Jeremy ShockeyHey Shockey Way:
Jeremy Shockey has always been a fan favorite wherever he is. It’s likely because he’s so volatile, prone to outbursts of frustration and excitement.
Saturday was no different. In fact, it was more shocking that it took late into the team’s third practice for such an occurrence to happen.
It all unraveled for the tight end during team drills. Shockey released down the middle and got behind the secondary. QB Drew Brees released a pass that honestly should have been intercepted, but it went right through the hands of FS Usama Young. Shockey, set up behind Young, had the ball come into his hands and then watched as it popped out. Instead of no less than a 40-yard gain, it was an incomplete pass that the fans groaned at.
Several plays later, Shockey took revenge on the blasted football that caused him so much pain. With QB Patrick Ramsey at the helm, Shockey went low for a catch and was able to corral the ball into his grasp. When the play was over, he wasn’t finished. Shockey punted the ball about 25 yards down the field.
