NYP: Josh Norman rages over Odell Beckham

Eric from BBI : Admin : 2/2/2016 9:12 am
Quote:
Norman is still upset at Sanders for defending Beckham and apparently wanted no part of an effort by Sanders to broker peace between Norman and Beckham after the game.

Norman began by shutting off Sanders’ initial attempt at friendly banter — “Man, what you think we got going on?” Norman said — then blasted Sanders to his face for applauding Beckham’s actions on the air.

“At the same time, I felt like you had his back on his stuff,” Norman told Sanders in front of a crowd of reporters. “You said something like, if he was your son, you would have [given] him props and [said] ‘Go out and do your thing.’

“This man ran 10 yards at me full speed like he was trying to take me out or something. That’s something you’re going to pat on the back and be like, ‘Good job!’?”

Sanders responded by telling Norman that he was also proud of Norman for how he handled the situation, but Norman didn’t accept his pseudo-apology. Sanders left Norman’s podium shortly afterward.

-OBJ was taking him to school in that game when he dropped that cookie of a td
-as Julio jones said, Norman isn't that special Bc they always roll help to his side.
-in fact I think statistically he covered the other teams #1 less than any other cb in pro football
-f him

He used the same playbook that Finnegan did on Andre Johnson a couple years ago, one that got Johnson so pissed off he beat the shit out of Finnegan on the field. If you're going to slap, grab, push and otherwise mug the guy (after the bullshit stunt with the bat), don't be surprised when he flips out. OBJ deserved the suspension because we still expect self-control, but Norman should have been severely disciplined as well.

Vanzetti : 2/2/2016 10:05 am : link
Norman completely got into Odell's head and threw him off his game, which is what he was trying to do.

Odell dropped an easy TD that was a complete momentum shifter. Then before he caught another pass of more than 2 yards, it was 35-7.

That game was 100% a victory for Norman. I think Odell will learn from it and going forward, it might actually work to Odell's benefit. But he completely lost that day.

What really got to Norman  
shyster : 2/2/2016 10:06 am : link
was the 4th down TD catch that tied the game at 35. Beckham gave him the okie doke double move and then stepped over his body on the way out of the end zone.

Yeah, Panthers won, but Norman was seething.

KWALL2 : 2/2/2016 10:06 am : link
" He toasted him all game" That is the homer post of the year.

He beat him deep and dropped the ball. Then he disappeared unless he was seen dropping the ball or taking cheap shots. He was terrible in that game. He didn't toast the guy all game. That''s the type of comment that gets you laughed out of a room.

Nobody, except a giant fan with blinders on, would say he toasted him all game.

I didn't say Beckham had a great game. I said that Norman's bitch ass couldn't cover him for shit. Two different concepts there.

PaulBlakeTSU : 2/2/2016 10:26 am : link
with KWALL

Norman was bailed out by Beckham's dropped gimme touchdown, and by the fact that the Panthers D got enough great pressure on the Giants such that he didn't have time to connect with Beckham when he burned him for what should have been another big touchdown.

Norman is an overrated punk. Beckham had to be punished for the hit (even though every hit I could find that has actually caused paralysis is a straight on collision to the top of the head and not an earhole, and even though technically the play was still live). But I have no sympathy for instigators whose entire focus is to try and bait a guy into snapping and then have someone actually snap at him,

He burned him later in the game as well for what would have been a huge gain if Eli didnt get hit as he threw. The film doesnt lie KWALL. Beckham abused him. And remember Norman didnt follow him all game.

But the times they were matched up, Norman could not handle him whatsoever.

He burned Norman, and it was early in the game. I think if he caught that, he would have been in a better headspace. And I agree with most here: Odell obviously has had better days but 1:1 Norman cannot cover him.

About patting BOTH of them on the back? For being "a dog" in regard to "when it's on, it's all the way on?"

He wants a dog, he said. As in, as a son.

I think the vast majority of BBI has chimed in - then and since - saying that BOTH of these guys (OBJ and Norman) behaved reprehensibly and should have been tossed early on.

