Zeitler has played very well. Although he hasn’t made the Pro Bowl, he was one of the Top 10 guards in the NFL in my opinion. However, the team drafted Austin Corbett with the 33rd overall pick last year Orange Duke Johnson Jersey , so they already have their new starting right guard on the team. If it works out to where he is even stable, then the Browns made a good move addressing a need. If Corbett is a mess, then...we’ll see.Over the past three years, Vernon has totaled 22 sacks in 39 games. He has two more years left on his contract. He is coming off of a career year in terms of pass-rushing, which makes him a scary option opposite DE Myles Garrett, and replaces the rather disappointing production that DE Emmanuel Ogbah has had through two years:What do you think of the trade Duke Johnson Jersey 2019 , Browns fans? The Browns have found their next head coach!"What a turn of events it has been for Freddie Kitchens.About the New HiringAccording to Chris Mortensen of ESPN, the Cleveland Browns are promoting Kitchens to be their new head coach on Wednesday. He will replace former head coach Hue Jackson and interim head coach Gregg Williams.The Baker Mayfield FactorWhen Kitchens took over the playcalling duties from the fired Todd Haley, the offense had a significant turnaround, and Baker Mayfield especially came alive. It was like the restraints had been taking off. Other things improved too — receivers stopped dropping passes, the running backs were hot, and the offensive line wasn’t allowing any sacks. Take a look at Mayfield’s productivity before and after the coaching changes:Gregg Williams is OUTIt appears that Gregg Williams’ time with the club will end Browns Odell Beckham Jerseys , per Dan Graziano of ESPN.Was it the Right Move?This is from my perspective: after the firing of Hue Jackson and Todd Haley, we didn’t expect the club to have as great of a turnaround as they did. Gregg Williams deserves a lot of credit for keeping things together, but the real difference maker was Freddie Kitchens’ offensive playcalling.My mentality was “if Kitchens worked so well with Mayfield and the offense, then why the heck would we risk losing him?” If the Browns had hired a defensive coach and tried to retain Kitchens as their offensive coordinator, then you run the risk of losing Kitchens a year from now to another club. Yes, Cleveland may have accidentally stumbled into Kitchens as their top head coaching candidate Odell Beckham Jerseys 2019 , but who cares? If it works, it works.I don’t mind the team taking a different direction defensively. When I look at this season’s productivity, the unit was better than they were in 2017, particularly in the area of forcing turnovers. However, nothing was groundbreaking or innovative. Players like Emmanuel Ogbah and Jamie Collins underachieved. This seems like a good time to bring in a fresh mind defensively to see how their vision can improve the unit — because it’s not like it could get worse, really Orange Johnny Manziel Jerseys , with a coaching change.What Are Your Thoughts?
