Shockey Being Shockey

Jeremy Shockey speaks on his situation. Most people probably thought he was going to be traded to the Saints on draft day for a number two and Roman Harper. I doubt Jerry Reese can get much more than that and he probably knows that leaving you to believe the front office thinks they are a better team with him, which they are. Kevin Boss had a nice playoffs but he cannot block at all. Shockey, even with the growing number of drops, is still a premier pass catching tight end. If there is a problem with him it is that the offense does not feature him like it used to. He rarely splits out and gone are the days of the Shockey fade. People say he has been passed by the likes of Jason Witten, Kellen Winslow, and LJ Smith, and maybe some of them have, but those receivers are being used in innovative ways and are rarely asked to block, two duties that Shockey is still asked to do.
