Cleveland Browns defense pulling in opposite directions -- Bud Shaw's Sports Spin

CLEVELAND, Ohio – You know the problem with the Cleveland Browns defense? Too complicated.

You know another problem with the Cleveland Browns defense? Too simple.

Wait.

What?

Two inside-the-locker-room takes on the Browns defense – less than a month apart -- pretty well frame the confounding nature of a season nearing its midway point.

The Browns are either too decipherable (the post-San Diego suggestion) or too complicated for their own good (this week's gripe from unnamed Browns defenders.)

Both can't be true, right?

Better hope not.

Because if it's possible opponents such as Philip Rivers know the Browns better than the Browns know the Browns, oh boy.
