It's over with... but another OBJ thread

est1986 : 9/29/2016 8:15 pm
From his presser today.

Quote:

Q: On that drive against Washington where you had the 19-yarder and 24-yarder, were you starting to get the feel of taking over a game again?

A: Yes. It’s just unfortunate that it was as late as it was. You wait all game and then it finally comes around at the end. It makes it a lot more difficult. It’s like you’re playing catchup instead of being on top of it from the start. I felt like we could’ve done that all game. From the very beginning of the game, even with the coverages that they were playing. I felt like we could’ve took advantage of that but we didn’t. We just keep it moving from here. Like I said, we’re going against one of the top defenses in the league and we have to come out and play our best.


So can we stop with the "Eli just making his reads" bullshit? It doesn't take Bill Belichick to know you find ways to get him the ball by any means if you want to win games. Odell says it himself "From the very beginning of the game, even with the coverages that they were playing. I felt like we could’ve took advantage of that but we didn't"

Plus I'm beginning to feel a little tension rising between star WR and rookie HC

Quote:


Q: Ben McAdoo said you have to do a better job controlling your emotions. Is that something that you have to do?

A: No. I’m in a great place right now mentally, physically and spiritually. There’s not really much that bothers me at all, to be honest. I’m going to go out and play football the only way I know how to play. Try my best to be the best teammate that I possibly can be. At the end of the day you play for the guys who are wearing the jersey. They’re the ones that take the field for you. They’re the ones who you shed blood, sweat and tears with. I’m just going to go out and be who I am.

Q: Is there any concern that you could be a distraction? That’s what he said.

A: He said, she said. I’m not really concerned about anything except the Minnesota Vikings.


TC would have never thrown Odell under the bus, he would have stood up him. TC after the Panthers game last year:
Quote:


"There are qualities that Odell Beckham, this young man, brings to this football team to the likes of which I've never seen," Coughlin said. "He has great energy, great enthusiasm, great effort. He does it literally every day that he walks out on the field. He's an emotional young man. He wears his emotions on his sleeve.

"I will never ... I will not defend his actions yesterday because they were wrong and this particular franchise and organization does not tolerate that. So I will not do that. I will defend the young man and the quality of the person I will defend him as long as I'm able."


Get him the ball Eli! Get him the ball McAdoo!

Well it is clear from his comments...  
EricJ : 9/29/2016 8:21 pm : link
that he was not happy with the game plan in the first half. Now I am thinking that his freak out session on the sideline was all about the ball going to Tye in that big spot.
I don't care for either side more or less  
adamg : 9/29/2016 8:22 pm : link
But Odell dropped a couple of TDs so far. He can be mad at the strategy/coaching all he wants. Make those catches and he's sitting really pretty without the bloody tampon hanging out of his gym shorts.

Let's just win first though. I'd like to see one of those wins where the other team is left reeling. That would make my week a lot better.
More targets to the best talent in the game  
est1986 : 9/29/2016 8:28 pm : link

That is a direct shot at McAdoo's playcalling  
Vanzetti : 9/29/2016 8:31 pm : link
And while I don't agree with calling out the coach, I do believe BM has to do more to get the ball downfield and into the hands of his WR corps, which has the potential to be one of the best trios in NFL history.
This whole Odell is a distraction thing  
est1986 : 9/29/2016 8:33 pm : link
Is bullshit IMO. Do we want more ,"I don't give a damn" attitudes / Reuben Randle's on the side line over a guy who plays with his emotion like Odell does? Stop making excuses for Eli and McAdoo, get Beckham jr the ball period.

I agree with you. Making it even worse for him IMO, was it happened on a 1st down play and he never got an opportunity during that series.

Somehow I think if they went his way on 1st and or 2nd down and then the play to Tye happened on 3rd down, I don't think he reacts the same way. I really think never getting a chance that series pissed him off big time, and I don't really blame him for being pissed.

He was beating Norman like a drum. Cruz & Shep were winning their battles too. Skins lose 2 starters from their secondary and Mac doesn't even test their replacements. Giants got to 14 points and Mac started playing against the time on the game clock instead of the opponent. It was a chickenshit approach, that started early and let the Skins stay in the game.
I for one was very disappointed with McAdoo's response.  
robbieballs2003 : 9/29/2016 8:55 pm : link
Nothing positive is going to come from that. Once you admit that then all it does is fan the flames which is one reason why we have to keep reading and hearing about. Hence McAdoo's comments are more of a distraction right now.

