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.)?
