Dein erstes Forum » Baker Mayfield reflects on lessons learned from NFL

debut As experienced as he is Womens Customized Cleveland Browns Jerseys , Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield isn’t resting on his laurels after his NFL debut.Mayfield, 23, has all the confidence in the world after lighting up the college football landscape for four years while earning every accolade possible. He has this self-confident charisma that’s infectious—contagious, some say.But after his first start ended in a disappointing loss, No. 6 isn’t resting on those past accomplishments and glossing over the lessons learned effort of this process. And it is a process, there are no shortcuts to climbing to the heights he believes he can take the Browns. “Yeah, fortunately, I had a lot of experience in college. Now, it is just about translating my experience – things that I have seen and different keys that I have used – but also then learning and growing from that,” Mayfield said during Wednesday’s player media availability. “Having an open mind about it. Not saying, ‘I have played a lot of ball. I have it all figured out,’ but having an open mind and realizing that I have a lot of room to grow.”That’s some pretty solid reflection by the rookie. As good as he has been and thinks he is, and masses of Browns fans hope he can be, no measure of success will come without challenging himself. That means not only strengthening his weaknesses but having the courage and awareness to identify and confront them.“There are definitely things that I could have seen better. There is always going to be give and take,” Mayfield added. “Whether you win or lose, there are going to be plays that I would like to have back or do differently. It is what it is. Just have to learn from it.”What, specifically, can Mayfield identify as one of those key lessons he learned in his team’s Week 4 loss in Oakland?“Making sure that we are all on the same page,” Mayfield said. “I think that communication is very important with that and just the little details. I keep harping on that, but that is the most important thing. “We have to be fundamentally sound because we have all of the talent. We just have to do our job.”Mayfield also addressed his interception near the end of regulation as a key learning point. The Browns were driving at the Raiders’ 49-yard line and were approaching field-goal range for a game-winning try before his deep shot to Antonio Callaway was plucked away by veteran Reggie McKenzie.“To go through it, like the interception at the end of regulation, just go through my read, even though we had a double move just to put us in a good opportunity to win,” said Mayfield. “Do not push too much. Do not try to do too much.”Mayfield’s worst decision of the game cost his team a chance to win in regulation. He said in hindsight he realizes he shouldn’t have thrown it, and he implied he was locked onto Callaway as his primary target on the play.“Yeah, even though we tag a deep route on it and we are trying to take a shot – we had been hitting some of those plays underneath – you have to go through your reads no matter what the play call is,” Mayfield admitted. “No matter if you want to take a shot, you have to go through your reads no matter what it is. You can never let the game and your emotions get the best of you. You just have to do the fundamentals.”Mayfield’s going to make better decisions in those moments Baker Mayfield Jersey Elite , but the only way to learn those lessons is by playing and making those mistakes. From a talent perspective, he showed all the positive traits we saw from him in college and throughout preseason.His pocket presence and ability to make those important secondary reads were both on display for much of the game. And his arm again looked every bit as advertised, more than live enough to make all the big league throws.With a healthy dose of humility, and a continued zealous approach to perfection, it’s going to be a fun ride watching Mayfield make these improvements and become the player many think he’s capable of becoming.Getting reacquainted with Seth DeValve, the Browns’ forgotten man Cleveland Browns tight end Seth DeValve missed most of training camp and every preseason game with a quad injury, and some questioned whether his making the team’s roster made much sense. DeValve injured his quad on July 29 and hasn’t really been seen or heard from since.Those concerns amplified after he played just six snaps—did he actually play, because this feels like it’s becoming a Sasquatch-like conspiracy—in Week 1 before mysteriously showing up on the injury report and was declared out with a hamstring injury the day before the Browns’ Week 2 matchup in New Orleans.To recap, DeValve had a quad injury that kept him out for over one month, and then he barely played in Week 1—prove to me he did play, please, for my sanity. Then he practiced for a week, wasn’t listed on the team’s injury report, and then he went back on the injury report with a new injury.Got it. Whew.Remember, that Saturday was the same day Josh Gordon was surprisingly deactivated, and then Browns announced they were going to release him, then they decided they’d rather maybe trade him instead. Let’s be real, a lot has happened over the first three weeks of the Browns’ 2018 campaign. So it’s understandable that DeValve’s absence has been overshadowed.He then missed Week 3, too.There’s an odd silence in Berea concerning a player who snagged 33 passes and 395 yards in a secondary tight end role last season—both were second-highest on the team behind Duke Johnson, which speaks volumes about the team’s receiver room last year. Starter David Njoku caught one fewer pass and finished with eight fewer yards, although he did have four touchdowns to DeValve’s single score.The silence is getting a little odd considering he’s been pegged as such an integral player, and was retained for so long despite his total absence from the team’s season to this point. For a guy affectionately nicknamed Baby Gronk—like every other up-and-coming tight end in the league, apparently—and who carried significant expectations heading into this season, it’s just a little weird.As of this writing, DeValve has been a limited participant throughout the week leading up to Cleveland’s Week 4 West Coast trip to the Bay Area. Throughout all of this, none of the everyday Browns beat writers have asked about him, and no coaches have offered up any information about his status, or his role with the team when he gets healthy.Perhaps that’s because he’s close to getting back on the field http://www.clevelandbrownsteamonline.com/baker-mayfield-jersey , and all of this is much ado about pretty much nothing. But not for nothing, DeValve matters for the Browns, and here’s why.Through three weeks, the Browns have ran 33 percent of their plays with two or more tight ends—21 percent with two and 12 percent with three tight ends, per SharpFootballStats.com. For reference, they ran just 25 percent of their plays with two or more tight ends last season. Instead of having adolescent Gronk out there, Todd Haley has been trotting out Orson Charles and Darren Fells to fill those snaps, and the results haven’t been great. Although Charles doesn’t do much of anything exceptionally well, he has been pegged as a utility player while serving as the team’s primary H-back lead-blocker for Carlos Hyde. Sure, that’s a role, but Charles doesn’t seem to offer much in the form of pass-catching, and he hasn’t exactly been a prolific blocker to this point, either. Credit his sticking on the roster to Hue Jackson’s familiarity with him in Cincinnati, and John Dorsey’s having brought him to Kansas City in 2017. And DeValve’s ghost act probably hasn’t hurt his longevity.Fells has been, for the most part, also less than spectacular. For what he’s asked to do, he does adequately get it done, so it’s fine. He’s a big body, but he also doesn’t offer much in terms of pass-catching.For Haley, having DeValve back in the lineup will allow him to get more creative with his formations. The experienced coordinator may no longer need to utilize three tight ends if he’s able to be more threatening with two receiving threats from the position, but he could accomplish both. While you might point out that the team may not end up utilizing as many three tight end sets once DeValve’s back, last year’s tendencies are not really predictive of how things will go under Haley’s play-calling.Added 13 personnel looks was something some of us expected to see more of this season, with Fells, Njoku, and DeValve providing matchup and deception problems for opposing defenses. That’s still a possibility, and it wouldn’t be the least bit surprising if we start seeing it as soon as DeValve finally gets onto the field.Whenever that might be.
