keep reading that the guy still hasn't practiced, yet, and I'm thinking that if he can't even give Kirk a few day's practice throwing to him, then I'm not at all sure how much of a threat he's going to be.It takes time to develop chemistry between a QB and WR. (Or, so people tell me.) And that means more than one short practice, Saturday, and then game ready on Sunday. This might be one of those cases where the Coach has to say "Sit down. You're not ready." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBellic Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Coach should shut him down if necessary. He shouldn't make the same mistake Shanahan made and allow a player to play because he says is okay when he clearly is not. Thank god we play the Eagles twice. Desean can get them next time.

So i was trying to say if thats the case, jackson is soft if he is scared to go back to Philly. I doubt that has anything to do with him playing or not though. He's confused because the poster you quoted was referring to Desean rushing back to play against his old team rather than resting his injury when he said an emotional decision. I don't see any reason why he would be afraid to play Philly or any specific team. They aren't exactly known for their defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we come out running and then play pass bomb to him early first quarter. I think Redskins3D meant he hopes desean is thinking about his health rather than making an emotional decision (wanting to go out and play to stick it to chip kelly and further hurting his injury) Basically rushing himself back on the field for Sundays game due to his emotions. Not about being scared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Trashman Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 If you had to pick a team and one of the positions was labeled "Dangerous offensive Weapon", who would you choose: a.. DeSean Jackson OR b.. Percy Harvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I think I'd go with Jackson, only because I think he is the more productive player game-to-game. If you are looking for a strike of lightning to hit every 4th game or so, then Harvin can provide that, but Jackson is the better WR by far and will likely influence the results of more games. As far as Jackson plays, as much as I would like him too, I am really not worried about the WR position if he doesn't play. In fact I don't think our offense period is what we have to worry about, it is whether or not our defense is legit or has had a huge benefit by playing a couple of awful offenses so far.

Bang Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I just hope he doesn't re-injure or make worse the injury now trying to force his way back to punish Philly. My thinking exactly. There's 13 more games I'd rather he be healthy for than just one. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stadium-Armory Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Hey, its just a sore shoulder. Take an ibuprofen and kick some ass! (says the guy sitting on the couch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rskin72 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 If nothing else, as another poster mentioned, he can serve as a distraction and occupy at least one if not two defenders by playing. Of course, I want him for the rest of the season vice just the Beagles game....so Gruden will certainly have to keep an eye on how DJ looks/plays with that sore shoulder and take action as warranted.

GreenMenace Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 When watching the game last week I honestly thought Djax saw RG3 out of game and faked it . You never know with him , he has already tanked one season while an Eagle to get a contract. I would hope he has learned his lesson and become a good little boy. Djax has been known to give up in games and have little effort . "example RG3 browns PS Game " when Robert took that pinball hit by 3 people MR Jaccpot stood and watched. As per comparison to Percy Look at Djax game records not season , he does tend to have no show games. He is a great player and gets respect from Defenses .

SkinsFTW Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 When watching the game last week I honestly thought Djax saw RG3 out of game and faked it . Yeah he faked it to save himself for the game coming up. That's what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
