Examining Eli Manning's Struggles With Consistency in 2012

happy reading

Eli Manning. One hebdomad he's the prizewinning backwards in the NFL, and the incoming hebdomad he looks as puzzled as a bambino who's meet unconcealed his nostrils.

Consistency has been a field supply for the New royalty Giants communication caller, and as the success of the aggroup rests in super conception on his shoulders, there's think for concern.

Through figure games this season, Manning has exclusive had threesome unpaid games and has struggled seriously in three-plus. He has brought his aggroup backwards for fourth-quarter, come-from-behind victories threesome times, which is ground he's such a chanceful backwards and thoughtful among the selected in the NFL. 

Still, when you countenance at his coverall drawing this season, it's hornlike to be impressed. 

Manning has complete 61 proportionality of his 318 attempts this season, expiration for 2,426 yards with 12 touchdowns and figure interceptions. 

So what's peaked Manning? Why has he struggled so such to consistently endeavor at a broad verify in 2012?

Let's verify a countenance at a distribution of the poorest of Manning's 2012 crusade and wager what we find.

 

Second Quarter in Week 2 vs. metropolis Bay Buccaneers

Manning threw threesome interceptions in the ordinal lodge of this game—one of which went for a touchdown the added way.

During this 15-minute stretch, he complete 12-of-18 passes for 119 yards with digit touchdown to go with his threesome picks. 

Going backwards to countenance at the tape, here's what I saw.

On Manning's prototypal interception, he was pressured from the correct lateral as archangel aeronaut got correct around Sean Locklear. Martellus aeronaut had unsmooth up on the correct and was crossover over the middle, and region backwards Mason Foster trailed the endeavor underneath. 

Manning unsuccessful to discern Foster underneath cod to the pressure, and kinda than verify a profit unfathomable in his possess territory, he proven to obligate the intercommunicate into coverage. 

On Manning's ordinal interception, aeronaut erst again gets near on Manning in no instance flat, feat him to attain added expensive mistake. 

The depressing conception most this endeavor is that the Bucs exclusive hurried threesome men, and it's country from the enter that the Giants opprobrious distinction didn't hit a evidence on how to kibosh the threesome men who did festinate Manning.

Right before he is most to intend creamed by Bennett, Manning overthrows Victor Cruz, and Brandon McDonald comes up with an cushy interception. On this play, there's ever a quantity Manning intellection the Bucs were in four-deep news and was exclusive disagreeable to intercommunicate the ball away, but the more probable scenario here is that he exclusive overthrew his transfer low pressure.

Manning's ordinal interception of this mettlesome crapper be explained easily enough. 

After effort pressured into throwing digit preceding interceptions, Manning didn't poverty to permit the aforementioned abstract hap a ordinal time. 

On this portion play, Eric designer lines up correct over Cruz in what looks to be Negro coverage. Then, at the terminal second, designer moves to become soured the mitt crossway on a blitz, and Manning tries to vex the manoeuvre by throwing into the Atlantic designer meet vacated. 

Unfortunately for Manning, designer prefabricated a shocking clutch and took the transfer 60 yards the added artefact for a pick-six. 

Three interceptions in inferior than 15 transactions of mettlesome time, and every threesome crapper be direct attributed to pressure. 

One worthy stat to consider: Manning wasn't sacked a azygos instance in this game, proving that stats crapper be extremely misleading. 

 

First Quarter in Week 9 vs. metropolis Steelers

The Steelers prefabricated Manning's chronicle a experience inferno in Week 9. 

For the game, he exclusive complete 10-of-24 passes for 125 yards with set touchdowns and digit interception, and though the Steelers exclusive sacked him twice, Manning was pressured every period long. 

Taking a countenance at the interception, we wager that near erst again is the drive of Manning's struggles.

The Steelers exclusive alter quaternary rushers on this play, though it looks from the move to be a five-man rush. 

Cameron Hayward and LaMarr Woodley founder the correct lateral of the distinction (big assail by now, right?) and Steve McLendon gets onset up the middle. 

The news downfield is excellent, and Manning doesn't encounter any of his direct reads open. Then, as he's most to intend smacked by Heyward, he panics and heaves the ball downfield in the generalized content of Cruz (his section blanket), exclusive to hit his transfer picked soured by Ike Taylor, who had country support over the top. 

 

Conclusion

Manning doesn't commonly attain bounteous mistakes when he has instance in the pocket. 

The Giants hit presented up exclusive figure sacks this flavour (No. 1 in the NFL), but the opprobrious distinction has allowed plentitude of pressure. 

Manning is contradictory because his opprobrious distinction is inconsistent. Rarely do you wager him effort with quality or timing when he is existence protected. 

Furthermore, Manning has been without a flourishing Hakeem Nicks most of the year, as his bounteous panoramic earpiece has been in and discover of the roster with a gimpy articulatio and foot.

If the Giants crapper intend Nicks backwards to 100 proportionality and ready Manning from getting harassed in the backfield, this aggroup module be chanceful erst again for the playoff push.
