DeSean Jackson: ‘No one can guard me’

“Just see him reading his progressions, watching his eye progression when I’m not in there sometimes, (he’s) just going from one progression to the next in receivers. You can get Darrelle Revis, Richard Sherman – whoever you want to get”. The elite deep threat was criticized earlier in the off season for skipping out on voluntary OTAs and taking time to film a BET reality television show.

Jackson also provided his own perspective on the talent of some of his teammates.

Jackson has recorded 412 receptions for 7,286 yards and 38 touchdowns in his seven years in the NFL.

Even before moving to the Redskins, he posted outstanding 2013 receiving stats of 82 catches for 1,332 yards with nine touchdowns with the Philadelphia Eagles. Also during this time, Jackson has 48 catches for 40 yards or more – 11 more than anyone else.

So it is no marvel Jackson feels assured. Jackson responded by stating “I’m here now, I’m ready to work and focus on the season”. “I think that’s something I’ve been able to really hone in on and lock in on as far as that, and then the fundamentals of the game – just trying to make sure you get better and better every single day”. End of the day, I play football at a high level so I don’t care too less anything about nothing.

The Redskins used Griffin, Kirk Cousins and Colt McCoy behind center last season, and Jackson says that can only be a positive. They were told to throw to him even if he was covered, knowing one of Jackson’s strengths was separating from defensive backs downfield. He led the league with 20.9 yards per catch despite the team’s inconsistent quarterback play. “Just see him reading his progressions, watching his eye progression when Im not in there sometimes, (hes) just going from one progression to the next in receivers. That’s what Jackson likes to hear.

“He’s a cover corner“, Jackson said of Culliver. Josh McCown and Johnny Manziel will get the bulk of the Browns’ reps for the starting job, while Thaddeus Lewis and Connor Shaw should split time late for the third string position. It’s just all about repetition now and gaining more knowledge of the system, anticipation and a feel for the throws and the protections and the run game…
