Captain Murica Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I personally watched the Browns vs Giants pre-season game, I had some daily fantasy interest in the game. I saw the hit and thought there goes Odell's season since his leg was planted and took a direct shot to the knee and it looked bad. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/08/22/jarvis-landry-on-odell-beckham-injury-this-is-why-i-hate-preseason/ Posted by Michael David Smith on August 22, 2017, 8:10 AM EDT AP "Giants receiver Odell Beckham appeared to avoid serious injury when he took a hit against the Browns on Monday night, but Beckham’s friend and college teammate wasn’t happy to see him take any injury at all. Dolphins receiver Jarvis Landry, who played alongside Beckham at LSU, wrote on Twitter that he wasn’t pleased with seeing his buddy get hurt in a meaningless exhibition. “This is why I hate preseason Bulls–t,” Landry wrote on Twitter after Beckham was hurt. Landry’s complaint is a common one across the NFL, as players wonder why they’re risking their bodies in games that don’t matter. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is speaking out in favor of reducing the preseason, and he’ll likely have the support of players like Landry in that — at least if the league can find a way to shorten the preseason without doing something else the players oppose, such as lengthening the regular season. That’s a big “if.”." LA Ram's great Sammy Watkins chimed in as well.

If he thinks the hit, in general, isn't okay then I have an issue since this is coming from a guy that ended Aaron William's career on an illegal hit. Yes, Aaron should have kept his head on a swivel but doesn't make it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogblitz Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Looked like a legal hit to me. They're trying to play football out there. If you're afraid of getting hurt. there are other sports. Swimming. Tennis. Softball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Then these guys will get hurt in the regular season. The reduction in practice reps is the reason these guys are falling in preseason. Reduce the prep time some more and watch an explosion of injuries in Week 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fridge Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 There's no other way to do it. You need to get live game reps in. If they want to limit it to 2 games, fine, but you can't just cancel preseason on the off chance that you'll be injured. That's ridiculous. As a side note, Landry is still my least favorite player in the league not on the Patriots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4_kidd_4 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 You're forcing people to go low these days. Exactly. Can't really go high anymore, and every play certainly can't be a perfect wrap-up tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teef Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 i honestly saw maybe 10 minutes of the entire game, and that was the first thing i saw. i bet giants fans had to unpucker their sphincters after that hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiskibreth Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 it wasn't dirty, it wasn't illegal, but it was a poor and unsafe tackle that should have had higher pad-level. Tackler could have remained on his feet and wrapped the waist, face int he gut. There was plenty of time and room to contemplate and execute that maneuver vs. the maneuver he did contemplate and execute, leaving his feet and tucking his head.

BuffaloMatt Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) It was Eli's fault. Real time OBJ had to go back for an under thrown ball. Can't blame the corner. Sucks that that happens but that is part of football. Sammy, OBJ, Landry and the rest are Million Dollar Prima Donnas. Obviously the Giants staff did not seemed too concerned and let him walk off the field and go to locker room unattended. Only when OBJ realized he wasn't getting the attention that he wanted he crumpled down in the hallway screaming "Look at me", "Pay attention to me", "Whaaaaaa. . .".
