    I hope he gets this worked out in another town. I'm not sure how Shockey could be looked at as the type of player that would stay with 1 team his entire carreer. He's a "me first" guy.

      But before this season, him and Strahan were the FACE of the Giants, thats how...
  • ck0712 replied June 16, 2008

    wel then by all means gotta do what you gotta do. then kudo's to your team getting rid of him if he's such a distraction, i actually had no idea. i read alot about him and i've done alot of research for articles on ESPN, to me, the guys a hellofva baller, sorry he's such a distraction to your team, that sucks and i know all to well, how that rolls ;0 !! best of luck !!!!!!!!

  I agree ck I just cant seem to see him any where else. Like I dont have the problems with many players, its almost like imagining Dawk on another team, Im in NO WAY comparing anything about the 2, but its like my brain just wont accept it??!!

  I hope you can get the picture pretty soon. Its all about Shockey all the time. If he wasn't so all about himself and this is my team or the NY Giants need me, he would be a great player. But now its Eli's team and i bet you that Eli was the one to pull the trigger on this one. If you dont agree, think about it. If he is such a great asset to the Giants and Eli wanted this guy in the lineup, Shockey would be in red,white, and blue this year.but Nope Shockey ran his mouth in the huddle a lil to much last year, and rattled Eli more than the opposing team did.On another note i wish he could go to the saints because he stil is a good player and we need him more than ever.

    Completely agree with what you're saying. It's not great to say that the TE scares the crap out of the QB, but it's reality. If he does stay I hope people just ignore his antics. We've got good players that are worthy of being the face of the organization. I wouldn't mind not hearing about Shockey in the off season.
    
    Also, what's this about Boss putting on 20 lbs since the superbowl? DO WORK!
• jared360 said June 15, 2008

  I didnt see anyone say hes a "great asset" to the team. Obviously hes not, they won the Super Bowl basically without him. All I was personally saying was it will be hard to imagine him on another team, OR another team WANTING him for that matter. I personally always thought he was over-hyped. Im in NO WAY singing his praises..trust me

    Totally understand. For me he was one of the players that I can see in another uniform, though.
    
    It hurt me to see Charles Oakley playing somewhere other than NY. I think I was scarred and now I have a pesimistic view on players being able to stick with one team.
• jared360 said June 16, 2008

  Webkid, you think Boss has the ability to get it done in the long run? He looked great at times last year, but when looking at his numbers, he actually didnt get the ball all that much. I didnt get to see him play too much so I cant really make a fair assesment. I think if the Giants brass didnt think he could, they wouldnt be dangling him out there like that. Id be interested to hear what a Giants fan has to say about Boss...

    I think he does. Hopefully Boss will be inspiring cheesy headlines for years to come! "Cowboys learn who's the Boss!"
    
    Recieving: He's a big target and a very solid recieving TE. He didn't get the ball much because he was actually 3rd on the depth chart. The 2nd string TE got injured before Shockey and it takes some time to become a target. Boss stepped up and made huge plays in crunch time as a rookie and the team had confidence in him. As he adds experience I don't see why that would change. Also, with or without Shockey there won't be too much pressure on Boss. We have legit weapons in Plax, Toomer (he's not too old for this ish!), Steve Smith and the younger guys.
    
    Blocking: The concern is that Shockey is a better run blocker. Our ground game isn't big on the list of concerns, though. Also, Boss is getting praised by everyone in the organization for his hard work and improvement.

  And by Dangling "him" out there I meant Shockey, sorry that last comment wasnt worded right. I confused myself...

  the media in NY will not forget this, he needs a change of scenery, seems like this is beyond repair from this angle.
