National Football League star’s epic videobomb on sports reporter
Sterling Shepard is starting to look like the next breakout star on the New York Giants.
Better save something for the game.
OBJ and the Giants will try to advance to 2-0 on the season against New Orleans on Sunday. They were hooting and hollering in a jubilant postgame locker room despite failing to score an offensive touchdown and losing the turnover battle 3-0. Shepard comes to a stop as he catches the ball and gets the Giants’ drive off on the right foot with a 14-yard gain and a first down.
This week’s opponent, the Chicago Bears, gave up double-digit fantasy points to two Houston wideouts, DeAndre Hopkins and rookie Will Fuller, and ranked No. 30 against a team’s No. 1 receiver last season, yielding 75.4 yards on 8.1 targets per game. (8-86) combined for 20 receptions and nearly 300 yards. It’s time for Beckham and the Giants offense to catch up. The 23-year old wideout played collegiately at the University of Oklahoma. So far, he’s lived up to the hype. And Carolina has a much better offensive front, ranking No. 5 in 2015 for second-level yards (1.23 yards per carry) compared with the Rams (1.03, No. 24 in NFL). Five of his catches came on third down, including four that went for a first down.
No one would have blamed the Saints if this game would have turned out different after Williams went down.
Manning now has an abundance of weapons to use. Cruz said he would be very surprised if Norman did not follow Beckham when the two meet again.
Moore said that he feels Beckham gets away with contact against defenders, calling it a “staple on those deep balls”, and spoke to members of the officiating crew about it without getting any satisfaction. We don’t know yet, and all we have to go on is a sample size of three against an under-manned defense. A week after the world being baffled by Norman sticking to one side of the field instead of following Antonio Brown, and after the heated defenses of why the team did it, he started the same way against the Cowboys. Overwrought soldier comparisons aside, though, Norman, his reputation, his contract, his defensive teammates, his coaches and Washington’s entire season are going to be under siege this entire week.
Odell Beckham Jr. has just pulled off a video bomb on Sunday that is going to be really tough for the rest of the National Football League to match this season. They’ll also need to worry about Cruz.
Notice that Manning put the ball right into the pocket of the zone, and didn’t continue to lead Shepard across the field.
