OBJ doesn't regret criticizing offense, believes it motivated Giants

Odell Beckham Jr. made headlines for his critical comments about the New York Giants' fledgling offense prior to Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers, but the star wideout said he has "no regrets" about speaking out after the 33-31 loss.

Beckham expressed his frustration with New York's "safe" offense, his connection with Eli Manning, and his lack of chances to make downfield plays in an interview with ESPN's Josina Anderson.

"I don't regret anything," Beckham said, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan. "I don't regret anything that I said. If it took that for us to come together as a team like we did (Sunday), I can take that every single time."

Beckham met individually with Manning and head coach Pat Shurmur to address his concerns, and later spoke to the entire team.

"It was very receptive," he said of the team meeting. "I'm happy I did because there was a part of me that was a little reluctant or didn't want to because it was a tough position. It was a hard thing to do. It was part of the growth process I'm going through. And if I could do it all again I would do the same thing."

The pass-catcher did his part Sunday, catching eight passes for 131 yards and one touchdown. He also tossed a score to Saquon Barkley to help kick-start New York's offense.

With Beckham's issues seemingly resolved, Shurmur wants the team to move forward.

"Alright, listen, I'm going to answer all the drama questions right now and I'm going to go back to what I said. I addressed it with Odell. I addressed it with our team," Shurmur said in an animated tone, according to Raanan.

"I publicly declared that I didn't agree with his comments and I asked anybody that was interested if they wanted clarification (to) go to Odell because he's a big man. Now, I'm not going to give the public a pound of flesh on this, alright. That would make me small not strong."
