Norman will go “anywhere Odell goes. except for slot”, the source said. “Scrapping. Savagery as they come”, Norman said of the team’s first win of the season. In an offseason story with ESPN, Norman said he shut down Broncos receiver Demaryius Thomas in Super Bowl 50.

Well, first and foremost I think Odell Beckham needs to maintain his poise so that the game is actually ABOUT THE GAME, rather than being about him and Josh Norman. Beckham averaging 121.3 yards with five TDs in three games against Washington. By the end of that December 20 game in NY against the Carolina Panthers, Norman’s former team, Beckham had been whistled for three personal fouls, including one after he got a 10-yard running start and smashed into Norman’s helmet.
That seems like a lot to have to stop, but Giants cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie said it potentially boils down to one thing. “I just never really focus on what other people are doing”. You have a hungry Redskins team that is clamoring for their first win of the season after they lost to the Cowboys last Sunday.
“I knew I was ready for this”, said Shepard, who is tied for second in the National Football League with six catches on third down.
The game will be played at the MetLife stadium in NY at 6pm GMT.
Washington’s defense preserved the win with Quinton Dunbar picking off Eli Manning in the end zone early in the fourth quarter and Su’a Cravens making another with 1:02 to play after NY got a first down at its 39. OBJ burns Norman a couple times early but his taunts don’t incite almost the antics from previous year.
Since that Week 15 game, the two have traded barbs at one another through the media and on Twitter. The Redskins have not beaten the Giants at the Meadowlands since 2011, and could desperately use a win to turn around their quest to repeat as division champs.
Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 21 of 35 throws for 296 yards and two touchdowns. Opponents have doubled Beckham more often than not and that has left the rookie and fellow receiver Victor Cruz in single coverage. Then, after some playful prodding, he gave an answer in support of the Giants’ past – but not without offering plenty of optimism for the present and the future. Has Game Plan For Josh Norman, Redskins appeared first on Cover32.
Giants coach Ben McAdoo doesn’t expect an encore from Beckham and Norman. That’s just what you do. The defending NFC East champs are sitting at 0-2 and can’t afford to drop two straight division games. The Giants had a blocked punt by Romeo Okwara nullified with just over 11 minutes to play by a personal foul against Andrew Adams, who was added to the roster Saturday.
“I’ve surprised myself a little bit”, said Cruz, who has eight catches for 125 yards.

Manning isn’t looking at this game as a chance to bury the Redskins.
