DeSean Jackson replies to Umenyiora

Serve, volley.
On Monday, as chronicled in Moving the Chains, the Giants' Osi Umenyiora was quoted in New York as saying that, yeah, yeah, the Eagles beat the Giants in the playoffs last year, but, "I wasn't playing and I saw the way it ended. It was a team we should have beat and it was a team that, if the opportunity arises again, we will beat."
On Tuesday, Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson replied.
"I had a chance to see him this off-season, hanging out with him a little bit," Jackson said. "He was, 'You know, I wasn't playing,' this and that. He's a very competitive guy. He's a great player. I don't take anything away from him. It's just unfortunate that he got hurt last year and wasn't able to play.
"But with him or without him, we are confident in ourselves. One player can't determine if they win or lose. As everybody knows, it's a team. You'll never know what would happen if he was there or if he wasn't there. All I know is that we got the victory and that's what I'm going to go off of. We've just got to get another two this year, or however many we play them...We went in their house and beat them twice. We understand what it takes."

Gaints are going down this year!— ChrisM- Would could've should've Umenyiora !!! Nice post ChrisM!— cote32
- Hey Osi - the Eagles didn't have their 2X Pro-Bowl G Shawn Andrews on the field. Maybe if they did, they would have laid down even more of a beating the Giants? Here's hoping that all of the Eagles get and stay healthy this year.— knighn
- If Osi was playing in that game, McNabb would have thrown it over his head to Westbrook to get burned....again....just like the first time. What a bunch of losers up there.— elektrika
Comment removed.- Desean is showing a lot of class and proving critics wrong. DJax could of talk about how weak the Giants are going to be with out Plax, how much of a girl Eli is, and how poor they will do this year. Don't worry Desean, I just said it for you!— jaydes
- between jacobs and osi it seems the giants cant help but run there mouths about us.if its so easy to beat us what are u waiting for giants.beat us.stop talking about u shoulda and do it.buncha bitter,sore loser,mouth runnin punks.— illeagle7700

- Number of Giants' Super Bowl victories 3 Number of Eagles' Super Bowl victories 0 Eli's a girl? By what measure? He kept his composure enough to help defeat a team that was 18-0. I love D-Mac and the Eagles and I will bleed Eagle Green until the day I die, but stop with the trash talking until we win something.— andrewfrombrooklyn

- Stop talking trash? Are you joking? The Giants started it (with that loud mouth talking total sh&t while standing on the sidelines) and we went in there twice in four weeks and buried them. Eli is absolutely NOTHING without a huge stand-out receiver. McNabb had ONE Pro Bowler (T.O. WITHOUT WES WELKER AND A SOLID O-LINE)and he went up against one of the best teams ever in New England in '04. F**k Eli Manning, Andrew. Let's see how those overrated d-bags do without their genius Defensive coordinator....oh, yeah....where did he learn his trade again????— elektrika
- andrewfrombrooklyn. - They always start the trash talking...— ChrisM
- d jack showed ussymorebologne that he is a pro and more mature. wait till jason peters or the andrews brothers pile drives him out of action.— maximus
- philthy pidgeons mother wears a mattress on her back— maximus
Typical angry post from little girl electrika. Do everyone a favor and get on some lexapro. You must think people give 2 sh*ts what you think...lol— wokmaster- I HATE THE GIANTS AS MUCH AS I HATE THE COWGIRLS— bow
- Wokmaster: are you even an Eagles fan? Dude, we may not agree on the McNabb issue but Jebus, come on!! So if you are antagonizing me on this issue, you are backing the Giants and Eli Manning - our most hated quarterback right now as Eagles fans. I'm not angry, it's just that I was born and raised a true Eagles fan which means I sit through everything that happens, winning or losing, and SUPPORT them...including a puking QB! Who also happened to turn this club around. So, on this issue, your stupid post is basically backing the Giants. You are a hell of an Eagles fan, holmes.— elektrika
- let them talk...jacobs and osi r still livin in the past...we beat them 2x's last year in their house so we know who the better team is....and that was b4 the moves we made— the tru 1
- Can't wait for the season to start...D.Jack sounds like a "TEAM PLAYER" are you reading this T.O? D.Jack will do the talking on the field, not like Osi...SUPERBOWL BABY...16-0...Im getting ready for the parade..(by the way Osi im the guy who talked trash to you on the Airport in O. County)— tonygreeneagle5
- I like the Eagles over the Giants this season. With the additions of Peters, Stacy Andrews (and a healthy Shawn), Weaver, McCoy and Maclin, the Eagles had a better offseason. Umenyiora coming back for the Giants is big, but the Giants failure to replace Burress is even bigger. I don't think Eli Manning has the talent to beat the Eagles without a top flight WR.— p-diddy

- I think Jacobs and Osi are GIANT Gay partners. I bet Jacobs loves when Osi tackles him or when Jacobs comes at him with his head down.— bryky
- Andrew. Stop with the logic. Your making too much sense— Captain
- Perfectly reasonable comment from Jackson.— digitaldan1
5 AND DIME....NICE....YEAH DESEAN WENT UP SOME MORE IN MY BOOK, THE KID IS DOING ALL THE RIGHT THINGS YOU WANT IN A PLAYER...GIANTS ARE GARBAGE....WHOSE GONNA CATCH SHELI MANNINGS PASS THIS YEAR WITH OUR SECONDARY...GOOD LUCK...GO BIRDS!!!— teenwolf- Giants all ways trash talking, Eagles leave it on the field !— nphillyguy
- Osi: "I wasn't playing and I saw the way it ended. It was a team we should have beat and it was a team that, if the opportunity arises again, we will beat." So how is that different that Jimmy Rollins saying "We are the team to beat" back in 2007 when the Mets won the division in 2006? Answer: it's not any different. In fact, given that the Giants actually won the Super Bowl just a year ago and had the conference's best record last year, it's got more basis than anything else.— johne118
- Sounds like the Giants are trying to convince themsleves that they can beat the Eagles. Losing to the Eagles have motivated them in the off season? Pretty lame that they didn't give 100% last offseason and needed to lose to the Eagles to pick it up. The Giants were incredibly lucky to win the Super Bowl. They will never win again with the current group of players.— MikeP
- The "gints" get to play our "Iggles" at least 2 times this season, let's see what happens on the field ;)— FireChief
