Shockey's main problem with Eli was that Eli wasn't getting him the ball when he thought he was open.

With Brees, if Shockey's open, he'll get the ball. If he's not, Brees and Payton will keep him in his place.


The defense is another story, but if that offense stays healthy, every week will look like Arena Football.

I think this is a twofold benefit to the Saints. First, the get a Pro Bowl player whose work ethic is beyond reproach. He is tall, strong, and can block with the best of them. The second benefit is that the Saints, by going after players like this, are setting the example that no one is indespensible. They did it with several players, including Horn. This tends to make other players "get on board or be left behind". Unfortunately, most players today are, IMHO, grossly overpaid and think that they, as individuals, are what makes the team successful. A prime example of this is the article today on Devin Hester!
