This hasn’t been a problem in general, but only in big moments.
“If you have a tight end who’s going to be crushing down sides, that will definitely go a long way towards helping your run game,” Saturday said. “… Hopefully Brody’s going to be a difference-maker in the blocking game. But you can’t depend on one guy; it’s got to be everybody up front making it happen.”
“That would help a lot just coming around that edge,” Addai said. “Any running back loves to get around that edge and just go. I’m pretty sure [Eldridge] will do what he’s been brought here to do. If that happens, all of us will be happy.”
It’s very difficult to judge a guy as a blocker out of minicamp work. Eldridge did show he’s got the potential to be more than that, working smoothly as a target for Manning and running well.
