Shockey's camp comments on the U scandal

Recommended Posts

I was at training camp today and Shockey made an off-the-cuff remark to a fan wearing Miami Hurricanes gear. It went a little something like this.

"Hey there's a Miami guy. Don't listen what that media is saying." With Cam in the forefront of the crowd, "Hey they did that sh*t in Auburn too". Cam bows his head and shakes back and forth.

It's pretty much impossible to have a competitive, clean D1 program. Too many people involved - coaches, players, boosters, agents, tutors and on and on. You can't monitor everyone 24/7. However, Miami looks like SMU all over again. They didn't even try to hide it. When it runs that deep, you have to wonder how serious the NCAA truly is on compliance. Seems like it's hush hush until it blows up, then the NCAA is forced to act.

NCAA amateurism is a sham.

He could have said Ohio or USC, but why Auburn?

Purely directed at Cam.

Positioning was ... the crowd at the end zone, Cam and QB's working in the end zone and the rest of the team behind them working. Shockey was turned around facing Cam and the crowd. Cam was in the direct line of fire.

    • I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.  
    • Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.  
    • The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
