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!

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

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.

Idk truthfully but my eyes tell me he's more useful with the ball than he is as a fucking decoy. When you played the 49ers you knew the ball was going to Rice that didn't make it any easier to stop, those teams won alot of games.

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.
I think thats his point  
dep026 : 9/29/2016 9:44 pm : link
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. But OBJ brings so much energy to this team you wonder if taking what the defense gives is such good strategy. I mean it s not like it s limiting turn overs or resulting in a lot of points.

Idk truthfully but my eyes tell me he's more useful with the ball than he is as a fucking decoy. When you played the 49ers you knew the ball was going to Rice that didn't make it any easier to stop, those teams won alot of games.
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!
