Vambo Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 https://ftw.usatoday.com/2021/01/baker-mayfield-colin-cowherd-maserati-mazda-play-name-browns-nfl That play, though, was called “Maserati.” And, well, two years ago, Cowherd said of Mayfield: “When you’re a No. 1 pick, I want you to be a Maserati — not a Mazda.” According to MMQB, that name was brought back as a way to joke about Mayfield’s speed. “It was for short yardage this week, and we called it,” said guard Joel Bitonio, the longest-tenured Brown, in his seventh season in Cleveland. “I was kinda giving Baker [Mayfield] a little bit of crap earlier in the week about his speed, having him run the ball. It was a good play getting the extra blocker with Kareem [Hunt] leading the way there. I was on the backside so I just kinda cut my guy off. I saw him get the first down and get down in bounds, and I knew we had the game sealed. Though Bitonio didn’t explicitly mention Cowherd in that explanation, the choice to settle on “Maserati” for the play wasn’t a coincidence. The Browns didn’t forget. The Browns will play the Steelers once again in Sunday’s Wild Card round. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can hear Hunt's pad pop "loud & clear" way upstairs. Right when Jim says " runs it to the right" at 13 seconds into video.. Rock'd.. music to your ears... 🚀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
