Pat Shurmur insisted he wasn’t criticizing Odell Beckham Jr. when he praised kicker Aldred Rosas during an interview on WFAN for having “the mentality of a football player. He doesn’t care if he’s had a good night sleep, doesn’t care if he’s hydrated.”
Some listeners took that to mean the head coach was calling out Beckham, who has missed time during games while getting IV injections and said he doesn’t like drinking water.
“Not at all,’’ Shurmur said Wednesday. “It’s not a shot at anybody. … That answer had nothing to do with any other player other than to compliment the fact that [Rosas] is a tough son of a gun and I appreciate him as a player.
