The real work now starts as head coach Kevin Stefanski and general manager Brian Dorsey get to work on revamping the playbook to best use quarterback Deshaun Watson’s skill set. One major choice that needs to be addressed is if Stefanski will continue to call plays or will he assign the responsibility to his new assistant. The Browns 2024 season will have significant background, regardless of the outcome of that decision.

While Dorsey and Stefanski share certain similarities, their offensive approaches also diverge noticeably from one another. Anthony Moeglin and Spencer German analyze the footage from Dorsey’s tenure in Buffalo to highlight the main trends, advantages, and disadvantages of his offensive strategies in the most recent edition of Brownie Breakdowns.

A few standout components are Dorsey’s tendency to drive the ball downfield during passing plays and his reasonably good shotgun RPO game, which may help Watson develop into a viable running threat. On the other hand, Dorsey’s run game with the Bills showed some notable disparities, and concerns about his capacity to elevate weapons who aren’t the team’s top wide out to a more prominent position also exist.
