Jarvis Landry to return

Browns designate WR Jarvis Landry for return
The Cleveland Browns have designated WR Jarvis Landry to return from injured reserve.
Landry, a five-time Pro Bowler, in two games caught six passes for 80 yards, while adding two rushes for 13 yards and a touchdown. He was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury on Sept. 21.
I don’t like the fact that in trying to do too much, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski is messing up in some of his play-calling.
And I don’t particularly like the fact that Stefanski refuses to give up some of the playing-calling to offensive coordinator-in-name-only Alex Van Pelt.

We’ll see how it goes, but I don’t like it one bit.
And, in my humble opinion, neither should you as a Browns fan.
But one part of the situation that thrills me — really, truly thrills me — is the fact Stefanski readily admitted he made a mistake when he made one of the most egregious errors, calling a draw play to Kareen Hunt on third-and-nine late in last Sunday’s 47-42 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
Too many head coaches — way too many, really — refuse to say they’ve made an error in any realm. They try to explain those mistakes away with a line of gobbledy-gook that doesn’t make any sense. It’s as if these coaches are afraid that if they admit in public that they’re not perfect, they’ll get fired.
Most head coaches in the NFL meet with their bosses, the owners of their teams, following games, usually that evening. The coaches aren’t going to give their owner a line of junk — they have to be honest — so why can’t they be honest with the fans as well? The fans won’t bury them. They’ll understand — football is not an exact science — but they’re too proud, too haughty and too disrespectful of the fans to do so. The fans deserve much better than that.
Indeed, honesty is always the best policy.
Most of the Browns head coaches in the expansion era have, unfortunately, been reluctant to come clean. Eric Mangini, for instance, couldn’t tell the truth if his life depended on it. You couldn’t believe anything he said.
