The Browns have done some remodeling of their offensive coaching staff this offseason, headlined by the addition of new offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey, who was introduced publicly this week.
Now the real work begins, as Dorsey and head coach Kevin Stefanski can start putting their heads together with the goal of rebuilding the offense that maximizes the skillset of quarterback Deshaun Watson. One big decisions yet to be made is whether or not Stefanski will retain play-calling duties or pass them off to his new assistant. Whatever that verdict is will provide some important context to the Browns 2024 season.
Dorsey and Stefanski do some similar things, but also showcase some notable differences in their offensive strategies. In the latest episode of Brownie Breakdowns, Anthony Moeglin and Spencer German study the tape from Dorsey's time in Buffalo to reveal the key tendencies, strengths and weakness of his offensive philosophies.
Some of the more noticeable elements include Dorsey's propensity to push the ball downfield in the passing game and a pretty effective shotgun RPO game, which could be very useful in unlocking Watson as a running threat. Conversely, there were some noticeable discrepancies in Dorsey's run game with the Bills and questions remain about his ability to make weapons that aren't the team's No. 1 wide receiver more of a focal point.
Follow along as we study what Ken Dorsey's offense from his two seasons as offensive coordinator in Buffalo and pinpoint the positives and negatives that he could bring to the Browns. Do you think Kevin Stefanski should give up the play-calling for Dorsey, or maintain those responsibilities for himself? Let us know your thoughts on the Browns new OC at @BrownsDigestFN
