There's plenty of frustration going on with the Cleveland Browns. From the dysfunction of the front office in sticking with their head coach who's in over his head to high-profile players actively asking other teams to trade for them.
And there are even the little things that offensive coordinator Todd Monken goes through, such as the fact that the offense still can't line up properly.
“It’s frustrating. Obviously, it falls on us coaches, it falls on the players and falls on all of us to obviously get the play in and hear it clearly in the huddle,” Monekn said per Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. “It all starts with the alignment and assignment because that gets you beat. Before any mismatches whoever you play, if you’re not getting lined up and you do not know what you’re doing, it doesn’t matter who you play – you will not be consistent, you’ll be choppy with what you do.”
The inability of the offensive unit to even lineup correctly is a fault in their coaching. Not only does it show a lack of understanding but also discipline.
However, Monken sees some improvement for the Browns as the team continues to move forward into their second-to-last game of the season.
“It may not be to the naked eye, but there are certain things I do believe we are doing better….I think we have been more consistent in terms of throwing the football. It may not show that. For the most part we have cut down on the turnovers and the penalties since then.”
Cleveland will be playing against one of the top defenses in the league in the Ravens on Sunday, and it will show just how much Monken says they've improved.
