CLEVLAND, Ohio – The Giants coach just loves Blipping Baker Mayfield. No, it really does.
At a zoom conference with Baker Club reporters, he fired a description of Baker Mayfield’s game-style fire – he dropped an F-bomb – knocked out a muted group – and then apologized and told him to stick to the record.
Of course, Mayfield, the beer-shit tugging dude that he is, loved that the judge did it.
“I’m passionate about the game, so I appreciate it,” Mayfield said at his Zoom conference. “I want to bring that kind of stuff when you see the tape. You want to be able to feel it. I’ve told you that I want to be authoritative and lead these people. “
All the judges had to flip on the tape of Mayfield’s three games this season to find out what was against him in Sunday night football at MetLife Stadium: his -337–34 win against the Bengals, in which Mayfield threw five touchdown passes, completed 21 straight and Threw a gamewinning touchdown pass with 11 seconds left; His -31–35 victory over the Titans, in which he threw four TD passes in the first half, and a 47-4-44 defeat against the Ravens on Monday night, in which he brought his team back from a two-14-point loss and dropped three. Touch it down in the fourth quarter and tie it at 42 with 1:04 left.
Mayfield, 9-4 this season and the gun for the playoffs, won’t talk about feeling dangerous anymore, but teams know it’s a professional risk to play it these days. A team that improved to 5-8 by winning four of their last five and upset the Seahawks two weeks ago.
“Obviously, I’ve seen this guy for many years,” the judge said. “The thing is, this guy is a select competitor. He really is. He’s a tough guy. You know his story. How he got out of college Went through, had to walk twice, got two starting jobs.Look, it’s no coincidence that this guy is having tremendous success in the National Football.L League.I like the F-ing attitude I play with very much, I love the chipness that is played with it. “
Mayfield isn’t the NFL’s most mobile person – in fact, Rashard Higgins recently said that his slide in the final zone for creating Higgins ’paparazzi and instant photos on the red carpet in Tennessee was a weakness so far. Do it – but the judge noticed it was as slippery as hell.
“This guy prolongs the plays,” the judge said. “It’s really fun to watch one thing he does – and you want to get rid of those fun elements while you’re playing it – but when it’s really condensed out of pocket, he finds those little seams. Mobile. A lot of the quarterbacks you say really rely on just losing ground and gaining edge and really using their speed.This guy does a great job of playing the freeze tag at the phone booth and coming out the winner.
“He really makes his way out, expands the game and he can either run the ball vertically or throw it down the field. Look, this guy is a fierce competitor. He has a strong hand, no question. It can throw everyone. It really connects to the bootlegs and the game-actions away from the game they have.
“Look, with (Nick) Chubb and (Cream) Hunt, there are these two elite backs of the league. You put those three together, Chubb, Hunt and then Baker, the three of them really complement each other across the board. They have a very good offensive line, and they have a great receiving corps. This is a very talented group. ”
Mayfield, who is ranked 12th in the NFL with his .6 rating..6 rating – 10 places in two weeks – has regained the grove since November 8 last week and has been playing with all the moxies and swaggers that John Dorsey has. Drafted. He is back in 2018 overall No. 1. Oklahoma Baker is back. The 2018 baker who popped open beer coolers across the city with his win over the Jets.
Kevin Stefansky and offensive coordinator Alex van Pelt have seen it. They knew that the confidence of their franchise QB was saluting the flag and they went to work to restore it. By the weekend they listened to him – really listened – and gave him things that he felt invincible, bringing him into the field. More items like play- and action and keepers and shotguns. Hollywood goes through Higgins which makes them both feel like stars.
“When he walks like this, he doesn’t miss,” said Nick Chube. “We all know that. We all like it. We can’t get on the field when it’s like this, third down, fourth down, that. “So, yes, I think the whole team looks, we think, brings everyone into the game.”
Defense also seems. When Mayfield is out, like he’s playing, uh, he owns the venue, he can’t help but be fed.
“It’s poetry in motion,” another said to Goods. “It’s simple. It’s beautiful. It’s beautiful to look at. Yes, it’s dynamic poetry.”
Mayfield, who will go to work against the NFL’s 11th-ranked defense on Sunday night – 7th against the run and 17th against the pass – admitted that a buy week is a turning point for him. Taking a vague look at all his distractions helped, and so did an honest talk with his coach.
“It was a conversation about where we are as a crime, what we are doing well and what we are not doing well, we should be able to evaluate.” Mayfield said. “The conversations we were able to go through, like how I see it and the only things we missed without any prison games in any se fission, the important conversations that we were able to get more on the same page.
“We’re seeing it now, but yes you’re right, playing with confidence is where I’m at my best. Trusting these calls, trusting my eyes, and going through them, and trusting the people around me. ”
For example, when backing up in its final zone, take its hurdle against Ravens. Which J. Dobbins scored from the first play to the first play down his throat. Stefansky publicly took the blame for calling Higgins a short pass, and he didn’t want to mess up his QB. He needs an uncontrolled, unbridled Mayfield right now, so that a pick can get into his head.
“He’s the type of person he always wants to blame,” Mayfield said. “We just had a direct conversation and he said it was my fault. I said it was my fault. The most important play we have is to move forward. It’s just a very clear relationship and an open line of conversation. ”
Stefansky loves the moxie he sees, the confidence that began to wane last season when Mayfield played in the now-giants ’tight-end coach Freddie Kitchens’ messy, divided and dissatisfied offense.
“Baker is obviously playing at a high level,” Stefansky said. “He doesn’t lack confidence, and I say well. You want Trigger Man to play freely and confidently, and I see that with Baker. He understands he will have to do it again this week. These challenges keep coming in front of you. ”
That’s exactly what the judge is afraid of.
