Some commentary on the rookie speedster: “One Eagle that I can’t wait to see more of tonight is DeSean Jackson.”  “He’s just a special player.”  “He does not play the game like a rookie.”

Those statements cannot be more true.  DeSean Jackson continues to impress.  He had 7 receptions for 71 yards last night and a nice punt return to boot, but it was then fumbled after a defender knocked it out from behind (the Eagles did recover though).  He is going to have a big year.  He was clearly McNabb’s go-to guy on 3rd down last night: he converted 2 first downs from McNabb when it was 3rd & 3 and 3rd & 5.

In fact, the whole 2008 draft class is going to have a big year.  I like what I see from Trevor Laws, Bryan Smith, Andy Studebaker, and Joe Mays.

Note: As Chad King points out in the comments section of the Eagles/Panthers review, the INT thrown by Kolb was not DeSean’s fault.  The ball was tipped.  I must have missed that.  Apologies to DeSean for placing the brunt of the blame on him.

If you missed my review of the game, here are my game notes.
