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.
Eli Interceptions - (
New Window )
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.
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.
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
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
ill defend eli all day, but i fell i'm being realistic about the INT from last year.
was 100% on Nicks and the ball has to come out. Let's see if I'm right. lol.
6 on the receivers and 1 hail mary.
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.
it seemed like he got shorter jumping. that he could have just put his hands up and done the same thing
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.
