Only up 6 at half is real disappointing. Should’ve been much better.
One thing in can tell you is Eli is really fired up to be in the lineup. Dude is flying on and off the field... Getting a pile of high fives from the entire team.
When Speller got hurt last game and he was trying to test himself on the sidelines, to see if he could get back in, he was working with Eli. Speller would get into his stance and Eli would rush at him, to test his hammy. Even though he was working on the other side of an imaginary ball, and it was only a mock rush, he looked to be in good shape. FWIW.
I think you're right. Last week, on the sidelines, it appeared Speller had a hamstring issue. Best to let that rest, if they're confident in Dejarlais an Eli.
