As I sit in this Trailer listening to R.Kelly and staring at the clock,counting down the minutes until I get off my part time security job,by the way I have 194 minutes left before Im relieved of my duties.Im reading some NFL news,and it occured to me some players who were supposed to change the game as far as we viewed there positions,have fizzled or have been held back do to injuries.Jeremy Shockey came into the league,from the U hungry and made a impact right away and due to injuries and other nonsense wore out his welcome with the Giants,it was to the point where they couldn't stand to be around him and vice versa.He went to New Orleans,and injuries once again have slowed him down but there is also something else missing from his game,he isn't the same player as when he first entered the league,I know he's older but if he doesn't rebound this year he might find himself released or he might have to take a large pay cut.Once again, the tatoos are nice,the quotes are funny,the free spirit thing cool,but it boils down to what are you doing for me now.Some players become old real fast.He was replaced by Kevin Boss in New York who wasn't a household name coming out of college,so Shawn Payton won't hesitate to sit him or cut him,if he isn't productive,Shock,hasn't done much in the last 2 years besides collect his pay and stay hurt,and do and say stupid stuff.Reggie Bush,great all purpose talent,but he will never live up to his college hype.He is another player who can't stay healthy,and is a liability on 3rd and inches,for all his versatility,I believe the Saints want to see more rushing yardage this year out of him.The punt returns are nice,the swing passes out the back field are cute,the hot chick good tabloid reading,but he makes a lot of money and he's played no where up to his contract.For him to not have to take a pay cut he's going have rush for at least 850 yards,play 16 games along with all the other stuff he does.He isn't a 1200 rushing back in the league,but he does so many things well its hard to say he's a bust but this is year 4,and the Public and Saints want more from him.With more teams using 2 backs you would think this would help him stay healthy and productive, but it hasn't.Save your money Shock and Bush this may be your last year of winning the lottery
