Mike Pettine will take a more hand-on approach upon the offense in his second season as head coach of the Cleveland Browns.

Pettine will sit in on meetings with new coordinator John DeFilippo and learn the playbook "just like a first-year player would learn it."

Kyle Shanahan was offensive coordinator last season and stepped down in the offseason with two years on his deal.

"I have flash cards to help me learn a lot of the formations," Pettine said Friday, per Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal. "It was like being a rookie."
