Beckham has 19 catches for 280 yards this year after an outstanding first two seasons in the NFL.

It certainly looks like Odell Beckham’s frustration is warranted after a three turnover day for the Giants.
The Washington Redskins travel to the Meadowlands to take on the New York Giants in an NFC East divisional tilt in week 3 National Football League action. Considering that the Giants combined for 7 penalties for 65 yards in the first two games, I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt.
Washington has an innate talent for stirring up locker room drama when the team isn’t winning – it’s been a running theme throughout the Dan Snyder era. “Third-down efficiency, we are behind in that category, and red zone has been bad”. He has been their third-down back, with his 59 catches last season finishing second on the team. “Like I said, all I care for is football and I’m sure it’s the same for him”. “I feel for the player”. “He’s been a quality person since we got him”. On six goal-to-go plays, the Redskins threw the ball five times. I think the other thing would just be when we get behind and we have to get in a two-minute mode, you just can’t run the ball. RB Orleans Darkwa chipped in 53 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries while the Giants rushed for 120 yards as a team … But this wasn’t a normal game, and the Giants knew they wouldn’t get any slack from the officials.
NYG: CB Eli Apple (hamstring), CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (groin). McAdoo said the Giants will decide whether they need to sign another cornerback.
Defensive tackles Montori Hughes and Robert Thomas, quarterback Josh Johnson, wide receiver Roger Lewis, right tackle Marshall Newhouse and free safety Darian Thompson are all inactive for Sunday’s matchup. He will have to wear a walking boot for now.
“They were probably trying to cut down on things because of what happened with that matchup”, he added of Norman vs. Beckham.
“He needs to control himself better and be less of a distraction to his teammates”, McAdoo said on Monday, via the New York Post. Time should help him focus more on that than any perceived targets or slights, like the one that left him describing himself as “shocked” that he wasn’t ejected for the late offensive interference penalty.

The Giants can’t afford another effort like that this week. Olivier Vernon’s roughing the passer came as he violently slammed his left hand into the back of Cousin’s head (and maybe hit him in his chin with the crown of his helmet). “Hindsight, I wish we wouldn’t have tried as many”, Gruden said, “but we’ll throw more fades”. Will the Redskins get back on track behind Cousins after being crushed the first two weeks of the season?
