Bubba Ventrone dealing with change on special teams

The Cleveland Browns will be sporting a new look on special teams when the season opens on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Out are overrated special teams coordinator Mike Priefer and inconsistent placekicker Cade York. In their place are Bubba Ventrone, who made a name for himself while leading a Top 10 special teams unit while with the Indianapolis Colts, and veteran placekicker Dustin Hopkins, who will presumably provide a reasonable level of calm when called upon to execute a kick.

Unfortunately, the Browns will once again be without returner Jakeem Grant Sr.
