saints want shockey

WVSaint · 02-28-2008, 10:00 PM

I was thinking the same thing papz. the shockey deal was said to be "substantial" i dont know what that means, but i hope its not our first or 2nd.

we dont have any tradable players that can be called substantial, i certainly dont think shockey is first rounder material. maybe we swapped firsts with them? im not against the idea of bringing shockey in, i just dont wanna give up much needed draft picks. we cant get younger and more talented on D by trading all our picks.

I love the aggressiveness the Saints are showing this offseason. They are slowly but surely making a name for themselves on a National level as a top-tier NFL team.

good point, whether we agree or disagree with the moves the Saints are contemplating, they are doing what we all wanted them to do...which is make a concerted effort to improve this team.

DING DING DING!!!!

One heck of a statement Boba! This is all I have ever wanted from the Saints' FO. Give us the tools to win with.

I think Shockey, will be fine, would like to have him. Yes, I was not a fan of his attitude, but Pak, hit it on the head. The guy wants to win, and hates losing (maybe just a little more than others).

Very happy with the Saints FO!

I will definitely root for Shockey if he comes to New Orleans. On that note, I am not totally convinced he is an upgrade. Extremely talented yes. But over his career he has dropped way too many easy passes. I can see us all here after a game in which he drops an easy TD, $itching at the Saints front office for trading for this dude.

How many guys will we have coming off of serious injuries?

MeKenzie,Deuce,Vilma,Shockey

looks like EJ and Miller are gone and we'll have Shockey, Campbell and Ghent not a bad upgrade.

I want Miller back. Draft another. Skip the trade

Here's the thing with Shockey:

1.- He's a Hurricane, so out of college he had an attitude.
2.- He landed on the Giants, and got 2 years of Fassell, Collins, and Tiki; his 2nd year the Giants blew big desert wind, the coach got fired, etc
3.- then he gets Eli as his QB and Emperor Palpatine as HC, with Tiki still whining in the lockerroom... now Eli, SB ring and all, he is not the type QB that can lead guys like Shockey. Shockey has too strong a personality which probably intimidates Eli.
4.- You know that no matter what, not being able to play in that playoff run and SB is got to be tearing him up inside... listening to all those comments about how the team was better without him, and how Eli was able to lead the team because he wasn't in the huddle...

Enter the Saints:
1.- He's got something to prove.
2.- His QB would be Drew Brees. No intimidation there.
3.- He'd be in an offense where he will get the ball.
4.- His HC would be a young coach who like offense.

Yep, I wouldn't mind seeing Shockey in NO at all.
