DeSean/Maclin tiff about who works harder
Jeff McLane, Inquirer Staff Writer
BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- It ends up being Jeremy Maclin and DeSean Jackson didn't have an argument Tuesday about who was the bigger star, as one reporter kiddingly asked Maclin.
It was about who was the harder worker, team sources said.
Maclin was asked Wednesday after practice if that was the impetus for the argument.
"It was nothing," he said. "It was nothing."
The day before, Maclin said it was just a "mix-up" that led to the spat that began at the end of practice and continued as they walked off the field together.
“It’s training camp," Maclin said Tuesday. "There’s no bad vibe between us two. We talked something out and that’s all it was. I don’t hate him, he doesn’t hate me. We’re still good. We’re still friends. There was a little mix-up and it’s all good now.”
Jackson hasn't spoken with reporters since the start of training camp.
The Eagles' starting wide receivers chatted with each other during breaks in Tuesday afternoon's special teams practice and again Wednesday.
One member of the Eagles' coaching staff said the dispute was a healthy one to have for two burgeoning players, and that it did not merit an intervention from coaches.
Both these players are stars and need to stop it. In my opinion, Jeremy Maclin and DeSean Jackson is the best duo in the NFL and they are already stars. I expect both of them to go over 1,000 yards this year and get alot of touchdown.— briandawkins20
"Tift"?— JLB- Jeff, is that a girly stain on your prom dress. What's your favorite flower? You're a silly gossip gettin' stirred up over nothing. Control yourself.— mccloudmj
briandawkins20 - in your opinion the Eagles will go 16-0 every year and win tem Lombardi trophies in a row. I like the optimism, but you are a tad to extreme....- i like it. nothing like arguing over who is working harder... best thing i've heard all week.— sasquatches
- Really enjoy the attitude of this camp. No divas like McNabb or TO around, no overrated BWestbrook or Lito Sheppard holding out for more money, etc..it's about who is working harder. Gotta love it.
- agreed briandawkins20 needs to lay off the koolaid just a tad and come back to reality
- Yea I havent seen all that much out of Maclin yet. The jury is still out on whether or not this guy is an elite talent. I've seen plenty out of Avant though. Maybe not a vertical threat but the man has got hands and is probably the most reliable receiver on the team.— mundiff
- I heard that they were arguing over who had more apps on their iPhone.— Joseph DeSantis
- Enough already with the non stories.— Eddieboy
- Loved that a McNabb jersey wearer got showed the door. Future regulation should be if wearing a McNabb jersey you MUST--MUST also being wearing a BOZO the CLOWN haloween mask.— jwatson
- Lets get the season started already. Enough!— 46 and 2
- Did we really need one more article about this?— PhillyFanSouth
- i am better at eating lunch than both of them. i would love the chance to prove it.— Lunchboy
- In my opinion, both these guys should have been inducted last weekend. Just let them fill in the zeros on their paychecks. Yeah baby, give me some more of that koolaid.— tommy_the_k
