EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- For those who thought Eli Manning was getting a little tired of the weekly antics of Odell Beckham Jr. -- guess again.The New York Giants veteran quarterback said Tuesday that everything is just fine between him and the 23-year-old receiver who had a career day Sunday, catching eight passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns in a 27-23 win over the Baltimore Ravens.In a radio interview Monday, Manning gave an answer that seemed to indicate his was tired of Beckhams antics after the wide out was flagged for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for taking off his helmet following a winning 66-yard catch and run.The extra 15 yards gave Baltimore better field position for its final drive, which reached the Giants 24-yard line.Manning insisted the tired remark referred to the media being tired of writing every week about Beckhams emotions, rants, tiffs and interactions with the kicking net on the Giants sideline after big plays.Im fine with it, said Manning, who threw for 403 yards and three touchdowns in the win. Hes doing a lot of good things and playing the game the right way. He just has to make sure the celebrations and whats going on arent hurting the team in any way.Manning said he gets asked about Beckham every time he talks. He answers all the questions.Odell and I have a great relationship. We talk about a lot of things, Manning said. Were on the same page. He knows that Im always looking out for him and understands that you can say things that can get taken one way. Odell and I are on the same page. I get asked multiple questions about him every week.Beckham could face a tough opponent this week as the Giants (3-3) get ready to play the Los Angeles Rams (3-3) in London.The teams met two years ago, and the Rams tried to bully Beckham.Thats everyone, Manning said. We have to understand that we have to be smart and play football. We dont need the extracurricular activities. We just have to go out there and do our job. Keep it about football. Shouldnt be that hard.All Manning wants this week is for Beckham to just play well and make plays.I want him to have celebrations and dance. Im fine with that, Manning said. I want the team to go out there and win games. Its fun. That was a fun locker room after the (Ravens) game. Exciting locker room. It should be all positive stuff.For him to go out there and have his best game, maybe of his career, 200 yards in receptions and then afterward, to be kind of a bad spin on things. You dont want that. He should be happy about that and celebrating. Not have to deal with the side drama of it.The Giants have altered their schedule to get ready for the game in England. Once they finish practice here on Thursday, most their game play will be done. That usually does not happen on road games until they travel on Saturdays.Friday and Saturday will be different, Manning said. Just get your sleep and get back to some of your studying. Should keep basically the same schedule as we have all year from a preparation standpoint.---AP NFL websites: http://pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Tony Gonzalez Womens Jersey .

Note: The Calgary Flames announced Tuesday that Sean Monahan would not be made available to Canadas World Junior team. For J.T. Barrett, Ohio States on-again, off-again quarterback since 2014 who is finally entrenched as the Buckeyes offensive leader, the visit Saturday to No. 14 Oklahoma represents nothing new.Though Barrett missed the College Football Playoff and the Big Ten title game as a redshirt freshman, he won at Michigan State and Minnesota, both nationally ranked. Last year, Barrett started and won at Michigan and steered the Buckeyes to a Fiesta Bowl defeat of Notre Dame.Hes not likely to feel the heat of the moment at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium Saturday as third-ranked Ohio State visits in a game with big playoff implications for the Big Ten and Big 12.So just how are the Sooners supposed to get to Barrett?It might help to back off on the blitz. Barrett is a dual-threat QB by nature and dangerous outside the pocket, but he has looked this year and in 2015 to run less often than in his breakout rookie season.And he eats the blitz alive.According to research by ESPN Stats & Information, Barrett has completed 67.2 percent of his passes over the past two seasons against five or more rushers, throwing touchdowns and one interception -- better in all areas than his production against a standard rush.He also throws the deep ball better than ever this year, for what its worth. Four of his six touchdowns have covered more than 15 yards, and his completion percentage is up 8.5 points to 50 on throws of 15 yards or more.He knows (the system) really well, Oklahoma defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said. What they want to do and how they want to attack you. Theyve got a lot of offense and that experience helps.Oklahoma, meanwhile, has blitzed under defensive coordinator Mike Stoops on 13 percent of dropback passes in the past two years against mobile quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes II of Texas Tech, Deshaun Watson of Clemson and Houstons Greg Ward Jr.Mahomes, Watson and Ward were sacked twice on those plays while completing 7 of 13 passes for 119 yards and one touchdown.Let the chess match begin.Watson and Ward chewed up the Sooners. In two of Oklahomas past three games, it has faced elite mobile quarterbacks -- and lost. Barrett can make it three of four on Saturday, extending a recent troubling trend for the Sooners.Clemsonn outscored OU 21-0 in the second half last year in the CFP semifinal at the Orange Bowl en route to a 37-17 win.ddddddddddddWatson gouged Oklahoma for 145 rushing yards. To open this season, Ward was equally effective, throwing for 321 yards as Houston scored 20 of the final 26 points to win 33-23.Together, Watson and Ward helped their teams convert 18 of 37 third-down opportunities (48.6 percent) against Oklahoma -- nearly 10 percentage points higher than the Sooners third-down defensive rate in the first 12 games last season.Ohio State, meanwhile, converts 59.3 percent of its third downs this year, eighth nationally, signaling a possible offensive resurgence after its percentage dipped last year from 52 perecent, third nationally in 2014, to 40.7 percent.Do the math, and youll see that the closer Oklahoma keeps Barrett and the Buckeyes to 40 percent on third downs, the better the Sooners chances to fare well against the mobile QB.Even before Oklahomas notable recent woes against Watson and Ward, it showed a tendency to struggle more against mobile quarterbacks than pocket passers.In its 10 losses prior to last New Years Eve, four came against quarterbacks who rushed for more than 475 yards in the seasons they beat Oklahoma -- Jerrod Heard of Texas in 2015, Jake Waters of Kansas State and TCUs Trevone Boykin in 2014 and Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M in 2012.Notre Dames Everett Golson in 2012, another threat to escape the pocket, also beat Oklahoma.So for Barrett, it likely means hes best suited to use his athleticism on Saturday. The Ohio State quarterback rushed for 938 yards and 11 touchdowns as a freshman but has preferred since to stay in the pocket slightly more often.He rushed for 682 yards in 2015 and has gained 85 on the ground this year while throwing from outside the pocket on 13 percent of his passes, a career low. Nevertheless, Barretts outside-the-pocket completion rate of 57 percent this season is a career high.Either hes more comfortable on the move, or hes benefited from facing the subpar defenses of Bowling Green and Tulsa.Well likely learn the answer on Saturday in Norman.
