Giants have 5 tight ends wanting Shockey's place
For the first time in years - and the first time in Tom Coughlin's tenure as Giants coach - the team will start a season with a question mark at tight end.

Now the Giants don't have to worry about
1) Shockey dropping key passes 2) Shockey missing key blocks 3) Shockey's drive killing penalties 4) Shockey's bigotry 5) Shockey's nasty attitude 6) Shockey's IQ of 60 7) Shockey's stench He's never been a top 20 TE, always overrated but indeed very talented. |

Boss made some pretty big plays once he stepped in for Shockey. While I liked Shockey, I think Boss' agility and humongous size will make him a very good replacement.

Its a shame, because I have honestly have seen few tight-ends with his ability.

You're right he was a top 5 TE, just look at his stats on NFL.com . 4 Pro bowls , yeah he sucked. Yes he had some bad drops but, he also made some incredible one hand catches. Yes he got stupid penalties but, he also got extra yards knocking over DBs.He was having a good year and was maturing in his attitude until he got hurt. I like Boss and Matthews can block but, he has hands of stone. Hopefully Johnson can take up the slack. Where did you get #4? |

My mistake top 8 TE, since he got hurt. That was a problem he never play a full season.
Rookie year in 2002 he was #1 with 74 catches in 15 games. 2003 he was #6 48 rec in only 9 games. 2004 #7 61 rec in 15 games 2005 tied for 7th 65rec but #3 in yards in 15 games. 2006 #5 66 rec in 15 games #11 in yards. 2007 #8 57 rec in 14 games #7 in yards. overrated Yeah he had a bad attitude, I won't miss that. |
