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.

      Oh for those tired of the Mannings I have bad news, Peytons son Marshal already has college teams after him and he isn't even in HS until this fall...   I'd wager we have two Mannings in the NFL in 2030

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.
