The Cowboys showed the rest of the league how to limit this cat to minimum production, just knock the snot out of him like our Wilcox did and he'll pretty much disappear the rest of the game.

There isn't an elite athlete out there that doesn't have atleast one fan of another team living in denial and calling them "overrated", regardless of what reality projects....smh*

The question is, can we do it twice. That remains to be seen.

Why would that even be a question? We can do it as many times as needed. I would however encourage Wilcox to get a better chin strap so he doesn't break his own nose again.

The guy is a beast. To suggest otherwise only makes one look foolish.

Then Terrance Williams is a beast as well because all this guy does is beat 1 on 1 coverage.

To me they are the same receiver at this point but ODB will have more catches because they dink and dunk.


ODB is pedestrian when facing double team.

They are not the same receivers, T-Will might be slightly faster but ODB is more of a natural receiver. Did you see ODBs TD catch yesterday? He reached back to catch the ball with his hands and brought the ball to his body to secure it. T-Will can only dream of making such a catch. I'd be comfortable with Dez out if we had a possession receiver like ODB.

Could care less about style points.

When he starts beating double coverage then i'll show some respect but right now he is overrated.

Doesn't help that the Giants can't run the ball or have any other receiver who can consistently take advantage of the doubles Odell sees.

That's why Dez was so good last season. Teams had to play a lot of single coverage down the stretch because of the running game and others like T-Will, Beasley, and Witten making plays.

I'm just not in awe of a receiver beating soft coverage.

He's a solid player but he isn't doing anything that a top 32 receiver in this league can't do.

Let it go man. The guy is a beast.

TWill is a solid player. OBJ is a star.

Would you trade TWill for OBJ, yes or no?

I live in New York so I have seen every single game he has played. The guy is incredible and is a top-five receiver in the league. End of story.

Dez Julio Calvin Antonio Demaryius Jordy all easily better. End of story? Hardly.

I'd just be trading one guy who has success against 1 on 1 coverage for another.
