| | | CLEVELAND: New offensive coordinator John DeFilippo comes over from Oakland and this is going to be an offense centered on the run'offensive line coach Andy Moeller has a solid veteran unit to execute the Raiders' zone-blocking scheme. They preferred Terrance West a year ago, but Isaiah Crowell outplayed West and could be in for a bigger workload on early downs with West taking passing downs. Rookie Duke Johnson is a change-of-pace speedster who could force his way into the rotation. Like departed coordinator Kyle Shanahan, DeFilippo is a West Coast disciple. Dwayne Bowe arrives from Kansas City as a possession receiver while Brian Hartline will serve primarily as a deep threat. They won't throw often once they venture deep into opponents' territory, especially considering the frequency with which likely starting quarterback Josh McCown turned the ball over in Tampa last year.The Browns tied for fourth in the NFL with 29 takeaways last season. Their signing of CB Tramon Williams signals a lack of faith in CB Justin Gilbert, the 2014 draft's eighth overall pick, following his atrocious rookie year. DT Danny Shelton, this year's 12th overall pick, should help against the run. | | SAN DIEGO: The Chargers are a bit of a chameleon team in that they will go run-heavy when needed, shifting their identity from week to week. They will often lean heavily on a power blocking scheme installed by veteran line coach Joe D'Alessandris. They have the big bodies up front, and potentially the power back to replace Ryan Mathews in first-round pick Melvin Gordon. The rookie should step in as the bell-cow from Day 1, with smallish Branden Oliver his direct back-up. The Chargers utilize the no-huddle to get Philip Rivers a chance to diagnose defenses before the snap, something he excels at. Rivers makes most of his reads pre-snap in an offense predicated on getting the ball out quickly. Keenan Allen is the clear-cut No. 1, though Rivers is more than willing to go away from him when defenses roll coverage his way. They should go three receivers often, with Malcom Floyd stretching the field and Stevie Johnson creating mismatches underneath; he and Allen are outstanding route runners who can both play the slot. Antonio Gates is still a prominent weapon, though he has hinted at a reduced role with Ladarius Green rotating in more often. Gates is also suspended to start the season. The Chargers ranked ninth in total defense and tied for 13th in scoring defense a year ago, but it's a unit that doesn't make enough big plays. Only five NFL teams had fewer takeaways than San Diego in 2014, and only three intercepted fewer passes. |

*Browns-Chargers Preview* =========================
By JEFF BARTL STATS Senior Writer
Multiple Cleveland Browns have denied a report that there's dissension in the locker room over whether Johnny Manziel or Josh McCown should be the starting quarterback.
Coach Mike Pettine knows where the fans' allegiance lies after hearing chants for Manziel last week, but he wouldn't be surprised if his players had differing opinions on the topic.
Despite Manziel having led the Browns to their only victory and McCown being banged up, Pettine remains committed to starting McCown in Sunday's road matchup with the San Diego Chargers.
"Are we going to have one thousand-percent agreement on how we're using players? No," Pettine said. "It falls into coaches coach and players have their jobs to do. And are they going to have their opinions? Certainly. I'm confident there is no rift in the locker room. We're confident in our plan and we'll move ahead forward with it."
McCown suffered a concussion attempting to dive into the end zone on Cleveland's first drive of the season in a loss to the New York Jets. Manziel came on and connected with Travis Benjamin on a 54-yard touchdown pass, and the pair hooked up on a 60-yard TD the following week in a 28-14 victory over Tennessee.
Despite Manziel's success, Pettine decided to go back to McCown last week. He went 28 of 49 for 341 yards and two touchdowns but was intercepted in the final minute and the Browns (1-2) fell 27-20 to Oakland.
McCown also suffered a hand injury in that contest, though he doesn't expect it to be a problem against the Chargers (1-2). He's also dealing with a TMZ report that claimed three unnamed Browns starters would rather have Manziel starting under center, and he certainly heard the fans calling for the Heisman Trophy winner.
Linemen Joe Thomas, John Greco, Mitchell Schwartz questioned the report's authenticity, and Alex Mack and Joel Bitonio said they didn't contribute to anything that was written if it indeed was true.
"Control the controllables," Pettine said. "The only thing we know how to do is not get caught up in that. That stuff can drag you down emotionally. If you start to let the past sit on your shoulders - I won't allow it to happen to myself. I won't allow it to happen to this team."
San Diego's quarterback situation is completely clear, but protecting Philip Rivers has been an issue. He's been sacked four times in each of the last two weeks and had the wind knocked out of him in the third quarter of Sunday's 31-14 loss at Minnesota.
Rivers committed two turnovers and left the game in the fourth. He's been playing behind a damaged offensive line as D.J. Fluker has been dealing with a badly sprained left ankle and Chris Hairston has dealt with an ankle injury of his own.
Chris Watt suffered a groin injury against the Vikings, Orlando Franklin hurt his right ankle and King Dunlap suffered a concussion. San Diego signed J.D. Walton, who started every game at center for the New York Giants last year, and promoted Tyreek Burwell from the practice squad.
It's uncertain who will be healthy enough to play Sunday.
"The nature of this business is that when you're called upon to do your job, it doesn't matter if you started the game or not," said Trevor Robinson, who replaced Watt against the Vikings. "I think I'm confident in myself and confident in everybody. Whoever those five are, I'm confident we can give ourselves a chance to win."
The Chargers are fourth in total offense at 402.0 yards per game, but their eight turnovers are tied for second-most in the league. Their one sack is tied for the fewest.
"We'll do whatever it takes to fix this," McCoy said. "You've got to have thick skin in this business. We need to be more consistent in all three phases."
The Browns allowed 314 passing yards last week after giving up at least that many once last season. However, All-Pro cornerback Joe Haden played through a rib injury suffered on the game's first play.
Haden and safety Tashaun Gipson (groin) are considered day to day but should play Sunday.
