And that's why they're trying to get in his head.
Can't say there is no truth to this and glad Beckhams teammates and coaches are publicly defending him.

OC Mike Sullivan says defenders try to get in Odell's head because they are afraid of him. |

Giants OC Mike Sullivan going off on DBs playing mind games with Beckham. "They're not confident enough in their abilities, not courageous." |
These DB's can't say anything if he just puts his head down and beats them like a drum. He's more than capable. Just channel that passion and aggression the right way and everything will change.
Let Beckham torch these guys on the very first possession, and he'll have the upper hand the rest of the game.
Sully is HOT on this topic. Clearly irked by the extra curriculars.

Exactly. They could do a little more to get the ball in his hands early. Not saying they should make Odell's feelings factor into every gameplan but he's by far the most dangerous player on the team. Let him work.
How well did the "Book of Norman" work in Week 3 when Beckham caught 7 passes for 122 yards.... against Josh Norman?

but the reason they do it is very simple. It helps their team and Beckham has proven unable to deal with it. It will only stop if/when OBJ stop reacting to it and continues to make plays on the field. I saw a quote earlier (forgot where) that called it "The Book of Norman." DB's know that it's easily to psychologically throw OBJ off his game and I'm sure they're going to be coached to do it until it stops working.

It could have been so much more too. Eli wasn't throwing to OBJ because that's not where the coverage dictated. He finally started giving the kid the ball late in the game and OBJ destroyed Norman at will. If Eli had the balls(no pun intended), he would have attacked Norman early and often.
OBJ seems to taking the advice seriously.
Odell Beckham says he has to control himself better, set a better example: "What I'm doing is not what I'd want a 6-year-old boy doing."

Yup. He was getting open at will against him even with safety help. We could (and should) have exploited that all day long. He could have had a day like Julio just did against the Panthers.
"They're afraid to match up against him one-on-one, mano a mano, if you will," Sullivan said. "If that's the approach, when you do your rankings, obviously the guy's not courageous enough or brave enough of man enough to go ahead and play it straight up."
Cornerbacks who are baiting Odell Beckham Jr. are afraid and not man enough to defend Giants WR: Mike Sullivan - ( New Window )
The whole team should...as part of their dang team responsibility...go after the cheap shot/out of bounds and after the play hit/officials not caring if he gets injured and their biased targeting only of him narrative...until it becomes a headline issue. That pushes Odell out of the being the "problem" to being the "victim".
That's what helps the protege and teammate.
+1
...and I said this last year even before the game vs Norman. I could see him jumping up and semi retaliating at virtually everything. He was getting distracted by the opposing player. Not only with what they did to him but also what they said.
It absolutely is working.
It does no good to make others afraid if you don't draw stupid penalties or torch them. In fact the opposite is happening.
Baseball bat aside, then you would never make it as a professional athlete. That talk is non-stop. The great ones know how to deal with it and channel it into motivation. Those who cannot comprehend what will happen if they "react to it" will end up with more problems and sub par performances.
They don't need to. Everything is filmed and they look at it. Not sure what this sentence means actually.

Scrubs become starters,average players become super stars.
Can you even give a few examples of this babbling nonsense?
Beckham is overrated? Are you fucking kidding me? He is either the top or in the top 3 for WR's first two seasons with TD's, receptions, yards, etc.
Like Randy Moss or Terrell Owens other GREAT players?
That's only way I can see when it comes to something as easy as looking up draft records.
and as far Terrell Owens,Moss,Dez Bryant. Yeah they may complain and whine like OBJ,but I never saw one of them spear a DB from the back.
how is the guy who has broken almost every rookie record for a wr not a great player?
if he is not a great player then why is he getting doubled and triple teamed?
