Jeremy Shockey Back To The Giants? Forget That Idea

We are going to spend much of the New York Giants offseason we have now entered talking about tight ends. In fact, we have already started. Which tight ends might be of interest in the 2012 NFL Draft? Which free agent tight ends might be able to help the Giants overcome the injuries that will likely cost Jake Ballard and Travis Beckum at least part of the 2012 season?
Let's talk about one name right now and get it over with. Let's talk about former New York Giant tight end Jeremy Shockey.
In case you did not know, Shockey can be a free agent this offseason after spending 2011 with the Carolina Panthers. I have already read speculation from bloggers for both teams about a potential return to New York for Shockey.
Let's get this straight right now. From where I sit, I see a ZERO percent chance of that happening. There still might be fans who pine for the crazed, Pro Bowl caliber player of his younger years, but I can't see the organization going anywhere near him. Shockey burned that bridge -- no, he took a flamethrower to it -- all by himself. Seems to me the only person the Giants would like to deal with less is Tiki Barber. And we know the Giants treat the former running back like somewhat of a leper -- to be avoided no matter what.
Shockey is not the player he was when the Giants made him a first-round pick in 2002. He will be 32 next season, has been injured countless times and has slowed considerably. He can still be productive, however. In 2011 he caught 37 passes in 15 games for the Panthers, averaging 12.3 yards per catch and scoring four touchdowns.
When it comes to Shockey and the Giants, though, who cares? At least one former teammate said Shockey's constant histrionics and pestering of Eli Manning retarded the quarterback's development. Remember his criticisms of Tom Coughlin? His attitude when the Giants went on to win the Super Bowl in 2008 without him? His apparent shouting match with general manager Jerry Reese?
Shockey was always all about Shockey. He was never "all in" with anything the Giants did. He was only all-in with his hard-partying lifestyle and with putting up big pass-catching numbers. The Panthers seem to like the edge Shockey still plays with and would like to re-sign him.
Let them have him. Shockey closed the door on his Giants' career long ago. There is no need to re-open it now.
Bonus movie clip. Since I mentioned flamethrowers and all.

Giants will score 30 (correction 21 (damn FG's/failed 2 pt conversion)) or more points, NE 20 or less. Guess who wins? Take it to the bank!

Kind of a dumb statement
There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only BLUE WALLS.
The 2012 Mets: Fortune cookie says come back in 2015
Not so dumb
Brady has to save face for himself and the team. Vigorously.
Yes, Welk should have caught that one but he was more than instrumental in reaching SB. Brady made mistakes himself in the game. So did other players. This was just more visible.
I would first try to get her to retract her statement and apologize. Failing that (which I think it would), I would say “You may not like this but I’m going to have to do it. It is the right thing to do, it is for a great player who made a mistake and it is for my team.”
He may have to handle the war at home but that is part of life. And part of being a real leader. Make the hard choices. Do it.
All the Giants should play like Mark Bavaro.

Shockey did want to be on the Giants sidelines to support and cheer his teammates but JR said not. Maybe that made Shockey to miss the ring ceremony.
This is not the 2007 team.

Yeah...
Didn’t they decline to fly him out to SB42, and he bought his own ticket? And I thought he wasn’t invited to the parade.
Maybe I got my facts wrong. It still wouldn’t be a good idea to bring him back, though.

Yes he had to make his own flight arrangements. Am sure that they did provide him with the game tickets. Then he was not allowed to attend the parade. After that why should he stay.
JR let his ego get in the way becuase they are a shouting match. It should have forgotten at the Superbowl.
This is not the 2007 team.

Im sure there is a mutual unwillingness between both parties to revisit that relationship.
COBY FLEENER IN ROUND1…………………Thats the way to go.
If not im just fine with resigning Bear and going with some late round TE’s.

Fleener reminds me of Beckum. Won't mind him if we take him though.
He has to promise to get better at blocking though.
Allen is a better blocking Brandon Pettigrew. I’m in love with that dude’s skillset.

I think I am with you on this
Based off of YouTube alone… I would pick Allen over Fleener. Fleener looks like glorified seem runner. Everytime you see him catch, he almost always has a step on his defender. like defenses play zone against him.
With Allen, I see him making jump balls and coming down with it, I see him dominating space.
Of course the offenses being different and different QBs factor majorly into this, but just what I have seen, I have to go with Allen.
Regardless of what happens, No playoffs, playoffs, no superblow, superblow.... The 2011/2012 is one of my favorite Giants Teams of all time.
This. He has insane body control for a TE

Fleener has the hands of a Beckum and speed but he is a very good blocker.
And yes after some coaching he will be even better.

