 regarding your comment on the "big question"....
the staff wlll explain the "new plan" to their position groups, over & over....
 but w/ so much turn over I think the early problem will be learning to play as a unit....jelling as a group...
& w/ only 16 games no team wants a slow start....w/ our 1st four games at Indy, balt on TNF at home then at Panthers & at Falcons...if we're 2-2 at the 1/4 mark i'll feel ok....
but at some point we can't split....we have to jell & try to win 10 games & the AFC North div...
call me a crazy loner but I almost fear the Browns this year as much as I do the Stealers or Rat Birds....the Browns offense will put up points....question is will their D hold up...

To bolded, the more I listen to or read things that the coaching staff say and do, the more convinced I am that they will have everyone on the same page.  With particular regard to Coaches Lazor and Pollack, those two appear to be more focused determined than we've seen on the offensive side of the ball in a few years.

As to the gelling part, I think that with Andy and AJ going into their eighth year, and all of the other primary skill players having been here at least last year, they will come together rather quickly.  The OL is obviously going to be the biggest area of concern, as far as developing into a single, cohesive unit.

Defensively, I have a feeling that we're all going to be pleasantly surprised at how dominant they are going to be.  The additions of veterans Baker and Brown are just what he Dr. ordered, in terms of bolstering the front seven while the guys drafted in the past few years continue to assume full time roles.
