DeSean Jackson told the T.Ocho show that he was going to "set the bar high," with his next contract.

What do you get when you combine DeSean Jackson, Terrell Owens, Drew Rosenhaus and contract talks with the Eagles? We’re about to find out, as DeSean Jackson is appearing on the T.Ocho show tonight and discussed his contract situation with Owens and Chad Ochocinco during a pre-recorded interview this afternoon. Jackson acknowledged that the rule that limits his raise to 30 percent and the uncertainty surrounding the potential lockout have put a damper on getting a deal done so far, but spoke out about getting a large raise before next season.

“T.O., man, I’ma set the bar for you, man,” Jackson told Owens, who will be a free agent after this year. “I’ma try to get the most I can and I’ma set it high for you and I’ma set it high for everybody else, too, so it’s a good look, man.”

“You know I’m always in your corner and I wish you the best,” Owens responded.

“It is what is is though, but hey they gonna have to do something, man, because I’m out there, they way I’m putting it in, hey, something gotta happen baby,” Jackson said at the end of the preview, which can be seen below (after the jump).

Michael Vick gets the slight nod at quarterback over the 2004 version of Donovan McNabb, but can he keep up the hot pace? (Photo: Ryan Messick)

The Eagles 2010 offense is putting up some big numbers and drawing comparisons to the 2004 version that made it all the way to the Super Bowl before losing to the Patriots.  Here’s a position-by-position comparison between 2004 and 2010′s offenses. Take a look and place your own vote on the poll on the last page.

Quarterback

2004: Donovan McNabb – During the Super Bowl season, McNabb ahd one of his best years as an Eagle, racking up 3,875 yards while throwing 31 touchdowns and 8 interceptions. McNabb completed 64 percent of his passes for a 104.7 rating and ran for 220 yards and three touchdowns.  McNabb played 15 games, as the Birds didn’t have anything at stake in Week 17. Number five’s per game averages were: 20-31 for 258 yards, 2.06 touchdowns and .53 interceptions.

2010: Michael Vick – His projections are impressive, as Vick is on pace for 2,991 yards, 20 touchdowns and just 3 interceptions.  Vick is connecting on 64 percent of his passes and has a rating of 105.7.  He’s also on pace to run for 622 yards and 8 scores.  He’s on pace to start and finish just 11 games, making the per-game averages important in the comparison.  If you combine the season opener, in which Vick played the second half and the first Redskins game, in which he left during the first half with an injury, you get the following averages: 21-34 for 280 yards, 1.88 touchdowns and .25 interceptions.

Edge: The way Vick is playing, you have to give him the slight advantage.  His lack of interceptions has been one of the most impressive parts of his game, and he’s using his legs more effectively than McNabb did in 2004.  Vick also has guided the Eagles to a 42 percent conversion rate on third downs – 5 points better than the 37 percent Philadelphia converted in 2004.  The big question, though, is whether Vick can keep it up.  He’s taking a pounding and hasn’t played football day-in and day-out as a starter since 2006.
