What a weak article, it is an insider article so here is the concluding paragraphs as to why they won't miss Jackson:

Bottom line:

The Eagles' brain trust is quite savvy. It would not have let the team's most prolific receiver go without having some sort of replacement plan in order, and in this case the Eagles have four elements in place to offset the loss.

Barring a string of injuries, this all but guarantees Philadelphia's offense will not miss DeSean Jackson in 2014.

They gave 4points:
1)Maclin.
2)heavier emphasis on run (even though they noted the eagles were already 4th in running plays)
3)Sproles- I wanted Sproles but the have McCoy Sproles keeps the defenders IN the box Jackson forced them out.
4) incorporating their tight ends. again that's the short game.

My bottomline is that without Jackson defenses will play to keep everything upfront and not really fear the deep threat and this isn't the same braintrust that worked with Andy Reid.

I will admit it if the season turns out differently but I expect Philly's offense to take a sharp decline.
