Redskins coach calls out Desean Jackson’s blocking ability
Today the Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said on ESPN 980 that Jackson needs to be close to 100 percent if he’s going to play.
“He did a little bit today,” Gruden said. “I think he’s gonna be a game-day type deal. He wants to go really bad — obviously he’s going back to Philly. But if he’s not 100 percent — if he’s 60-70 percent — he’s really not that good to us.”
Brian Mitchell the former Redskin said that it is not that often a player is 100%.
“I know, but he’s already 160 pounds,” Gruden said. “He’s already a very terrible blocker. We’ll see. I think he wants to play. He’s a tough guy. He is allowed to wear shoulder pads, so he might be all right.”
