Browns will employ 4-3 defense this season

"The Browns revealed Friday they are changing their defensive scheme, but their commitment to quarterback Colt McCoy is unwavering.
Browns coach Pat Shurmur and General Manager Tom Heckert met with a group of local reporters at a hotel near Lucas Oil Stadium, the site of the NFL Scouting Combine. They confirmed the team will switch from a 3-4 defense to a 4-3 system and expressed faith in McCoy's ability to lead the Browns' West Coast offense for the foreseeable future.
Those two topics merely scratched the surface of the hourlong, question-and-answer session. Here are some of the others that were addressed:

Quarterback situation
Neither Shurmur nor Heckert ruled out the possibility of using the sixth overall pick in this year's draft toa quarterback, but they also acknowledged it's not likely. They said they're comfortable with McCoy as the starter, and elite prospects who play other positions will be available.
''I'm extremely excited about working with Colt and him being our guy,'' Shurmur said. . . . ''I think what we do do, though, and I learned this from [Philadelphia Eagles] coach [Andy] Reid, who obviously learned it from [Browns President Mike] Holmgren, you're always looking at the quarterback position in every draft. If you can find a guy that you think has the skill and ability to be a great one, then you obviously want to pursue it.''
In radio interviews leading up to the Super Bowl, McCoy said his throwing shoulder never fully healed after he injured it in the 2010 BCS National Championship Game. The Browns, though, aren't concerned.
''I think he meant that he was a little banged up during the season, but he's fine,'' Heckert said. ''Maybe during the season he was a little sore, but he's completely fine now.''
On Thursday, NFL Network analyst Mike Lombardi said McCoy needs to improve his strength. Shurmur, who served as the St. Louis Rams' offensive coordinator for the past two seasons, defended McCoy.
''I thoroughly evaluated Colt last year when [the Rams] went through the [draft] process with Sam [Bradford], and I'm excited about working with him,'' Shurmur said. . . . ''I don't have any questions about Colt's arm.''
