Pro Football Talk - On a few occasions while under pressure, Eli Manning has shifted the ball from his right hand to his left and attempted a pass.

Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride said Wednesday that while Manning has improved in recent years by minimizing his mistakes, he does occasionally try a foolish left-handed pass.

"He still does it," Gilbride said. "I go crazy. It is foolish, it is stupid. You are asking for disaster. Don't do that. Sometimes the instincts are just so strong that they take over."

I remember when Jake Plummer did that. And chances are, if you are following in the footsteps in Plummer, it isn't good lol.

So what? I know tons of people who throw a football with their right hand, and then bat and golf left. It doesn't convert AT ALL.

I can throw a football decent with my left hand. But i've practiced it a shit ton. I can't throw it as far but I'm more accurate throwing a football left handed.
