The Rond\u00e9 Barber Show<\/a> last week, a WFLA-TV streaming property. There Mayfield talked about how he\u2019s in full body-recovery mode and how he has to remove himself from the game every year.<\/p>\n\u201cI have to step away from it a little bit,\u201d Mayfield said. \u201cI\u2019m mentally drained \u2026 and it\u2019s more of a mental break for me than it is physical.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll start itching to get back and start working out way more so than I will [think], \u2018Alright what schemes do I need to go look at today?\u2019 I\u2019ll start working out first, and then I\u2019ll start looking at tape. I\u2019d rather have a conversation about schemes than actually sitting down and watching tape. Until about March for me, that\u2019s when I start thinking, \u2018Ball.\u2019 \u2026\u201dUntil March hits, I\u2019m not really thinking football.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mayfield added that he\u2019ll return to training in February \u2014 and always wants to \u2014 but he won\u2019t grind with video until March.<\/p>\n
Barber, the Bucs legend, noted he was a March guy, too. Why? Because that was when chatter heated up about free agents possibly coming to the Bucs and potential plans to replace him,\u201d Barber said.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Baker Mayfield Talks March Revitalization February 1st, 2026 At high noon on Monday, March 9, the annual free…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":233028,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2077],"tags":[211,2599,2598,7,6,704,250,2597,2596],"class_list":{"0":"post-721914","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tampa-bay-buccaneers","8":"tag-buccaneers","9":"tag-bucs-message-boards","10":"tag-bucs-news","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-nfl","13":"tag-tampa-bay","14":"tag-tampa-bay-buccaneers","15":"tag-tampabay","16":"tag-tampabaybuccaneers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115996687662583535","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/721914","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=721914"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/721914\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/233028"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=721914"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=721914"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=721914"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
