It appears free-spirited tight end Jeremy Shockey will be allowed to dance to the beat of his own drum in New Orleans as long as he stays in step with Saints Coach Sean Payton. And while the team's unofficial Shock-jock has made a few missteps, most notably one in La Vegas two weeks ago that caused quite the Internet rage, he remains on Payton's good side as the team's offseason program winds down. "I like the player, and I think he's going to be a key part of what we do this year, " Payton said Wednesday. "We'll go from there. I think, in the end, it's always the proof is in the pudding anyway. For me, you just got to go with your gut on a decision like that." Source: Times-Picayune News
