Cleveland Browns: 3 expectations for Nick Chubb
Cleveland Browns zone scheme will work in his favor
New coach Kevin Stefanski will usher in a zone blocking scheme similar to what Browns’ fans saw when Kyle Shanahan was coordinating the offense back in 2014.
Will Chubb thrive as a result of the switch? As Cleveland.com’s Terry Pluto noted, the great ones find a way to produce, no matter what’s being thrown at them.

As for the last time the zone blocking scheme was employed here? The Browns looked to finally have a credible running game as Terrance West, Isaiah Crowell and Ben Tate rushed for a tick over 1,500 yards.
