[quote name='primetime']Sorry, to break it to you, but the defender jumped into him. Now, you could argue that he was going for the ball, but Shockey didn't run into him.
Wow, and NFL.com gamecast says TB converted on a 4th and 1 in FG range and has now scored.[/QUOTE]
The defender did not jump into him. Shockey jumped into the defender because he wasn't looking where he was running. The defender has every right to his position on the field. It was also clear on the slow motion replay that shockey ran into the rear side of the defender, not the other way around. If it was a car accident, then shockey would be at fault, and the same rule applies to the NFL. An offensive player cannot try to run through a defensive player to make a catch and then cry pass interference.
