New Browns DC Gregg Williams wants defense to play 'meaner'

CLEVELAND -- Gregg Williams talked tough.

Now he has to get the Browns to play that way.

Cleveland's new defensive coordinator made quite a first impression during a fiery, 48-minute introductory news conference Thursday in which the former Buffalo head coach vowed to bring out the best in his players but refused to address his NFL suspension.

Williams, who spent the past three seasons overseeing the Rams' defense, addressed topics ranging from his passion for coaching to his respectful relationship with Browns coach Hue Jackson during his meeting with reporters at the team's facility.
