BEREA, Ohio -- On the first play of last week’s preseason game, the Washington Commanders attempted a zone-read play. But new Cleveland Browns defensive end Ogbonnia Okoronkwo snuffed out the play for no gain.
On Washington’s ensuing drive, Cleveland’s other new edge rusher, Za'Darius Smith, swooped inside of right tackle Andrew Wylie, creating a beeline to Commanders quarterback Sam Howell. All Wylie could do after was was hold Smith, which led to a penalty that resulted in a safety.
