BEREA, Ohio — Baker Mayfield will put his money on Odell Beckham Jr. and other Browns receivers in one-on-one matchups with the Titans on Sunday.

“I have full confidence in all our playmakers, our skill position guys that if they have one-on-ones, they should be licking their chops and they should all take that as disrespect because that’s the type of team we have and we need to take advantage of,’’ Mayfield said. “It’s going to be a matchup game.’’

Mayfield finally has almost his full complement of receivers on the field with Beckham, Jarvis Landry and others, and likes their chances in the opener at FirstEnergy. The only one not available is Antonio Callaway, who is suspended the first four games.

“It’s going to look like a lot of matchups that we can take advantage of, a numbers game,’’ Mayfield re-iterated. “Seeing how they’re going to play us and be able to adjust off of that. Being able to do our basic stuff but then adjust on what they’re doing.’’

Nevertheless, Mayfield speaks highly of the Titans’ defense, which finished No. 8 overall in 2018 and No. 6 against the pass.

"Obviously with a team like that that has a bunch of veterans in the secondary and guys up front as well, they communicate well,'' he said. "They’re able to do a lot of stuff and disguise and make it look like certain things, which is what the great defenses do, is give you one look and completely show another one, so it’s tough.

"But I think that comes down to us doing our basics and going through my reads and adjusting on the fly, seeing what their gameplan is, and just being able to adjust.''

He said lack of reps in preseason with Beckham, who missed all four exhibition games with a hip injury, is overrated.

“I didn’t take a snap with Jarvis all last year during the preseason, so yes, it’s probably pretty overblown,’’ he said.

As for Beckham, Mayfield said, “I think he’s excited to get back to football. He’s feeling healthy and ready to go. I’d say just talking to him and knowing who he is, he’s very excited to get on the field with a fresh start. He’s ready to do it for himself.’’

Besides, having a superstar receiver who can make one-handed circus catches makes Mayfield’s job a lot easier.

“I always pride myself on being an accurate guy, but he’s kind of a security blanket if I do make a mistake,'' Mayfield said. "Just knowing what he can do to effect the defense, it helps us as an offense as a whole but also just to know that I have that threat at all times is great.”

Titans coach Mike Vrabel acknowledged that the Titans now have some film to dig into with Mayfield because he started 13 games last year. Whether or not he’ll identify any weaknesses is another story.

“We can take a look at all the film,’’ Vrabel said on a conference call. “He’s a talented, confident player that’s accurate, a quick release, throws the deep ball well and is mobile. He also has the intangibles of: the energy, the leadership. That’ll be certainly a huge key for us is just trying to contain the guy that’s distributing the football to a bunch of really good players.''

Freddie Kitchens said Mayfield has taken ownership of the Browns’ offense like they wanted him to this season. And depending on his grasp of it and how much the offense can handle, he’ll likely operate a fair amount out of the no-huddle this season

“Yeah, I think he has a good knowledge of what we want to do and he has a good knowledge of the terminology,’’ said Kitchens. “That always evolves so it is not really set in stone right now exactly who we are going to be. Some of it depends on the week so it is always evolving.”

Mayfield noted that “it’s definitely different going into this week knowing that I’m starting the game. Last year, I prepared like I was going to play though, but the game has definitely slowed down for me, so preparation’s been different.’’

He said he ‘absolutely’ has more control over things this year and “it was very beneficial to be the guy going into it, being able to give my input on certain things, certain concepts and how we’re doing things.”

Mayfield, who’s had precious few reps this offseason with his entire offense, is eager to put it all together and see what this talent-loaded offense is capable of.

“I’m excited,’’ he said. “You’re finally putting the pads on and it’s real. We’ve had a long offseason. It’s been a long wait. I feel like it’s been a longer one than last year, so we’re ready to go. I’m ready to go. It is all business.”

He’s not concerned with living up to the hype.

“Nobody has done anything yet, so I’d say everyone is starting the same -- square one. I’d say it’s pretty hard to live up to any hype if you’re listening to the outside,'' he said. "None of that really matters, so I think we’ve got a bunch of guys who have bought in to what’s going on in this building and the standards that we’re setting. So to us that’s all that matters.”

Mayfield said he didn’t do anything drastically different after going 10-of-26 for 72 yards with one interception in Tampa for a 30.6 rating.

“No, I’d say I started building more reps with guys, building chemistry and stuff like that,’’ he said. “At that point we installed everything, gone over all the basics, Now it’s about getting the little details down, fine-tuning certain things.''

But everyone has ramped up the intensity over the last 10 days or so as the Season of Hype us about to begin.

“As soon as that third preseason game was over, you start to see that sense of urgency and once the final cuts are made, you start seeing what type of team we’re putting together,'' he said. "It’s pretty exciting to see the energy that we’re bringing.”
