As rumors swirl about a potential replacement under new owner Jimmy Haslam, Browns coach Pat Shurmur is focusing on the Washington Redskins and not saving his job, Jeff Schudel of the News Herald reports. Recent rumors have Alabama coach Nick Saban and New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels as potential Browns coaches.
Im not going to focus on that, Shurmur said Monday. Our energy, our efforts are all going to be directed to the Redskins. Its a little bit easier to be narrow-minded and short-sighted with three games to play. We have to make sure we stay in the moment. The math changes in those situations if you dont take care of business this weekend.
Im not worried about saving my (job), Im worried about doing my job and thats it, Shurmur said. Just want to do my job. Source: The Redzone Attached Thumbnails

One thing you have to notice this season is how much better the Browns offensive line is performing. As the headline of this article states, if Brandon Weeden would have played for the Cleveland Browns in the 2011 season with the line Cleveland had, it is doubtful he would have been able to complete the season. Some of the reasons as to why, include Weeden holding onto the...
