More on DeSean Jackson

With DeSean Jackson being labeled the "one that got away", there's been some interesting stories regarding his draft status. The one thing that caught my eye was this quote by Andy Reid that mentions Tedford:


"I had a chance to talk to his head coach (Jeff Tedford) and he was very up front with me on things that he did with DeSean," Reid said. "I have a lot of respect for him. He's a heck of a coach, coach Tedford. He just said there were a couple things he would do different. I took that into consideration ... and I didn't feel it was a problem.


I wonder what things Tedford would have done differently? It's clear he lost control of that team last year. Is he suggesting he was too loose with DeSean?

One final note on DeSean: During the intros for MNF when the players announce what college they attended, DeSean declared he was from Long Beach Poly. I have to admit, I was a bit annoyed. Where's the Cal pride? I kind of wonder if he has some resentment as a result of his final year at Cal...
