Skip & Shannon on Odell Beckham Jr. Super Bowl LVI performance – Rams vs. Bengals | NFL | UNDISPUTED

yes he proved that skip I don't believe they win the Super Bowl I don't believe they're in the Super Bowl without uh eight uh um Odell and if you saw skip he was getting better and better the first game the Cardinals and then the next game against Tampa and then the next game against San Francisco and he started out this game faster than he did any of those games so it looked like what they were trying to do they were going to take Cooper cup away and they were going to roll the dice either Eli Apple you take it man-to-man he's on your side or woozier you take it man-to-man he's on your side he got Hilton in the slot playing the number three position Hilton is considered the best slot Corner in football in Odell guy behind him like it was like us but when he's up there yeah especially come playoff time he's been Sensational he's been lights out in the playoffs and so for me skip I think he proved he was he had proved that I'm Odell because the Rams had done a great job of playing to what Odell does really well skip he's he's very good route running he's a great route Runner he has tremendous lateral quickness and allowing him to High Point the football they can catch on Hilton in the end zone he High pointed the football he's a hand Catcher And so they've done a great job of putting him in position so he can use his hands so he can use his quickness I believe he had silenced the critics to say okay this is the Odell he's getting back to being the Odell that we saw in New York that's what I thought they had now we don't know the extent of this injury hopefully knocking on wood is something that he can come back from fairly quickly but if it's an ACL skill you look at their reporting you're looking at the you're looking at the earliest he's getting back is November December that's at the earliest because he's not going to have surgery probably until what uh end of this month maybe the beginning of March so even hell Adrian Peterson who was bionic it still took him eight months to get back so even though it comes he goes on the timeline the ad AP did you're looking at November December maybe even January it's why Kawhi Leonard is not going to be back for this basketball season exactly it was just it doesn't make 12 months right it doesn't make any sense yeah so as Brady said month or so ago this is a lifetime injury once you tear an ACL it's so crucial to the movement of the knee that it's hard to ever get it right and it win again right it did and Skip you you see the way he had two catches they had thrown in two Targets he had 52 yards he was on his way to having a monster game Odell was going to because they had made an effort they were going to take Hooper cup away and Matthew Stafford did not have a problem how many times can you throw the ball to Van Jefferson and Van Jefferson's not there to answer his call how many times can you throw the ball to swanik and he's not there to answer the call it basically it came down to Patrick and it came down to Cooper cup and on that last drive he had Cooper cup ended up with eight for uh well eight for 92 four of those came on the last Drive skip so for me Odell proved that he was back to being Odell again and unfortunately he suffered an injury in the Super Bowl okay when you say he proved he's back to being a top receiver are we talking about a top 10 receiver what kind of a like is is he uh an absolute number one receiver now yes yes yes yes yes but not a top ten receiver oh I believe he was a top 10 receiver I believe Odell had played his way he was in that kind of shape his mind was where it needed to be uh there was no more distractions he was he had grown up he understood who and what he was and he was content with that yes I do believe Odell Beckham was about to beat was a was going to be that top 10 receiver this year okay all right I'm going to preface everything I say about Odell Beckham Jr with I really like him off the field and I agree with your premise that he has grown up and wised up and become a man and a professional right before your eyes because we went through this whole year with no I mean it was the back half of the year but but it was very All Quiet on the Western Front right yes we heard nothing out of Odell there was no Diva Behavior there was no wave making he was content he barely caught many passes down the his the eight games that he did play he was catching three a game for about 38 yards but he did not complain right he he just came to work right and it looked like he worked hard to figure out Matt Stafford and vice versa and once they got to the playoffs to your point it started to click right and it started to produce at a higher and higher rate my issue with Odell was simply he had a chance he could have gone home to New Orleans they wanted him by all accounts badly they don't have Mike Thomas obviously and Odell could have gone right down to New Orleans again without a clear-cut number one quarterback but you could have gone in there and said I'm number one here I'm going to take this team over well number one with no quarterback okay but I'm just saying if you wanted you you could just say I'm the guy I'm going to my hometown to turn my hometown team around because it lost its number one receiver a guy who he won offensive player of the year right was it yeah no no what'd you call them won it uh um the only one receiver uh Jerry won it didn't Mike Thomas win I thought he won it didn't he did he win the award seemed like he won something or MVP or something no he didn't win MVP but he won yeah anyway okay the point is it