Saints Coach Sean Payton still believes that he is right in choosing Jeremy Shockey, although Shockey did not perform well last season.
"I like the player, and I think he's going to be a key part of what we do this year," Payton said last Wednesday. "We'll go from there. I think, in the end, it's always the proof is in the pudding anyway. For me, you just got to go with your gut on a decision like that."
"Last year, he was really hampered and he still managed (50) catches," Payton said. "I think he's healthy now. I see him after practice today with Drew Brees, after everyone is off the field, and the two of them are just working on routes. He's a very, very hard worker. He's going to be just fine."
Last year, Shockey had 50 catches (30 resulted in first downs) for 483 yards and no touchdowns, impacted by a sports hernia and ankle injuries. Payton just believes that as Shockey is full recovered now, he will prove his choice to be right.