How many here want "a dog" for a son?

I'm pleased to say that my son is a sportsman and plays with fire and passion, but has never shown his ass like those two did that day.

In short: STFU Deion. You're a fucking asshole.

Beckham had ZERO catches, a few drops, a few penalties, as CAR built a 4 TD lead.

He ran by Norman for an easy score and dropped it. He did it again later? That doesn't add up to toasting the guy all game.

Beckham is the best player on the team but he was one of the main reasons the Giants were in a huge hole. He didn't toast the guy all game. He did nothing for 3 qtrs except hurt his own team.

Beckham's drop and the OL's inability to block for the QB does not mean Norman played well. You have to be able to differentiate the 2. You wanna say Beckham didnt play well? Thats fine, I would agree with you.

But Beckham's poor game was not caused by Norman's defense.

Regarding the football performance. What is of consequence is Norman bitching about OJB behavior when he instigated the fight with his poor behavior. Does not excuse obj actions in the least, but it also says a lot about Norman. And what a punk he is.

My issue is about the comment of Beckham toasting the guy all game. It didn't happen.

Come on. If the roles were reversed and somebody said that about a WR on his team you would laugh at the guy, wouldn't you?

It's clear Beckham had an awful game. Just terrible starting with the dropped TD, swinging punches, more drops, stupid penalties. and then the big cheap shot.

It was awful. No other way to describe it or defend it. Saying it doesn't make you a bad fan or a hater.

Also not coincidental that CAR signed Finnegan shortly before Norman's matchup with OBJ. What Finnegan pulled against Johnson years ago was criminal. The NFL allowing this behavior to go on will only lead to more of it in the future.
Old news  
Simms : 2/2/2016 12:52 pm : link
Ref's let both players get out of hand, and should have called a stop to it sooner.

At this juncture you can only hope somehow it sunk in for a better tomorrow. Apparently this is not the case.

Sanders and others are simply fanning the flames.
In OBJ's case his ego taking a hit could be a good thing for the future. Norman still in game mode a SB title within his reach. Hard to expect him to tone anything down right now, good, bad, or otherwise.

Time will tell as it always does.
Hope the best for both of these players.

Norman started the whole episode  
Elite Mobster #32 : 2/2/2016 1:21 pm : link
It began by bringing a baseball bat to the football field, swinging it at him, pointing and threatening with it while talking shit. What would you do? This guy gets on the field running his mouth. Body slams him disrespects him.

The Refs don't call anything. ALL GAME the refs aren't calling it. They let them go at it. So they went at it. Beck wasn't getting the ball because Eli was pressured. Beck was being ATTACKED by every member of the secondary. Including the proclaimed dirties player in the league (Finnegan).

Norman is a TOY GANGSTER who began to be intimidated himself as Beck kept fighting back and was not afraid as all bullies realize, when they becomes the hunted. The last disrespectful play by Norman was he last straw. Beck had to BLAST him. Norman is still crying about it. He never expected that.

Sometimes games and life meet, This was a matter of respect. Carolina's antics were because the Giants could have beaten them. They brought the game down to that level. from the beginning along with NO CALLS by the refs it was not football anymore so it came down to personal respect.
I'm sorry I clicked the lonk.

How dumb. As if Norman should be credited for getting beat deep and Odell dropping the ball.

He was abused. Beckham would have put up over 150 and 2 TDs on him if he didn't drop that ball. And again, Norman deserves no credit for Beckham dropping a ball.
Odell  
PaulBlakeTSU : 2/2/2016 1:54 pm : link
not putting up triple digits and multiple touchdowns had nothing to do with Norman and everything to do with Odell dropping an easy touchdown and the Panthers defensive line getting to Eli very quickly. Beckham torched and beat Norman several times. It's all there on tape. That it didn't result in production doesn't change that.

