..but all in all I can't complain with this summer. We're healthy enough.

Yeah - we're accustomed to players getting shot, in horrible car accidents and actually blown up if not suffering the run of the mill sports injuries.

Healthiest preseason I can maybe EVER remember for the G-Men.

Underrated part of the defense was his coverage last year.

Except when he was ACTUALLY injured?

Teams are obligated to (allegedly) report accurate health information. Questionable is 50/50. I'd rather him be around for the 19th or 20th game, then blow it all just to win in Week 1, despite the playoff implications.

is hes barely stepped on the field all preseason. They are used to playing without him. And you wanna attack the middle, you better know where #21 is.

On his show yesterday said his Giants source says: "Most likely Docs won let Beckham play"

he's too important to risk a setback. unless he's close to 100%, hold him back.

Dammit

sucks. So likely to see two tight ends, Ellison and Engram with Shepard and Marshall.

Dez Bryant on Odell Beckham: "I'm pretty sure he's going to play. He's the heart and soul of their team." #giants #cowboys

Plaxico missed several weeks of practice in 2007 but played every week. The important thing, will playing make anything worse.

Paul Dottino said Odell does not need to practice. He has been catching passes from Eli since HS while attending his passing camps.

Do you think that was a factor (familiarity) in drafting him?

Just spoke to Odell Beckham Jr, says he is feeling A LOT better. "I have a long evening of rehab. Then we'll see." @OBJ_3

Makes sense, thanks.

If it is felt that he could worsen the condition by playing, you keep him out. It's only 1 game, division or not. We oft times forget it's a MARATHON.

People keep saying that, but it's not. It's only 16 games. In contrast to other sports it's not a marathon.

this is some gamesmanship by Coach Mac.

I agree. I think Mac is irritated by the whole circus with EE and is countering by throwing a cloud over OBJ's availability.

Are you ready for some football!

I honestly believe we can win Sunday without him.
Crispino : 11:42 am : link : reply
Like everyone else, I'd rather see him out there, but if it poses an undue risk of a longer term injury, then hold him out. We have enough weapons to beat Dallas even if OBJ sits.

In times before OBJ a top WR could miss a game or a RB or whatever and we wouldn't ever fret that any single injury
would make or break a game other than Eli .
In the OBJ era Eli is the only guy you consider a game changer . We should be good enough to beat Dallas without
OBJ but we have yet to prove consistency with him .
Certainly don't have the confidence that we can with without him .
In know way is Mac gonna risk OBJ first game of the season regardless of importance .
The fact that they totally shut him down makes me wonder
if its bad enough that he can easily aggravate it .

Trust me

Lol.

Did Joey forget to switch accounts? Lol

...then there's no question about it.

He ain't playing Sunday.

He said based on the video it's definitely a high ankle sprain for Beckham, and he wouldn't play him.

Good point. The Giants have never had a player who missed practice and still played in the game.

cough, cough <plaxico> cough, cough...

...is the best possible news we could have had given how bad it looked when he went down!

Why play him against the Cowboys???

Let him heal up.

This isn't a must-win situation.

This game is much more important to Dallas than it is to the Giants. They're the ones trying to hold serve... not us.

Why push OBJ into the first game of the year?

Meaningless.

We need him for the rest of the season, preferably without a nagging ankle sprain.

Don't even dress him.

OBJ needs to grab some bench and enjoy the view... and see you in a week or two.

Wow..

that is more into sitting their players even when it's not necessary (not saying it might not be in this case, but in past cases, as well) than this fanbase. Amazing.

I think I'll wait for the Giants medical staff.. you know, the people who have actually examined him in person and not through a television set... to make the determination.

If it was a high ankle sprain, I'm not sure why he would have been walking around on the sideline without a boot on after it happened. It's pretty rare for someone to suffer that injury and immediately walk on it under their own power.

This is a 16 game season and it's a game of massive importance. It doesn't matter that it's Game 1. It's a game in Dallas against the team we're most likely going to need to edge out to win this division. If Beckham is cleared to play, he plays. That's it. You don't "save him for later"

In the NFL, there is no later.

If no, he ain't playing.

It's not a complex formula.

Hey genius. Today was a walk-through. Tomorrow is their big practice.

And guess what? Not even that determines if Bekcham plays. He's going out there on for pre-game warm-ups on Sunday night at 7PM before the game starts, and that's what will determine it.

So, it is a more 'complex formula' than you think.

Awful post, as usual.

Apparently you haven't listened to anything the coach has said about this because you're completely clueless.

This was the FIRST thing McAdoo addressed in his presser earlier.

"Thirteen (13) is in there getting treatment. Odell [Beckham] is getting treatment. We will see how he responds. He is going to do all of his work with the training staff today and we�ll see how he responds tomorrow. We have a chance for a launch day tomorrow."

If the people who said he definitely isn't playing are idiots, what about the people that said he definitely is (and there are many here)?

say he definitely will. Most of us are unsure.

And, of course, the Coach would never say anything contradictory or confusing to make it harder for the Cowboys to game plan the Giants. It would never enter into his mind.

Let's see - who should I listen to.. you... or Ben McAdoo?

I think I know who I'm choosing.

If Beckham feels good to go and is cleared before kickoff, he's playing. If he's not cleared, he's not. That's all there is to it. Whether or not he practiced today is completely irrelevant. If you've listened to anything the coach has said about this, you'd know that.

I've seen several people say he'll play. That's just as stupid as saying he won't.

Garafolo said the Giants are preparing as though he won't.

and makes a big play, he will drop to his knees in prayer. Then he will cry. Then he will tell the media in his post game press conference that he "was like out of my body........ like just out of my body". This dude is a modern day Elvis Presley, with a large part of the Giants fan base playing the part of the Memphis Mafia, laughing at every one of his stupid jokes, making him think he is normal. He ain't normal. He is fucked up. If the Giants sign him long term it will be a grave error.

I'm not sure someone with your beyond awful posting history here should be any sort of barometer as far as determining who is or isn't "normal."

I believe you posted we should trade Beckham not long ago. You were right. Stop being a moron. Beckham is fucked up. This team will NEVER win big with him. A nut like that always brings a team down.

That what you call your style of pleasuring yourself?

Wrong.

Never once did I suggest trading Beckham.

You really shouldn't be calling anyone else a moron.

Maybe he got arc'ed?

That would actually make perfect sense.
