EAST RUTHERFORD Daniel Jones NFL Jersey , N.J. (AP) — There are a lot of things Odell Beckham Jr. doesn’t like these days.It starts off with losing and the New York Giants‘ 1-5 record. He doesn’t like the continual questions about his recent ESPN interview in which he criticized the team’s energy on the field and its offensive schemes.New York Giants co-owner John Mara saying earlier this week the NFL’s highest -paid receiver needs to make more headlines on the field than off didn’t draw much of a response.And there’s one more thing. Despite cramping in two of the last three games and needing IVs, Beckham isn’t a big fan of water.Go figure?Beckham hit all those topics Friday before the Giants practiced for Monday night’s game in Atlanta against the disappointing and banged-up Falcons (2-4).The hot topic was Beckham’s reaction to Mara’s criticism. It was the first time the owner had spoken publicly since Beckham’s ill-advised comments in an interview before a game against Carolina on Oct. 7.“I respect and value his opinion, obviously, so that’s what we’re going to do,” said Beckham, who added he has not spoken to Mara specifically about the owner’s comments. “Like I said, focus on Atlanta right now and that’s really it.”Beckham reiterated he has no regrets for his comments in the ESPN interview, noting he tries not to have any regrets in life. He refused to say whether the team fined him.His biggest concern was the Giants’ record and what he and his teammates could do to change things.“We need to start winning games and everybody needs to pick it up Daniel Jones NFL Draft ,” Beckham said. “I need to play better. I can’t say that I’ve had my best season. I can’t say that I’ve done enough to help this team win and I need to do more. Everybody needs to do more. Everybody’s got to pick it up. We win games together, we lose them together. There’s no other way around it. It’s a team sport.”Beckham’s faith in beleaguered quarterback Eli Manning has not wavered. He said he stands in the huddle all the time and tells Manning, “Take me home, 10.”“He knows what he’s doing,” the 25-year-old said of the two-time Super Bowl MVP. “He’s the most prepared of anybody I’ve ever seen and that’s exactly what I say, ‘Take me home,’ so we’re going to start picking it up. We got to. We have no other choice.”While he has only one touchdown catch, Beckham leads the team with 45 receptions for 506 yards.Beckham said a couple of wins before the bye week would do a lot to reduce the focus on the negative things surrounding the team Daniel Jones Buffalo Bills Jersey , which came into the year under new coach Pat Shurmur looking to rebound from a 3-13 season.The Giants have had 11 days to prepare for this game and Beckham used some of the time to take a step back and clear his head. He’s back in football mode.“You work 10 hours a day, I say this all the time, 10 hours a day for 60 minutes of football,” he said. “Those 60 minutes are crucial, so we need to take advantage of every minute of it.”Coincidentally, Beckham has missed a couple of minutes in two of the last three days because he needed an IV after becoming dehydrated.“I really don’t like water,” he said matter-of-factly. “I’m trying, I just really don’t like when you get that stomach feeling Color Rush Daniel Jones Jersey , it’s all slushy, like I’m trying to stay hydrated. Sometimes I just got to get an IV, it’s just necessary. You’re cramping in both calves, it’s hard to run and make cuts and if you’re cramping and dehydrated, you’re susceptible to something else, so I’m trying to stay on top of it the best that I can.”NOTES: LT Nate Solder and WR Russell Shepard were limited in practice for the second straight day with neck problems. … WR/KR Jawill Davis did not practice Friday because of a concussion. … The Giants signed receiver Corey Coleman to their practice squad. He was the 15th overall selection by the Browns in the 2016 draft. Cleveland traded him to the Buffalo Bills, who released him on Sept. 1.

Manning getting ready for 16th year as offseason program begins"The New York Giants took their time fully committing to Eli Manning as their 2019 starting quarterback, with GM Dave Gettleman saying as late as the NFL Combine that the team was still “evaluating everything.”Manning Youth Daniel Jones Jersey , though, said Monday that he left little doubt with the organization that he hoped to return for a 16th season with the team.He said Monday that he knew “pretty quickly” after last season that he wanted to continue as the team’s quarterback.“I didn’t have to think about it long,” said the 38-year-old.“I still wanted to play. I told the Giants that very quickly. I didn’t have to think about it long. This is what I do and what I like to do and I have worked extremely hard the last few months to get ready. I liked how the team rallied toward the end of the year with the coaches. Everyone got on a better page together. Could have won a few more games but had great opportunities to win. We are headed in the right direction.”Manning said he found out some time in the last month or so that he would be brought for 2019. He received a $5 million 2019 roster bonus last month.“I had some talks with Mr. Gettleman and coach Shurmur within the last month or so,” he said. “They told me that I would come back and be on the team this year. I got word within the last month.”He said he is “thinking about right now” and isn’t concerned about what, at this stage of his career, will the year-to-year nature of his status.Manning is conscious of the possibility the Giants will use an early draft pick on an heir apparent for him.“I can see the Giants getting a young quarterback. I understand that,” Manning said. “I still have to do my job. I will do my part. Same as last year. Go out there, play quarterback Womens Daniel Jones Jersey , win football games. That is what I am trying to do.”“In the quarterback room I’ve always felt like I had a great relationship with everybody. We’ve drafted quarterbacks, we’ve had young quarterbacks in there.
