1) No one even knows if he'll be healthy enough to play this year
2)He hasn't finished a whole season with the Giants yet
3)He a great TE.....but.selfish and not a team player
4)He's played 7 season and health wise maybe can only play a little more.
5) penalties will go down.........
6)losing him taught the team how to be a team.

I agree you're going to have a solid DL rotation like always, but you're fooling yourself if you think Strahan's not going to be missed. He made key plays at key times, that's what cannot be replaced by a solid rotation. A lot of Giants fans are happy to be 'rid' of Shockey but again, you're fooling yourself to think that Boss is a replacement. Shockey killed the Cowboys, killed the Redskins and killed the Eagles.. He seemed to play his biggest games against the NFC East, time will tell but I think he'll be missed more than G-fans think!
