Cleveland, Ohio – If the Browns are 100% committed to Baker Mayfield – and all indications are that they are – they should trade Odell Beckham Jr.
Beckham and Mayfield took off during Sunday’s 68-38 defeat to the Ravens, where they departed last season, scoring just three of 10 goals for 23 yards in their careers for the second-lowest yard output.
Disconnect is still there, and it’s real.
Beckham was once again devoting time to work as a solution, but the season is upon us, and there is no time for it. The Bengals are coming to town on Thursday night and that is another important AFC North game. A 0-2 start is almost a kiss of death to make play.
“Obviously, Sunday wasn’t what we wanted … but there would be a way to get more sports delegates,” Beckham said at the Zoom conference on Tuesday.
Beckham sang that all avoided last season, and that never changed. Beckham has had the least productive games in the NFL since he is in the Mayfield duo.
* His 23 yards mark the fourth time in 17 Browse games that Beckham has produced in the 20s – his time here is 23.5%. In perspective, out of 59 games with the Giants, he had only two games in the 20s – 3.3% of the time.
* Here in his 17 games six times he had three catches or less – 35% games. In New York, he caught three of the games in or less than three times – his games were %%.
The AFC North is particularly lacking in its build, with 21 receptions of 296 yards and two touchdowns in seven games, three of which were wins. That’s an average of three catches for y૨ yards, much lower than the Browns expected when they traded first- and third-round picks and Gabriel Pepper for him.
In Baltimore, Beckham, a three-time pro bowler, could not get the ball for about four minutes in the second quarter, and by then he was already frustrated. He was flagged for a facemask penalty on his first goal, and then downed a crucial third and 2 passes in the red zone that could help close the gap to 17-13 at the end of the first half.
He admitted that he likes to participate early.
“It’s like a shooter that puts a couple 3s earlier and you hit one, like, God knows you can drop 60, you know what I mean?” Beckham said of the early reception, “I’d love to attend early, but it didn’t go that way on Sunday. And as I said, you would sometimes give your hats to another team. They just came out. And they just got better than us.” Played. “
Beckham was hurt to explain why he and Mayfield lack chemistry, but Mayfield doesn’t shed light on it with anyone else. He passed only 53.8% and got a 65.0 rating after throwing a touchdown pass and an interception.
“I’ve never played quarterback, so it’s very hard to put yourself in someone else’s shoes,” Beckham said. “As a receiver, you’re like a man, I’m open!” Or this or that, and it’s just impossible for me to think about whether it’s going through there or there’s pressure or if there’s something going on.
“I know there’s a lot on his plate. I know none of us played the way we wanted to play on Sunday. All you have to do is give the hats to Raven. They came out there, they were a better team, they beat it [expletive] Is out of us and we push it forward. “
While Beckham was speaking, Mike Francisa of WFN Radio in New York tweeted that he heard the Browns were buying receivers and that they would not come cheap. He also said Beckham is not the problem, suggesting Mayfield is.
One big problem is Beckham’s હ 14.25 million cap hit this year. Most teams are cap-striped at the moment, so trading is not easy.
But Beckham has repeatedly confessed his admiration for Bill Belichick, and he is very close to the Patriots quarterback Cam Newton, with whom he worked in The Fishon. The Patriots have a second-cap cap of .6 31.627 million for the Browns, so they can definitely afford it.
Beckham also loves Tom Brady, but the books only have 65 3.651 million cap space. They are also set on the receiver.
Beckham insisted he just wanted to win, and raising his hand was not about reaching his personal goals.
“I feel in a way that makes me feel like I’ve been misrepresented in the world, it’s hard to live with it,” Beckham said. “It feels like, ‘Oh, I just want the ball’ and all these things when really, I just want to help. I want to help this team the way I can.
“You’ve got the kind of role-playing spirit and you have to believe that the coach will get you in the right position and we can go from there. I don’t make much noise about that thing and it could be my fault and something that I need to learn from. Like I said, it’s the first game. ”
He admitted that he should be careful about his body language during sports so that he does not look stressed.
“That’s the way my life has gone.” He said. “You have to see everything you do. If you don’t get a response from someone you will have a title written about you. The spotlight will be on me, right, wrong or indifferent.”
Mayfield noted that he, Beckham and Capin Stefansky would have to work together to fix the problem.
“It only takes three of us to stay on one page,” Mayfield said. For myself, going through my reading, trusting those readers and delivering the ball based on what he reads tells me. I think we had something great since Sunday there have been one chance after another on some of those passes but just not connected there were some penalties, grubs and pass interference we talked about.
“We’re working on it so we can fix it.”
Mayfield said any suggestion of pushing the ball to Beckham – especially on the early drive of the third quarter when he went to him six times – would go where readers take him.
“If you guys were watching it, there were a lot, and we take one matchup after another.” He said, “I trust that person, and that’s what they’re paid to do. Then there is a play …. it must have felt [like forcing], But it’s one matchup after another. “
Mayfield admits that “it has to come naturally. Naturally, you plan the game and you plan things out to get the ball in the hands of your playmakers, but when it comes time for the game, they’re going to give us a definite look that takes it. We played a couple early starts for him, and the Ravens did a good job of taking it away so we had to go through the reading and take the ball into other people’s hands.
“When it comes to the game, yes, you can practice, you can practice, you can practice and you can have a certain look all week in practice, but then it’s game time they show you something different. And you have to react, play and just move on. It has to come naturally. ”
He acknowledged that going to Beckham alone may not be the right decision. The Ravens ’Pro Bowl corners, Marlon Humphrey and Marcus Peters, won their share of those matchups, and there were often better places to go with the ball.
“Yes, when that warning goes through your head that we have one with him and you want to get him off, but to do that you have to have the right scenario and the right situation,” he said.
We heard the same thing last season, and not good for the frustrated Beckham Browns.
The time may come for him to let her try to find a new home.
