i liked what he said about chud being flexible and working things to the strengths of the pieces that he has. adapt what you want to do to the talented players you have. don't try and force them into a system. take advantage of all the strengths you have at your disposal and make them all work together.

i also really like the confidence that he has in himself. very much in line with cam in that regard. he thinks of himself as an elite player.

"jeremy who's not here right now." bum bum buuummmm.....

i just can't shake that feeling that right before the season starts shockey is going to sign whatever he was offered. he's an old guy with a lot of TCs under his belt and nothing to force him to go to one this year. getting married in the summer was probably all the incentive he needed to not sign anything until training camps are over. he knows the system and the team. wouldn't take anything to get him back into the swing of things and he'd only make the team better.

I don't think Shockey comes back. The way Olsen is saying it is time fo Barnidge (sp) to step up and it really is. As well as mentionings Tolbert as the replacement. I agree I like shockey but he is holding us back in youth mode, especially when we already have a dominant recieving TE in Greg. I want to see if Gary can take on the #2 reciever TE.

yeah, my head is thinking the same thing. it's just my gut telling me that shockey might be coming back. it's either that or my gut is telling me that 5-6 big tomatoes out of the garden a day isn't really a good thing. it's one of those.

Olsen was freaking clutch his last year with the Bears......Shockey will be an afterthought once the season is over. The debate will be is Graham or Olsen the best TE in our division.

damn it just occured to me how stacked the nfc south tight ends are. when u add veterans like tony g and winslow in atl and TB.

Winslow is with the Seahawks now, didn't mesh with Schiano. They did grab Luke Stocker last year who could develop into a force in his own right.

Olsen needs to stop playing WR and start playing TE. I wish Shockey was still here to show him how it's done. Hopefully, he can learn how to be aggressive from Tolbert because he doesn't play like he weighs 255 pounds.

He only needs to work on his blocking skills, Not much to work on really. This offense is more vertical either way and uses TE's with his skills set.

I loved having Shock last year, but he held Olsen back, and that's how I took Olsen's comments. He said the right words about how they produced as a unit yada yada, but you can tell Olsen thinks he is the man, and wants to proove it this year. We don't need Shockey on the field, maybe we can hire him to walk the sidlines and talk trash
