I know he's struggled as of late but man ...

Yeah, familiar with those numbers, was watching 'em with you, Brother, but here's my take - his play of late has been bad, real bad...

But, the sampling is within just a few games, so it leads me to questions...

Has he an unadvertised injury? All NFL teams just overlook reporting it...
Has the scheme, coverage been tweaked, for whatever reasons, and no longer favorable to his skill-set?
Does he have other off-field issues going on that's affecting his focus, distracting him?

Look, he was balling out for the first half of the season, then the bottom falls out on his game? That just doesn't make sense...

And it may be on him, the scheme, unreported injury, but that just doesn't make sense for a guy to have come in last season, take the defense up a notch, start this season lights-out, then what? Crap?

Just my take but Eli hadn't been the same since the Chicago game where he had that scary injury with his knee during garbage time.

See, that's what I'm talking about. He was playing really well; and it's not like Payton would be upfront reporting it...

You really think Drew feels as good as he did at the beginning of the season and none of the injuries he's had are still affecting him?

NFL teams don't keep injury reporting longer on the books than they're required to do...

It's tough playing such a physical game when you are injured. My guess is that he hasn't either fully healed or he hasn't regained confidence in his knee after he finished rehab. He played very well after he caught onto the scheme last year and he looked like an improved player with a first round grade before his injury. I believe that like Kamara he isn't fully healed yet and it shows on the field. Leg injuries can drastically slow down your ability to get around the field. I'm hoping that he gets better both physically and in his on the field performance.
