Smalltalk » Browns head coach Freddie Kitchens likes Baker

Mayfield‘s ability to escape the pocket and make plays with his leg. But Kitchens won’t take credit for it.Kitchens said that’s an ability a quarterback either has or doesn’t have http://www.bengalsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-michael-jordan-jersey , and Mayfield has it.“I do not really think you can coach anybody on escaping, and if they tell you that they can, then they are lying to you,” Kitchens said. “I think you just got to have to have a feel for the pocket and when it is collapsing or whatever you got to get out of there or sit there and take a sack, and I do not like sacks.”Kitchens said part of his job is to rein in Mayfield to make sure he doesn’t expose himself to unnecessary hits.“I think that is part of it,” Kitchens said. “When you have a skill set like Baker has, that is what you have to determine Greedy Williams Jersey , is when to escape and when to shuffle and move. That is why we are practicing this to get those feel for things, feel for the pocket. I know he is safer inside the pocket. With somebody with that kind of skill, you do not ever want to diminish the fact that he can get outside the pocket because that is where his big plays are created a lot of times. It is just something we are working through and he is working through, and he is continuing to get better at it.”Kitchens was pleased with Mayfield’s performance in the first preseason game, as Kitchens’ offense continued to look like the right fit for Mayfield’s “uncoachable” skill set. At a time when NFL coaches are keeping more and more of their quarterbacks in bubble wrap for the preseason, Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson would prefer to ditch the training wheels.Asked Wednesday to specify the amount of time he’d like to play during the team’s upcoming preseason game against the Cowboys on Saturday, Watson said http://www.brownsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-sione-takitaki-jersey , “The whole game, really, if I had to. I just love to play football. Any time I get to play, especially in the NFL, the best athletes in the world, an opportunity to get on the field on a national stage is a blessing, a great opportunity for anybody. So Sheldrick Redwine Jersey , how much I may play, I have no idea, if I play, but we’ll just have to go from there and whenever my opportunity comes, make sure I do the best I can do.”Apart from his desire to compete even when the competition isn’t actual competition, Watson believes that playing in the preseason is important.“Every chance you get to play and step on that field is very important,” Watson said. “It’s more reps http://www.brownsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-austin-seibert-jersey , so more reps is more experience, and more experience is more confidence and more opportunities for you to improve and get better, and get ready for the real action.”Watson may not feel that way in 10 years. For now, though, he’s still early in his career, and he still gets a thrill out of playing in the preseason. Even if his head coach prefers not to endure the thrill that comes from worrying about Watson getting injured.
