What did Eli see?

If Brown makes the block I think they score. There’s only so much time to process information and make the call.

though.

Let Shurmur do something before you start defending him. Up to now he has been pretty unimpressive. There is absolutely no improvement over last year or even week to week. And that is in every aspect of the game.

Maybe Eli could tell us

When facing a pass rush. Missing a presnap read is more difficult to understand.

That makes it option 1. He likely saw Beckham, but also thought the running play looked good against the D alignment. If option #1 on any play looks good you go with that. It didn't work because the blocking screwed up. In addition, if Eli starts barking out changes what makes you think the D won't adjust too, and slide someone over? Its a chess game with both adjusting, so why not stick with the original call when you have a positive setup

No one is covering Odell.Eli is in shotgun. They should both see that all Eli has to do is throw it to him. Odell took 2 steps and looked for the ball.

The problem with this take is that the broadcast showed Manning audibling into the run right before the snap. That's what the KILL call is. We'll probably never know what the original call was; it could have been a different run for all anyone knows, but the fact that he either changed a pass to a run with Odell uncovered or didn't audible to a pass with him uncovered is strange, to say the least.
