Worth noting: ESPN.com insider believes HC Sean Payton's biggest mission in picking up Jeremy Shockey was to take double teams away from Colston. Teams would play Cover 2 on the Saints, having a cornerback covering Colston short and a safety hanging back in case he went deep. Payton plans to run routes down the middle of the field with Shockey to move the safety away from Colston. Clayton believes it could lead to a Pro Bowl season for (now contractually happier) Colston (and a more pass-friendly offense for Shockey).
