Browns 3 safeties look could continue in 2023 with ‘Coach McLeod’

The Cleveland Browns moved on from Joe Woods and hired Jim Schwartz to replace him as the team’s defensive coordinator this offseason. That move is likely the biggest one of all the moves made this offseason by the team.

Besides failing to stop the run and often having blown coverages, Woods was most known for wanting to have three safeties on the field as often as possible. In a vacuum, the idea makes a lot of sense in today’s modern NFL where throwing the ball with versatile weapons is all the rage.

Like most things, it didn’t work that well for Woods but it looks like Schwartz may dip into the three-safety look as well in 2023.
