HOUSE Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) Browns OC Van Pelt to change Mayfield's footwork By Nick Shook Around The NFL Writer Published: Feb. 19, 2020 at 01:39 p.m. You can count on one hand how many offensive coordinators Baker Mayfield has had in his brief NFL career, but you're almost out of fingers after just two seasons. Hopefully, we won't end up saying the same about his changes in footwork. Mayfield's new offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt told reporters Wednesday he plans on changing the quarterback's footwork, which he wants "to be like Mozart, not Metallica." http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001102421/article/browns-oc-van-pelt-to-change-mayfields-footwork Edited February 19, 2020 by HOUSE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I loved Van Pelt when he was here but what exactly has done at the nfl level? Wasn’t he just basically Rodgers coffee boy? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeGOATski Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Aren't OCs limited in the amount of time they get with the players? Did Van Pelt mention who he's contracting for the work? Probably the lowest bidder.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Did you mean "pudgie" not "fudgie"? Though I guess one can lead to the other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Claude Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 What I don't understand is why AVP would go public with this. Mayfiel6 doesn't seem to be someone to take this as constructive criti ism. It's pretty bad judgement on van pelts part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Van Pelt mention who he's contracting for the work? Probably the lowest bidder.... Well, as I recall in his exit press conference Mayfield made it clear he had no plans to work with a private QB coach..... ....and yes, the coaches and assistants are not supposed to work with the players and give them direction in the off-season, as I understand. They're allowed to have an exit interview with each guy, review his season, and give him an off-season conditioning program and a list of things they want him to work on, but how, where, and with whom they work is "up to" the player. 1 hour ago, Logic said: I don't buy it. PFF said he had an excellent season. Actually PFF said Mayfield's season sucked, but Allen's was still worse. ?♂️ IMHO the Browns FO would do better to focus on fixing their OL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Linen Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I've long thought the footwork cliche is so overrated. I'm not saying it doesn't matter, so please don't attack. I'm just saying when watching today's NFL and how offensive lines change yearly for every team - clean pockets where mechanics and footwork were paramount, hardly exist. These QB's throw off balanced and on the run, most of the time. Now if there's some way to improve footwork on that, fine. 5-7 step drops, hop hop and throw, happen more rarely.

Actually, the title is correct. Consider the Browns’ 2019 season. Those brown uniform pants were the appropriate colour.
