Finally, the offense is now being run by Monken and Kitchens, two offensive-minded coaches who have both been proven to be highly capable of taking the players they’ve been given and using their strengths to develop an effective game plan around. Those two hope to take the next step and with the addition of Vernon and Richardson, it’s certainly possible. Analysis: The Browns will be unhappy with anything less than nine wins, but that would still involve betting the under here. The hope is that Monken can further develop Mayfield in his second year under center and use the new and prior weapons at his disposal – receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry, running backs Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt (after Week 8) and tight end David Njoku – to improve on a Browns passing and rushing attacks, both ranked 14th last season.
