Dan Fouts: ‘If He Is Physically Up To It, Eli Should Keep Running Offense Because He’s Seen Everything’

(CBS New York)- The New York Giants 35-17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1 saw starting quarterback Eli Manning throw for over 300 yards and a touchdown against a strong Cowboys defense.

However, after the game, the focus was less on Eli’s good plays than on the ones that he wasn’t able to make. Specifically, people zeroed in on a play in the third quarter where, with the Giants trailing by eight and the ball inside the 10-yard line, Shurmur called a bootleg for Manning that ended disastrously.
