Are they asked to run the same routes?
Jmac and Desean have their pluses and minuses, but they are asked to do two different things for that Eagles offense so there is no realistic "choice" between the two

That's true. They play different roles for that Eagles offense, allowing both players to kind of feed off each other, but if you need a receiver you can rely on every Sunday, you have to go with Maclin. I like Desean and he's as dynamic as anybody in the league, but that's only when he's dialed in.

But he's usually dialed in, aside from when he's having contract issues

Desean drops too many passes for my tastes. Here's the league leaders in dropped passes over the last 3 years.
1. Roy Williams
2. James Jones
3. Mike Williams (Tampa Bay)
4. DeSean Jackson
5. Brandon Gibson
6. Terrell Owens
7. Donald Driver
8. Randy Moss
9. Dwayne Bowe
10. Brandon Marshall
Conversely, here are the most sure handed-
1. Earl Bennett
2. Larry Fitzgerald
3. Kevin Walter
4. Lance Moore
5. Malcom Floyd
7. Jabar Gaffney
8. Jason Avant
9. Austin Collie
10. Sidney Rice
Here's the source link if anyone cares to take a look. Pretty cool data.

I was watching the replay of the SF/Denver game last night and was kind of surprised to see the Broncos get burned by a basic slant/wheel route combo for that TD to Vernon. So simple to recognize, but Denver failed.

This clown James Jones would be a stud if he could hold onto the damn rock.Desean drops too many passes for my tastes. Here's the league leaders in dropped passes over the last 3 years.But he's usually dialed in, aside from when he's having contract issues
1. Roy Williams
2. James Jones
His Targets over that time span are probably the 3rd most at BEST on the team and hes still 2nd next to that bum Roy on the NFL drop list.
The worst part is he does it in big situations and/or when hes broken coverage and has a clear path to the paint.

Maclin has better hands, more consistent, and is not the headache that Desean can be at times. I don't have the stats in front of me, but I'd love to see who was targeted more on third downs. I'd be willing to bet it was Jeremy.
I like Desean, but he is limited, especially when he's just going through the motions.

Maclin might be more consistent and doesnt shy away from contact but that is about it. Go watch some of DJax as a rookie and at Cal he CAN play underneath the safety. He has the tools.
Djax only problem is he plays when he wants to play and how he wants to play.
With that said.....Maclin turned out better than I thought he would be. His ability was a little overrated playing with Missouri in that O. If DJax played in that offense :x:x:x IMO at least.

Tanard has always been nice DoubleJ. He just was out of it after the suspension. He is the best safety on the Skins barring injury or being a knucklehead.
