I agree, Shockey would be a great addition. I don't think we are going to get him though. I would be suprised if he isn't in a Giant uniform this season. Maybe we can trade our RT (Poopcomb msp?) and a 5th for him. That might make since. |

What's up with all the Mark Campbell hate? He was injured last year, is that why he's an "F" or why he's been dismissed in posts?
The Saints run game was doing poorly before Deuce's injury last year. The difference between the 2006 offense and the 2007 offense was that Campbell wasn't playing. He's no Shockey in terms of talent but I think that Campbell deserves a little credit.

he is not here and I am banking he does not get here this year. Let him drive himself out of NY on his own. Then pick him up. Ice is right he is not worth the price they were asking.

Re: Pat Kirwan believes that the..
i disagree...i think on a talent and consistancy standpoint he has been atop the NFL for the past few years and has been consistantly showing up on film and game highlights...theres a reason for that...he has the talent to step into the saints organization and become an immediate upgrade....an immediate favorite target...payton is a master of the short pass offense....the best target for that is a TE....thats why colston flourished here....he is huge....he is strong..and he can catch like the dickens...if he gets hit the ball isnt coming out...shockey has similar traits in that he can take a hit from a linebacker as he's going over the middle for his bajillionth catch of the season

Shockey and Johnson werent to many catches apart. Johnson was ranked 11th in receptions but if you look at yardage he is alot closer to Miller.
Shockey is ranked 7th in yardage and 8th in receptions. Johnson is 11th in receptions and 24th in yardage compared with Miller at 26th in yardage. Johnson caught 21 more passes and gained 50 more yards than Miller. Johnson plays a role in the passing game similiar to Bush, sit at the line of scrimage and be a dump-off for Brees. Not much of a downfield threat from Johnson, but he woulda been productive in the redzone had he caught a couple of those passes in the endzone. Not much of a difference Shockey had 619 yds with 10.9 avg. Johnson caught alot of balls 378 yds with a 7.9 avg. I guess the biggest difference is Shockey gets a 1st down and with Johnson we get to line up our powerback R Bush on 2nd and 2, 3rd and 2, punt. |

Re: Pat Kirwan believes that the..
Factors to consider in all this...
One, Shockey was most productive as a Rookie, when, yep, Sean Peyton was calling the plays... Two, Shockey will be out to prove he's a team player and that he can be a reason for a Super Bowl Championship... Three, Shockey did not attend ceremonies to receive the SuperBowl Champion Giants at the White House... Four, The Chad Johnson situation, despite how ridiculous Drew Rosenhaus' client has looked, has been a nightmare for the Bengals must give Giants Jerry Reese pause to deal with Rosenhaus' client on his team... Five, As good as Mark Campbell is (and make no mistake that the TE is the difference between a good and great running game) has missed significant playing time in his career... Six, if Reggie Bush is going to jump to the next level of a producer like Brian Westbrook, the TE is going to have to aid in spreading the field... Lastly, whether on or off the field, Saints Marketing knows this... Shockey draws a crowd. I submit the attention given to the Shockey threads in this forum as evidence... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

He does sell tickets and get the cameras turned thats for sure. Good point. Always nice to add national media draw to the team. Saints vs. Gaints NFC championship game? Shockey would be heck of a story line for them to run into the ground

Shockey has been nothing but a locker room cancer. They didn't need him to win the SB last year so why the hell do we need him to win one? He'll be more of a distraction. If the Giants want to move him so bad here is a 4th. You don't like it then cut him. So he doesn't show up to camp - again. He'll show up to play in games and then the Giants will be left with the fear of him walking into the dressing room. Have fun Giants. Now I am ok if he shows up for camp and doesn't bring the BS. But our team has shown there has to be consistancy and gel in order to win. Hince why we go on winning streaks and losing streaks. |
