Report - Saints losing faith in Shockey

PrintAccording to the Saint's insider at the NO Times Picayune, all is not well between the Shockman and his new team
As Drew Brees frantically and futilely tried to pass the Saints back into contention against the Falcons on Sunday, Jeremy Shockey, the club's high-profile offseason acquisition, found himself in a strange and decidedly low-profile place: on the sideline.
In the desperate fourth-quarter finish, Brees completed a remarkable 19 passes for 294 yards and two touchdowns.
None of them was to Shockey.
Since joining the Saint's Shockey's performance has been less than spectacular
Since returning from surgery to repair a sports hernia last month, Shockey has caught eight passes for 72 yards in three games. That includes a two-catch, 16-yard effort against the Falcons.
In six games, Shockey has caught 24 passes for a quiet 223 yards. He has yet to catch a touchdown pass.
The other difference
Facing third-and-10 from the Saints' 37-yard line and still within two touchdowns, Shockey failed to pick up a rushing Falcons defender, forcing Brees to unload a quick dump-off pass to him in the left flat to avoid a sack.
Not only did Shockey miss the block, he missed the ball, dropping it with a half-hearted effort that spurred Brees to sprint toward him and emotionally voice his frustration. The animated discussion continued on the Saints' sideline.
emphasis mine
but wow - A qb getting in shockey's face whodda thunk?

Doesn't look like
things are going well down there. I thought Shockey would be motivated to become an elite TE again after having his rep tarnished, but it appears he still doesn’t get it (i.e. it’s a team game Jeremy!). What a waste of talent.
I'm seriously beginning to think
that he’s mentally challenged

A second and a fifth
Thats awesome, I dont know why, but I thought it was a third….thats gonna be an awesome deal for the Giants, especially now that Boss is getting rolling, if he can improve his blocking, then the deal looks even better.
Okay, just so I understand it... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.
that pass by Brees was a low bad pass…screw Brees with his rant on the sideline..dudes a dick..have you seen his pre-game pep dance- weak. i’m tired of all these players and coaches calling out their boys on the field in front of the nation..f that. s
on another note- its all about over the top and short lived Singletary. i’m happy he f’d up the final 52 seconds monday night and manged to get off 2 plays from the 2.5 yard line and then said after the game he didn’t have it together at that time..Stephen Davis should have called him out on the sidelines, dropped his drawers and farted on his beedy eyed bald head.
even so
Shockey has to make more of an effort – AND – a large part of the reason the pass was bad was that Shockey missed the block
Thanks for the draft picks fools
Reese sure saw those guys coming. Those picks could potentially turn into 2 starters. Next year’s draft is going to be nice, even if the NYG win the SB. In Reese we trust.
