Shockey is a great player no question... He also acts like a spoiled little bitch sometimes.
He gets upset that Manning misses him open, maybee if they spent the off-season working out together in NJ they would be on the same page..... Plus he is known to not stay on his route, Manning had not progressed to where he can handle multiple options on multiple routes.
I think him going to Miami for offseason conditioning is not a good thing . Sure he comes back in shape but he can afford any trainer in NYC to do that for him. He looses time together with his QB, if he were smart he would be going out to titty bars with Eli everynight.
I hope he will have a great season, and if he stays healthy there is little doubt that he will, but a closer relationship with the QB is always a good thing.
