Like all functioning relationships, Baker Mayfield knows communication is key when it comes to the Browns’ offense.

On Wednesday, the second-year quarterback addressed an incident that took place over the weekend, in which he yelled at the wide receivers for not working back to him as he scrambled.

“Those guys know that’s a big part of our offense. And they know that,” Mayfield said, according to ESPN. “It’s just the fact that if we get lazy and let things slide — we need to be open to communicating right now.”

Jarvis Landry is returning for his second season in Cleveland to go along with former Giants wideout Odell Beckham Jr. Though growing pains can be expected, Mayfield believes he and Beckham, along with Landry, will be able to work through them together.

“Absolutely. And there’s an appreciation from my end that [Beckham] has been able to come communicate and talk through things,” the second-year quarterback said. “Just being able to talk through things and see it from their perspective and mine is really good.”

The Browns enter the 2019 season with plenty of hype after acquiring Beckham in March. The lightning-rod receiver has already won over Cleveland fans, but Mayfield understands that should things get derailed on the field it needs to be addressed in a certain manner.

“I’m not going to be a jackass. I’m gonna talk through it,” Mayfield said. “I’m gonna harp on it, then I’m going to talk to them. And like I said, we need to be on the same page.”

The Browns’ preseason schedule gets underway next Thursday when they face the Redskins at home.
