executive Andrew Berry as vice president of football operations.Berry worked three seasons with the Browns after seven years in Indianapolis and helped lead talent evaluation and scouting. His role had diminished under new general manager John Dorsey Jabrill Peppers Color Rush Jersey , who brought in Eliot Wolf and Alonzo Highsmith from Green Bay.Berry worked under Sashi Berry, who was fired and replaced by Dorsey.The Browns were 1-31 in 2016-17 before going 7-8-1 last season.Berry was part of the search committee that recently hired new Browns coach Freddie Kitchens. During Berry’s time with the Colts, the team won four AFC South titles and made the Super Bowl.The Eagles made several coaching changes, promoting Phillip Daniels to defensive line coach and Carson Walch to wide receivers coach. Mike Bartrum was hired as assistant tight ends coach. Matthew Harper was named assistant wide receivers coach.Roy Istvan is assistant offensive line coach. T.J. Paganetti is assistant running backs coach. Luke Thompson is assistant special teams coach. Matt Burke is defensive special assistant. G.J. Kinne leads offensive special projects and Joe Pannunzio is director of team development.Other staff changes: Greg Delimitros was promoted to vice president of equipment operations, Patrick Dolan was promoted to vice president of football technology E.J. Gaines Color Rush Jersey , Jon Ferrari was promoted to vice president of football operations and compliance and Jeremiah Washburn was hired as advanced projects coordinator. The jury is still out on whether Freddie Kitchens will be a good football coach. But at least he’s self aware.Peppered with questions about his decision to call a draw play on fourth and nine from the Rams’ 40 while down 17-13 with 9:19 to play, Kitchens repeatedly admitted his mistake.“Bad call,” Kitchens said. He said that the draw play was the call he wanted, and it was clear that he indeed knew it was fourth down.“It just did not work,” Kitchens said. “It was a bad call. . . . We were trying to win the game. We were on their side of the field. Bad call.”It was smart to go for it in that spot https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Damarious-Randall-Jersey , but Kitchens outsmarted himself by trying a run with so many yards to gain. Of course, if it had worked we’d be calling him a genius. Because it gained only two yards, not a genius.Making the decision to run on fourth and nine even more conspicuous was the failure of Kitchens to call a single running play once the Browns had the ball inside the L.A. five with 43 seconds left and time outs on the board.“I should have run it once,” Kitchens admitted. “Should have run it three times.”So why didn’t he?“I just did not,” Kitchens said. (Technically Darren Fells Jersey , that’s an accurate explanation, even if not very insightful.)“I was being facetious,” he added regarding his statement that he should have run the ball three times. “I should have ran it one time. I should have. That is why I am kicking myself in the ass for it right now.”It all adds up to a very basic, candid self-assessment from Kitchens: “We did not win the game so I do not think I did very good.”The Browns are not doing very good this season, with a 1-2 record and real challenges looming against the Ravens and 49ers.
