The Cleveland Browns made a big change ahead of hosting the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8 and at least for the time being things are going well with it.
Last week, head coach Kevin Stefanski announced that he would be giving offensive play calling duties up and turning them over to offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey.
That, coupled with the first start by Jameis Winston, and the Browns went out and put it to the Baltimore defense. After the game, Stefanski tipped his cap to Dorsey.
“I thought Dors (Ken Dorsey) was great,” said Stefanski. “Just all week that offensive staff, Coach Dors, I thought the guys really did a nice job putting a game plan together. And then on game day, it’s just a very collaborative process. But I thought Dors was great.”
The Browns needed a win badly after dropping five straight games. They went out and put up 401 yards in a 29-24 win over the Ravens. Cleveland operated a downfield passing game for the first time of the season and that is mostly because Winston took over under center. Still, things went great for Dorsey calling plays for the first time.
In his first game calling plays, Dorsey made the switch from being on the field to being up in the press box. Cleveland turned the ball over just once on a strip sack and fumble by Winston. The Browns only got 80 rushing yards going but the 321 yards through the air stand out.
Cleveland scored 20 points for the first time this season against the Ravens, and the same can be said about a quarterback passing for more than 200 yards.
Dorsey is going to be the play caller for the rest of the season and Stefnanski taking a more broad coaching approach looks to be a smart choice.
