The Cleveland Browns won a grand total of zero games last season, so there really isn't anywhere to go but up, and head coach Hue Jackson thinks that's going to be the case.
The Browns ownership brought in John Dorsey to be the general manager, and he has done a complete overhaul of the roster. From bringing in two new quarterbacks to doing some upgrades at almost every position, the expectations are higher. Jackson likes what he sees, and thinks that the talent on the roster has taken a huge step forward.
“If you look across the locker room, every position group has been upgraded with more talent. It's everywhere,” Jackson told Albert Breer of The MMQB. “That in itself, when you look from one guy to the next, they can see it, there's been more talent brought on to this football team. … I've been in this for a while, so there are things you can tell.”
Jackson also seems to be throwing some shade at the former front office saying he knows there is some talent on this football team, and that's not something he said a lot the first few years in charge.
“I'm not ever going to say our team is not good enough, or we're not this or not that. We'll know when we get to training camp. But I do know there's talent on this football team. And I think that's obvious. If you look around the roster, there's been some players who've been really good players on other teams.”
The next step for the Browns is to have the good players turn into winning results on the field. It doesn't matter how many good players are on the team if it doesn't result in wins it doesn't matter. The most important thing in football is winning on Sunday.
