Blue may face Giant void

Missing Shockey would really hurt

BY HANK GOLA
DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER

Ankle woes have Jeremy Shockey questionable and may leave Giants vulnerable to Redskin blitz.
If the Redskins already were not certain about their defensive game plan for tomorrow night, the latest bit of injury news from the Giants just about cemented it.

Tight end Jeremy Shockey limped around the locker room yesterday, and sat out a third straight day of practice. It appears Eli Manning and the Giants will be without yet another weapon when they play for their playoff lives in Washington.

Redskins defensive coordinator Gregg Williams should be dialing up plenty of blitzes.

"He's a smart guy and I think he can see what's gone on the last couple of games for us," center Shaun O'Hara allowed. "Philadelphia pressured us a lot and the Saints pressured us a lot so we don't expect to see anything different. Really, it's up to us to just stop it, to make plays and hurt them on defense to force them out of it."

If Shockey doesn't play the rest of the team will really have to pick up the slack in getting personal fouls and dropping passes.

Shockey can void next year on his contract and become a UFA. I wonder what kind of deal he can get on the open market with few impact FAs out there and every team (except the Skins) with tons of money to throw around..

I have to laugh when I think of the play last year when Shockey was complaining to a ref that he should have gotten a flag while the play was still happening. What a maroon.
