“He’s so fast, sometimes it just comes down to how far (Redskins quarterback) Kirk Cousins can throw it”.

“As a wide receiver, I’ve got to go run my route”. It could mean the difference between first or third by the end of the night. “Hopefully that assist will come around”, Jackson said. “My message and what I wanted to get across was more of the case for that, so I wasn’t anxious about that [fine]”. Jackson, of course, makes a living on those long passes. He’s going up against a pretty good pass-rusher who, when they are in nickel defense, will be on his side.
Unfortunately, he’s questionable with an ankle injury and was limited in Friday’s practice, but there’s a good chance you see him out there on Sunday, even if it’s in a somewhat limited role.
The station says Philly-style cheesesteak sandwiches are becoming popular in Fargo restaurants because of Wentz’s successful rookie season, as are replicas of his No. 11 Eagles jersey. “(McCoy) actually sent me a picture this morning, when he scored a touchdown (as an Eagle).
Regardless of how his contract would be structured, and you know with Howie Roseman back in charge of football operations there would be minimal guarantees, it would only be a matter of time before Jackson and his agent du jour start inquiring about an adjustment. The only question is whether Wentz will keep the ball or not, depending on how the edge of Washington’s defense responds to the potential inside handoff to the running back. If the Redskins want to win four games in a row, they need to make sure one of their wide receivers steps up against the Eagles’ weakest part of their defense, their cornerbacks. He knows he is still a threat in Washington’s offense, despite a season that, so far has seen him catch just 18 passes for 278 yards and one score in five games. While he played the entire game, symptoms weren’t evident until Tuesday, a delayed reaction that puts his status for Sunday in doubt. An 85-yard punt return touchdown last week against the Ravens earned him the title of NFC special teams player of the week.
This is hard not to buy given what I have written up top. This should be a really good game, so getting points with the home team sounds good to me.
Jackson remains Washington’s most risky playmaker, still capable of big plays – he has four plays of 30-plus yards this season. They streamed Wentz’s first preseason game in August and experienced one of their busiest nights.
“We’ve got all the confidence in the world in ‘Big V, ‘ ” Wentz told reporters.
“I’m still playing at a high level”, he said. “You want to kind of set the tone and tempo for how you’re going to treat these games”.
Crowder’s numbers have been similar to Garcon’s, but with tight end Jordan Reed unlikely to play this weekend, there are a number of catches up for grabs. They recorded a sack on 28.6 per cent of the blitzes.

“You got to live on, move on”, Jackson said. “It hasn’t really gone that way and it’s something we’ve got to figure out as a team, because we need to connect on the plays that we’re missing”.