I don't see an issue with Beckham having an outburst on the sideline. They have to stop trying to neuter him. I am not talking about him against Carolina. That is obviously over the line. I am talking about not getting any penalties and giving it his all out there. The reason people hate him is also the reason people love him. It is that competitive drive, that passion, that desire to be the best, the hatred of losing.
We can blame the coach, but the QB controls where  
RDJR : 9/29/2016 8:56 pm : link
the ball goes. Eli has always liked to spread it around. Usually it is effective, however, he needs to feed 13 as much as he can. At the very least forget the TE and RB and throw to the WRs.

Ummm, Montana threw the ball to a lot of guys. We have won SBs by throwing to Tyree for TDs in the super bowl. Bear Pascoe in the NFC Championship game. Hell Henry Hynoski had some big catches in the playoffs.

I really didn't get it at all either. I really don't enjoy Mac as a play caller. I think sometimes he's more focused on being balanced rather than just continuously attack the other teams weakness.

If something is working, just stick with it! They really needed to do a better job taking advantage of that decimated secondary, Oh well.

OBJ is lethal with the ball in his hands. He can eat up yards and absolutely disrupt game plans. There is every reason in the world to find ways to get him the ball early.

I wish we would get him going with reverses, screens, bubbles more early.

mdc1 : 9/29/2016 9:25 pm : link
not surprising (LSU). He needs to grow up and figure this out quickly. Quite frankly the world is full of really talented people that do not play well with others, eventually people stop looking at the peacock and their feathers.

He really only has to do a few more things beyond what he is doing, shut up, be humble, and go about his business. He chooses not to do those things, there are consequences and we see them in the form his on field antics, suspensions, and warnings about suspensions. He co enables our linemen to keep him in line and then they get ejected.

He keeps dropping footballs and Eli will give his throws to Sheppard and Cruz. They seem focused and fly in formation.

His character is poor. That won't ever change, and the Giants will never win with him. Ever. We would be better off letting this simmer down and trade him for a stockpile of draft picks. That would allow us to eventually draft Eli's successor. Again, we will NEVER win with Beckham. Things will only get worse with a mental case such as himself on the team. Just watch.

Go Terps : 9/29/2016 9:38 pm : link
Beckham had the best first two statistical years to start his career, I believe, of any wide receiver in history.

It doesn't mean shit if you go 6-10 each of those years. The Giants' coaches and quarterback I'm sure are trying to find the best combination of offense/defense/special teams that results in winning football games. The Giants had a 21-9 lead in this game with minimal contributions from Beckham; the game was lost from that point forward due to turnovers and penalties despite Beckham being more heavily involved at that point.

Win games. Beckham should shut up and do what he's told, because though he might have a ton of stats to his name since he's come into the NFL he hasn't shown shit when it comes to actually winning games.

There is one mantra that will lead to success and it's been demonstrated in New England for over a decade:

Shut up and do your fucking job.

Minimal contributions, maybe. But let's not act like he's not drawing the attention of the defense away from the other targets.

you dont have to get the ball to contribute. We were moving the ball just fine without forcing it to him.
beckham could have zero catches  
nygiants16 : 9/29/2016 9:47 pm : link
and he is contributing..

he was getting doubled and triple teamed and still being covered by their best corner...

anyone who can honestly say that the losing seasons are on beckham last year or his stats mean nothing because the giants havnt won just have an agenda...without beckham they probably have back to back 2 win seasons...


does he need to control his emotions? absolutely but he doesnt get into the face of his teammates or coaches, he has no off the field issues...

yet people want to trade him, absolutely ridiculous..

and people need to stop acting like the giants are so above this stuff that it is embarrasing the organization, their greatest player ever is a rapist and druggie..

Exactly. If winning the game means he is a decoy all game, great. If it means throwing it to him 20 times, great.

Either way, do your job. No one gives a shit about history's lamest rivalry between Odell Beckham and Josh Norman.
Spreading the ball around over the course of the game is fine.  
arcarsenal : 9/29/2016 9:48 pm : link
When the game is on the line and Beckham is playing like a man possessed, making 1 handed left hand catches, eluding 5 defenders at a time and getting open on every down, I want to see us keep throwing the ball his way. Will Tye isn't a bad guy or a bad player but he's not the guy I want to see the ball being thrown to in a big spot.

I understand coverages dictate where you throw the ball sometimes, I realize there are hot reads and teams blitz and you go to your hot receiver.. I just think there are points in games where you need to make sure Beckham is your first read. If he's not open, you can look elsewhere but the way he was going on Sunday, you bet your ass he was going to be open.
The 6-10 seasons had everything to do with horrendous defense..

