[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 283310, member: 2232"] Well here we are, 2 weeks later, and DeSean Jackson's SPECIAL TEAMS electricity has saved the Eagles another football game, whereas once again our special teams helped us lose a game for the 4th time this season. Can you imagine if [B]our special teams would actually help [U]WIN[/U][/B]us some games every year, like a DeSean Jackson or Devin Hester Monday night? [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-NC2w0cFEs"]YouTube - Desean Jackson Punt Return TD for Eagles Win vs Giants 12/19/2010[/ame] In case some haven't noticed, special teams is 1 of the 3 phases of the game, and ours REGULARLY LOSES us yards/points/games and very very rarely, if ever, helps us GAIN points/wins. And it wasn't just Walter Cherpinsky that had DeSean Jackson rated ahead of Jordy Nelson! All the names you know from Kiper to McShay to Mayock also did and all the regular fans like us on footballsfuture and Scott Wright's Draft countdown. Now DeSean Jackson taking punts or kicks back for TD's, or scoring deep as a receiver... that's nothing new. He did it in college, at Cal, same school as Rodgers, Bishop, Marshawn Lynch, did it in. Jordy's decent. He had a bad drop on Sunday night, but the bottom line is -let's use the word aggregate- we all know [B]our SPECIAL teams HAS SUCKED for 6 years[/B] now under Theodore, and that despite 2 or 3 special teams coaches. And this is ONE OF MANY BAD MOVES in that department. He drafted Corey Rodgers in the 3rd round, but chose Jordy over Jackson, and it's proven to be one of numerous mistakes that have continued to hurt our special teams. If our special teams was at the B to A level, we would probably be 11-3 right now. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyOvCVAACjo"]YouTube - DeSean Jackson 2009-2010 Season Highlights[/ame] Perhaps TT has something, some criteria wrong when evaluating special teams ability. He took Corey Rodgers from TCU in 2006 in round 3. Only when he got to Green Bay, they found out he can't catch. Can you imagine if we won a few close games a year because of OUR big special teams plays? Instead of us losing a few games every year because of them? Hester, Cribbs, Percy Harvin, Bush, DJackson.... those guys have changed so many games. [/QUOTE]