That's true, its a little unfair for me to say he is Beckum....I just hope that Gilbride doesn't give up on him
if we do draft him. I don’t think Beckum got his fair shot because of his lack of blocking ability.
Based on Allen’s tape, he has a better chance of impressing the coaches lol

Well Allen is a great blocker
and thats what a NYG TE has to do first and foremost but Fleener is no slouch, he is actually a very very good blocker but when you compare him to Allen he loses.
Still takes nothing away from Fleener who is a beast as well, either one is fine but i do think Allen has a slight edge as of right now like you said BBI

yes Shockey is getting old and slow too. We need younger faster guys who can block too.
This is not the 2007 team.

Tiki Barber
I’ll never get over how much Tiki (my favorite Giant of all time) ruined a fruitful relationship with the Giants organization. Shockey always rubbed me the wrong way, and I was not unhappy to see him go. Tiki, on the other hand, was a longtime favorite, as a Wahoo and as a Giants, and his travails post-retirement only bring me sadness.
I still respect Tiki
Even if he’s said or done a few bad things
My one and only fanshot
was making the case for Tiki to be a potential HoF running back. Too bad it was deleted when SBnation made their switch to the new layout. Surprisingly, the numbers were there to support the case, when put alongside Marshal Faulk and Eric Dickerson.
i think i rememebr seeing that post. Tiki should be considered for HOF
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
I still let my kid wear his Tiki jersey but...
… I took away his Shockey jersey when he left.

If you still have it ...
… you could just replace #80 Shockey’s name with Cruz, and you’d be all good.

Absolute shame.
Had that boy had his head on straight he could have had one hell of a career in New York. (not to mention a couple rings).
I really can’t think of a player, that disappointed me more. It’s bad enough when a much hyped draft pick, doesn’t pan out with NFL talent… but when they have it and throw it away because they just can’t grow up.
I was such a Shockey fan back in the early days but I would be appalled if the Giants even bothered to speak to him about a deal.

It really is who could forget the first preseason game
The guy caught the ball and just started wrecking guys in his path. I loved his intensity on a team back than that lacked it. I used laugh when he got mad on the field It was very fun to watch. But the injuries and the poor selfish attitude was his demise. But I still say if he doesnt get hurt in 07 and participates in the Super Bowl Run he is still a Giant.

Fleener is more like Beckum than Allen is.
You may not have focused on him because he was blocking. This past year he was used as part of the receiving corps and did a great job. The reason he’s so highly touted is the balance. Combine the blocking skills of a good blocking TE with the receiving skills of a Jermaine Gresham or Brandon Pettigrew.

I'd take him back
If he ate more than just a piece of humble pie (I’m talking about cutting out one piece and giving him the rest). There’s a good chance that he’s mellowed out, grown up a little bit. And there’s nobody in that huddle that he could disrespect.
If we could get him at a bargain, I don’t think he’d be a bad fit at all. Just sign him to a deal that suits the risk, so that you don’t have to think twice about cutting him if needed.
Not saying it because I think the playmaking Shockey of old would return, but because a solid veteran could really help at the TE position given the injuries. Might also help in the development of Ballard.
I agree
he cant say boo to Eli or any of the guys on Offense all recent Champs. The Vet leadership at TE could be an asset. Boss always said how he helped him alot.

That any human being can change. Again, only at the right price, which would be of huge benefit if Shockey turned into a team player, and minimal loss if the Giants had to cut him.

I would not want him on the team for free. He is terminally malignant with self centered thinking, irrationality and anger.

My favorites
Shockey has a large tattoo on his right biceps that incorporates American symbols such as the stars and stripes of the United States flag and a bald eagle.7 Describing the tattoo, Shockey stated “It speaks for itself. I’m proud to live in this country, to have the right to express anything you want…. I’m very American.” The tattoo took 21 hours over three days to complete.[
Jeremy Shockey had a reason for his obnoxious (un-penalized) taunting after his touchdown reception on Sunday. Apparently, the Carolina tight end thought the host Texans didn’t show proper respect toward America in the pregame festivities. Shockey told reporters that he was upset some of the Texans did not place their hands on their hearts during the National Anthem before the Panthers’ 28-13 victory at Reliant Stadium. Shockey scored on a 9-yard touchdown pass from Cam Newton in the second quarter. He broke tackles by DeMeco Ryans and Jason Allen to reach the end zone, then got in their faces and taunted them

