Jeremy Shockey's Absence The Real Reason For Eli Manning, New York Giants Success
1/29/08
A lot of the speculation over the last two weeks has been the Giants are a much better football team without Tiki Barber's locker room presence. While that may be the case, I think it's worth considering that Eli Manning and the Giants are having their best success as a result of Jeremy Shockey's absence. While Shockey's a tremendous talent, you can't argue that Eli has looked far more confident and far more comfortable since Shockey was sidelined in Week 15 with a broken leg.
Consider that Shockey's two lowest output games this year (1 catch in each) the Giants were victorious. In his best game - 12 catches - New York lost.
You get the feeling Manning often tried to force the ball to his tight end and didn't feel comfortable with Shockey's constant bravado.
And Eli's postseason numbers speak for themselves.
The only people missing Jeremy this week are those in the media.
