News: Cowboys' work on Odell Beckham Jr. shouldn't be overlooked

[erod]

The word is out on Beckham. Get physical on him at the line of scrimmage. He can't handle it.

Yes D did a great job on him. But the love fested announcing crew would not mention now he was contained. Or I didn't hear it anyway.

Someone needs to make sure that film gets to all of the teams on the Giants schedule, except not to the Eagles.
Commanders don.t matter.

Yeah... I was getting so tired of the giants and their 5 out of 6 losses against us being trumped by a catch that they lost the game in.

Sooooomhappy that the story is buried under Eli's "Don't Score Gate"

What's funny didn't Dez have like 5 for 48 with that huge drop? He was out the entire game almost and had better stats than Woodstock!

Fans are compelled to either make a good player 1.) invincible or 2.) a scrub.

ODB is a very good receiver. Great? It's hard for me to call any rookie or second-year player "great." I think the "greatness" call should come after a few years in the league.
Having said that, ODB had a great rookie season. But he is not invincible. Neither is Dez. Almost every player has strengths and weaknesses. Only the transcendent ones don't - and I don't know too many of those players.
Jaws said something I think is worth repeating. He said he noticed ODB didn't go all out on his routes and had some "turtle" in him. He said defensive backs would exploit that this year and target him for big hits. That's EXACTLY what Wilcox did.
But that's no knock on ODB. If you're not built for such hits, why would you play as if you could take them?
Sometimes, your opponent figures out how to take advantage of your weakness. That doesn't make you a scrub, any more than Dez was a scrub Sunday night because the Giants basically locked him up.

News flash: The other team has players and playmakers too, and they're trying to take advantage of the Cowboys' weaknesses.

Miles Austin was a beast for a season too. Would you agree that he is overrated?

Miles Austin was plagued by injuries, which can change everything. I believe that ODB will have another good to great year. One game is not going to change my opinion.
I would also like to add that he received a lot of hype due to the catch, due to playing in New York. But I still think that he's a baller.

Why should they say something positive about the Cowboys on TV?

Why couldn they not stop saying positive stuff about other teams on tv?

 

[mugsybows]

Claiborne looked how he looked in college. im hoping this is finally the year he gets it going.

 

[JDSmith]

He doesn't like physical play. He complains about it and it takes him out of his game. His statistics this year won't be nearly as impressive as last year, whether Cruz comes back or not.

 

[CashMan]

It's one game, but I'm very encouraged by Mo's play.

Let's hope, this is I am in a contract year play from Mo.
