I know its preseason and who knows if they were giving 100% but i was not impressed with the O-line, especially the run blocking. Im sure they'll pick it up by the start of the season though and having Shockey in there will help alot.

O-line play will come. Even though this is the same guys as last year, they still need some time to gel. It'll come.

run blocking hasn't looked very good the past few seasons, but I hope you're right

Once Shockey comes in I think it will change. Either that, or he will start smacking linemen around until it changes. I agree with Kige it takes a little time to gel.

How does Shockey change the offensive line's blocking? He's a tight end. Who excels in pass-catching. He's no slouch in run blocking, but I seem to believe that whatever Shockey can do in blocking Campbell can do as well.

Except for maybe downfield blocking, but that is assuming the running back isn't hit at the line.

But he didn't like to do it in NY

Oline run blocking is a major concern IMHO.

He didn't like for that to be his primary role. By all accounts he actually likes jacking people up in the running game as long as he gets to run routes in between.
