John Mara says that Odell Beckham has to play more, talk less

NEW YORK – Giants owner John Mara is unhappy with all aspects of his team's departure (1-5), and he certainly did not appreciate the interceptor's televised interview Odell Beckham Jr. with Josina Anderson of ESPN there are two sundays.

"I wish he's making the headlines through his field play, contrary to what he says and what he's doing off the field," Mara said Tuesday when 39, a break at the meeting of the owners of the NFL. "I think he needs to play a little more and talk less."

Beckham signed a $ 90 million five-year contract extension with the Giants shortly before the start of the season.

During an interview with ESPN including rapper Lil Wayne, Beckham expressed his frustration at the slow start of the team and how the offensive was working. He even made comments that did not reflect the late star Eli Manning. At the time of the interview, the giants were aged 1 to 3. They lost their two games since then and are 1-5 for the second consecutive season.

"I'm always embarrassed to be 1-5," said Mara. "I can not stand here and look for excuses about it.You are what your record says, as a wise man has already said, and I can not say anything to make people feel better about it. I just suffer as much as our fans are, probably more. "

Mara expressed her confidence in the freshman head coach, Pat Shurmur and freshman general manager Dave Gettleman, stating, "I trust we have the right candidates in the world." building to make it work. "

When asked about her quarterback in battle, Mara seemed to choose her words carefully.

"I think when you have 1-5 years, it usually means that everyone has to play better, so he's not alone," Mara said. "I still believe … that we still believe in him, but everyone has to do his job for us to succeed, and for now this is not happening.I know it's the bag boxing right now, but a lot of guys have to play better when you're 1-5. "

Mara said that he was not sorry to have lost a quarter and chose Penn State's half Saquon Barkley was second overall in this year's draft, despite Manning's difficulties and the fact that four quarters were selected from the top 10 picks in this draft and five in the first round. Barkley played brilliantly for the Giants, placing sixth in the NFL with 438 rushing yards in 84 races and one ninth in the league (the first among the running backs) with 40 receptions. He has 373 yards on those 40 assists and two touchdowns with four touchdowns.

"We took the best player in the repechage," said Mara. "I'm delighted with what he's accomplished so far and I think the sky is the limit for him."

The next game of the Giants will take place Monday night at home against the Atlanta Falcons (2-4), another disappointing NFC team. Mara was asked if he saw reason to believe that the Giants' season could turn around.

"I think we are going to restore some guys' health this week, and I hope it will give us even more spark," Mara said. "I think we have more talent on the list than 1-5, but what does it mean? We are 1-5."
