A few takeaways from the Cleveland Browns’ introductory news conferences of associate head coach/offense Pep Hamilton last week:
Hamilton not only did not mention Johnny Manziel until he was asked about him, he also mentioned only two players when asked what playmakers the Browns have on the roster: Travis Benjamin and Gary Barnidge. Hamilton raved about Benjamin's speed and said Barnidge is "a special player." The Browns do have to sign Benjamin to a new contract before free agency begins.
New coach Hue Jackson will commit to the run.
