Video: All 25 Eli Manning Interceptions

eclipz928 : 8/16/2011 10:51 pm
I put together a crude video that exclusively concentrates on each of Eli's interceptions from last season. Figured it would be helpful in ending a couple debates concerning Eli's turnovers from last season, and also for starting some new ones. Hopefully at least some of you find something like this useful in aiding in your own personal of evaluation of Eli's 2010 season. Go ahead and check it out.


Disclaimer: I'm not a professional by any means and I don't know much about video editing, so I apologize in advance that this isn't the "neatest" production put together. Also the video won't be up very long so if you're gonna look at it do it soon.

Good stuff man!  
AnishPatel : 8/16/2011 10:53 pm : link
You saved all the games and had them on your CPU? How much memory does that take up?
Eli definitely didn't have help  
robbieballs2003 : 8/16/2011 10:57 pm : link
but one major rule is to never leave the ball high over the middle of the field. It could lead to a bunch of interception or get your receivers killed.
they  
davemeggett : 8/16/2011 11:02 pm : link
Should really take picks off of receivers hands onto account with the qb rating system
17 picks  
enjayray : 8/16/2011 11:02 pm : link
2 questionable ones werent his fault either ... wow he sucked vs philly
There are more than a few on the receivers  
Greg from LI : 8/16/2011 11:03 pm : link
But there are a lot of bad decisions and terrible throws, too. Both Eli and the WRs need to tighten their shit up.
That was the best  
Jolly Blue Giant : 8/16/2011 11:04 pm : link
And worst video I've ever seen. There were about 5 tipped balls and about 2 or 3 bad routes. The rest seemed to be bad decisions.
Excellent stuff!  
bradshaw44 : 8/16/2011 11:04 pm : link
I'd say less than half were on Eli
How many did he have  
giantsfan39 : 8/16/2011 11:04 pm : link
when you subtract tipped balls and incomplete routes?
I stopped keeping track at 7  
Greg from LI : 8/16/2011 11:05 pm : link
I'd say around 10 were more on the receiver than the QB.
yeah  
robbieballs2003 : 8/16/2011 11:05 pm : link
you can defend Eli by saying that a lot were tipped or receivers ran bad routes but the majority are bad decisions. There were too many passes that were thrown into extremely tight coverage, double and triple coverage and some where Eli forced it when pressured.
Watching those  
Mister O : 8/16/2011 11:06 pm : link
It's a sad reminder how we had to rely on Derek Hagan.
Anish, the games took up quite a bit of space.  
eclipz928 : 8/16/2011 11:06 pm : link
The games were around 5GB a piece, and that was low quality. They're all deleted now (couldn't get them off my PC fast enough).

I thought the Houston and Minnesota games were particularly brutal to watch, but at least the Houston game was well in control before the turnovers started flowing.
5 Gs  
AnishPatel : 8/16/2011 11:10 pm : link
damn man! How do you get them from your tv to the PC? How much space does high quality take?
I was blaming  
Mason : 8/16/2011 11:13 pm : link
the receivers on some of those tips during the season but watching some of them I recant. They were bad throws or totally giving up on routes where it's amazing that the receiver was even athletic enough to get their hands on them. That Barden one stands out to me as one. Barden is like 6'7 and he had to jump, extend his arms over his head and the ball still only catches the tip of his fingers.
I got to 16  
B in ALB : 8/16/2011 11:13 pm : link
And had to shut it off. Good stuff though.
what a freakin turnover machine....  
darasman : 8/16/2011 11:16 pm : link
Eli sucks....ya think maybe we can trade him for a tackling dummy, a few water bottles and a clip board??
I've got 6 or 7 clearly on WRs  
GMenLTS : 8/16/2011 11:17 pm : link
12ish clearly on Eli

3 of them could be both WR & QB (thinking of what are clear miscommunications)

and I've got some that are just really fucking good individual defensive efforts that fall under all 3 categories.

I also recall games like GB, Indy where a couple came in garbage time trying to force things.

All in all, about what I expected. A 25 INT season, Eli responsible for his usual 12-17 INTs, but this time an excessive amount of tips and outstanding defensive plays.

