ut it loose and play.” That’s the “next step” in the rookie quarterback’s development Black Ryan Schraeder Jersey , interim coach Gregg Williams said Thursday.“We have his back; now, let’s go,” Williams said, via Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. “You’re a smart enough quarterback, instinctive enough quarterback. We understand that mistakes are going to be made. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. Just cut it loose and play, and make faster and faster decisions.“That’s the No. 1 thing that I’ve tried to convey to him. It’s not just me; it’s everybody — his teammates having those conversations with him, the other coaches having those conversations with him. That’s the next step for a young quarterback in my mind.” Mayfield ranks 29th in the league with an 81.5 passer rating Ryan Schraeder Jersey 2019 , throwing 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions in seven games. Williams has encouraged Mayfield to wear his “come get some” face.“He may have [been holding back],” Browns offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens said. “I don’t think you can play this position scared, and I don’t know that he’s ever played it scared. Sometimes you have to say ‘whatever happens, happens.’ I know the good ones who throw four picks or whatever, and the next time they get an opportunity, they’re going to try to fit it into a window of the size of a window, I don’t know. They don’t care.”Mayfield Black Julio Jones Jersey , who lost only six games in three years as the starter at Oklahoma, has a 1-5 record.

And while his work was limited Julio Jones Jersey 2019 , Falcons coach Dan Quinn was impressed with what he saw.“I thought he had good quickness, and for his first time out to have zero mental errors, I thought that says a lot about his retention to all the things we talked specifically just for today,” Quinn said.The two also talked about conditioning, and the things Quinn expected to see when Beasley returned to the team.He skipped OTAs after the Falcons let him ride into his fifth-year option (rather than working on a long-term deal), but he knows this is a pivotal year for a team with a number of other contractual issues on tap.“There’s no pressure at all,” Beasley said. “I just want to ball out and play my heart out with my teammates.”Well Black Devonta Freeman Jersey , there should be some pressure, as he’s failed to live up to the promise he showed when he had 15.5 sacks during their Super Bowl run.
