Gunether has a plan for Mayfield

When Baker Mayfield came into the game against the New York Jets on Thursday Night Football in Week 3, the Jets were not ready to defend his skill set. The Jets had spent the entire week game planning for Tyrod Taylor, who is a completely different quarterback than Mayfield is.

Mayfield, and the Browns, will not have that luxury this weekend, as the Raiders have had more than enough time to study the tape. Raiders defensive coordinator Paul Guenther is one of the best in the game, and with PJ Hall returning to the defensive line this weekend, the Raiders should be as healthy as they are going to be up front against the Browns.

Sure, Mayfield is a big-time talent, but he is going on the road for the first time in his NFL career, and going into a very hostile environment. Guenther is going to scheme enough to rattle the young quarterback on Sunday, which could lead to some turnovers that could turn this game on it’s head.
