The special teams unit for the Cleveland Browns had a less-than-inspiring start

to the regular season.During the club’s Week 1 tie with the Pittsburgh Steelers http://www.brownsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-jamie-collins-jersey , the special teams had a game-winning field goal blocked in overtime, struggled to control Pittsburgh’s return men on kicks, had a bad punt after a blocker was driven back into punter Britton Colquitt, and committed three penalties.While it didn’t result in a penalty, a fair catch in overtime by punt returner Jabrill Peppers when he had an open field in front of him did cost the Browns some valuable field position.Special teams coordinator Amos Jones looked to rectify that problem this week with a plan to replace Peppers with Antonio Callaway as the primary punt returner, but was overruled by head coach Hue Jackson, as Jones told clevelandbrowns.com:Normally it might raise a few eyebrows if a head coach Kevin Zeitler Jersey , even one in the “CEO” role like Jackson, contradicts the wishes of his coordinators. After all, the coordinators work with the players directly and presumably have an idea of the best fits for their units.But in the case of Jones, it might be such a bad idea to have someone looking over his shoulder.Jones spent the previous five years as the special teams coordinator with the Arizona Cardinals, who decided not to renew his contract after the 2017 season. During his time in Arizona, the special teams units were near the bottom of the league’s rankings on an annual basis. How bad was it? ESPN’s Josh Weinfuss detailed a few “highlights” near the end of last season:It was so bad that there is a website - fireamosjones.com - dedicated to detailing the transgressions.It has only been one game, and as has often been the case with the Browns in recent years there is “nowhere to go but up” for the special teams. And it is good that Jackson is paying attention to what Jones is up to with the special teams.But that also raises a big unanswered question. Why the heck did Jackson hire Jones in the first place? The Browns spent much of the first half in Chargers territory Authentic JC Tretter Jersey , but they have very little to show for it.Six drives past midfield resulted in just two field goals and Philip Rivers threw a pair of touchdown passes in the second quarter to leave the Chargers up 21-6 at the half. Both touchdowns were to Tyrell Williams and Melvin Gordon also ran for a score in the first quarter.Williams’ first score came on a 45-yard strike that came one play after he and Rivers hooked up for a 44-yard gain. Williams had three Browns around him, but wrestled the ball away for an impressive play. The second touchdown came on a play that saw some Browns appear to pause when Chargers tackle Russell Okung made what looked like a pretty blatant false start. No flag was thrown, however, and the Browns saw their deficit grow even larger.Baker Mayfield was able to rally the Browns for a field goal as time ran out in the second quarter, but has taken four sacks and completed just 14-of-28 passes while picking up a limp after slipping on a first down marker at the end of a six-yard run. Mayfield has hobbled a lot since that slip, but there’s been no sign that the Browns will be making a move to Tyrod Taylor to this point.
