DeSean Jackson has yet to burn the Cowboys on the field.
But he has plenty to say off of it.
Philadelphia's Pro Bowl receiver tweeted after Sunday's loss that they would, "sting the Cowboys rear ends'' in the rematch. He then sent out a message on UStream claiming Mike Jenkins has never shut him down and added, "them boys are scared of me.''
Someone forwarded the UStream message to Jenkins.
"I'm about to release it to the dogs,'' Jenkins said. "I'm about to take it to the secondary and let them boys see.
"We'll deal with it on Saturday.''
When asked about his comments Wednesday, Jackson said, "it is what it is.'' When asked why the Cowboys are scared of him, he asked, "why do you say that?''
After Jackson was reminded that he was the one who said it, he paused for several seconds then answered.
"I'm a very competitive person,'' Jackson said. "Everyone I play against I feel that way.''
The Cowboys were more amused by the comments than upset. Jenkins and Jackson are friends and share the same agent.
"It's all good-natured,'' Jenkins said. "You have to make it fun. This is a long season and you have to make something entertaining out of it.
"We look at it as a challenge.''
