It’s far to say through six games into a 16-game season that 2019 hasn’t exactly gone the way that the Cleveland Browns had planned. Despite bold moves in the offseason, they are, in fact, in worse position right now than they were at this time a year ago, before they made big changes mid-season and actually started winning games.
After making significant changes along the defensive line and adding an All-Pro wide receiver to the mix, it turns out—the offensive line is still a problem. It was bad enough that they traded away Pro Bowl guard Kevin Zeitler in order to acquire Olivier Vernon along the defensive line, but most of the line—all of the rest retreads from last year—hasn’t been up to par, either.
