Jeremy Shockey ruffling feathers

Carolina tight end Jeremy Shockey had a reason for his rather obnoxious (yet un-penalized) taunt after his touchdown reception on Sunday at Reliant Stadium.

He made the Texans pay for disrespecting America. Or so he says.

“Personally, myself, I was really upset they weren’t showing respect to America during the national anthem,” Shockey told the media. “There were about 10 players who didn’t put their arms across their chest. A couple of guys saw that. This is America.

“They should at least give respect to America,” he continued. “I haven’t seen it anywhere else in the NFL, but I don’t know how you forget to do something like that.”

Shockey told reporters he confronted the Texans about it, telling them, “You gotta respect America, man.”

Shockey scored on a 9-yard touchdown pass from Cam Newton in the second quarter. He broke tackles by DeMeco Ryans and Jason Allen to reach the end zone, then got in their faces and taunted them.

“It was a simple play,” Shockey told the media after the game. “And what’s the guys name? DeMario Ryans? DeMeco Ryans couldn’t make the play. It was an easy touchdown.”

It gave the Panthers a 14-0 lead in their 28-13 victory.

“They have a good defense,” Shockey said. “They’re playoff-bound for the first time in franchise history, but you’ve got to show respect to America.”

      Evero?!?! Should he be on the Hot Seat

      By CRA · Posted

      Night and day difference in the front office investements.  Since Morgan has been in the FO (5 years)....4 out of 5 first round picks have been offensive players.  The one defensive pick was a corner. Expand it out to the first 2 rounds? 7 out of the 9 picks have been offensive.  That IMO is why our D sucks so bad.   You build defenses up front.   Carolina hasn't been investing there.  Ron's first 5 years? 3 of the 5 first round picks were defensive players.  Expand it all to include second rounders  7 of the 10 picks were defensive.  All front 7 players.

      I think he gets this year to show what he can do.  Last year, we had a lot of injuries. This year, we should have some players, even if we lose one or two.  It's the first preseason game.  Some of the starters weren't even in it.  There is no scheming or game planning.  Let's see how guys do when it counts. I think we have a GM that knows a thing or two about defense.  Let it play out.

      give some props to Andy Dalton

      I was ok with the mentor aspect of keeping Dalton, but wow has he fallen off the deep end. The slow behind the WR interception was awful. I keep hearing our WRs created no separation, but on that particular play dude was wide open and Dalton couldn't get it to him with a clean pocket. Next year, we need to address the backup QB spot haaaaaard!
