Victor Cruz Says Jaguars' DBs Were
Noah K. Murray-USA TODAY Sports
New York Giants WR Victor Cruz was standing up for his fellow receiver Odell Beckham Jr. on Tuesday, saying that he thought the Jacksonville Jaguars' defensive backs were "gunning" for ODB during their preseason game on Saturday...
quote:

"I was a little unhappy," said Cruz, who did not play due to his calf issue. "I felt like some of those defensive backs were kind of gunning for him."

Cruz added that he was "sad to see that go down."

"I get it, I get it, it's preseason, you're trying to get a job. I understand that. Let's just keep it within the game."
Cruz said he saw that Odell was in the know of the Jags' intentions.
quote:

"From the line, you can see it as you're running your route and you're running a vertical route, and you take a peek at the safety before you look at the ball, and you just see him head down trying to spear you. You can see that from a mile away," Cruz said. "He's a smart kid, he understands that, but it's just unfair. It kind of made me upset watching it."

Pre-season games are useless for fans. If teams want to test the merits of their drafts and "applicants, they should schedule games with opposing teams that have the same situation and keep their starters safe.

you get fined for anything close to dirty play. I hope cruz in confusing tackle football with foul play. maybe he's being brainwashed by the NFL.

Also, let OBJ speak for himself. kind of a backhand jab if you ask me...........insinuating that OBJ is peeking at the safeties instead of focusing on catching the ball. Dont dismiss the fact that Vic my be hurt that the spotlight has shifted focus from him to the young phenom

In prison, "gunning" means masturbating vigorously while looking at a female staff member...

I learned that watching Lock Up.

I wonder if he thinks that way when his line or fullback is aiming at those same db's trying to crush them?

And here I thought a huge part of the game of football was a bunch of people gunning for other people? Lucky for Vic tackling will soon be outlawed.
