I was just wondering what you guys and gals think about the status on Shockey.  I know he missed practiced again today, and I am pretty concerned.  Our offense is definitely a shell of itself without him, especially considering Bushrod will of course need help against Jared Allen.  Who doesn't need help against Allen?  He's an all-pro for a reason.  Of course, the Saints have protected better against 43 teams as opposed to 34s and maybe that's why Bushrod had so many issues with DeMarcus Ware.  Someone please help set my mind at ease!! I guess it is the long-suffering Saints fan in me panicing a bit!
