when wasn't he injured?

the first version of Rob 'Alcohol fueled' Gronkowski.

you could see Giant players laughing/cheering it on the sidelines. How time flies.

To me, the other really outstanding Shockey plays were trucking the colts safety, beating Dawkins on the jump ball, and catching Eli's 4th and 1 touchdown heave with a forward dive against San Fran.

after that game. Most excited I've ever been after a pre-season game

that we have seen this Gronkowski show before. He will ALWAYS get hurt because of the style he plays, just like Shockey. You only get to see guys like this at their peak for like 2-3yrs. Their peaks are amazing, but short.

Shockey trucking that safety in the colt game is just ridiculous.

that isn't the HOF game video. That was when Shockey trucked the homeboy who had talked some junk earlier in the week.

smokes as much Cronk, as Shockey?

Really? Oh wow thanks for the info. I completely missed "Texans" in the OP and thought of the Colts play from his rookie year.

On the opening kickoff Bookie Bolin, Lou Kirouac, and Bob Bill were injured. The Giants kept Bolin on the roster and he became a starter at RG, Kirouac ended up on the practice squad, to join the Giants in 1963. Bill a lineman selected in the second round out of Notre Dame was placed on injured reserve and never made it back from his knee injury.

Imagine your Giants career over in one play.

The game with the Cards in 1962 ended in a 21-21 tie.