I just had to chime in, because this now becomes another narrative for Go Terps to latch on ("you will never win with this guy"). To me, OBJ lost his cool, because we let a golden opportunity to bury a division rival. He wears his emotions on his sleeves, that doesn't necessarily mean he's a me-first guy. He goes out of his way to call SS the "OROY", and Cruz "Comeback Player of the Year."

Oh I am nit saying that, even though I am tough on him. I think a lot of other people are missing the point.

We moved the ball at will the last two weeks, but whether it was turnovers, penalties, drops, or whatever we faield in the red zone. Now if we are talking about getting him the ball in the red zone, giddy up. But we have had open guys in position to make plays, and they havent.

I'm the guy that spent all offseason bitching about giving Vernon money because we were a Beckham sprained ankle from being 1-4. I don't need to be reminded of how good he is.

My point isn't about how good a receiver he is, it's about the coaches trying to put together the best possible game plan to win games. If that involves throwing it to Beckham a lot, great. But if it involves him getting the ball less than he's used to, then he needs to be OK with that.

Either way, do your job and turn off the waterworks. No one gives a shit about your feelings.

BlueGuy : 9/30/2016 2:08 am : link
..that he flat out dropped because all he wanted to do was torch Norman. He catches that ball and, at worst, they are 3rd and 1 with momentum.

It's called situational awareness. He had you chance to just catch the ball and he dropped it. Dropped the opening drive bomb from Eli against Carolina which could have been a tone setter. Dropped a sure TD against NO.

And he's bitchin' about his opportunities? Fuck outta here, crybaby ass N#$%@. Foh real.

And game planning. It might make prefect X. And O sense to throw to others who benefit from the coverage Beckham gets.

That's funny comparing him to Rice, you never saw Rice acting like an a-hole on the sidelines or costing his team with stupid penalties!

Oh, I see, you can't have passion for the game unless you act like a complete ass immature jerk. Gotcha.

So I guess Eli doesn't care, nor DRC, nor anyone else not behaving like a mentally ill 9 yr old having a temper tantrum. Right

about the way the Bengals used AJ Green, but they DIDN'T throw it to him at will. This place would be going nuts if we threw it to OBJ to get down the field and then had to settle for a bunch of FG's, which is exactly what Cincy did last night.

No other WR has stepped up on that team.

What happens is when team's know the ball is going to one guy in the red zone, they stop it, either through the coverage or breaking up the pass.

I fall somewhere in the middle. Its kind of frustrating to see us not go to Odell for long stretches, but from a tactical standpoint I get that you need to keep defenses honest. That said, I can't figure out why he's not lining up everywhere; out wide, the slot, even the backfield. We really need, IMO, to start mixing up our play book a bit. I believe McAdoo knows how to do it, but there's something holding him back from it (and maybe there's a good reason).

When hes broken every WR record for a player with only 2 years experience there is no one else to compare him to but the man with all the records. And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see OBJ is in an elite class of WR. The point was that they knew Rice was getting the ball that didn't make it any easier to stop. Yes Montana spread it around but he got his guy involved every game, and kept him involved.

Announced early in the game week that Norman would shadow Odell. The Skins wanted a Norman vs Beckham game and the Giants were afraid of that, when they should have took advantage of that. Odell would have wiped Norman all over the field all day long like he started to do in the 4th quarter once they began looking his way. Let's call Odell a distraction because he shows passion on the sideline. Would you rather a guy shrug off an interception like Reuben Randle or cry, actually cry, after an interception like Odell? Not like he's arguing with teammates or coaches..

We didn't score enough. Those numbers are misleading. We were up 14-3 and we lost everyhing, all momentum. Not because of TO's because those didn't hurt us until the second half. We played scared and Odell became lost in our offense. The Skins played fearless and we played scared. Re watch the play calls after we went up 14-3.

We were up 21-16 just before the half,the Redskins shit the bed at the goal line just before the end of half. After a 14-3 start. And after 21 in one half what happened in the second? Don't give me the turnover crap. Because Eli forced one to Tye. And the final one came in the final drive. Beckham became a non factor and don't give me that Redskins tripled teamed him crap.

The penalties blew big plays and field position .
I was lambasted in the game thread about the play calling .
It was like we went into the fetal position to protect
the lead run on 1st and 2nd down for little to no gain
and punt . I am still waiting for this offense to run a
play that actually fools the other team . When we run the
ball especially when Eli checks out of a play the
opposition seems to know exactly where we are running it to .
Where are the new wrinkles ? It looks like the same plays
we ran in pre-season that were unsuccessful especially
in the run game ..
How many slants did we run or screen passes or quick outs ?
I'm probably way off base here but i expected to see
some different looks and play designs is it possible
that after two years of success that teams have figured
our offense out ?

