What doesn't make sense to me is that he didn't need to do that at all. He was with the receiver and it was near out of bounds, so if he catches it, he's not taking it to the house. I know sometimes corners will PI to save the score, and that wasn't the case here. Perhaps as you mentioned, he did that because the QB broke the pocket, but then that infers he wasn't even looking towards the QB after, because if he was, he knew the ball was coming. weird.
I like Eli as a backup, but am anxious to get Waynes in the lineup. I won't say back, as he hasn't started once.
