NYG Postgame (vs. Redskins) Transcripts: WR Odell Beckham Jr. -- October 28, 2018
Q: Is it hard for you to process that this offense can’t score?
A: I don’t have an answer for that. It doesn’t make sense. I feel like we should be doing better and we’re not. This is where we’re at. When we get down in the red zone, we have to score.
Q: What can you guys change at this point?
A: Just keep working, that’s all you can do. Score in the red zone, there is a lot of things we can do, we just have to go out and do it.
Q: You guys aren’t converting on third down, is it a different reason or the same reason?
A: I don’t know how to answer that. I just know we aren’t converting them. We aren’t getting third downs when we need them, we aren’t getting the plays that we need, the ball isn’t bouncing that way. It just seems to be that way.
Q: You think the team loses some of its morale when you trade away players during the week?
A: I have no idea. Like I said, that’s part of the business. Everybody has to step up, business is business.
Q: Would you rather be playing next week to try to get this right or does the break come at the right time?
A: I think the break comes at the right time. We get a chance to step away. For a guy like myself, I personally sacrificed a lot, especially this year, putting previous habits or whatever things you used to do (in the past). I tried to put my all into this season and it’s not going the way that we want, but this break couldn’t come at a better time. I get to step back, get my body right, get my mind right and come back the last eight games and do whatever it is we can do.
Q: There was a report this morning that teams have been calling to ask about your availability, how do you react to the idea that your name has been brought up?
A: It was tossed around in the offseason, I don’t think I am going anywhere. All I want to do is be the very best that I can be when I’m on the field, off the field as well. It’s really hard to think about that, but it is what it is.
Q: Is this where you want to be?
A: (Nods head yes) this is where I’m at.
Q: Now that you have played all the teams within the division, what rematch are you looking forward to the most?
A: All of them. This is a great division, this is a great rivalry. I look forward to playing all those teams; Dallas, Philly, the Redskins. Most importantly, we have a bye week now, we have some time to come back 100 percent.
Q: You have been around Eli for a while. He was sacked 7 times today, are you sensing any change in him as far as frustration?
A: No, he has been doing this for years. He has it figured it out to an extent, we just have to be better.
Q: What’s your level of frustration, you guys came into the season with high hopes and now you are 1-7?
A: I don’t know the level. You might have to ask a couple other people. It’s definitely not where I want it to be, it’s definitely not what I envisioned this team being. It’s definitely not why I worked the hardest I could have worked all off season to come back and give my very best. I just don’t feel like on Sundays I get do that. If there is any frustration, that’s where the frustration comes in. All I want to do is come in and do whatever I can to help this team win. I know I have more in me, I’m ready to do that.
