EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Odell Beckham Jr. felt "very bad" after his first match since he's fractured his ankle last October. His body, his ankle, everything.
The New York Giants star catcher also watched his performance of 11 catches of 111 yards and was not too impressed, although there was room for at least one touchdown and several other big games if the quarterback Eli Manning had cooperated.
"There were a lot of things I went to see, things that made me think I could have done better," Beckham said. "There is little chance that we can make a difference in the game. It's just about connecting them, and just picking up the little details." It's all about knowing the depth of your journey, what I've always felt I needed to work
"So, there are some things that I've removed, there was some good, there were things I know I want to work on."
There was one game in particular that Beckham was running in the end zone and Manning's pass went through his head. Beckham was slightly affected by safety, which may have delayed timing. Manning also mentioned that he thought Beckham would run the road a little more outside of him.
It was the minute details that prevented the Giants from beating the Jacksonville Jaguars. They lost 20-15 and their only offensive touch came during a 68-yard run at Saquon Barkley.
"It's only the first game. Everyone is on the same length and just connect," said Beckham about what happened in the third quarter with Manning. "You must hit those, and we did not connect to that one.
"It's like the first game of the season, so we can watch it all, and next time we'll get there." The next time, the rest of the time, we start hitting it. . " I'm just going to have to deal with it. "
Optimism goes forward, in part because Beckham's broken ankle during week 5 of last season is healthy. He did not take a single slam in the pre-season.
The Giants will face the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday in an important game of the NFC East. Both teams lost their openers. Someone will be 0-2.
"Very [important]"said Beckham, who also noted that he was organizing a special touchdown celebration if he reached the end zone for the first time on Sunday night."[Wide receivers coach] Bastard dog [Tolbert] always says that someone will always go out at the end of a room with a win and a defeat. Not to be you.
"We plan to go out and win.It is always the goal to win.I hate to lose, no matter what."
Beckham was optimistic about the Giants and how they fought in the first game. He also sees reasons to believe that their offense will improve. It was their first regular season game under Pat Shurmur.
The Shurmur attack had Beckham everywhere on the ground. He was lined up in the slot, wide, in the backfield, in a series of packages inside the hashmark and even moving on more than a few games. This excited Beckham that future success is on the horizon.
"There are going to be game problems at every level they're going to face, and if they're nice about it, that's fine," said Beckham. "I know these other guys,[[[[Sterling Shepard]and [Evan Engram] and everyone will play games, it will make things difficult. Once we go, and really start, I'll see it really. I do not mean impossible, but very difficult to stop this offense.
"Run the racing game, get the passes, the game action, like everything, once it moves, it'll be hard."
Especially if Beckham is in good health and plays even better than in the first match.
