Browns OC Todd Monken says it’s ‘absolutely silly’ to say transition hasn’t been smooth

The Cleveland Browns have had an incredibly busy offseason, adding significant pieces like Odell Beckham Jr., Kareem Hunt, Olivier Vernon and Sheldon Richardson to vault themselves into contention in the AFC.

While the Browns have improved their defense, the focus is obviously on Cleveland's offense, where the Browns boast a smorgasbord of weapons that should have their offensive attack among the best in the league in 2019.

But in order for all of that to come to fruition, Cleveland needs to have its system down, which is where new offensive coordinator Todd Monken comes into play.

Earlier this offseason, there had been some chatter that Monken's transition to the Browns had not exactly gone that smoothly, and Freddie Kitchens taking over more of a role with offensive play-calling did nothing but throw gasoline on the fire.

But Monken denies that things have gone haywire:

“I don't even know really how to answer that other than for any assistant coach, your role is to do what the head coach asks you to do,’’ Monken said, according to Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. “Whatever we do offensively, it's the Cleveland Browns offense. It's what we do. So there's not any place I've ever been where there's not differing opinions, you're building an offense, you're working through it. I don't know where that comes from.’’
