A new duck for Cleveland ! well,let' s get " Quackin" !!!!
It was assumed that Chip Kelly would soon be coming to the NFL. That Cleveland appears to be his destination, rather than, say, Philadelphia, is a bit of a shock. Despite the Browns reputation as losers, this isn’t the terrible coaching job that a lot of people will make it out to be. The Browns have a new owner who’s interested in making a splash. The team was showing signs of improvement toward the back half of the season. Oh, and the team’s best offensive weapon is used to Kelly’s offensive schemes. Chip Kelly’s top run plays — inside zone, outside zone, and power (guard pull) — are same Trent Richardson ran at Alabama — Smart Football (@smartfootball) January 4, 2013 It remains to be seen whether Kelly can run his spread offense in Cleveland. Not likely with the current pieces in place. So expect a lot of speculation about Tim Tebow to the Browns. I’m sure ESPN appreciates that they have a to play off in the Jaguars in the great upcoming Tebow sweepstakes that no one should c...

A new coaching staff could mean a change to a 3-4 defense. Are the Browns ready for that?
While Joe Banner and Jimmy Haslam conduct interviews in Arizona for a new head coach, the one person I’ve been interested to hear from or about is defensive coordinator Dick Jaruon.
On Monday, Banner and Haslam made it clear that all coaches were free to interview elsewhere if they wished and that they could be brought back if the new coach wanted them. What we really don’t know...
Cleveland Browns 2013 Needs
The Browns have played in just 1 playoff game since 1994 (they were deactivated for 3 years in that stretch, but still). Lack of continuity continues to be an issue for them and it won’t get any better for them next season. They have a new owner who has brought in a new GM and front office, which will bring in a new Head Coach once again. That Head Coach is expected to be Chip...
Colt McCoy Has Been Told He’s in Chip Kelly’s Plans if He is Hired
Chip Kelly hasn’t been hired by anyone yet, so this might not mean anything. Even before this report came out, I believed if Chip Kelly was hired by the Browns and he had to choose between McCoy and Weeden, he would choose McCoy.
I think McCoy fits better within the scheme he would try to use. It would be different if Weeden was substantially better than McCoy, but I don’t think...