You can say that it doesn't matter without the results, and I would be in agreement. But in terms of Norman's job responsibility in so far as covering Beckham-- he got beat on several occasions and was bailed out.

that Norman and Finnegan both shut Beckham down pretty well during the first 3+ quarters. If OBJ makes the catch in the first quarter and doesn't get roped into the bullshit it's a different game and a completely different matchup.

Yes, how dumb is it to claim a guy was toasted ALL GAME because he allowed Beckham to run past him one time. That's your definition of toasted all game?

How many catches did he have on Norman? Was it 2? In a game where the QB dropped back 50+ times he caught 2 passes on the guy.

Beckham didn't toast anybody in this game except his own teammates.

It was more than 1 time. Beckham easily could have had 3 TDs against him under different circumstances. If you give up 2 TDs, you got burned. Give up 3, and you got your ass handed to you. and thats what happened but unfortunately Beckham dropped one, and Eli didnt have ennough time on the other throw.

KWALL2 : 2/2/2016 4:58 pm : link
So you want to count the one he actually scored and 2 that didn't happen. That adds up to toasting the CB all day? Got it.

Or we can deal with what really happened.

He had 0 catches, several drops, several penalties for the first 3 qtrs while his team fell behind by 4 TDs.

He finished the game with 2 catches for about 20 yards on the guy. That's it. That isn't toasting anybody.

well he was open for the majority of the game. I guess it was josh Norman ESP telling beckham to drop the ball or for his dline to get pressure to prevent beckham from getting the ball.

there was not a single thing Norman did in that game that stopped beckham. and don't give me the mind games because beckham dropped an easy td before all the shenanigans.

I will not argue that beckham stunk, he did. but it wasn't because of josh Normans defense. beckham was open all game.

Big TC fan here...But a bat on the field pre-game and then him unaware of what was going on with OBJ (supposedly)? That didn't help his cause when the owners came together, IMO.

made worse by the fact that the Giants lost. Odell dropping that bomb where he toasted Norman was really what pushed him over the edge. Norman and the Panthers played their psyche out shit and Norman was the point man. Odell flipped out and went over the line, and Norman now acts like he's a victim of a crazy men. Whatever Norman. This guy got into a fight with his own QB in training camp. Him and the practice squad guy with the baseball bat are the main reason I hate the Panthers.

is a "Homer" like me. I'm not sure why you keep capitalizing the word, though. Yet, interestingly enough, your apparent inability to see what happened in the game suggests that the name "Homer" suits you even better than me.
6 catches for 74 yards

and 1 TD (IIRC) is not torching anybody. Just stop it. Norman was in Beckham's head and took him out of the game.

beckham was open all game. so are you saying not covering a guy is a good job?

again, you have to differentiate between obj getting open and obj not playing well. obj got open. and he got open a lot.
Unfortunately for your argument dep

Playing well isn't about just getting open.

It's also about catching easy TDs and not committing three selfish personal foul penalties leading to suspension and embarrassment.

see that's the thjng. I didn't think he played well. but I can say he was getting open. despite all the nonsense, the two linked pages showed him getting open constantly against norman.

it was unfortunate beckham had a meltdown. he could have had a massive day against a top corner. but his drop followed by his antics prohibited that. but I will stand that he got open constantly against norman. Norman had a really, really bad day covering.

In the linked article it says he didn't cover him in man often. He mentioned 3 plays including a 10 yard out. 3 plays! That ain't toasting a guy all day. He QB dropped back 50 times, if he was toasting anybody all day where was he on the other 47+ plays?

I'm not a fan of Norman and have stated here j think he's severely overrated. My issue is somebody claiming Backham toasted him ALL GAME. It didn't happen. He had more drops and penalties than catches. He played like shit and hurt his team in several ways.

Beckham's behavior was unacceptable and indefensible

Hopefully he grows up and stops making himself a target with the jawing and the lame, idiotic endzone dances.

I did not praise Norman. I have an issue with the toasting all game comment. Then it was mentioned Norman didn't do anything. My response here:

KWALL2 : 5:12 pm : link : reply
plays where Norman popped him at the line and Beckham struggled with it.

