Poll results: Giants’ fans split by Odell Beckham’s comments to ESPN

New York Giants fans appear to be almost evenly split on whether Odell Beckham Jr. was right to speak out the way he did in his recent ESPN interview with Josina Anderson. In our ‘Fanpulse’ poll this week http://www.newyorkgiantsteamonline.com/patrick-omameh-jersey , 52 percent of respondents said that Beckham was wrong to speak out. That means 48 percent thought he was right.Patricia Traina has offered her perspective. I have offered mine. The poll results show us, quite simply, that Beckham’s words have divided the fan base pretty much down the middle.Here are the perspectives of a couple of former Giants greats.On this week’s episode of “Inside The NFL” on Showtime, former Giants quarterback and now long-time NFL analyst Phil Simms said he believed Beckham’s comments will “galvanize” the Giants.Hall of Famer Michael Strahan did a conference call with Giants media on Wednesday. Here is his take:Sign up to take part in our weekly FanPulse surveys. Could Dante Fowler of the Los Angeles Rams be an option for the New York Giants if they are looking to free agency to add an edge player to their defense? Let’s take a closer look at Fowler.The basicsAge: 25 in AugustExperience: 3 (plus one season on IR)2018 stats (two teams): 4.0 sacks http://www.newyorkgiantsteamonline.com/kareem-martin-jersey , 30 tackles, 2 forced fumbles, 6 quarterback hits.2019 cap hit: $1.926 million (fifth-year option declined)Pro Football Focus: Overall grade (68.2) | Run (61.1) | Tackling (32.7) | Pass rush (69.7) | Coverage (66.5)The skinnyThe Jacksonville Jaguars made Fowler the third overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, and he has never really come close to matching the expectations that come with being selected that high.Fowler missed his entire rookie season after suffering a knee injury in his first practice with the Jaguars. He did have 8.0 sacks for Jacksonville in 2017 http://www.newyorkgiantsteamonline.com/aldrick-rosas-jersey , but was 35th among 62 qualifying edge rushers using PFF’s pass rush productivity metric.This season, the Jaguars declined his fifth-year option, then traded him to the Rams at midseason for a 2019 third-round pick and a 2020 fifth-round selection. He had two sacks in eight games with Los Angeles, and his pass rush productivity score was 47th among 56 qualifying edge players.When he joined the Rams http://www.newyorkgiantsteamonline.com/will-hernandez-jersey , Fowler said this:In December, SB Nation’s Rams website, Turf Show Times, seemed to be on the fence as to whether or not the team should keep Fowler beyond the 2018 season. Rams fans might feel more attached to Fowler now after he made a game-changing hit on New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees that led to an overtime interception in the NFC Championship Game.Still http://www.newyorkgiantsteamonline.com/b.j.-goodson-jersey , how much is a player like this worth? Would he be worth the risk for the Giants should they move on from Olivier Vernon?There is talent there, and perhaps untapped potential. Still, the Jaguars never saw him as a starter. There were a pair of arrests, one leading to a one-game suspension that kept him off the field when Jacksonville opened the 2018 season against the Giants.What do you think? Should the Giants be interested or not?
