Article about Shock's Concussion

Recommended Posts

As a Saints fan I can assure you Shock is a pure beast when 100% ....but over the past two seasons, he hasnt been 100% for the entire year. His play mimics his style. Hard nosed, reckless abandon to make that play. He doesnt shy from contact, and had no problem taking on DE and LB in blocking. Heck, he mentored our current TE Jimmy Graham and if you havent seen him, he is a carbon copy ( just younger and still more learning to do ) of J-Shock when talking about "on field persona" and abilities.

For that, his body has taken a beating over the years and is starting to catch up. This was the most "unfulfillng" part of his time here...he could have had a much bigger role in our offense which would have made us even deadlier, but it was just he couldnt stay 100% week in, week out.

I wish him the best and hope he doesnt stay in the game past his "shelf life". Too good of a person to sacrafice his older years.

    • this is true.  But NFL Ss and defenses are actively taking that away and playing to take them away vs most teams.  The problem thus far in BY's career......is they are cheating and not respecting the deep game which makes the smaller/mid range game harder to pull off.  and Dallas is an anomaly game.  using those random games as well, look at this......doesn't really change the discussion/issues in Carolina.  Bryce Young took the shots this week because they were not just NFL open but college open.    Wide open dudes downfield that really were coverage busts/issues. 
    • I will simply counter all that with: you should always strive, at every turn, to avoid indoctrinating young players into a culture of not playing to win the game.  Come man, that is an egghead academic approach that ignores the human element. it looks good on paper. Maybe.  In the voice of the great  Herm Edwards: Hello! You play to win the game.  I completely understand the need but that is not the way….