I like the idea of going to FA for the TE position
Especially with this coaching staff… what is the likelyhood of a rookie coming out of the draft and doing anything next year? Thats not to say they shouldn’t draft a TE if a good one is around, but they have an immediate need at the position.
That said, this particular FA TE, I don’t think so. I know he had kind of a cult following because of his obvious raw talent, but to me he never really lived up to his hype. He was a good player for a few years, but never great, and there was so much dopeyness to go along with it. Plenty of dropped passes to go along with the constant threat of doing something good and then setting everybody back 15 yards by doing something stupid. IMO, no thanks.
I’d almost rather say that if they have to, get a pure blocking TE from somewhere and use Hynoski out of the backfield as the change-up receiving option.
Yes thats the other thing TC is reluctant to use rookies right away and even as starters
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
Fred Davis?
Anyone think they will take a look at Davis(from Washington) I know he had and or has some off-field issues but there is no question the guy has talent. And at 6’4’’ and nearly 260 he seems to move well….not quite sure of his blocking ability.
he's going to be franchise tagged by Washington.

Subject: Jeremy, you’re dead to me
I was a huge Jeremy Shockey fan. I was at the Hall Of Fame game, his first
as a pro. After he ran over a poor Texan defender, I called my lifelong
Giant fan father who was watching on TV and we both were drooling over the
guy.
When Jeremy got stupid penalties for excessive celebrations and
unsportsmanlike conduct, I wrote it off as his emotions that fired the team
up. When he eschewed the Giants in favor of Miami in the offseason, I wrote
it off as a guy who was just more comfortable with the rest of the Miami
players. When he dropped passes, I’d say ’you’ll make a circus catch to
make up for it when we really need it.’ When he got injured all the time, I
said it was because he was such a warrior.
But you know what? As much as he claimed to only want to win, what aside
from demanding the ball did he do to show this desire?
He was constantly showing up his quarterback. When told that blocking would
help the team win, he pouted and complained about not being used properly.
And when he was injured and his teammates went on the winning streak to end
all winning streaks, he pouted about it before finally deciding that he felt
too uncomfortable to even play for the team.
Fuck you, Jeremy Shockey. A ton of talent but no heart, not really. Being
selfish is not heart and that’s all you were, a selfish jerk who would
rather catch 100 passes on a .500 team than win a Super Bowl and catch half
that many.
You didn’t want to be a Giant anymore? Fine. Take your ass somewhere else.
They’ll find out about you soon enough.
I was extremely happy with the Super Bowl run we had last year. I am even
happier this second, though, because it is obvious to me Shockey did not
deserve to win that ring so he didn’t. The team did. The team remains, the
cancer is gone.
People compared Shockey to Mark Bavaro but Shockey wasn’t fit to carry
Bavaro’s jock. Bavaro was humble, valued being a complete tight end and not
just a glorified receiver, didn’t care about personal stats and gave his
heart and soul for the team. He made the Giants better in ways Shockey
would never even be able to comprehend, let alone achieve.
I was happy to see Jeremy Shockey in a Giants uniform. Now, I am even
happier to see that he is not.
I know it was you Jeremy. You broke my heart. You broke my heart…
Excellent post!!..I love it...
Shockey..I was never fond of him really..a real nutcase..and the game where he hit that kid in the face with a cup of ice, throwing it over his shoulder..that did it for me…I knew Eli would never be what he is today with that moron and his twin Tiki in the huddle..Losing those two self-centered selfish fools has netted two Super Bowl Championships…Enough said.
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Remember...
when Tiki was a fan favorite, all-around nice guy, and for a while, the only productive member of a series of middling Giants teams?
I still wear my Barber jersey for every game.

Forget that idea?
I can think of a different “F” word to use there instead of “Forget”.
So can I, but then I'd have to ban you.

sept 30, 2007
Was at the game where mcnabb was sacked 12 times, 6 by osi. That was also the day I lost all respect for shockey. Cameras never captured what a pain in the ass he was. Offense would huddle up & who was too cool to join the team, hanging out on the outskirts of the huddle, looking in the stands, sidelines, wherever. Yep, shockey. Who, during TV timeouts, would yet again not be with the team on the field, but with helmet off, yelling at the giants sidelines, prob at gilbride BC he wasn’t getting the ball. He only had 1 catch that day, and I believe 2 drops. It was all about him and u could tell his time in NY was all but over.

this is just the NFL Films
look back at the 2011 season, playoffs and super bowl. Like this one from 2007.
Hopefully they make a set like this with the full games.

Who will be the voice of the NFL Films movie
Can I pick Alyssa Milano or Ed Burns……. Ed would be cool …but a chick would be super hot.
Please add swimsuit action as an extra on the DVD… Thank you!

I love Alyssa Milano...

Ochocinco could have saved a ton of money if he didn't buy his team mates "Beats by Dre" because they all ended up getting "Beat by Giants"...FOR FREE!!
I love that set...
Strahan’s commentary is awesome. When they pick someone to narrate I would like them to take a serious look at Petrus.

