Ray Horton’s name was not one spoken of in kind tones during the 2016 season. Cleveland Browns fans watched his defense get torched on a weekly basis, although he was at the disadvantage of using a lot of inexperienced players.
Alas, he was let go in favor of Gregg Williams, most recently the defensive coordinator with the Los Angeles Rams.
Williams will also be dealing with younger players, but names like Jabrill Peppers and Myles Garrett instill quite a bit of confidence in fans.
Peppers is set to play safety after doing it all on defense at Michigan, and his athleticism allows Williams to use him in several different ways.
