FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Brandon Marshall thinks OBJ needs some TLC from the Giants.The New York Jets wide receiver said Wednesday that the Giants need to keep their criticisms of star Odell Beckham Jr. in-house and rally behind him outside the public eye.Marshall was asked Wednesday his opinion on the situation that is brewing between the Giants and Beckham, who has had a few emotional outbursts on the field and the sideline this season.Those guys over there need to be really careful, Marshall said. 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.Beckham has said hes no longer having fun playing football, and Giants coach Ben McAdoo and quarterback Eli Manning have criticized his behavior.Coach coming out and saying, `He needs to do ..., nah, thats the wrong way, Marshall said. Youre playing with fire right there.Marshall has dealt with his own issues with teammates and coaches during his career, and spoke to Beckham recently about handling his situation. Marshall added that Beckham has done and said things he absolutely doesnt agree with.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 to his teammates.Especially when Beckhams teammates and coaches are constantly being asked questions about his behavior.When your teammates have to answer that question over and over, thats when it becomes a problem, Marshall said. So I think that he can channel it a bit better, but theres a thin line. He has to be himself. Monday night, he was not himself. Thats not good for them.Beckham was held to three catches for a career-low 23 yards in the Giants 24-10 loss at Minnesota, a game in which he drew an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for exchanging words with Vikings cornerback Xavier Rhodes.I just have to understand if I sneeze the wrong way, itll be a flag, itll be a fine, Beckham said after the game. If I tie my shoe the wrong way, it might be a fine or a flag. It is what it is. You have to understand that.During the Giants previous game against Washington, a frustrated Beckham took a swipe at a kicking net and McAdoo spoke to the star receiver several times to calm him. Beckham has lost $130,000 in salary because of fines or suspensions in just two-plus seasons.Despite all that, Marshall doesnt believe the solution is for the Giants to bench Beckham.If they bench him ... hes the best player in the NFL right now, Marshall said. I would say top-five players.But, then, couldnt the Giants be accused of enabling a player who many might perceive as needing a timeout?Keep it in-house, Marshall said. Thats the best way to do it. Hes still young. Hes 23 years old and he has a lot of growing to do.Marshall added that he will someday write a paper on the psyche of superstars, particularly wide receivers and me-me-me guys, and the pressure to perform under a very public microscope. He thinks the perception by many that players who constantly ask for the ball -- as Marshall himself does -- are selfish, is mostly inaccurate. Marshall said its the desire to win, and the thought that they give their team an even better chance at doing so when theyre able to make plays.The guy loves football, man, Marshall said of Beckham. Hes a great talent. Theres a lot of pressure on him. Theres two cameras on him every Sunday, and its part of the process. LeBron James went through it, too. This comes with the territory of being a superstar. ... Hes going to be OK.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Wholesale Royals Jerseys .

I am looking at your defense, I am looking at turnovers, I am looking at your execution of things.I was made aware after the game of all the records.
