I know the coaches don't want Eli injured, but they need to make defenses plan for the possibility of an Eli run if they are going to get the most out of their offense. (Yes, the field conditions had something to do with the Miami defense's inability to change directions and pursue Eli on that run, but if they had planned for the possibility of an Eli run, they would have left at least one player on that side of the field. This would have left one less player covering the Giant receivers) I’m convinced that Eli was able to run for that TD in the Miami game because the Miami game plan had Eli running as a very low priority.
