Baker Mayfield Thread

  • Watching some of his early pre-season stuff and finally some of the tape from the last couple games of the regular season - one of the things I drilled home was Baker's need to improve his ball fake.    Not only from the extension itself but the footwork coupled with it.      

    Week 1 out the gate, from his first play.  The two handed grasp, the questionable footwork coming from under center, the poor extension...    the attention to detail is what makes good become great.    In this clip, Baker was nothing near great in that regard.

    Last home game.     

    Go to 1:31 for me and freeze it.    The footwork from his initial step has shortened, it's tighter, good plant and a quick, deliberate turn...  notice the one arm and full extension?  THAT is development right there.  THAT is how you sell a ball fake. The devil is in the details, my friends.  Baker can still change some things from his initial step, speed and shoulder drop.  But from pre-season to the final home game, you see improvement with the little things that help you become a better QB.

    Fined $10,026 for a “lewd gesture”, that’s over $5k for each testicle. . .

    According to ESPN he appealed his fine to the NFL, and it was reduced to $1700. (which is still too much)

    Bullshit, h...

    He can still run down the field, jumping and yelling and clapping, in celebration of a TD pass...

    He can still "jaw" with defenders in the moment after a big hit or nearly missed one...

    That's the good stuff. That's how he channels 95+% of his emotion as it is.

    Just can the brat-shit. That last couple percent will never be missed.

    LOL, are you sure you're not related to Colin Cowherd somehow? I'm positive if you took a poll of Browns fans, that opinion would be way in the minority.  We just have a different opinion of what's acceptable on field behavior Tour. Bratty? Well, he's our brat. When he starts kicking guys like Suh did, you've got something to complain about.  🙂

    Not the first time... and won't be the last...

    Doesn't make me wrong.

    By going to Taco Bell...I learned what “No más” means.

    Taco, enchillada, you're learning.  Este burrito es muy caliente.  "this burrito is very hot."  

    Now Mr. Trivia Expert- let me tell you a little inside (spanish) joke- that I learned in my HS spanish class.  LOL, you're old enough to remember the original Lone Ranger TV show with Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels.  Well, "Kimo sabe" is bad Indian spanish for "quien no sabe" (he) who does not know. "Tonto" is silly, or stupid- take your pick.  😁   Would never fly in this day of political correctness.....

    I don't want to be a grammar nazi but maybe someone is interested:

    English native speakers usually make the same mistake: it is "este burrito ESTÁ muy caliente". We have two different verbs, ser and estar, in substitution of  the english to be. 

    If I had to explain it simply, Ser defines a permanent quality, mostly used for people/animals or global attributes (a film is good, una película ES buena, a person who is good ES buena), whereas Estar defines a temporal quality/situation. This explaination is partial but may work for you.

    The burrito is hot but it is not inherently hot, because it could be cold, so estar it is.

    If I'm ill I'll say "ESTOY enfermo" because I'm not always ill, etc.

  • just on fox pre game they had a segment with cooper manning of course in a kitchen so cooper ask's baker if he likes kitchens and he replied I love kitchens and then something about jackson and baker replied anything is better than hue I mean you so cooper ask's baker to grab those nut's and baker replied that the nfl doesn't like that

  • That was funny.  He is doing allot of shows.

    My way of learning the difference was whether something is temporary or permanent. Su cuca esta' muy caliente.- does not mean this a permanent stay for her.???

    I realize that cuca may be just a Venezuelan term.?

    Next year I want to see Hemmokwi from this team every play, every game.

    That is Zuni for giving your very best hard work at all times. The Zuni HS football team adopted it as a reminder that it meant every down of every game no matter the score or how tired any individual was. Had it placed on T-shirts for every member of the team and every coach as a personal reminder for their lives, not just football.
