FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall waded into the?Odell Beckham Jr.?firestorm Wednesday, fiercely defending Beckham and claiming the New York Giants are playing with fire by speaking out publicly about his behavior.Those guys over there need to be really careful, Marshall said Wednesday. They dont need to be speaking out on their teammate. They need to keep that in-house because they could lose him. Im being honest.They need to rally behind him and give him the support he needs and handle that stuff in-house, whether good or bad, because whether they like it or not: Hes the best player on that team.Marshall, 32, once regarded as a problem child, reached out to Beckham last week after the receivers sideline tantrum against the?Washington Redskins. Beckham had another blowup in Monday nights loss to the Minnesota Vikings.Hes the type of guy that he can play with anger, he can play with rage, Marshall said. Thats not a distraction for him. He doesnt need a sports psychologist for that because hes still going to make that magnificent, one-handed catch.The problem is it may be a distraction for his teammates. There are some things that hes done where guys dont want to answer the same question every single week. As far as him personally needing help, he doesnt need help. Hes still going to produce and be the beast he is.Marshall scoffed at the notion the Giants would be best served by benching Beckham.Thats not good business, he said.Marshall acknowledged that Beckham can channel [his anger] a bit better, but theres a thin line. He has to be himself. Monday night, he was not himself. Thats not good for them, the coach coming out and saying, He needs to do this. No, thats the wrong way. Youre playing with fire right there.The Giants dont want to see Beckham change, either. They still want him to play with the same fire that helped him set the NFL record for most receiving yards in his first two professional seasons.I think he has great passion for the game and a great desire to be one heck of a player, and one thing Id hate to see him lose is that drive and that passion, Giants coach Ben McAdoo said. I like him as a salty, competitive player. That is when he plays at his best. We just need to be productive when were doing it.Beckham has six unsportsmanlike conduct, unnecessary roughness or taunting penalties in 31 career games. But quarterback Eli Manning remained unconcerned after Monday nights latest infraction for taunting.Well, again, I dont know if he shouldve been called for it. He felt he was hit late. He didnt hit anybody late, Manning said. He seemed to be complaining more to the ref about it than anything. He obviously got called for taunting. I dont know if that was a taunting necessarily.He had one incident last year that I feel is inappropriate with [Josh] Norman, and since that I dont think hes done anything that has been harmful to another player. So I dont think its a big deal.Marshall called Beckham one of the top five players in the NFL, claiming theres a lot of pressure on him.There are two cameras on him every Sunday, Marshall said. Its part of the process. LeBron James went through it, too. This comes with the territory of being a superstar. It comes with it. Hes going to be OK.ESPN Giants reporter Jordan Raanan contributed to this report.? Willie McGee . Thats about all he can do right now, so hes trying not to think about when he might be able to play again for the Los Angeles Lakers. Tyler Webb . Nine days before the opening ceremony, organizing committee chief Dmitry Chernyshenko said Wednesday that Sochi is "fully ready" and will deliver safe, friendly and well-run games that defy the grim reports that have overshadowed preparations. http://www.custommlbcardinalsjersey.com/custom-roger-maris-jersey-large-521q.html .
