Could Modernized Film Study Lead Cleveland Browns To Super Bowl?

The Cleveland Browns are currently renovating their training facility in Berea and have potentially revolutionized the way film studies will be done.

The Cleveland Browns are back in Berea after recently returning from the start of training camp at The Greenbrier in West Virginia. The Browns' training facility is looking different upon the return though. With major renovation currently happening, one big addition to the facility could revolutionize the way that teams study film.

Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer posted a video from inside the facility on Monday. Two new "experiential" learning rooms have been added to the facility. The floor of the large rooms emulate a football field, while several projectors display game film on the wall ahead. This will allow players to position themselves and actively work through the play. This is a very different approach from just watching film while sitting in a chair in a meeting room.

The large rooms are nothing short of impressive and seem like a smart use of technology. Could these rooms help lead the aspiring Browns to the Super Bowl?

A modernized approach to watching film cannot hurt by any means, but it won't be the sole factor in the Browns making a deep playoff push. What this is another example of is Jimmy and Dee Haslam investing further into the future of the Cleveland Browns. The willingness of the owners to invest in the facilities, the staff and star players in recent times has been very clear.

Right now the Cleveland Browns appear to be in a good spot with their front office, coaching staff and roster. A team that has stability and is winning consistently always has an easier time of attracting the top free agents. Some bonus perk features like "experiential" learning rooms and even a golf simulator in the player's lounge can only help.

In nearly one month, the team will be back at Cleveland Browns Stadium for the start of the regular season. That is when they get to prove what they can really do this season and if a Super Bowl is truly within realistic reach.
