Pat Shurmur Publicly Disagrees with OBJ’s “Giants Need Heart” Comment

“I asked anybody that was interested if they wanted clarification to go to Odell, cause he’s a big man.”

Odell Beckham Jr. recently expressed his concerns for the New York Giants’ 1-3 start in an interview with ESPN’s Josina Anderson

He essentially connected the lack of heart and energy to the team’s poor performance.

“So a lot of it has to do with the energy that we don’t have, that we don’t bring every single day,” Beckham said. “And you know me. I’m a passionate, energetic person. I always have to have that. If I don’t, it’s gonna be a problem for me. And just playing with some heart. We just need to play with some heart.

Giants Head coach Pat Shurmur bluntly did not feel the same sentiment when asked about Beckham Jr.’s comments Sunday:

“I publicly declared that I didn’t agree with [Odell Beckham Jr’s] comments and I asked anybody that was interested if they wanted clarification go to Odell, cause he’s a big man.”

The Giants lost Sunday on a game-winning 63-yard field go by the Carolina Panthers, dropping the team’s record to 1-4 season.