shocked me when Odell chose the Rams because the guy we're not talking about yet is Robert Woods right and you acknowledge to me that when Odell got there Robert was was definitely better than Odell at this stage of his career you said that well what if they'd had Robert Woods last night Lord have mercy in that right but here's the thing is right is Odell better than Jefferson and the other guy it for a while it was a push with Jefferson because they do like Jefferson because he can run now that's why they got but he's not trustable on running that route that's why they signed Odell because he was thinking hold on we got cup one Woods two our third receiver would be Odell that's what they were thinking if it worked with Odell and they couldn't be sure but they were going to bring him in and hope and remember he's had three surgeries in the Le in in the last three years three years yeah three surgeries because he's had all kinds of things go wrong a little bit of quickness and speed although I will give you this early on last night that's why it got me that he got hurt because I wanted to see him finish the game and see what happened because this Bengals team has one thing going for it it won't go away no it you you think you got him and you don't got them right and they'll just keep on keeping on fighting because they'll fight you on defenses where they'll fight you and they'll make plays because they were hot as a defense opportunistically hot so I wanted this thing to get hot in the second half where we could see Odell rise and shine but but again where where he was brilliant in his choice you want to talk about shining in her Shadow it you're shining in the shadow of the most productive receiver in the history of the game for one year right right but that's the thing though skip you saw the explosion that he showed across I love that ball that twin especially now he showed the explosion but see skip that's the thing Jefferson can do that that's still Cooper come over there Jefferson couldn't make those plays Marilyn Jefferson I don't think he's better than Robert Woods because Robert Woods is hellacious Robert Wood you want to talk about running across the middle route Robert Woods and Cooper cup are more alike than Odell and cup that is Odell and wood that is true so if especially if they had Rob remember Robert was tears his ACL the day Odell walks in the door and he in practice on a Friday remember this how do you tear your ACL who knows it's like the injury God said sorry right for this year and he was the guy comforted in Odell in the locker room last night said I was holding him hugging him right because you don't think Robert Woods can know that it's Gibb I know hey I tore my MCL in the Super Bowl 33. so I know what Odell is good the only thing that the only saving grace is that we won the game can you imagine you going out injured and you lose the game knowing that you was going to be a major contributor you had started off being a major contributor a touchdown a 35-yard catch and run you're like oh yeah I'm in the money you had two touchdowns on the first four drives and then guess what happens Kim that thing went real stagnant yeah it went real stagnant no I I agree and I'm I will give you this in closing on Odell that touchdown catch was a good route because remember he and Baker were always not on the same page and Baker's Camp was always saying he's breaking off routes he's freelancing routes right they just never connected and this touchdown throw number one it's a really good thing you can't throw it any better than he threw it and number two you got Odell at his Peak just going up that's what it does that and he is a hands catcher yes well hey he he just might be the best hands catcher in the history of the game because the pregame shows are better than the in-game shows a lot of times right he has tremendous hands yeah but skip I think the thing is that you know you say to go to New Orleans skip that I mean take some Hill James had gotten hurt you got uh uh Trevor Simeon I'm not going there I'm not going there to be a number one d i I always go back and look at what could D Hopkins numbers look like if he wasn't catching ball from Keenum and Brock Osweiler and Tom Savage and this one and that one had he had a legit quarterback now he made Pro bowls he made all Pros but just think about what his numbers could look like with a true number one quarterback Odell said you know what I would rather go somewhere be two or three with a solid quarterback as opposed to going somewhere and being number one and I ain't got no quarterback because guess what skip I'm gonna get two to three passes and people gonna say oh they all can't get it done yeah because I don't have the quarterback that's capable of getting me the football yeah he went and met in a Matthew Stafford show giving him the opportunity yeah Odell can play well and yet what I hated the most for him last night was he is a free agent once again yes he could have commanded big dollars he had finished off this game as as you say a monster game yes and I also think the usfl will would come into play for O'Dell because they're going to want a big gate attraction and I think he will be a big guy well they're gonna have a bunch of money to spend trust me that is interesting I just the last thing he tweeted last night was thank you all for the love and support God always has a plan he made me a Super Bowl champ I'm so grateful so at least he's optimistic in that way and he's got a baby on the way like there's a lot of good things going for obj thank you for watching you can subscribe here to get the latest from the show and be sure to check