UConn4523 : 9/30/2016 10:48 am : link
is critiqued a ton around here, and certainly is nationally among non-Giants fans. He's one of the most critiqued players in sports, in fact.
Eli has always spread it around  
rocco8112 : 9/30/2016 11:14 am : link
to me that is a sign of good QB play. If he forces it to one guy consistently, no matter how great that player is, he will be criticized for that.

Eli tried to fire one between two players to OBJ early in this past contest. I think the pass went off Norman's hands and was almost picked.

If Beckham wins his match up and is open, Eli will put it on him, that is what he does. If he is bracketed then someone else will (hopefully) be open since Beckham has tilted the field his way. This is called team sports, which football might be the ultimate example of.

On the Tye pick (which was a one handed INT catch, awesome play) we learned from post game interviews that Tye was the hot read. When the pressure came Eli could have ate it, or put it up to Tye. I have read multiple times that Beckham was open etc., but Eli can not just throw it up to him under duress if that is not what is designed.

I hope Beckham, who to me seems a bit crazy but he obviously brings it on the field, was not upset because the ball was going elsewhere. He will be getting plenty of chances this season and already has. He should be more pissed about the case of the dropsies he has had so far. Eli and Cruz bailed him out week 2 or this team might be 1 - 2.By the way, the big play to Cruz was a one on one where Cruz one the battle, that is how you make a great play. Tye and Rainey lost theirs this past week.

aren't "concerned" - which they're not - I have no reason to be concerned. He acted a bit like a child with the antics but that's who he is right now. He didn't cost them any penalty yards because of his behavior (the pick play was just poorly executed) and he was playing well in the 4th Q when he got the rock.

If anyone should be upset at a player it's Richburg and his stupid shot on that bucktoothed mental patient Norman leading to his ejection and replacement.
This thread is a microcosm  
hassan : 9/30/2016 12:07 pm : link
Of how bbi has gone bad. With extreme views and barbs and insults the norm.

There are two separate issues here: Odell's sideline antics and the 'targets' issue. And even within each of those topics there are multiple discussion points.

I think it safe to say Odell should not be throwing tantrums on the sideline. He can play with heart and passion without losing his composure.

And Go Terps is right. Whether he gets one or twenty touches he should not behave ridiculously.

However, suggesting this is poison or we can't win with this player, which some have done here....well that's ludicrous.

NOW, the issue of targets is a separate issue altogether. It is perfectly reasonable to point out Odell was not targeted often and the Giants put up 21 points. It's also reasonable to point out how much yardage the Giants put up.

BUT, it's also reasonable to point out watching the game, the Giants had a rut for about a good twenty minute stretch where Washington adjusted to the horizontal offense the Giants were playing and the offense stalled out.

AND in spite of the yardage this offense is not putting points on the board. Avg 20 points per game is disappointing thus far.

Odell and Cruz imo should have each received more targets during that stretch where the o stalled out. Cruz should have been more involved period. To me that's the bigger crime.

The other advantage of Odell touching the ball more-guy scores a lot. The Giants need not force him the ball-which many posters are suggesting they would have to do, utter nonsense he was open most of the game and the beauty of the three receiver set is no one can get more than a corner and safety.

BUT, It's possible Odell should have received more looks and still behaved poorly and a bit of a jerk.

You get the sense here Odell was right to get more touches and would be justified in hitting Eli with a chair. And the other side, that views more targets for him as madden ball and that he is a cancer like Terrel Owens.

Said HC and QB are using OBJ to scapegoat a lot of bad decisions that happened on Sunday. Namely deciding to throw the ball in the red zone to guys not named Beckham, Shepard and Cruz when a starting CB and Safety on the opposing team aren't in the game anymore. The guys who replaced them are a recently converted WR and a 3 string player.

Yeah, nyg could have had a Tampa 2012 like game Sunday. That secondary was weak.

So Eli shouldnt throw to open receivers if they arent Cruz, Shephard, or Beckham.

BBI is getting worse..... theres no doubt about it.

Even the Redskins said they were surprised they weren't more exploited.
Remember when Eli tried to force the ball to OBJ near the goal-line..  
BurberryManning : 9/30/2016 12:33 pm : link
only for Norman to undercut the route and drop an easy INT? The next play resulted in a touchdown pass to SS.

