Giants' Prince Amukamara says Eagles miss DeSean Jackson

Despite boasting a 4-1 record, the Philadelphia Eagles have been anything but consistent so far this season. 

New York Giants cornerback Prince Amukamara was asked Wednesday whether the Eagles' offensive struggles have anything to do with the departure of wide receiver DeSean Jackson and said the team is worse off without him.

"As a player, of course they miss him. You can't coach speed and I don't know if he's replaceable. That's tough," Amukamara said, according to NJ.com. "He's such a great player and attracts a lot of attention on the field."

Jackson led the Eagles with 82 catches for 1,332 yards and nine touchdowns last season. Jeremy Maclin has taken over the No. 1 receiver role in Jackson's absence and while he has been productive through five games, he has made good on only 44 percent of his targets.

Nick Foles already has five interceptions this season after throwing two in 2013 and LeSean McCoy is averaging a career-low 2.9 yards per carry after leading the NFL in rushing last season.

The Eagles continue to find ways to win, though, which doesn't surprise Amukamara.

"I think the Eagles' formula to winning now is just different," he said. "Their defense and special teams need to step up ... Last year you knew what the offense was going to give you, but I think it's early in the season and I think they're going to get it going because they have a reputation for being an explosive offense."

Amukamara will get a first-hand look at the Eagles' new winning formula when the Giants travel to Lincoln Financial Field for a Sunday night matchup.
