| Sees the field… In shotgun on most plays and his only running option is a draw… his offensive line is poor. Red-shirt freshman left tackle. Eli doesn't trust his protection. Can't. No way he can take any form of a deep drop and look downfield. With no running game (10 yards rushing the first half) and no real top receivers, he's stuck with the three-step drops and waiting til the last second to see if a receiver can get free. No tight end either. No flaring back. So he's taking some big hits. Taking them well. |
Except for the "no real receiver" part, I think it's quite similar.

Then in two games the recievers fumbled the ball away on the first series Balt/Rams. Those fumblers were OBJ and Leaping Larry.
Eli did not have much to work with last year.
Perkins will make yards and break big plays where Jennings could not.
Ellison is huge upgrade. All of these things are + for the OL.
"Best" Receiving TE: 395 yds and 1 TD
Great catch on the old scouting report.
Eli made TEs look better then they are
Boss , Ballard , Bennet , Donnell (to a lesser extent)
Im fine with him as a receiving TE. Only one i want is Shaheen