Forcing the ball to a player is not a great strategy when the opposition can quickly adjust.

Anyone suggesting backs and te should not be involved is being silly. But not wrong to question why we didn't go after Washington secondary more once depleted.

How many red zone targets did Beckham Cruz and Shepard get? Just curious.....

The problem is not people's particular opinions. It's the fact people take hard line stances and will not try to understand the other perspective but will bash the other side........to the point of being offended.

8 passes

4 to OBJ
1 SS
1 to rainey
1 to Tye
1 to Vereen.
Yes

Certainly a fair distribution.

Definitely execution played a bigger culprit that distribution, even though I still feel nyg missed an opp to torch Washington d even more.

And generally I hate the questioning of a specific decision or play.

Last year (and in prior injury riddled seasons), I opined that the 4 last play losses could have EASILY been wins for a 10-6 record despite one of the worst Ds ever..I was told ad nauseum that "you are what your record says you are."

So if I ascribe to that, then we're 2-1 unless the rules of record contention has changed..😎

It's a valid point, but with the infusion of talent it's hard to compare that to last year. IMO it just seems as if these games are being played too close to the vest at times that results in them being closer then they should. When you do that you end up at times losing to a team your beating by 12 points halfway through the game
Now you got Tiki running his mouth about it

Barber criticized Beckham for his emotional outbursts, including the one caught on camera during the Giants' loss to the Redskins on Sunday. That outburst -- where he slammed his helmet into the kicking net and then may or may not have been crying afterwards -- sparked head coach Ben McAdoo to say his star receiver "needs to control his emotions better and be less of a distraction."


Just asinine that this was brought to the media by our HC

Would like to see the Giants  
eclipz928 : 9/30/2016 1:56 pm : link
start some of their games letting the ball fly a little more. I always thought the old style of establishing the run early was a Coughlin trademark, but it looks like McAdoo has carried over that tradition. Might benefit Eli, and the receivers to try and get into a groove earlier in games.

It just feels like such a long time since the Giants have set a tone for a game and leveraged a large lead going into the 3rd and 4th quarters.
Eli Manning is 7th in passing yards per game  
hassan : 9/30/2016 2:03 pm : link
and Odell is 9th per game in yards received.

Its only three games so its early. But with this team, if both in not in the top three by end of year we left yards on the field.

And Odell is capable of being a runaway #1 in ypg. If he ends up 9th, unless Shepard and Cruz are both in the top 15 its a criminal underuse.

Or that 6 & half foot Tight End who managed to do it 3 times in a single game last season against the same opponent...but fade route to Rainey instead.

What do you mean brought to the media by the HC? Are you trying to say that no one asked or discussed Beckham for 8 hours a day the last week and the coach called them over to say his WR is this and that?

I think the person is saying that it served no purpose for McAdoo to make those public comments regardless of how he felt about the issue. Address the player(s) in private instead of contributing to a situation that becomes a DISTRACTION when media chicken littles start running to all the players for responses. As annoying as he can be, there's a method to Bill Belichick's madness of saying nothing to the media. McAdoo will hopefully learn that too.

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa???? What the hell is going on here...is everyone losing their marbles?

Did anyone just hear Banks on talking to Evan Roberts? He made the point that needed to be explained to people. ROberts is pressing and pressing on Beckham and changinf his personality and Banks just basically said "this is all some bullshit you guys are making up and now demand answwrs to their own agenda. He said the media just wants to tear the guy down and he's not the guy you want to do that to.

Why do the kid's own fans and media want to tear him down every damn week? All he does is rack up catches and yards and wants to win as much as his QB

He shouldn't be throwing tirades on the bench. But it's a minor issue and cannot believe how much is being made of it here.

Are you just being silly with this, or do you actually not know?

“He needs to control his emotions better and become less of a distraction to himself and to his teammates,” Giants coach Ben McAdoo said of Beckham on Monday in a conference call. “It’s our job to help him with that process and maturing.”

That is putting it out there to the general public. Who gives a shit if the media is talking about it, you don't feed them more fodder by doing this. Why is that hard to understand?

He should have said nothing about it. Poor move. He gains nothing from it that couldn't have been done behind closed doors. Same with Eli.

It's not a huge deal but it's unneccesary to make this bigger than the minor issue it was.

This should have been kept in the clubhouse. For the life of me what rationale is there for McAdoo to make this a public issue regarding OBJ? What did he hope this would accomplish, that public shaming would make a difference? The very first team personal issue and he goes public with it? WTF is he thinking

I agree. I think it was a rookie HC mistake. I don't expect anything like it to happen again.
