1. Odell Beckham has spent the first five weeks trying to remove the rust from last year’s brouhaha with Josh Norman

First, much diversion had taken place surrounding how Odell Beckham would tolerate criticism of his outlandish play last year. Now, especially after last week’s performance where Beckham’s receiving yardage was a low 56 yards, Beckham can focus on taking a gradual approach toward improving his statistics each game, focusing less on becoming a media spectacle.

Statistics can be sobering to the most talented players.

Per Ralph Vacciano, the numbers are a bad sign for Eli.

Eli Manning, against a team missing its top two cornerbacks, is 5 of 12 for 74 yards. Awful.

This week will be a reflective moment in the season for Beckham where he will most likely be thinking per NJ.com last week

“I have been authentic all season long and it is not helping the team win games. Tempering my personality and being mindful of the bigger picture of being on a team as Tom Coughlin and Tiki Barber have suggested, may be the best approach to take for the time being.”

Meetings will take place involving film review and meetings with coaching staff and other consultants to the Giants, as have occurred in recent time.
