This is the stance Shockey took and look at him.

lol. I'm not sure who's gonna do that either, but I still hope it happens. In the second half of that Chargers game we started to get a really good push up front. I'm counting on that to continue.

Lets hope his former teammates shut him up once and for all, he did a whole lotta whining and got an offer that was way more richer than he deserved, he was lazy a lot of the times.

Just another former Saint mouthing off. We have all seen this type of stuff over the years, not a big deal. He simply went to the highest bidder, good for him, end of story!

I think this just proves that it was the right decision to let him go. Im sure he was given a chance to be a leader, but the coaching staff didn't see it.

Im sure also that the Bucs linemen thinks he walks on water, poo's unicorns, and his leadership role was given to him instead of earned in NO.

How could anyone view him as a leader when he got demoted to second string for mouthing off at the coaches

Leaders don't do that

Grubbs is cheaper and hasn't arguably been any worse or better than Nicks was, so in my book Loomis and the F/O made the right decision.

Nicks had an attitude problem while playing with the Saints - don't know what he was like in Nebraska - and I'm pretty sure that will continue in Tampa if this interview is anything to go by.

I still hope him all the best, but he really needs to grow up and be a man.
