i'm starting to realize why a lot of people bytch about madden... cause you really just sportscenter sports watchers and have no clue about real football
NEVER RIGHT?
There's a misguided sense among a segment of amateur analysts and
fantasy footballers that 2014
Offensive Rookie of the Year Odell Beckham is susceptible to a sophomore slump
with defenses prepared to send double teams in waves this season.
The uncoverable
New York Giants wideout has a message for those defenses: Bring it.
"I definitely expect to receive a lot more attention," Beckham said Wednesday, via NJ.com's Jordan Raanan. "But it's just not going to work."
Opposing defenses started double-teaming Beckham late last season, just as offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo got creative, moving the game's most dangerous wide receiver around the formation.
The result: The Giants averaged 29.2 points per game over the final six weeks of the season.
Beckham's 606 yards in December were the most by any rookie in one calendar month. With multiple defensive backs trying in vain to contain Beckham, Rueben Randle exploded for 12 receptions and 290 yards in the final two games.
nikkas put the double team on him and he went ahead and broke the rookie record for yards in a month at the same damn time.... NEVER tho right?
nikkas doubled him all last year and he had 96 catches for 1450 yards... bu i guess the entire nfl was just single covering him on all 96 catches right
so what did i tell these fools to do?? press cover him with a safety over top.... you know who agrees with that? the real nfl coaches and players.... you know what defense has worked best against the real life ODB??? press coverage.... you know what his strength rating is?? 49.... which means you can push him off his route while blitzing the qb
but i'll let the experts tell you.......
After Giants receiver
Odell Beckham Jr. took the NFL by storm in only 12 games as a rookie, he appeared on NBCSN’s
Pro Football Talk with former college teammate (and current Cardinals standout)
Tyrann Mathieu.
Asked how to stop Beckham, Mathieu said, “I think somebody in his face the entire game, it’ll probably give him some trouble.”
Said Beckham with a smile, “It’s true. It’s true.”
In Week Two of the preseason, the Jaguars seemed to be intent on getting in Beckham’s face at the line of scrimmage — and everywhere else on the field. Receiver
Victor Cruz claims, via Jordan Raanan of NJ.com,
that some of the Jacksonville defensive backs were “gunning for” Beckham.
The Rams got extra physical with Beckham last year, and Cruz has advised the Madden cover athlete that he should “expect it every week” in 2015.
It’s one thing to expect it. It’s another thing to still make plays when it happens.
Beckham isn’t a very big guy, which could make it harder for him to be consistently fighting to get open and then to catch passes without being hit hard.
