Anyone know why Sharper picked off Eli 3 times?

1. Cuz Sharper is a smart player.


2. Eli stares down his WRs bigtime. Next time you get a chance, watch him play. As soon as he takes the snap he's looking directly at his primary target. And he doesn't move to his 2nd and 3rd targets very often. Teams with good safeties are gonna give him trouble till he learns to look at his WR w/o turning his head. Watch Bledsoe play. He looks at his WRs with his eyes, not by turning his whole head.



Hope we can take advantage of it when we play them again.

Bingo! I've seen sooo much Eli this season and that is what he does. His last pick was perfect evidence of it. He had Barber wide open, but went with his first read. I hope Dallas has picked up on this! Although, they did do a good job on him most of the game last time.

Excellent observation. I noticed that as well. Maybe we'll see more defenses take advantage of that.

Remember when we all wanted him to be a Cowboy this year? I sure so.


I didn't at the time, but I do now. We don't need a ballhawking FS, but it would be extremely nice to have one. Especially now that we are actually getting to the QB.

Also, two of those picks could have been fair caught. They were horrible reads.

There were at least 2 more sure picks dropped in that game.

Eli looked hungover or drunk - really

I watch basically all Giants games, I mentioned this a while ago. Hes still got nice talent nad potential, thats why I get pissed when all theese people tried to tell me hes already as good as peyton and I have to think hes awesome or Im lying to myself

He had 4 picks total, and should of had 6. Hes still got a ways to go

Eli looked really bad today. They had every opportunity in the world to beat a very bad Minnesota team and didn't. Minnesota is really bad on offense and gave Eli all the time in the world to throw the ball. Yet Eli should have had 6 picks.

Eli's 4 picks hurt.

Hasselbeck? Brunell?

McNabb is in the hunt but he's about to snap (ouch).

If Bledsoe plays second half on course he gets in. I don't see anyone else playing better.