They better
I already have the gifts planned for my two brothers and my father for Christmas for a set like 42.
You don't reward stupid
He could’ve stayed in NY and been a possible HoF TE and he decided to leave for …..I’m still not sure.
I saw him play in Carolina and he caught two passes by pushing down the defender….penalty each time.
He and Plaxico go down in the ‘stupidest players ever’ ….who leaves a Manning?
I’m with you Ed.
Please get Phil Simms in the Hall of Fame
technically, he was traded
and showed us up in 2008 with a big 0 TD season as a part of the most pass happy offense in the NFL

You down wit JPP?
I got 99 problems but a Vick ain't one!
He's been terrible 2 of the last 3 years and he's like 30
It’s time to move on
There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only BLUE WALLS.

Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows

It has to be the biggest flip-flop since SS12. You don’t bump chests and tell a coach to shut his fat mouth and then say you like him and you would like to play for him.

Maybe Jerruh will bring in Tiki,Moss, TO, and Shockey for a look see
since this is the Cowboys year. Bring in Peyton too, at least to back up Romo
Oh, I'd like that

As evidently the last Shockey supporter in NY
i’d like to say that Shockey may never be a Giant again, but for me he remains one of my favorite of all time. And the things that you want to chide him for now, are the same things we loved about him when he was here. his passion for the game, his willingness to get up in the opponents face, and tell them how he feels about them(like my current fav Big Boy). we loved it then, but we chastise him for doing it now(i applaud him for getting up in the faces of the Texans who he felt weren’t patriotic enough; he has strong convictions about that and is not afraid to let it be known)
it is sad that we chose to forget what he bought to the table as a Giant. Fighting for a first down after losing his helmet against the Eagles; his total domination of every “big name” safety in the NFC at the time(eyes looking at you b. dawk and roy will) that first preseason game where he took a pass about 60 yards and instead of crossing the goal line, sought out that last fool defender who decided to chase him for a tackle and instead got truck sticked. and we love to forget the 50+ catches and 600+ yards he provided us in 14 games, before breaking his leg giving his all in what turned out to be our first championship run of the new millennium. all of that is erased because of the way it ended, with him and management, which we may truly never actually know who was in the right and wrong on that one. but we’re Giant fans first, so we chose to believe that Giants management were right.
i’m not saying i agreed with everything he said or did. but we pick and chose our heroes here sometimes. Shockey’s a villian for speaking against the coaching staff, but Stray’s our hero, even tho he did the same. yet and still if it was Shockey healthy in that postseason run, catching that go route from Eli, all would be forgiven. trust me on that.
We as a fanbase should ask ourself a question: was he really that bad? he’s had his chances to kill us, to bash us on his way out. but he never did. he’s moved on. why haven’t we? it’s funny how out of the 3 teams he’s been with, we’re the only fanbase that doesn’t love him. makes ya think……
you still have one fan here Shock. and to you i say congrats on having two rings, and contributing to both – including your own Super Bowl winning catch.
Yes, I am a Giants fan. Now that we got that out of the way....
IMPEACH DOLAN!!!!

Could it be that he didn't want to be here?
His behavior after the Super Bowl caused many of us to rethink exactly who he was. He was a guy that played for team Shockey, who just happened to wear a Giants uniform.
Eli is our King!
yeah the divorce was ugly
and like most marriages, how it ends usually dulls the memory on how good it was when it was going good. and that’s why i get mad at fans – they forget some of the good times, and just focus on the end.
and was the end that bad? he helped put us in position to make a historical run. i’ll never be mad at him for that.
i never got that he was selfish. he was confident, cocky, but not selfish. he suffered when we didn’t win. he’s always done what it takes to make the team succeed over his individual successes – that’s why the N.O. and Carolina fanbases love the guy.

You are only as good as the last thing you did.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
I'm looking for a TE with the skill set of
Johnny Mitchell/Dave Brown. Dwayne Allen doesn’t fit the bill so forget him. I kid of course, I’d love D. Allen but it won’t happen. To hell with Shockey he isn’t worth a damn to even consider now.

I was just going to ask if anybody thought the Giants should bring him back.
And yes, he is a FA. His 5 year deal with Vikes just ended ( I believe). He wanted boat-loads of money a couple of years ago (from what I read), but with his decreased production of late, probably couldn’t get that kind of money anymore. I wonder if the Giants are interested in bringing him back.

Fleener and Tony G. who will come to us at a discount 'nuff said!
All the way to a Super Bowl victory like a knife through butter
JPP Is hands down the best DE in the NFL right now
Can't spell Elite without ELI
Jerry Reese for President 2012..let's make that happen!
