Saw this earlier - he looks great. Sharp cuts, flying all over the field, making some tough catches. No one should have any concerns about him getting back to the level he was at before.
This dude busts his fucking ass. I don't care how much people hate him - no one can deny that.
It's April 10th - does it really matter if he's not working with Eli?
He's played with Eli for 3 full seasons worth of games now. I think the rapport is there. He's rehabbing and getting himself back up to 100%.
I swear, people will find any way to turn a positive about this dude into a negative. Every single time.
Just laugh at it buddy! That’s what I do. To get upset about it is a waste of energy. Just enjoy the fact that there is someone out there always ready to be ‘that guy’.
RE: I mean, he looks good and I’m glad hes working out. Â

LOL, yeah man - it's something else. There's always someone.
Just gotta laugh at it.
RE: I mean, he looks good and I’m glad hes working out. Â
He is working out in UCLA and doing everything he would otherwise do in Eli's camp, yet chooses not to work with Eli.
They work together plenty. It's not necessary for them to be joined at the hip.
He could cut your balls off and you'd find a way to say it's just Odell being Odell.
Wasn’t it Eli who told Odell not to come to the Duke work out because of his rehab?
To answer an earlier question, I don’t know when this video was taken. I don’t do the Snapchat/Instagram stuff. I just got an alert on my phone about him working out and didn’t see it posted and figured I’d share what I thought would be good news. But somehow it’s turned into a way to bash the guy. Everyone keeps demanding that he grow up some and he does that by showing up to voluntary camp. But that’s still not enough for some. All it takes is for a video to appear of him looking good while working out and you still have people ready to kill him for who he is or is not working out with. I just wonder if many of the same folks who have to criticize the man’s every move would feel if their lives were in that fishbowl? Give him a break.
I wasn’t planning doing a lot of typing about this thread because I just figured most would enjoy seeing visual evidence of OBJ looking good as he recovers. So I won’t be responding much for the rest of the night but will tomorrow.
Why was that clip such a good indicator of OBJ’s progress?
He was doing cone drills at about 75% capacity, he looked a bit heavy legged running routes, he was trying to execute a few one handed grabs, and looked anything but his normal smooth self.
It’s good to see him back on the field, but let’s not act like this was the “ah ha” moment of return.

LOL, do you guys expect him to just be 100%, full go right out of the gates? He hasn't been going full bore for that long. It's going to take time.
This is good progress. If he's at 75% right now, he has 5 more months to get the rest of the way there.
He broke his ankle - he didn't rupture his Achilles.
Progress is progress. I don't know why people expect a guy to be at full speed immediately when he had to stop running for several months.
Wait, you said he looked great, was making sharp cuts, and flying all over the field.
Was there another clip attached I missed? Honestly, I really didn’t see what you described.
I think he looks great given where he's at in his rehab process.
Just my opinion. He couldn't run for months - he was in a walking boot until December. I don't think it's realistic to expect him to be in game shape on April 10th.
This is enough for me to believe he will be 100% when it counts.
Better get some pads or weights on both top and bottom got to practice those high passes which are a requirement in Eli game. I know he looks great but don’t forget how he ended up hurt those ankles will need to be really tested can’t try to protect one because it’s been hurt before.
RE: RE: RE: So Odell chooses not to work with Eli Â
Beckham is making decent progress, working with his medical staff and trainers, then went ahead and showed up at the Giants facility, and what some of you take out of it is he's not playing catch with your hero?
There are like a hundred threads about actual stulid stuff he did. Can't you guys dry hump those instead?
RE: RE: I mean, he looks good and I’m glad hes working out. Â
I’d definitely rather hear about him working with Eli, learning this new offense. Maybe he will show up later though.
Please explain how he's supposed to work on the new offense when it was illegal to discuss the offense prior to yesterday.
Well now its legal, so get to work.
Quote:
Q: How important is it for Odell to be here?
A: I think it's important for the guys to be here, especially with a new offense, a new defense going in as well, a new coaching staff -- just to get familiar with everything going on. Right now you can kind of come in and coaches can take it slow a little bit and you're learning. You ask questions and you can kind of all learn it together, which is good. When guys start missing these meetings and these workouts on the field and stuff, you get behind and then you have to re-teach it, you've got to slow things down again for guys to catch up. Obviously I think it's an opportunity for us to start learning this offense, ask the right questions, make sure we have a good idea of what we're doing when we get out there to practice.
Like I said, maybe he’ll show up later. I’m not that concerned about it but yeah, I’d rather him be there. I’m not holding it against him.
He is working out in UCLA and doing everything he would otherwise do in Eli's camp, yet chooses not to work with Eli.
I don't get it either. I'm glad he's working out.
Eli’s camp probably involves a lot more football work and less rehab work. Have a feeling OBJ is doing more than work and less football work. It’s April, keep calm.

I wouldn't think twice about it if he hadn't skipped the camp last year as well... What was it? Oral surgery? Drake concert? Can't remember.
Either way, I don't understand why people are so testy that some fans wish Odell was working out with his QB. Seems perfectly reasonable to want that.

Incomprehensible rambling about Odell I am vehemently opposed to opposing him now. He irritated a murderer who roams free proselytizing so he wins in my book.

hate about OBJ. You hero worshipping, pajama wearing homers will never see it. Just focus on football, american football. Why do you need to kick soccer balls? Is that gonna help you not take 5 PF calls per game? Just show up on the other side of the country in duke, forget your rehab and catch a few footballs, it's way more important.

This got me wondering, if a team is still interested in the OBJ trade sweepstakes, this is a potentially interesting piece of evidence. You can draw several different conclusions - like we have...
I actually assumed the video was after his meeting on Monday. Â
As in, he came in - said hi to Gettlemand and Shurmur, and then went back to LA. If thats not the case and he's there, then cool. Really wasn't that big of a deal to me either way.

Same here. It's not a big deal whether he's here Â
or not in April. As a huge fan of Odells and someone who thinks he's part of the solution, not the problem though, this is a sign that the two sides are going to work things out and Odell will be signed soon.
Once again, I'll remind everyone. hitdog gave us some really good info a few weeks. If Odell shows up, proves he's rehabbing well and does the right things, a contract will follow.
To me, this is Odell doing those things, so hopefully the contract is coming.

b-dubs, I kinda think that ship has sailed at this point - it seems like he's doing the things the higher-ups wanted to see him do in order to stick around long-term.
I'm kinda going off the nuggets hitdog has given us regarding the situation - but it sounds like they wanted to see him show up to the facility, show that he's getting healthy, talk to some people there, and that things can take off from there in terms of him eventually getting an extension.
Of course, anything is still possible. We shall see.

It’s clear by how badly the timing is, it’s Eli. He never hits him in stride

I think he looks very good at this stage and I don't see any reason why he's not going to be 100% by August/September.

Some people bitch just for the sake of bitching
It is really too bad he ruined half of BBI's day by showing up for the voluntary OTAs....they'll have to find something else to complain about.

Eli told Beckham not to come
Rehab from a broken ankle should be #1, 2, and 3 on Beckham's to do list. Getting "reps" over getting healthy is preposterous.
Insert any player coming off of an injury that isn't 100%, its really not a groundbreaking concept.
Haha, that actually made me laugh.
LOL
That sarcastic Beckham humor! Never seen that before on any of these threads.
Huge points for originality.

I believe that this video is a few days old(at least) because he showed up at VOLUNTARY workouts to be with his teammates.
Predictable as all fuck.

I didn't even watch it.
And he's with his teammates. What's your point?
