BEREA — Always start at the beginning with the end in mind. But to get there the Cleveland Browns, maybe more than any other team, have a long way to go.
Hue Jackson and his team are putting 0-16 behind them, that much is clear from talking to the coach and his players on Thursday. Jackson didn’t even include a mention of the depressingly bad 2017 season during his address to the team on Wednesday night.
They are not focusing on that team’s utter inability to win games over the last two seasons. Those shortcomings, they said repeatedly throughout the day, are in the past, and the 2018 Browns are a completely new team.
