How many times did Saint fans come in here telling us how Shockey was going to be anything other than the disappointment he has always been...

Jeremy Shockey, Saints -- New Orleans tried to pry Shockey loose from the Giants for six months before trading for him in July, and I'm guessing no one in the Saints organization can even remember why they worked so hard. New Orleans gave up second- and fifth-round picks in 2009 for a guy who was the poster child for low-impact acquisitions this season. The stats say he caught 50 passes for 483 yards in 12 games, but I honestly don't remember seeing any of them. Shockey was always hurt, he lost two fumbles, didn't score any touchdowns, and I didn't even think his new, shorter haircut was all that much.

-------------------

was surprised hackett wasn't up there honestly.

I agree. Amazes me he was inactive for so long as well.

DeAngelo Hall, Raiders/Redskins -- The mind boggles at the fact Oakland gave Atlanta second- and fifth-round picks for Hall last offseason, and then handed him a seven-year, $70 million contract that included $24.5 million of guarantees. He got torched so routinely this season that the Raiders released him after just eight games, for which he was paid $8 million. He then signed with the Redskins and resumed his underachieving ways.

The world finally saw the truth this year... Amazing it took this long.

And they include a lot of rookies in there. As good as they may do, I never really expected Glen Dorsey or Gholston to lead the league or even their team in any category.

Speaking of, what ever happened to that fella from USC? What team did he go to? Ced... Ellis? something?

I think his point, though, is that they were first round picks who did absolutely nothing, forget about leading their team in anything.

Mike Wahle, Seattle -- The Seahawks snapped Wahle up in free agency, hoping he could solve the problem they've had at left guard since Steve Hutchinson got away to Minnesota. But Wahle's mediocre play only contributed to Seattle's season-long offensive line issues, and he was placed on injured reserve with a shoulder injury after just 10 games.

he would be a dissapointment if we didn't have moose, since we don't have any ill effects from his abscense he's not a dissapointment

but i have a HUGE feeling we will be seeing alot of him on saturday

i agree, i've begun to have great respect for how fox game plans for the playoffs in the regular season. IMO this is to a large extent why it always appears as though we're playing down to the level of our competition.

that might be because when he is on the field he's productive.

13 receptions for 181 yards, 3 catches of 20+ yards, and 7 first downs.

his problem is staying healthy, not production.

everyone's production on that list sucks on the field, healthy or not.

dunno.... he's been active for 9 games. I think it's more attributable to Fox's scheming and Jake's blinders.

      Smitty on TMac

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
