The Cleveland Browns reconfigured their secondary this off-season, and the new talent has forced defensive back Briean Boddy-Calhoun into not having a role in Gregg Williams’ defense.
Entering the regular season opener against the Steelers, Boddy-Calhoun played a significant portion of the game. The defensive back primarily played in the slot before being moved to safety at the end of the game. Against the Steelers, Boddy-Calhoun played 62 defensive snaps.
When Boddy-Calhoun was in the slot, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger seemed to have his eyes keyed on who Boddy-Calhoun was defending. Those match-ups led to multiple big gains for Pittsburgh, as Boddy-Calhoun was beat often.
