at the Dallas Morning News, Pacman Jones was asked recently about facing the
Eagles passing attack on Monday night, and he responded with candor.
Respectfully, he said that the Eagles presented a "big challenge," but
in reference to the fact that three Eagles had over 100 yards in Week One, said
this:
"They played the Rams, dude."
Chuckle-worthy? Yes. Something worth pointing out? Yes. Bulletin-board material? I don't know.
I can't imagine that the Eagles would find it insulting. They know what kind of defense they faced on Sunday, they were there. If any of the 100-yard receivers, DeSean Jackson, Greg Lewis, or Hank Baskett, feel like they shredded one of the league's most formidable secondaries, I'd like to ask that they please stop hanging out with Ed Johnson.
The Rams, on the other hand, may very well find it insulting, but are they really in a position to say anything about it? Are they going to deny that they were pitiful against the Eagles?
And if they feel like the trio of DeSean Jackson, Greg Lewis, and Hank Baskett is some kind of unstoppable force, again, I'd ask that they stop eating Ed Johnson's brownies. The most spirited defense they could mount would be something like, "We had a bad week, we're young, and we're going to get better, okay? So leave us alone, jerk."
It's just a tiny little bit of spice to add to a promising Monday night game.
