Brandon Marshall: Giants ‘playing with fire’ by criticizing Odell Beckham
“I would love to try to help him in this regard because I think so highly of him”, Coughlin continued.
Sadly, Beckham has turned the spotlight on himself for all the wrong reasons.
This is a situation that Beckham has created, and one he has fueled with his conspiratorial comments. Stop playing the victim card. “You can see the respect that the first four opponents had for him just based on the way they have played him, so he is an excellent talent and is definitely a playmaker”. That’s what you say you want, so be quiet and do that.
“I think the role of the quarterback is probably many things, probably the least of which would be critical because you have to work hand in hand and I really never saw any benefit in being critical towards your players,” Favre said of his own experience in dealing with frustrated teammates. I hope that he can find a way to let that show through.
“I don’t want to see anymore one-handed catches, honestly”. Another day talking about Odell Beckham Jr. Unfortunately, I coach middle school.
Ben McAdoo addressed the team on Wednesday with what Justin Pugh said was the most essential message of the season. Beckham bristled at that.
Beckham played two seasons for Coughlin, who coached the Giants to two Super Bowl titles, after getting drafted in 2014. Marshall said wide receivers asking for the ball is not the selfish act that some perceive it to be.
One could say that Beckham is complaining, and some have gone so far as to question whether Beckham is defined as the “villain” in the NFL. “It’s our job to help him with that process and maturing”.
But Pryor, who has a reputation as a big hitter, said he won’t play football any differently because of the hefty fine.
Everyone has an opinion about the Giants and Beckham right now.
Minnesota’s defense denied Odell Beckham Jr. all night and forced two turnovers that led to 10 points, and the Vikings mystified Eli Manning yet again during a 24-10 victory Monday over the New York Giants. I’ve worked with Mike (McCarthy, the head coach) for 11 years now and Tom (Clements, the associate head coach) directly for six years. The fact that the 2-2 Giants have spent the days since their loss at Minnesota dealing with the fallout of his latest unsportsmanlike conduct penalty is the definition of a distraction.
McAdoo insisted those were not distractions to his team. I’m being honest. They need to rally behind him and give him the support he needs and handle that stuff in-house, whether good or bad.
Monday’s win over the New York Giants was very similar in design by the Vikings’ defensive coaching staff, but the results were impressive in a different way. The Giants are looking up from the bottom of the NFC East and they have several other issues to solve.
“Just getting into a rhythm”.
Turnovers, in addition to penalties, pose as another area that must be improved on against the Vikings with two Eli Manning interceptions and one takeaway hurting the Giants severely against Washington. Manning and Cruz spoke on WFAN-AM 660 on Monday afternoon, and agreed Beckham needs to rein in his emotions, to figure out a way to make them work to his advantage rather than his detriment.
