BROWNS DOING ALL THE RIGHT THINGS — SO FAR

Too many people in the NFL – decision-makers, such as general managers and coaches, especially head coaches – take simple things and make them way, way too complicated.

What happens, then, is that they out-think themselves and make dumb moves.

The Browns – this new bunch of General Manager Andrew Berry and head coach Kevin Stefanski – haven’t done that dumb stuff yet as a team in the relatively short time – not quite eight months – that they’ve been working together.

The Browns want to go young when possible.

They need to get better, especially at safety, which is kind of a mess and may be – after linebacker – the weakest position area on the club.

They had a chance to get a good, young safety and they made a move – an excellent one, considering what they did, and didn’t, give up to acquire one – by trading a fifth-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft in Cleveland to the fire sale-happy Jacksonville Jaguars for Ronnie Harrison.

It’s not hard. Need a safety? Look for the best one for your team needs and go after him.

Will Harrison play well for the Browns and help fill their gaping hole at safety? It would seem so, but, really, who knows? That remains to be seen. But it makes sense. It looks good on paper. It’s just about the best the Browns could have done, and that’s all you can ask.

Berry and Stefanski aren’t trying to win the press conferences. They’re trying to win games. You do that with well-thought-out moves like this one.

Again, when the Browns of the Bernie Kosar era were being put together in the mid-1980s, they used common-sense decisions that didn’t necessarily wow anyone at first, but did so later as they played out.

These current Browns seem to be of the same mind-set, Think about it: Other than all the injuries, which no one can control, Berry and Stefanski have done nothing but impress with what they’ve done.

Let’s hope it translates to the field beginning Sept. 13 in Baltimore, for, in the end, that’s the acid test. That’s all that matters.
