EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Odell Beckham Jr. is a bit disappointed that he won't see Darrelle Revis on Sunday when his New York Giants play the Jets. Beckham was looking forward to matching up with one of the great cornerbacks in the game, seeing how he'd do against him. But just because Revis looks as though he'll miss this game due to a concussion doesn't mean Beckham isn't working hard on his preparation.

Beckham said he'd been in contact, of course, with Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jarvis Landry about the Jets. Landry and Beckham are best friends who talk every day, so naturally Beckham has been picking Landry's brain. Landry had 13 catches for 165 yards and a touchdown in a loss to the Jets last week and has played them four times in the past two seasons. But Beckham also has spoken with close friend DeAndre Hopkins of the Houston Texans, who played the Jets in Week 11, and was planning to call Amari Cooper of the Oakland Raiders, who played the Jets in Week 8.

"I think that happens a little more than we all realize," Giants offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo said. "It's their own culture. I think a lot of guys talk, in and out of the locker room and with guys in different locker rooms. They have their own mini-game plan, the players do. I think that's a neat part of our league that you don't really get to hear a lot about."

Beckham pays attention, and by the time we spoke to him Thursday he'd heard about what the Jets' defenders said about the importance of playing his hands the way Malcolm Butler of the Patriots did a few weeks back. The comments perplexed Beckham.

"I mean, that's their job, to knock the ball out of your hands," Beckham said. "So it's kind of surprising that somebody is just now saying that."

The fact of the matter is that, without Revis, the Jets are going to have to be creative in finding ways to cover Beckham and limit the damage he can do. He's caught five touchdown passes and averaged 120.3 receiving yards over the past four games, and he ranks fourth in the league with 1,005 receiving yards for the season. McAdoo said the Giants had one game plan that accounted for Revis and a different one in case he didn't play, but both likely included a ton of throws to Beckham, who's been targeted on 35 percent of Eli Manning's passes the past three weeks.

"It's just about being on the same page," Beckham said. "It's really the littlest things. It could have been your angle 20-something yards down the field on a 'go' ball. There's so many things that play a factor in completions. One inch out of position and the play can be made the other way. So we talked about it Tuesday and right after the game, just being on the same page."

They are and will stay there, and the Jets won't be at full strength on the back end trying to stop it Sunday.
