And he can catch the dinky dunk pass. (Well most of the time he catches them). I would still say no. IMO he's a #2 TE and we already have one in Fasano.

 

Pod, I see what your saying, we need all the help in the dept of emotion we can get, especially in our stadium, but I also believe your not gonna get the production your thinking of, this player is severely on the downside..

He is from the U and I wouldnt be mad if it happened..

Tell me what your seeing in the Shuler kid..you got some tape?

 

I don't think its a good idea for this team. The Phins don't need anyone past their prime, even if it is an upgrade.

 

Sparano would just neuter him like he does everyone else......not saying we don't need another TE but the attitude you're looking for needs to be inspired or at least supported by the HC, not some FA TE.

 

Just like he neutered the defense

 

I used to find myself disagreeing with most of your material, but lately I've been finding myself agreeing... maybe Kyle Orton or Vince Young wouldn't be so bad after all.

Astounding...anyway....

I think Shockey would be a good low-risk investment, at the bare minimum, for his leadership.

 

Um....no

Pay attention, that was Nolan's defense....and if you don't think Sparano instilled a "playing scared" mentality on the offense. then once again I say.......pay attention

 

Who was the other TE in 09 that was a threat?

 

*Four word rebuttal*

 

I am paying attention. He didn't instill a "playing scared" mentality on the offense.

 

I used 6.

 

Three for me

 

Good for you. I will use nine, this time.

 

Never change DD, Never change.

Let me preface this by saying I'm all for them signing Jeremy Shockey in the right circumstances, that he'd be a fine receiving option and a decent fallback if the host of younger, better tight ends due to be free agents don't make it to the market, and he might be a very cost effective option.

But Jeremy Shockey is an ***-hole, he's not a spark.

If he's got the "will" to dominate, he hasn't found it necessary to apply this will in years. Go find me the last game he dominated in the game log here. The last time I see was a single game vs. Dallas in 2007, and before that the last time he was dominant for any real amount of time was 2005.

A "mean streak" is a phrase typically applied to blocking in football parlance. There's nothing "mean" about Shockey's blocking unless you are using it in the adjective form described as "low in quality, value, or importance; paltry; poor; inferior: now usually in negative constructions"

If anyone exemplifies what you're talking about, it's Brandon Marshall. Someone who will be so aggressive in getting off the jam he's sometimes penalized for being too violent. Someone will the will to dominant who actually shows it, who holds the single game record for receptions. Not David Martin circa 2008 with a ****ty attitude.

 

I particularly enjoyed the killer instinct they showed dropping record numbers of interceptions.

 

If only Sparano hadn't made them so scared of dropping the interceptions, that they ended up dropping them.

 

So the whole DB unit just happens to have terrible hands? Nobody noticed that when they were being scouted and evaluated?

 

sometimes, things happen.

Do teams that play Sanchez so intimidated by Rex Ryan that they drop interceptions?

 

:lol:

You a funny guy.

 

The biggest issue by far and away is his attitude. He might have grown up, or he might just be out of the media because he really isn't good enough that anyone cares enough to justify his antics being reported on.

 

I'm all for signing Shockey. He's only 30, and I do believe he could well be somewhat re-born back in Miami. He brings a "altitude of attitude" to the team, something we really need on O.
