The Browns' media sessions continued
The Browns' media sessions continued Wednesday with head coach Kevin Stefanski taking the podium for the first time since the end of the 2022 season.
Here are five top takeaways:
1. Addressing the coaching changes
The Browns on Monday finalized their 2023 coaching staff with six people receiving new roles and two new coaches hired to the team.
It's the most changes that have been made to Stefanski's staff in an offseason since he became the coach in 2020, and he expressed confidence in the new hires — safeties coach Ephraim Banda and senior offensive assistant Bill Musgrave — and the six other staff members who were assigned to new roles to help the team improve.
"As you know, we had continuity there for a bunch of years, and that can be good, and I think sometimes change can be good," Stefanski said. "I think for me and for us, this process of talking to a bunch of coaches and interviewing a lot of coaches, you learn a lot about the candidate; you also learn about different ways of doing things. I think there is certainly a different perspective that I gain from some of the people we were able to talk to and obviously the people we were able to hire.
"I think it really pushes you to rethink certain things of what we are doing and make sure that we are trying to do the best thing for the team."
2. Hall of Fame Game selection is an 'unbelievable honor'
The Browns will begin their season in Canton in August after the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced Tuesday that the Browns will play the Jets in the 2023 Hall of Fame Game at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium.
The selection came three weeks after Joe Thomas was named a first-ballot Hall of Famer in the 2023 class. The game will take place on Aug. 3, two days before Thomas' official induction ceremony.
"We are very fortunate to be able to play in that game," Stefanski said. "I think it's an unbelievable honor to do so. It gives us an opportunity to celebrate Joe's career. That part, we are excited about. Heading down there to Canton. I have done it before when I was with the Vikings."
The extra preseason game will give the Browns four total games before the regular season begins. It also means the Browns will be able to start training camp a week earlier in July, which Stefanski said the Browns will do. They will also end their offseason program a week earlier in June.
3. Importance of AVP's relationship with Watson
One notable part of Stefanski's coaching changes was the decision to not hire a new quarterbacks coach after Drew Petzing, who served in the role in 2022, was hired to join new Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon's staff as the offensive coordinator.
Stefanski, whose staff also didn't have a designated QB coach in 2020 and 2021, clarified that offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt will still carry a heavy role in coaching QB Deshaun Watson. So will Ashton Grant, a former Browns Bill Willis Diversity Coaching Fellow who moved to a coaching role as an offensive assistant/QBs after he was an offensive quality control coach last year.
