Browns defensive coordinator Jim O’Neil has been the subject of scrutiny in recent weeks as his defense ranks 32nd in the league in total yards allowed. If you ask O’Neil, however, he’ll be the first person to tell you how great his defense is.
During Thursday’s press conference in Berea, O’Neil opened up by telling members of the media, “I thought our tackling improved from the previous week. Our guys did a good job. I thought they brought that mindset that we talked about. I thought we had some guys really step up.”
If week four’s epic collapse in San Diego is what any of the coaches consider to be “a good job”, then there is no hope Browns fans when it comes to this regime.
