i seem to be disagreeing with you the past few posts ive seen that you made. NO WAY HE'S TOP 3. cant be possible cause he cant stay on the field.

no particular order:

tony g
mcmichael
boo williams
crumpler
bubba franks
heap
billy miller
freddie jones

just to name a few i think are the same caliber and some much better based on blocking, recieving and last but not least DURABILITY

lol, youre crazy if you think Shockey is just media hype. When has the media ever said one good thing about shockey. They jsut talk aobut his love for boobs and how he runs his mouth. But you cant argue with the fact that he pushed linebackers down like they were stickfigures and makes plays happen. Hes had the injury bug ever since he was in the NFL but ify ou think he is overrated and not that good then you need to start watching football more, then make an assesment.

Shockey is a fine player but I don't think the fact that he plays in New York should be overlooked. Maybe it's not media hype per se but he definitely gets more attention playing in New York than he would in Seattle for example

My custom-made Sean Taylor jersey arrived two weeks ago, and I must say it looks sweet. (Of course, it would look better on me if I was 6'2 and wore a visor, but hey, I digress.) I ordered it because I think Taylor is going to be a fearsome DB for the Skins for a long, long time and I want to be able to say "I got his jersey before he even played a down for us."

A Cooley jersey would be awesome, too. I think he'll turn into a modern-day Clint Didier.

My thoughts exactly. Although they appear to be two sides of the same coin, I think the Cooley/Didier comparison is right on point. Didier was more of a speed guy, Cooley appears to be a more power guy. Didier was never considered one of the top TE's in the league (as far as I can recall, I don't think he ever made the pro bowl) - He just didn't have the talent to be considered elite. He did, however, have the talent to be a very good TE in Gibbs offense, a weapon that was ignored at the opposing D's risk. I believe Cooley will be the same AND I think Gibbs will find lots of ways to get him involved.

As for Shockey, lots of talent, lots of hype and, as for the rest - JoeC said it all best.

i was thinking the same thing about you. anyways, his blocking is suspect, durability is a horrible issue for his so called "toughness", and if you dont know the names i put up earlier, then you dont know what a TE is. more then half of their job is blocking. and being that im from NY, you cant tell me anything. Ive seen more of what the media dont show of him. with the skins,, i believe terrell was crunched more than our linebackers were.
