Saints Head Coach Sean Payton Talks Shockey

I thought (Jeremy) Shockey was outstanding in the second half. We finally were able to get him the ball. He had been open a number of times. Those are all things that stood out differently.”

Jeremy (Shockey) felt for instance in that game there were some matchups inside. There were two examples inside where we got sacked or hurried before we could get it to him, but in the second half we were able to find some opportunities to get him the football and I thought that again, part of what you look at what we’re doing offensively.

I thought Shockey’s play in the fourth quarter was part of that process as well. It was significant. Your quarterback’s going to have dialogue with you more than at maybe some other positions, yet, I think we as coaches always want to pay attention to what we’re seeing and hearing as well.”
