The Giants have finally dealt away TE Jeremy Shockey. In what seemed to me an unexpected move, New York traded him to the New Orleans Saints today for 2 draft picks.
This is insane! What a dumb trade by the Giants! Shockey is worth a 1st round pick, and they settled for less because they were in a hurry. HA! That’s whatcha get I guess for being an ####.
The Saints have just pulled off the steal of the century by landing Shockey. The offense in Nawlins is absolutely frickin’ loaded! The Saints are undoubtedly, undeniably the favorite in the NFC South this season.
Here is their schedule:
1. TB 2. @ WSH 3. @ DEN 4. SF 5. MIN 6. OAK 7. @ CAR 8. SD (London) 9. BYE 10. @ ATL 11. @ KC 12. GB 13. @ TB 14. ATL 15. @ CHI 16. @ DET 17. CAR
If you ask me, that looks like an 11-5 or 12-4 record. You don’t have to ask me though, because that’s why I’m here, to tell you. The Saints are making the playoffs guaranteed. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the Saints are gonna be one of the Vegas favorites come September.
At the same time as this helps the Saints, we need to look at the Giants and see if this really does hurt them.
Here is their schedule for 2008:
1. WSH 2. @ STL 3. CIN 4. BYE 5. SEA 6. @ CLE 7. SF 8. @ PIT 9. DAL 10. @ PHI 11. BAL 12. @ ARZ 13. @ WSH 14. PHI 15. @ DAL 16. CAR 17. @ MIN
That looks like about a 9-7 season without a playoff berth. there is too much competition in the NFC Wild Card for them to make it, and I’m pretty sure that it’s common sense the Cowboys are gonna win the division. Minnesota, Green Bay, Arizona, Philly, and Tampa Bay all have better shots at the playoffs that the Giants do without Shockey.
They have pretty much based this trade on a foolish decision to go with the Tight End who made one big catch. Kevin Boss (I think it’s Kevin, right?) made a good play in the Super Bowl that got the Giants way downfield in order to win the game.
Okay, to give credit where credit is due, he was wide open, and the defender pretty much fell on his face like an ostrich, so it was less impressive than some people seem to think.
Giants fans, beware, I’m not saying Boss is a bad tight end, in fact I do think he’s pretty good, but don’t get your hopes up for him being a Player of the Year candidate like Jeremy Shockey would be.
That’s all I got for this topic, let me hear your thoughts.
