Browns Star Myles Garrett Sends Strong Message on QB Baker Mayfield — J.R. De Groote, Heavy.com
"“He’s made some great plays, he’s made some not-so-great plays. So have all of us, so don’t judge him for when he was injured or coming back from COVID. I mean, the guy can play. Until the end of the season and whatever happens afterwards, we’re going to stay together and we’re going to keep on rolling.”"
Myles Garrett is one of the leaders of this team, so his words will carry a lot of weight. It was nice to see him stand up for Mayfield, but now Baker needs to go out there and deliver.
"“Though the Browns were hustling, the play they ran should have worked. Mayfield fired to David Njoku, the only open receiver and clearly the right read. But what would have been a 9-yard gain and a first down fell incomplete as the pass was behind Njoku. It was a Mayfield miss.”"
Everyone is worried about the missed pass interference on Donovan Peoples-Jones, but it wouldn’t have mattered at all if Mayfield hit the wide-open David Njoku. That play would have put them in field goal range, but it was one of many misfires.
Safety John Johnson III not a fan of the Browns offensive playcalling — Jeff Risdon, Browns Wire
"“Safety John Johnson III, who is sitting out Saturday’s game with an injured hamstring, tweeted out some criticism of the Browns offense during the game. Johnson’s simple tweet was something that a lot of Browns fans were thinking:”"
Johnson simply said to “run the damn ball.” This came after one of four Baker interceptions. There were those who thought it was a shot at head coach — and play-caller — Kevin Stefanski. It may have been. But it may not have been. Either way, it’s not the best look as it paints a picture of a team with a lot of inner turmoil.
