pak, without a running game (loss of Duece) there was little to worry about with the Saints running game, therefore, Bush out of the backfield is one the opposition could count on because he could NOT run between the tackles. The use of TE Miller, Johnson, and Campbell (when healthy) really did not matter as most of the early part of the season Brees was hurrying his throws due to lack of OL protection (i.e. Brown injury).

I agree Shockey is a good TE, but if the same situation occurs in 2008...I don't see the big change.

I say draft a TE through the draft. Enough of the walking wounded!!!! How many can the Saints afford (Vilma, Morgan, MM, Duece, Bush, Grant, Glenn, Meachem, etc.)?

Hey, we're bound to hit on one.

Imagine....

WR Coltson and Meachum....
TE Shockey
FL Bush
RB Mendenhall
QB Brees

We're set for years. I'm chomping at the bit too, Wilber.

Shockey gets a bad rep because he opens his yap, and he ain't got no yap filter.

Whoa now. Strahan is one of the best DE's to play the game. Shockey is just a good TE. In fact, I think that Strahan is still better at DE than Shockey is at TE right now.

I know what you're getting at but Strahan was never as obnoxious (emphasis on noxious) as Shockey is.

Shockey wants the ball. All the players do. But when he was not getting it he would sulk and yell. It maybe NY or it maybe him. That for the FO to figure out. If they make the move then the saints a scary. Well if he can avoid the injury bug.

Saint_LB · 04-10-2008, 07:31 AM

All I can say is be careful what you wish for? Brees may be able to get into his face...but he will have no way of retrieving the ball that he just let go towards the sideline as Shockey cuts toward the post.

I'm not sure where I saw this, so I could be wrong, but I believe that Shockey can count up to his wonderlic score without taking his shoes off.

Speaking of shoes...with a wonderlic score like his, he may be losing a lot of money on Bourbon St. until he catches on and says, "On my feet."

LOL that is so new Orleans. I use it all the time up here with the new englanders and get away with it. LOL

As for Shockey I think Sean is the guy to keep him in line. They have a history. I think he would thrive in our offense and be happy.
