Cleveland Browns head coach Freddie Kitchens earned the head coaching gig this offseason because of his creativity and effectiveness calling plays last season.

But now that he is controlling the entire team as well as remaining the team’s offensive play-caller, there is some concern that he may get overwhelmed being a first-time head coach.

"Coley provides reliable depth at the position and should be in the mix as a rotational player, as should Carl Davis and Brian Price. This should be a stronger group than last season."

The addition of Sheldon Richardson made the starting defensive front better, but also made the team’s depth at defensive tackle much better from last season. But if either Richardson or Larry Ogunjobi suffer an injury, the depth of this position could return to being a major concern.
