Freddie Kitchens: QB Baker Mayfield Has a New Kitchen to Bake in with Browns New OC Freddie Kitchens: QB Baker Mayfield Has A New Kitchen To Bake In With Browns New OC Author : Robert D. Cobb Trick or treat! With Halloween now passed and "Bloody Monday" in the books with the Cleveland Browns firing both head coach Hue Jackson and offensive coordinator Todd Haley, one good thing that may have come out of this is quarterback Baker Mayfield getting to bake in a new kitchen in the form of new offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens. Kitchens, the team's former running backs coach, was a former high school QB standout in his native 1 / 3 Alabama and went 22-13 as a starter for the Crimson Tide from 1993-97 before breaking into the coaching ranks in 1999 as a running backs and tight ends coach at D-II Glenville State in Glenville, West Virginia. From there, Kitchens would work as a grad assistant at LSU in 2000, running backs coach at North Texas from 2001-03, tight ends coach at Mississippi State in 2004 and running backs coach in 2005. In 2006, the 43-year-old Gadsden, Alabama native would break into the NFL ranks as a tight ends coach under Hall of Fame head coach Bill Parcells and the Dallas Cowboys in 2006. Kitchens would move on to Arizona to coach the tight ends for Bruce Arians and the Arizona Cardinals from 2007-12 before working with Carson Palmer as quarterbacks coach from 2013-16 and work with David Johnson as running backs coach in 2017. If there are any doubts about Kitchens background lack of coordinator experience in the NFL, noted and well- respected Browns blog, Dawgs By Nature summarized Kitchens’ credentials in pointing out the coaches and players he has had a hand in developing. “With an offensive mind, he was elevated to the QB coach in 2013 and held that position until 2016. He coached Carson Palmer in his Pro Bowl year of 2015 while with the Cardinals. Former Jacksonville Jaguars first-round pick Byron Leftwich was brought in to coach the QBs in 2017 and Kitchens was then switched to the RB coach where he tutored veterans Adrian Peterson and Chris Johnson, plus the youngster David Johnson.” If there had been one thing that frustrated many Browns fans was the sometimes-clueless and head-scratching play calls of now former offensive coordinator, Todd Haley. In the one game that Kitchens called as offensive coordinator during the Browns 35-10 preseason-win over the Detroit Lions, one can glean that fans may see more of a mobile Mayfield on the edge and rolling outside the pocket more. Again, this is just a pre-season game vs. Week 9 game of the regular season, but from the video below, which has every Mayfield throw and run, Browns fans may see more tight ends being used in seam and vertical routes, wide receivers on shallow crosses, and utilization of the running backs as receivers out of the backfield. So, rough translation: good news for Duke Johnson, Seth DeValve and Davis Njoku. With just three healthy wideouts in Jarvis Landry, Antonio Callaway and the recently-signed Breshad Perriman, Mayfield may finally get into a play-calling rhythm with a caller such as Kitchens and use more play-action to attack downfield. It’s no secret that the offensive line is a mess and that Mayfield has been getting sacked at an alarming rate , the best answer to this is to move Mayfield around more and take advantage of his mobility on the edge to offset the porous OL exposing him to further injury. With Patrick Mahomes and the high-flying Kansas City Chiefs coming to town, Browns fans may get a 2 / 3 glimpse of Baker’s new kitchen in Kitchens. Hopefully, it’ll result in Mayfield baking a few touchdowns for the Browns. 3 / 3 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

  • Browns Flopping
    Browns Flopping By: Anthony Gedeon There has been a lot of buzz around the Cleveland Browns for the 2019 NFL season and a lot of people had high hopes for the team. However, as the season has gone on, the team and its fans are starting to lose hope in ever being good. The Browns are sitting at 4-6 currently in the season and people have a whole bunch of different opinions on what the Browns should do to turn it around. Freddie Kitchens, the rookie head coach of the Browns, is under heat as being one of the problems with the Browns. Most people were happy with the decision to make Kitchens the head coach, but as the year goes on many want to have him fired. This would just add to the Head Coach problems that Cleveland has been suffering from for years. Owen Reese, a die hard Browns fan calls him, “Flapjack Freddie” because “Freddie is a good guy, I just don’t think he is fit for the head coach position.” Reese is obviously not the only one to voice his opinion either, there is even a hashtag “#firefreddie” movement started on Twitter by an account named “Browns Country” that reports on all the Browns games and news. Although people are saying that Freddie is the main problem, others are saying that it is the team itself and the players are not playing well. The Browns are the most penalized team in the NFL with 75 penalties adding up to 631 lost yards so far in the season.

  • | 12 29 2011 | Derrick Johnson's Pro Bowl
    www.kansascity.com | 12/29/2011 | Derrick Johnson’s Pro Bowl selection marks turnaround 1/24/12 4:42 PM Back to web version Tuesday, Jan 24, 2012 Posted on Thu, Dec. 29, 2011 Derrick Johnson’s Pro Bowl selection marks turnaround By KENT BABB The Kansas City Star T wo years ago, Derrick Johnson was confused. Here he stood, at his locker at the end of his fifth NFL season, and talked about where his career might go — because with the Chiefs, it seemed to be going nowhere. “I haven’t lost trust yet,” he said in December 2009. “But it’s possible.” At the time, Johnson was a mostly disappointing former first-round pick who had been shuffled among several linebacker positions, primarily in an attempt to jump-start his vast potential. In 2009, Johnson had been shuffled right out of the lineup. Two years later, a challenge accepted and conquered, Johnson is now one of the Chiefs’ best — and, more important, most reliable — defenders and this week was selected to his first Pro Bowl. He is a sure tackler, a solid player in coverage, but the thing that has set Johnson apart these last two seasons, his best as a pro, was a growing familiarity of the Chiefs’ defense that bred confidence, leadership and success. Two seasons ago, Johnson was benched, in an effort for former coach Todd Haley to make a point. Johnson’s effort was lacking, even if he didn’t realize it, and one of the team’s most talented players was sent to the second- team defense.

  • Cleveland Browns Team History
    PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE 2020-2021 EDITIOn running back jim brown - hall of fame class of 1971 CLEVELAnD BROWnS Team History The Cleveland Browns were born in 1944 when Cleveland businessman Arthur B. McBride acquired a franchise in the new All-America Football Conference that would begin play in 1946. McBride’s first act after acquiring the team was to hire Paul Brown, who had been a very successful high school, college and service coach, as coach and general manager. The teams of the AAFC basically were of comparable quality to those of the NFL but, in the first 10 years of post-World War II pro football, the Cleveland Browns proved to be the best in either league. With such all-time greats as quarterback Otto Graham, fullback Marion Motley and tackle-kicker Lou Groza leading the way, Cleveland won all four AAFC championships and amassed a 52-4-3 winning record. When the AAFC folded after the 1949 season, many insisted a major reason was the Browns’ dominance that eliminated any viable competition. The AAFC-NFL settlement called for the Browns, San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Colts to join the NFL. Many NFL diehards, still not convinced the Browns were for real, expected Cleveland to fail badly when they played against the established NFL teams. But the Browns quickly proved their domination was no fluke by opening the 1950 season with a stunning 35-10 victory over the defending NFL champion Philadelphia Eagles. Cleveland then won the NFL Eastern Conference championship for six straight years from 1950 to 1955 and NFL titles in 1950, 1954 and 1955.
