The days of bad Joe Woods’ defense are in the past for the Cleveland Browns. The question is whether or not Jim Schwartz’s defense will be enough improvement to help the team make it to the next level.
Under Woods, miscommunication in the secondary and a failure to stop the run up front provided a two-prong failure in many games. GM Andrew Berry added FS Juan Thornhill to help with the backend and a wide variety of new additions on the defensive line should take care of the needs up front.
Ultimately, talent is only one part of the equation, coaching is the other.
