Randall Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 January 19, 2007, 06:23 Giants :: QB QB E. Manning To Air It Out In 2007? Ralph Vacchiano, New York Daily News - New OC Kevin Gilbride has seen enough of QB Eli Manning in three seasons as his quarterbacks coach to come to this decision: In 2007, he's going to let Manning air it out. That's what he promised yesterday when he was officially introduced as the Giants' new offensive coordinator. Gilbride was not happy with the results of the Giants' downfield passing attack under former OC John Hufnagel. And he said there's too much big-play potential on the Giants' offense to let it all go to waste. "I expect the ball to go down the field more than it did this year," said HC Tom Coughlin.

Big Score 1 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Bejeebus! Eli just had the fifth most passing attempts in the NFL this season, with 522 & Coughlin expects him to air it out even MORE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 Bejeebus!

Big Score 1 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Deeper. Can he throw it deep with accuracy? Ahhhhh!.....Gotcha. Methinks Plax & Shockey are part deux of that particular equation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithkt Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Deeper. Can he throw it deep with accuracy? He throws a pretty good deep ball. They may be expecting Sinorice Moss to help stretch the field. I think the real problem is his accuracy on the short and intermediate throws. They are too often a little high or behind the receivers. Would be nice if Plax and Shockey were to spend some time in the voluntary camps working on the timing routes.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Cid Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I think Eli throws a better deep ball than he does a short one. He has a real bad habit of trying to aim the ball to Shockey and especially Plax. He overthrows these guy a lot. With the deep ball, he just lets it fly.

Savage Beatings Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Hmmmmm, the Eli Equation. Hope it is more effective than Mike Tice's Randy Ratio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip_Side Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Plax should be a good addition to my team yet again next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chavez Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Maybe it was a prediction - "Eli to err more next season" - which wouldn't be going out on too thin a limb, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikesVikes Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 (edited) Maybe it was a prediction - "Eli to err more next season" - which wouldn't be going out on too thin a limb, really. Or maybe they're going to air out their dirty laundry more often next year. Start telling us what they think of their coaching staff.

Or maybe Eli will just think of himself more as the heir to his big brother's talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xMRogers Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Man, when they showed him in the back of the "manning suite", he looked like such a little kid cheering on his big bro, not an NFL QB. Let him air it out all he wants - I have a few Eagles DB's in my IDP league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airing it out is more throwing it deep than attempting a lot of passes isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
