Jamal Jackson

Not to be over dramatic, but the Eagles season might hinge on his MRI tomorrow.

we are fine without him. i think cole might be a better center. just needs to snap the ball a little harder.

Agree that Cole is pretty good at C. He definitely gets more push than Jackson. Problem is RG with Cole at C. I almost wonder if we'd be better with McGlynn at C and Cole at RG instead of needing Max at RG.

Jackson is a very good C...read the article in the Inky from yesterday about how his teammates etc. feel about him

He gets overlooked alot, but has been instrumental in helping the young guys and manages the OL during games well...when he went out yesterday, it was pretty evident the OL took a step back

I don't think it's a downgrade at C with Cole there but the step down is with MJG at RG. I don't know that they'll put Stacy Andrews out there. McGlynn may get a shot now. Looks like Jackson may have a significant injury.

word is a torn miniscus and maybe a torn ACL

That is what I fear but if this is the case, I really have to question the training staff. Jackson was on the sidelines with a knee brace and tested out the knee on the sidelines and couldn't continue. I can't fathom if they had a question as to the integrity of the ACL that they would have come close to attempting this. Seems extremely out of character for them.

I agree, the problem is not Cole but having to play that turd MJG

I like Cole, I think he is a good young player. But as a former center myself, I know it's hard to just step into that role. It's more than just physical talent that is necessary. You have to know what everyone on the line is supposed to be doing. You set the protections. If the center is unable to communicate effectively, you get what you saw in the 2nd half yesterday.

Ummm, did you even watch the game yesterday? The whole offense fell apart.

Where are you hearing this? All I've heard is a minor knee sprain and that there has been no MRI as of yet.

[andrewaters]

Jackson went down in the 1Q I believe and we really moved the ball up until McNabb's INT in the early 3rd and then we went into the funk. the only issue i had with Cole is he snaps it too slowly.

Comcast sportsnet is reporting it's a torn ACL and he's done. Even more terrible with the timing is that I think this jeopardizes 2010 for Jamaal (see Stacy Andrews).

Jamaal Jackson out for season
Eagles center Jamaal Jackson is out for the season with a knee injury.
“Injuries - Jamaal Jackson has ACL tear and he’ll be out the remaining part of the season," Andy Reid said in his Monday news conference. "He had an MRI this morning."

Reid was asked how big of a loss not having Jackson will be: "He's a good football player. We're fortunate that we have Nick [Cole] here who is a center. He's on the same page as Donovan [McNabb] with the snap counts and everything."
