re: Pat Shurmur goes after Odell Beckham

quote:

---

“I’ve watched him play and compete, and when you throw all the other stuff out and you watch him on the field, he’s outstanding,’’ Shurmur said. “So it makes sense to throw him the football. I’m just going to say that right away. If I didn’t acknowledge that, then you’ve definitely got the wrong guy up here. “


But I think what needs to happen now is I need to get to know him. I need to get to know what makes him tick — and I get to — I need to talk to him about what it is that we’re looking for for a guy that plays for the New York Giants. And I think those are the things that go back to relationship building that need to happen very, very soon.’’

Speaking of dealing with players in general and not specifically Beckham, Shurmur said, “I have zero tolerance for people who don’t compete, zero tolerance for people who don’t give effort, and zero tolerance for people who have a lack of respect.’’
