Browns actually ran 35.9 pass plays per game last year. Pittsburgh led the league with 43.1.

Improvements on both sides of the ball may lead us to running more offensive plays this year than we did last year. So rather than divvying up 33 passes per game as has been discussed, the number could be around 40 or so.
Truthfully it depends. An improved defense to go with the offense could mean the Browns have a lot of leads late in the game. That would not equate to more passes, it would mean more running plays because they aren't trying to come back all the time.
I don't think they'll be at 40. Kitchens is a former RB coach, he clearly values the position and we have a ton of talent there. If anything, the number might drop.
