"Just as Seattle defended DeSean Jackson on Thursday night, limiting him to just four harmless catches, Andy Reid came to the defense of his wide receiver Friday.

The Eagles coach said he was "very disappointed" in the NFL Network for its portrayal and commentary of Jackson being disinterested on the field and disengaged on the sideline.

After the Eagles splattered to 4-8 with four games to play in Thursday night's 31-14 lethargic loss to Seattle, not only wouldn't Reid blame Jackson, but the coach stood up for him, saying he was "all in" for the game.

"I'm disappointed with the NFL Network, very disappointed in the way they portrayed that," Reid said during his day-after news conference. "I'm going to tell you now that DeSean was all-in in that game, and he had a great attitude during that game."

Reid, of course, suspended Jackson three weeks ago against Arizona for missing a team meeting and then benched him last week against New England in the fourth quarter after the receiver short-armed two passes and dropped another.

So, Reid believes Jackson's recent lapses were an easy story line for the NFL Network to follow and sensationalize against Seattle.

"You can take a camera and make some things look any way you want to make it look, but that kid was all-in (Thursday) night," Reid said. "I was proud of him for that.""
