Stay away from Shockey this week? (1 Viewer)

I found this tidbit on PFW's site ... link

A breakout game for TE Jeremy Shockey or WR Amani Toomer, a week after both were flagged for mindless dead-ball penalties, is not out of the question. But know this about Shockey: The Redskins have held him to three receptions for 31 yards combined in the teams’ past three meetings.

Useless statistic or valid cause for concern? Any Giant or Redskin homers care to weigh in?

Correct, he's never done much against Washington. I seem to remember Sean Taylor covering him quite a bit in the past, especially on deeper routes. Taylor's now playing more of a deep safety and probably won't do much man-to-man coverage, but he'll still be in the area on anything medium or deep. On shorter routes, Shockey will have Fletcher, McIntosh, or Washington around him.

Toomer has had some really good games against the Skins.
