Antonio Cromartie dubs Odell Beckham Jr. a “one-year wonder”

He admitted that Beckham ‘had the most production out of any receiver I’ve seen in 16 games since Randy Moss’. The Giants next game after that is against the Eagles on Monday Night football.

It’s a narrative that surely will continue leading up to the Jets-Giants regular-season game on December. 6. “I give him the utmost (credit) for that….” “But the next step is the continuation to execute well, the continuation to play well together, to understand the opponent”.

Beckham and the Giants host the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night.

Nobody in the Giants backfield is of the same quality as Lacy, and shutting down the New York running attack will likely be the best avenue to stymieing Manning and the passing game.

“It’s tough to walk the line”, he said. Something tells me these comments are going to get dusted off at a few point that week.

The 49ers’ defense can go one of two ways at MetLife Stadium, it can define itself as a unit that only performs well in favorable conditions at home, or as a stingy group that is the strength of the team. The 69-year-old coach also said the Niners didn’t look like a 1-3 team in their loss to Green Bay last week.

“It’s week-to-week, ” Coughlin said. “So you do have to be aware of those things, but I don’t pay any attention to that. And we’re desperate to win”. I starts this Sunday with the 49ers at home.

Odell Beckham, Jr.is an early victim of outrageously raised expectations. After Eli Manning threw a fourth-quarter interception, Beckham was knocked off his feet by Bills safety Duke Williams on the return. He was voted as the NFL’s offensive rookie of the year.

Colin Kaepernick’s every drop back is being scrutinized. “That family is going through an bad time right now”. His wide receivers, Anquan Boldin and Torrey Smith, are hardly hiding their frustrations.

“He’s an explosive player”, 49ers safety Eric Reid said of Beckham, his former LSU teammate. “I love football, there’s nothing more to it than that”, he said. What those numbers will be, I don’t know.

The Giants have a split personality on defense. This year, he is averaging 76.8 yards receiving and has only two touchdowns. The pass defense is dead last, No. 32. It’s not Odell. It’s just a combination of everything, and that’s something we’re working at right now to get better at. “We’ll see how that goes”. It was a game the Giants should have won but had a late collapse.

But anyone who can catch a ball like the example below won’t be held in check for long. He was a rising star after leading the 49ers to the Super Bowl three years ago, a gazelle-like athlete with speed and a howitzer for an arm. Now? But with an offseason’s worth of time to watch tape and figure out how to defend him, opposing coaches are devoting far more time, energy and manpower to stopping him.