When the guy is on though and not throwing those picks? He can carve a D with the best of em.
bah, 12ish was supposed to be 15-16ish  
GMenLTS : 8/16/2011 11:18 pm : link
thought I went back to delete/change but I guess not
Awesome video, thanks for doing this  
kmed : 8/16/2011 11:33 pm : link
Here's what I got:

1. Nicks(Good throw, drop)
2. AB(good throw, drop)
3. Barden(good throw, drop)
4. Eli
5. Nicks(good throw, drop)
6. Eli
7. Eli
8. Eli
9. Smith/Eli(bad throw, drop)
10. Nicks(same as above)
11. Eli
12. Nicks/Eli(50/50 fault, Nicks stopped his route, Eli still threw it)
13. Eli
14. Eli
15. Eli
16. Eli(hail mary at the end of the game)
17. Eli
18. Eli
19. Eli
20. Eli(tipped at the line)
21. Eli/Nicks(miscommunication again)
22. Eli
23. Eli
24. Eli(bad throw, drop)
25. Eli

So in conclusion:

14 INT's totally on Eli Manning.
1 INT tipped at the line, but still on Eli.
2 INT's based off Nicks not running his routes
4 INT's that were good throws and dropped.
3 INT's that were dropped, but not good throws.
1 Hail Mary
8 on wideouts  
Motley Blue : 8/16/2011 11:39 pm : link
2 more probably on wideouts
4 combination of varying degrees QB/WR/Defense doing their homework and having recognition(hard to say)

The rest bad decision/bad throw/tip at LOS by defender with more of them being the bad decision variety, which game circumstances can certainly have an impact on.

At the harshest, you could put 18 of them on Eli
At the kindest, you could put 12 of them on Eli

Split the difference and blame Eli for 15
Every QB throws picks that are the fault of  
chris r : 8/16/2011 11:39 pm : link
his WRs so its not really fair to separate them from Eli's total unless we have reason to believe that a larger share of Eli's were his receiver's fault as compared to other QBs.
I think it was just one of those years  
kmed : 8/16/2011 11:41 pm : link
where a large % of the dropped balls took bad bounces. Eli was still solely responsible for 14, IMO and a lot of those were bad decisions and awful throws.
Great job eclipz,  
shepherdsam : 8/16/2011 11:45 pm : link
thanks for this.
ok, now that we got the INTs explained  
darasman : 8/16/2011 11:46 pm : link
how many of 7 fumbles (5 lost) where the ground's fault???
Where's the ground?  
kmed : 8/16/2011 11:47 pm : link
Um, look down?
the ground- Zero  
Motley Blue : 8/16/2011 11:48 pm : link
gravity- all of them
so sorry Kmed  
darasman : 8/16/2011 11:49 pm : link
*were
kmed  
Mayhap : 8/16/2011 11:49 pm : link
you think #25 was on Eli? Not the best angle in that shot, but it looked like a catchable ball to me.
doomed?  
davemeggett : 8/16/2011 11:49 pm : link
.
Mayhap,  
kmed : 8/16/2011 11:51 pm : link
it was an errant throw over the middle that was too hard and too high. I guess Smith(I think) could get some of the fault, but I have that one on Eli.
Wow  
Dave in Hoboken : 8/16/2011 11:52 pm : link
Alot more tipped pass than I recall. And too many from Nicks. Nicks has to hold on to those.
As far as Nicks,  
kmed : 8/16/2011 11:54 pm : link
I've got 2 good throws that he dropped that turned into INT's, I've got 1 on a bad throw that hit both of his hands and I've got 2 based on him stopping his route and running the wrong route.
yeah, some of it was just dumb bad luck  
Greg from LI : 8/16/2011 11:55 pm : link
There are a whole lot of those that just bounced straight into some defender's hands.
i have it about  
5J : 8/16/2011 11:57 pm : link
19 on Eli, 6 not his fault. i think the nicks and barden ones in the carolina game were on Eli. they were shit throws. within 15 yards of the line, no pressure and he made the WR go out of his way, fully extending the arms trying to make the catch. thats eli's fault. watch brady (and others) throw from that distance. ball is thrown right between the numbers every time. QB has to put it there in that situation or its his fault. sorry.

