The Cleveland Browns built a strong offensive coaching staff with Todd Monken taking over as the offensive coordinator now that Freddie Kitchens is the head coach.
With Monken and Kitchens, the Browns offense is expected to have a mix of concepts, including combining Monken’s Air Raid passing concepts into Kitchens’ scheme.
However, according to a report from Mike Silver of NFL.com, the offensive transition has “not gone as smoothly as planned.” This has led to Kitchens doing more in offensive meetings, according to Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com.
Kitchens has been doing more in offensive meetings the past few weeks, but only because he’s been gathering input from all the assistants and must make decisions on how the scheme will ultimately play out, a source told cleveland.
