The Cleveland Browns had a lot go wrong in the 2022 season.
While the defense carried much of the blame with far too many breakdowns, the special teams’ play was anything but special. That helps to explain why defensive coordinator Joe Woods and special teams coordinator Mike Priefer were replaced, respectively, by Jim Schwartz and Bubba Ventrone.
As the Browns prepare for their preseason opener on Thursday night against the New York Jets in the annual Hall of Fame Game, Ventrone provided some updates on Tuesday regarding the current state of the special teams unit.
