saints want shockey

jergensl · 02-28-2008, 07:05 PM

i just heard chris mortensen on espn radio say that the saints are talking to the giants in an effort to trade for shockey.

if he can stay healthy, big if, this could be a nice move for the saints

Uhhhh. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I certainly hope not. Shockey is an attitude problem, waiting to happen. I like his spirit, but he is a MAJOR distraction. Great player when healthy, but I don't know about this one.

We have no one left but Mark Campbell. If the $$$ is right, I say pull the trigger and keep off incentive laden contracts.

What happened to Billy Miller?

I have no doubts about his ability, its just his attitude and the attention that he thinks he deserves. Its funny how Eli Manning grew up all of a sudden when Shockey went down with the injury...all that being said, i would probably still take him.

SaintPauly · 02-28-2008, 07:42 PM

What about Crumpler? Is he still available?

I think we have the people in the right places to keep problems players bring, to a minimum...I agree if the money is right sign him

i would take him for 2 reasons..

1. he just wants to win..the guy is passionate about winning, you have to give him that.. he calls out everyone b/c he wants to win and everyone blasts him for it..

2. he is better then any TE we have had in forever.. immediate impact on the offensive side of the ball.. huge target over the middle and it will open holes up for colston on the outside and running the slants that he does so well

I'd take him for a third, or a 2nd in '09, when most likely that won't be a top 50 pick.

I would actually prefer Crumpler right now. He can go 2-3 more years, would be cheaper, and would be a positive force on the sideline and locker room.

Anybody remember the camera shot of Shockey in the Super Bowl? He wasn't even on the sidelines. Of course, he a jumbo beer in front of him, and they probably don't allow drinking on the field.
