What will it all look like?

The Browns will not be running a pure “Todd Haley” offensive. Instead, the Browns will mix the current system of Hue Jackson’s with the new concepts that Todd Haley will bring to the Browns.

Per Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, when asked about Todd Haley, Hue Jackson stated that he would not be running Todd Haley’s offense but there will be elements of Haley and Jackson’s system.

"“There’s always bits and pieces that you keep, but this is going to be Todd’s opportunity to put his stamp on this offensive football team,” Jackson told cleveland.com and a small group of Browns writers at the Senior Bowl Wednesday. “This is going to be the Cleveland Browns offense when it’s all said and done, but Todd Haley is leading the charge. People get worried about ‘Whose playbook is it?’ It’s not about that. It’s about what it takes to win for the Cleveland Browns and that’s what Todd will do.”"

Whatever the offense is called, Haley will bring to the Browns something they have needed for a long time. He will be dedicated solely to running the offense and making it successful. He will also bring an offense that has continuity with the run, play action pass and deep passing game. Having this alone will improve the Browns offense next season.

It will be key for the Browns to keep the overall fluidity and continuity of the offense together. If Jackson and Haley can creatively work together, the Browns offense will be fun to watch.
