Notice the way the Eagles got Desean Jackson the ball?

How many times do we have to say it? Look at how many birds you kill with this one rock.

Get Smitty the ball. Make the D adjust. Take pressure off Jake. Take the corners and some LB's away from the middle to cheat. Opens up the running game.

Looks better on ESPN than 6yd out patterns when it's 3rd and 7.

When watching the game last night, I couldn't help but think of how much Jackson reminds me of Smitty when he was young. Like Smith, Jackson came into the league as an explosive returner who was also a threat to score at the receiver position. I don't know if Jackson has Smith's toughness and tenacity, but I think he's perhaps the player most like Smith when he came into the league.

The only way we know how to get Smith the ball is to throw him a screen... :nonod:

With 4 WRs on the roster and only one that is a playmaker, it's kinda hard to get him the ball...especially with bad QBs and a bad O-coordinator in this run first offense.

Desean Jackson looked 2x faster than smitty last night.

Guy can move.

I lot of jakes INT come from trying to get smith the ball..forcing it too him.We got too get someone on the other side.

Here lately, Jake's INT's have been intended for TE's, cept for the one smitty let go off his hand.

Smith is not as fast as he once was, after the leg injury he slowed down and over the last 2 years he's slowed down even more. He's still great, but some of these players may not really fit him anymore like they used too.

there was one throw to barnidge that ended up as a INT. the vast majority of INTs this year have been forced to smitty and moose, mainly smith.

the recipe that worked in the past doesn't work anymore.

feeding/forcing smith the ball isn't the answer anymore.

time to move on. it doesn't work.

Notice? Hell I had him starting this week in FF. w00t!!

[Khyber53]

I think we need Smitty to show us once again that he is a playmaker. He hasn't exactly been battling for the balls thrown to him. He roars and cheers after a 15-yarder like it was one his old-style patented 55 yarder touchdown with four guys draped over him in a hail of bullets.

Smitty is a superhero. But I believe its time for Clark Kent to find a phonebooth somewhere and take the danged glasses off.

teams can't focus on Jackson like they do Smith....unfair comparison. Eagles don't run sets w/ just Jackson and a bunch of TEs over and over. They have other threats and McNabb likes to use them all in the passing game.

they ran that long play for a TD pass a few plays prior....McNabb didn't even glance in Jackson's direction b/c of other recieving threats were on the field.

I was thinking the same thing.

both moose and him have hobbled off the field a couple times with ankle injuries..now they haven't kept them from playing but you never know it could be affected steve's top speed even if it isn't serious.

[ckad79]

Smitty has lost of step. That one pass he caught from Jake this Sunday, towards the end, would have been a touchdown - had the Steve of old had the ball with his great cut-away speed!!!

I don't understand this, wait til 2011 crap. haha Smith may not be around after this year.
