While Chip Kelly continues to receive praise for his innovative offense, his team is clearly missing one dynamic weapon on that side of the ball. A true deep threat, a home run hitter such as….former Philadelphia Eagle DeSean Jackson.

If you noticed that fact you are not the only one, New York Giants defensive back Prince Amukamara talked to nj.com about the departure of Jackson from Philadelphia this past off season, and what their offense misses with him being gone.

"“As a player, of course they miss him. You can’t coach speed and I don’t know if he’s replaceable. That’s tough. He’s such a great player and attracts a lot of attention on the field,” Amukamara said. “The only difference is [Foles] doesn’t have DeSean and Avant anymore and those guys were great, great key guys. I guess it’s just tough for those other guys to fill in their shoes.”"

Amukamara is absolutely right, and it isn’t an easy thing to try and fill the shoes of one of the best deep threat receivers in the league not to mention a fantastic punt returner as well.

While Jeremy Maclin has had a solid year and the Eagles are keeping Riley Cooper around we have yet to see any proof that they have anyone on the 53 man roster who can replace Jackson. Once they do however they could have one of the best and most versatile offenses in the NFL.