ill defend eli all day, but i fell i'm being realistic about the INT from last year.
On the Barden one  
Dave in Hoboken : 8/16/2011 11:58 pm : link
he jumps like he has something stuck up his ass. Weak.
The ones in the Carolina game were on Eli?  
Dave in Hoboken : 8/16/2011 11:59 pm : link
Those passes were pretty much right there for both guys.
I still think the Dallas one (in retrospect, the season backbreaker)  
lalalalala : 8/16/2011 11:59 pm : link

was 100% on Nicks and the ball has to come out. Let's see if I'm right. lol.
I have 18 on Eli...  
kmed : 8/17/2011 12:00 am : link
14 bad throws or bad decisions, 1 tip at the line and 3 that were bad throws that were dropped.

6 on the receivers and 1 hail mary.
Greg I agree  
darasman : 8/17/2011 12:00 am : link
it seems like any given Sunday anything could happen...but under normal circumstances half of those balls fall to the turf incomplete...just not in 2010 with the GIants...
On Carolina....  
Greg from LI : 8/17/2011 12:00 am : link
Nicks' is thrown behind him. Should he have made the catch? Yes, but Eli should make a better throw there. No reason not to hit your target in the chest there. And Barden's was well over the head of a 6'6" man. Not a good throw.
You're right,  
kmed : 8/17/2011 12:02 am : link
I would change that one on my list from good throw, dropped to bad throw, dropped. Def too high.
Eli has the tendency to throw behind guys sometimes.  
Dave in Hoboken : 8/17/2011 12:04 am : link
Like in the 2007 home game vs Dallas TD pass to Shockey right in front of Roy Williams. Some of them are still catchable. And Barden barely had to jump for his, had no one in front of him, and has it bounce off his hands. Not every pass a QB throws is going to be in the numbers. Sometimes the QB has guys in his face, sometimes he is on the run. It happens. Not hitting the guy in the numbers doesn't mean it's uncatchable.
hmmm not quite right  
lalalalala : 8/17/2011 12:07 am : link

it's a timing route but you can see something is wrong there.

then again, the other option is getting smushed and he probably fumbles anyway. lol.

Dave  
5J : 8/17/2011 12:09 am : link
the pass to barden in the carolina was a 7 yard pass to a wide open 6 foot 6 WR from a QB standing in the pocket, in a clear passing lane, withno pressure. that has got to be dead on between the numbers every time. i dont care if wee-man is the WR it has to be a perfect throw.
It could have been a better pass.  
Dave in Hoboken : 8/17/2011 12:18 am : link
It would be nice if every pass a WR attempted to catch was right in the numbers. Sure. But, it unforunately doesn't work that way. It was still a very catchable pass for a guy Bardens' size. He jumped, but not very high. He didn't have to battle any DB for the ball either. It could have been a better pass, I agree. But it still should've been caught given A) Bardens' size B) No DB to battle it out with. I mean, that is the biggest reason Barden is here. His size.
the throw sucked, Dave  
Greg from LI : 8/17/2011 12:19 am : link
You can complain about Barden all you want - there is no earthly reason for that pass to be 5 feet over his head. None.
It wasn't the best throw  
Dave in Hoboken : 8/17/2011 12:21 am : link
but it could have been caught. For as bad as it was, it hit off his hands, and the guy barely jumped.
the funny thing about Barden's jump  
lalalalala : 8/17/2011 12:25 am : link

it seemed like he got shorter jumping. that he could have just put his hands up and done the same thing
The good thing about Eli is that he is always looking to improve  
giantsfour : 8/17/2011 12:35 am : link
I think that he should take two things from these highlights.

1. Make better game situation decisions. For example on 3rd and 14, under pressure and rolling to your left, do not try to complete a pass to a receiver standing 3 yards downfield. If you are ahead by 18 points with 4 minutes left in the game and you are under pressure, throw the ball away or take the sack.

2. It seems that his high throws come early in the game. Seems like too much adrenaline. Calm yourself down.
EA's scouting report about Eli was completely was right  
Optimus-NY : 8/17/2011 12:37 am : link
Whenever he misses (mostly), he misses high.
