He knows what he's doing. He knows the exact approach that he wants to attack with and he just does that."Stefanski, who helped Minnesota finish eighth in the NFL in scoring during his lone seasons as the team's offensive coordinator, is taking over a Browns team that fell well below expectation in 2019, winning just two of their first eight games while finishing with a 6-10 record.

"The guys they're bringing in, obviously talented guys, but mentality-wise and with the mindset that they have, I think we're putting the right pieces together. That's why we're trying to take advantage of this time right now, talking to these guys as much as I can, getting to know them."Stefanski said that as it relates to the succe s of the offense. Conversely, he wants Mayfield's abilities to complement the rest of his offensive teammates, a group that also includes receivers , , and running backs and ."I don't want them to be something they're not," Stefanski Al-Farouq Aminu Jersey recently told ESPN's Scott Van Pelt, via the Browns' team website. "Quarterback is a lightning rod. That's the nature of the beast. Baker knows that."We've outlined some things we're going to help him with schematically and maybe technique-wise, but it's never a one-man show. Baker knows that and our team knows that. I think these guys are putting in the work to make sure we're ready to hit the ground running when we get together."Stefanski has also embraced the current elements that he is dealing with as it relates to coaching in the Khem Birch Jersey midst of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic."Players, young people are a resilient bunch and I think they learn under these unique circumstances," Stefanski said. "I think they're better equipped to do this than maybe any other generation. They're so in tune to the technological aspect of this whole thing. Our coaches are really attacking this and I think there's a lot of learning that's going on right now. The feedback I've gotten from the guys is very positive."One player that has publicly shared his positive feedback has been Mayfield, who is clearly looking forward to his first season with Stefanski as his coach.
