The goal on the defensive side of the ball for the Cleveland Browns this offseason was simple and clear: Upgrade the defensive line. We won’t know if the mission was accomplished until the season starts but the moves by GM Andrew Berry indicate it should be.
The goal on the offensive side of the ball was a little less clear for the Browns but there were a ton of hints of a new system being in place:
- Hiring Bill Musgrave who is proficient in shotgun/pistol run plays
- Multiple comments from Kevin Stefanski and Deshaun Watson
- Adding multiple fast, quick receivers
- The drafting of Dorian Thompson-Robinson
- DTR noting the playbook was similar to the one used under Chip Kelly with the UCLA Bruins
Now, with OTAs in progress, we are starting to see a few of the wrinkles that could come with the new offense.