I don't think anybody can consistently cover Beckham. But to actually write that Beckham toasted Norman all game in this one is nothing but a Homer take on it.


My comment about Norman is backed up in article about Normans play at the LOS.

Quote:
Norman's superior physicality neutralized Beckham near the line of scrimmage


In other words, he wasn't toasting him on these plays.

The article mentions he didn't really cover Beckham in man, right? Mentions 3 plays and 2 of them were dropped by Beckham. Those 3 plays and 2 drops add up to a toasting all day for you and Cosell? That's great. We have a different definition of how that term is used in a football game.
Lot f time spent on the trivial

About how well Beckham may or may not have played when it's better spent on the point of the thread...which is how big a thuggish homophobic douche bag Josh Norman is.

He used the same playbook that Finnegan did on Andre Johnson a couple years ago, one that got Johnson so pissed off he beat the shit out of Finnegan on the field. If you're going to slap, grab, push and otherwise mug the guy (after the bullshit stunt with the bat), don't be surprised when he flips out. OBJ deserved the suspension because we still expect self-control, but Norman should have been severely disciplined as well.


Clete Blakeman was the referee in that game; same guy reffing this year's Super Bowl. Interesting nugget.

Unfortunately for your argument, doing a good job as a DB isn't about getting beat and hoping your guy drops the ball.
I can't stand Norman.  
AnishPatel : 2/3/2016 5:53 am : link
His own QB called him a piss ant when Norman and Newton fought during training camp. How many damn players get into a fight with their franchise QBs like he did?

lol. ok. your right. beckham was covered all game and never had an opportunity to make plays. both these sites and myself must have seen something else.

your continuation of mentioning drops and penalties by beckham means little in regards to how norman covered him. Normans job was to cover beckham and the fact was throughout the gsme, he didnt.

You guys are missing the point even as you bring up several relevant points which are correct. Beckham did not own anyone against Carolina.

Did Beckham beat Norman on occasion in the game? Yes.

Did Norman show good coverage skills? He does not have great coverage skills so no. He was good at dirty crap in that game.

Did he accomplish his mission of getting Beckham unfocused? Yes.

Did Beckham dominate him? Clearly not.

Did both players act like idiots? Yes

Is Norman's continued bitching even more hypocritical and idiotic? Yes.

All are true at the same time. They are not mutually exclusive points.
We all can agree  
dep026 : 2/3/2016 8:40 am : link
that the only thing well Norman did to OBJ was get inside his head.

But like I said, as far as covering OBJ - he failed miserably. When matched up, OBJ was thrown at 7 times for 4 catches including a TD. There were 2 drops. And one pass underthrown. So those were the times when he was thrown at. If all 7 of those are completed, his stat line is 7 catches for 130 yards (at least) and 3 TDs. His PFF grade was a -5.9 (not that PFF is the all to be end all).

OBJ stunk because he was a mental midget that game. Not because Norman shut him down.
Clearly...  
Strip-Sack : 2/3/2016 9:10 am : link
Norman can't cover OBJ one on one based on that game...whether one refers to that at as "toasting" or "dominating" is a matter of opinion and semantics. What's also clear is that Norman and his thug buddies used "other" tactics to level the playing field and it worked given OBJ's tendencies...they probably learned that from Buffalo and St. Louis. The fact that Norman is still whining says it all in bold print as far as I'm concerned. The ref's should take most of the blame followed by OBJ and Norman in equal measure. Some on here look at OBJ's behavior and that's all there is to it...other's take Norman's action more into account and hold him and his teams ridiculous tactics equally to blame. I'm in the latter category and am rooting very, very hard for the Broncos for this reason.
Norman did not intimidate a WR and all NFL DB's know it  
tempit : 2/5/2016 4:02 am : link
he can't hold his head up when he talks to other DB's.

Beckham took to him and he will never be allowed to forget it.

Inside the NFL, players don't look at what happen the way those outside the NFL and the NFL Office --- so people can bring up that Beckham crossed the line but that does not carry any weight inside the NFL.
