Either Jay Gruden is the type of guy who is going to tell you what he really thinks regardless of how it looks or he just isn’t aware how his comments come across. Either way it makes his comments very interesting.
Here is what he had to say about DeSean Jackson.
“He’s a very good wide receiver but . . . the last couple weeks he’s been dealing with an injury and he hasn’t been quite the same,” Gruden said. “I’m a ‘what-have-you-done-for-me-lately’ kind of guy and lately we haven’t seen the DeSean we need to see.”
Now PFT points out that when asked about Jackson’s former teammate Jeremy Maclin he said something totally different.
“He’s a consistent pro, man,” Gruden said. “I love the way he plays, his approach to the football game. . . . He’s tough and it seems like whenever Philly needs a big play, third down and long or they’re trailing, Maclin seems to always show up.
“Type of guy you want. Accountable guys that when the game’s on the line they have no problem making the play, and Jeremy’s done that.”
WELP….
Maybe Gruden just listens to a lot of Janet Jackson.
