Odell Beckham Jr. Apologizes to Team, Fans over Suspension
“He was provoked”, Giants coach Tom Coughlin told reporters Wednesday.
However, former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver and current NFL Network analyst Michael Irvin told the New York Daily News’ Gary Myers that Beckham has been subjected to homophobic slurs throughout the season based on conversations the two have had.
Beckham has a base salary of $893,000 and will lose $55,813 for being suspended for Sunday night’s game.
Added defensive tackle Jay Bromley: “You’d love to have him (Beckham) but unfortunately you don’t”. He draws double coverages, has breakaway potential, and causes opposing defenses to know where he is on every play.
“The NFL leads with the shield first, that’s the first thing they’re anxious about, ‘how does this affect the shield and business, ‘” Bill contends.
The Giants are tied with the Philadelphia Eagles at 6-8 for the second spot in the division, with the Washington Redskins leading with a 7-7 record.
“He’s going to learn that there’s no place for that kind of activity on the field, as I’ve said many times before”, Coughlin said.
Jeremy McNichols scored three touchdowns, the first one just 58 seconds into the game, and finished with 189 total yards as Boise State embarrassed Northern Illinois 55-7 in the Poinsettia Bowl on Wednesday. “I was proud of the way he bounced back”, Manning said. “I’m not going to try to change up anything”. This is about my behaviour, and I am responsible for my behaviour. Beckham’s 1,396 yards and 13 TDs are also more than twice that of any other receiver on the team (Randle is next in both categories with 638 yards and six TDs). Dwayne Harris has shown flashes, catching 35 catches and four touchdowns.
“He had a significant injury”, Del Rio said. He was limited at practice.
“He’s coaching the game, so if you’re watching the game on television and it’s being replayed over and over and over, he’s seeing it differently”. And Antonio Brown caught 16 passes for 189 yards. “For me, looking at the tape, there were two or three opportunities early in the game to throw a flag and set the tone”, Blandino said.
Wing said he saw Panthers practice squad Marcus Ball come over towards Beckham and it appeared to be a “legitimate threat”.
Beckham and the man exchanged words, the punter said.
Unfortunately for Panthers head coach Ron Rivera, where there’s smoke, there is usually fire.
“He felt bad”, Coughlin said of Beckham.
Instead of dealing with an ejection, the Giants are dealing with a one-game suspension for their most dynamic player, in what has become a make-up call.
