So you're saying by not acquiring shockey our D goes from bottom of the league to 5-7?..what player are we going to get to make that happen???? a second round draft pick will do all this?????
Shockey can help our defense as much as some second round player could, in my opinion. If we were to get Keith Rivers/ Sed Ellis in the first, and use our second to get Shockey, have we not significantly improved our team??? Besides, Shockey can take this offense from pretty good to elite. The Pats greatness this year was due to their OFFENSE, not their D. Their O put up so many points that all their D had to do was sit back in coverage and let the game come to them. If we are that close to being elite on offense, why are so many just satisfied with our offense being good enough? That really irks me to read that kind of stuff. The Colts and Pats certainly could take the "good enough" approach, but they don't. They don't rest on their laurels.
Saints aren't "good enough" at anything until they win a Super Bowl.
