Eli Manning on Plaxico Burress Double Teams
Eli Manning already knows its going to happen even before he leaves the Giants huddle. The oposing defense will figure out were Plaxico Burress' is lining up and shift another guy to that side. Double teams do wonders to shift the balance in your favor. I hope Plaxico realizes that how valuable this is even though it won't show on the stats sheet.
Real sports fans understand what this can do for a team. For the older readers, do you remember Dan Hampton from the 1985 Chicago Bears as well as all throughout the rest of the 1980's? Many consider him the most valuable player on that legendary 46 defense because of the double teams he would draw on every play. Of course they he didn't get as much press or credit as other members of that defense at the time, but you should go back and watch some tapes. Oh yeah, BTW, that was the defense that sacked Eli Manning's Dad, Archie Manning, 11 times in one game. Ouch!!
