Browns Mailbag: Why do Browns rotate so many players on defense?

Based on the parking lot outside of the Browns training facility and the timing of this mailbag, It’s not a normal week in Berea.

Players are out of town until Tuesday and we’re rolling out this weekly segment 24 hours later than usual. We’ll all be back to our usual routine next week -- sort of. The Monday night kickoff will shake up the schedule just a bit before Cleveland hits the home stretch.

On to the questions.

Why do we have to keep people on defense fresh these days? I don't see an advantage of changing out your starters vs second string.
