Connor Barwin on Odell

Joey in VA : 3/12/2019 5:56 pm
I didn't see this posted, apologies if it's a duplicate but perusing Twitter I saw a blurb about Barwin discussing Odell with Colin Cowherd. He point blank said Odell was a great teammate and the best athlete he's ever seen in his decade in the NFL.

When Cowherd asked if the Giants trade him, Barwin sounded adamant that they wouldn't because he's simply too special of a player. In summary he said he thinks Shurmur finds more ways after having him and Saquon for a year that he'll figure out how to get more out of him. Barwin also said while with the Eagles they bracketed him in every single snap and he had never seen a team to do that anyone else, that's how good he thinks team see him. So from Barwin's view we aren't trading him because he thinks it's a reactionary move and we aren't in that mode.

this didn't make rounds on Twitter either, because it doesn't generate the clicks.

Yet another guy who has spent time in the same locker room who is praising him...

A lot of the guys here seem to know better, though.

We’ll get the rationale that Barwin wouldn’t trash a player while he’s looking for a job.

is the man. He has fun being a star but is humble and team orientated. Just listen to the guy talk. He loves the game and he loves his teammates. I feel that him and Saquon on the same offense in the NFL was simply meant to be. We got lucky and our GM, contrary to what some think here, is actually exceptionally smart in building his team according to talent and chemistry. We will be successful sooner than many think. And with Eli, IMO.

tired of the OBJ trade crap.

He's here. He's staying here. End of discussion.

Hah, yep. The likely angle.
I always laugh when idiot fans accuse Odell of being

a locker room cancer. His teammates obviously don’t think so.
Some time ago I posted OBJ's highlight reel from 2018  
BlueLou'sBack : 3/12/2019 6:50 pm : link
and I didn't add a lot of commentary I don't think because I wondered if others would see what was plain to me - the constant bracketing or what I call in layman's lingo 2x coverage. I mean every damn reception he's got 2-3 defenders surrounding him. Someone - maybe arcs or robbieballs or other did comment that it was as if OBJ was receiving the ball "in a cage of defenders" on every reception.

Now with a 2nd legit superstar in SB (a 2nd threat whose every touch is a potential "home run" TD), really this O should be WIDE open for Engram and Sheppard. This coming year Sheppard should make a LOT of money for himself from 2020 on.

As for the team mate stuff and work ethic - particularly the work ethic - similar stuff about him has been posted before. Maybe even this quote exactly, but it's nice to see a reminder. He's not a team cancer.
Not for nothing but did it ever matter how the defensive backs

for the Eagles covered Odell? Their line always kicked the Giants asses.
OBJ  
stretch234 : 3/12/2019 7:14 pm : link
Won't make rounds because it fits no ones narrative. There has never been 1 instant of this guy not giving everything for the team and never a bad word on the field with regards to effort. Was he irrational with Norman - absolutely, but the guy wants to win and his teammates all speak highly of him. He also happens to be a great player.

Despite what some think, he is a smart guy who gets it. I love having him on the team
Connor Barwin still doesn’t get itom

OBJ is a massive distraction. Just ask some of the people on BBI who watch from their couches. They know more than guys who were actually in the locker room.

Hopefully one of BBI’s truth warriors can help Barwin undestand what he missed that they see so clearly through scanning the internet.

He is so ultra competitive its why his emotions get the best of him sometimes during a game. Its also why he is as good as he is. I'm betting Gettleman wishes he had 52 more like him.
