The Cleveland Browns hiring of Joe Woods as defensive coordinator has created some excitement considering he is coming from the staff that led arguably the best defense in the league last season.
Woods is an experienced defensive coach who has accumulated knowledge from being on solid defensive staffs over the past several years. It has allowed him to pick the brains of some great defensive minds, including Wade Phillips.
Having worked with some great defensive minds, it has allowed Woods to figure out the schemes that work best to slow down a defense. Especially after learning from his two seasons as a defensive coordinator in 2017 and 2018, Woods should be more prepared for the role.
