I have been wanting him to take off when pressured and he finally does but I wanted him to slide down. He also ran about 10 run plays that were option keepers for him. He needs to keep a few of those. There is nobody there and it’s easy yardage. But not if he isn’t going to slide.Excellent decision to take off and pick up the 1st down in the Red Zone, but he already had the 1st by 3 yards. There is zero reason to take the hit at that point. The extra 2 yards aren’t worth the chance of losing the starter for the year.
No matter what one thinks of Eli, he was an iron man because he didn’t take unnecessary hits.
