In short order, the Cleveland Browns have looked to address their defensive issues after their Week 5 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. First, they traded for LB Deion Jones with the hope that he can recover the level of play he had earlier in his career to help make up for the loss of LB Anthony Walker Jr.
Unfortunately, linebackers are only as good as the defensive linemen, specifically defensive tackles, that line up in front of them. If the interior of the defensive line is getting blown off the ball and allowing offensive linemen to climb to the second level, it can be tough for linebackers to be productive.
