LaCanfora: Beckham will play Thursday vs Redskins

Jints in Carolina : 9/21/2014 9:38 am
Jason La Canfora & #8207;@JasonLaCanfora 22m
Good news is on the horizon for the Giants offense... eventually. No Odell Beckham today but he's fully expected for Thursday vs. Skins
Fuck  
Jon in NYC : 9/21/2014 9:40 am : link
yes.
Clearly, this was the plan all along.

What, 5 plays?

I'll take whatever though.
We gotta win today otherwise it won't matter.

Come on, NYG. Get a fucking win.
Are we going to use him like

He is COMPLETELY OUT today

arc: I think it's critical to have a healthy ODB. I don't think they'd be talking about him playing the Skins if his hammy wasn't 100%. This is very good news.

Jimmy, I'm praying that hammy is 100% and they hold him out today as a precaution. Anything less and this would be a terrible mistake. I don't think he's had a full practice yet.
My point is..  
arcarsenal : 9/21/2014 10:01 am : link
If we fall to 0-3, it's too late. We're not recovering from an 0-3 start with this team and our year is going to be over before October just like it was last year.

We can't let that happen. We need to get it done today. This is actually a huge game.
If that is true  
Peter from CT : 9/21/2014 10:01 am : link
it probably means he's cleared now but hasn't had enough reps for them to want to play him.
What's the over/under on...  
Crispino : 9/21/2014 10:07 am : link
how long he plays before he re aggravates it?

I think this is a bit of a smoke-screen to give the Redskins defense a "little" more to plan against...and I stress a little.

Look for Beckham on punt return duty mostly...
I'll believe it when I see it  
endwerc : 9/21/2014 10:11 am : link
This guy has yet to complete an NFL PRACTICE and he's going to play in a game? OK.
Insane  
Percy : 9/21/2014 10:12 am : link
Guy has to practice. And more than once. Or he doesn't play.
more like a decoy?

Isn't punt returns a little more stressful than lining up to run routes as a receiver? Unless he plans on fair catching it.
Mrvax - I wouldn't think much difference.  
Jimmy Googs : 9/21/2014 10:20 am : link
Just sayin' I don't see a guy who hasn't practiced with the first team offense in 4 months (when we didn't even have a first team offense) ready to run routes for Eli.

Agree  
mitch300 : 9/21/2014 10:25 am : link
With Jimmy, would make more sense if he was questionable for today's game and a hope of Thursday. Let's see if we get confirmation of this from other media.

Agreed in that respect. Punt returner would require a lot less full speed practice but timing is not an issue. Maybe he can practice 2-3 routes this week with Eli so Beckham appears to be a deep threat lining up as the X receiver.

That may help the running game if it forces defenses to account for him.

This. Not expecting much. The rookie who missed all of camp, preseason, and the first three games is suddenly going to save us? Not likely. No fault to Beckham, but we shouldn't need him as a panacea for our problems.
Beckham  
TMS : 9/21/2014 10:54 am : link
needs a lot of practice and game time before he becomes a big asset to us. Thats if he is completely healthy and does not get hurt again. The Skins look weak and after coming off a short week may be made to order for him to get his feet wet.

I would tend to agree. And this Offense needs any help it can get to create some space. Just pray to the Lord above that Beckham doesn't have another "setback" with the hammy or this site will lose its mind...

Maybe it'll happen, but I wouldn't put much stock in anything he doesn't just regurgitate from someone else.
No camp and no games so far and no practice

Even if he's active seriously what can we expect?
He's a rookie  
bc0312 : 9/21/2014 11:52 am : link
that participated in 2 partial practices so far in his career. It's ridiculous to think that he will be able to contribute much on Thursday and for a few weeks beyond.
Jordan Raanan doesn't see it happening either

@JordanRaanan: Re: Beckham... Seems like stretch for guy who hasn't participated in full practice since early June to be "fully expected" to play in 4 days

@JordanRaanan: Let's see Beckham make it through ONE full practice before reaching that conclusion. #Giants only have 2 practices in short week, too.

Have you been watching? The line blocked significantly better against the Cards. They're a work in progress, and should show incremental improvement.

Although, given the usual tone of your posts, that may be too much positive news for you.

Yep. I think you'd have to cut Beason's leg off to keep him out of the lineup for very long during the season.
This news doesn't ring true.  
Phil in Joisey : 9/21/2014 12:25 pm : link
I'll believe it when I see him line up on the field during a real "live" game. Until then let's hope our active receivers can avoid their case of "the dropsies" and get us a couple of victories.

Statistically speaking, it is already over. There are seven 0-2 teams and, historically, at best 1 is going to make the playoffs (and with New Orleans and the Colts being in that group, it isn't likely to be the Giants).

That's just statistics - and I'm watching every snap of every game no matter what happens. But, the Giants making the playoffs in 2014 is already a BIG LONG SHOT.

He is going to be ready four days later. Sounds fishy for a guy who hasn't taken one practice snap yet
