#HeyTony: What was the most encouraging development of the Browns’ 2020 season?

Editor’s note: Tony Grossi is a Cleveland Browns analyst for TheLandOnDemand.com and 850 ESPN Cleveland.

Hey Tony: Happily there is a lot to choose from. But what were you most encouraged by with what you saw from the Browns this past season?

-- Kris, Tampa, FL

Hey Kris: There were plenty of positives. If I had to choose just one, I’d say that Kevin Stefanski showed he is the rock of the team, an unflappable leader in the eye of a storm. Somebody once told me the head coach is the most important person in an NFL organization. If you buy that, the Browns appear in great shape going forward.

Hey Tony: Any thinking from the Browns on Greedy Williams? At some point they have to decide if he’s part of the future, or not.

-- Matt, Dublin, OH

Hey Matt: Two years on his rookie contract is not the point to part ways with Williams.

Hey Tony: Some fans feel we've already moved on from Greedy and Grant Delpit. How close are we to doing that?

-- Bob, Newmarket, NH

Hey Bob: Patience. Both players were hurt last year in training camp. GM Andrew Berry said he’s excited about having them both back on the field next season.

Hey Tony: Do you think the NFL will allow people to attend the draft? What about tailgating at the muny lot?

-- Jean, Canton, OH

Hey Jean: Every time I’ve asked about this the answer is all systems are go, but planners are prepared to adjust accordingly if circumstances require changes. The draft is April 29-May1. Keep your fingers crossed.

Hey Tony: I think Kareem Hunt was underused this season. Hard to criticize Stefanski, but more short passes and screens were in order. Let Hunt try to make the first tackler miss, then look out. Plus Hunt has a ferocious nose for the end zone. Do you agree with me?

-- Tim, Dana Point, CA

Hey Tim: Hunt’s 11 touchdowns (six rushing, five receiving) were second on the team to Nick Chubb’s 12. So it’s hard to argue he was underused. I’d like to see both on the field together much more than one play a game. Maybe a more normal offseason and training camp will allow time to incorporate a two-back package. I’d rather have them handling the ball than a second tight end.

Hey Tony: With several opt-outs on the O-line returning next year, any real need to further address this position group in the offseason?

-- Matt, Columbus, OH

Hey Matt: The offensive linemen expected back from opt-outs are guards Drew Forbes and Colby Gossett, and tackle Drake Dorbeck. Others under contract are Chris Hubbard, Nick Harris, Michael Dunn, Blake Hance, Anthony Fabiano and Malcolm Pridgeon. I think they need to re-sign Kendall Lamm or find another capable veteran tackle. Otherwise, just replenish periodically through mid- to late-round draft picks.

Hey Tony: Can the Browns put together back-to-back winning seasons for the first time since 1988-89?

-- Karl, Park Hills, KY

Hey Karl: I don’t see why not.

Hey Tony: Is the 100 years war officially over?

-- Josh, Galena, OH

Hey Josh: No, the Hundred Years War officially is over when the Browns reach the Super Bowl for the first time. We’re on Year 55. (Keep in mind, the real Hundred Years War lasted 116 years.)

Hey Tony: Any chance Coach will turn over the play calling duties to AVP? Maybe become more of an overseer?

-- Steve, Cleveland, OH

Hey Steve: I think Alex Van Pelt will have an audition as play-caller if preseason games are held this summer. I’d hesitate to change, however, because it worked out pretty well with Stefanski calling plays with input from AVP and others. I like Stefanski’s composure under fire.

Hey Tony: What kind of deal would it take for JJ Watt?

-- Will, South Euclid, OH

Hey Will: The Texans are without first- and second-round picks in the coming draft. I’d assume they’d want to something in those rounds for Watt.

Hey Tony: Do the Browns expect Case Keenum back as back up or bring in someone else?

-- Dale, Denver, CO

Hey Dale: Most multi-year free agent deals essentially are written to bind the player to the team for a minimum of two years. Keenum’s is no different. He signed for $18 million over three years. If the Browns released him now, they’d create $5.16 million in dead (or wasted) cap space. Waiting until next year reduces that dead cap space to $1.33 million. So, yes, he’ll be back.

Hey Tony: Do you think Joe Woods is capable of adjusting his scheme which calls for an elite pass rusher like Myles Garrett too often being concerned about containment?

-- Phil, Cleveland, OH

Hey Phil: I think Woods knows what he’s doing. He was handcuffed by numerous injuries on defense this year. As for being concerned about containment, lack of containment is what allowed Chad Henne to rush for 17 yards on third down and set up fourth-and-1 to close out the Browns in the divisional playoff game.

Hey Tony: Since you were once a baseball HOF voter, if you had to vote one player in this year, who would you have voted for?

-- Matthew, Poland, OH

Hey Matthew: That’s easy. If I could cast only one vote, it would have gone to Roger Clemens.

Hey Tony: Will OBJ play another down for the Cleveland Browns?

-- Jim, Columbus, OH

Hey Jim: I believe so, yes.
