Former Cleveland Browns coach Gregg Williams, now the defensive coordinator for the New York Jets, is tasked with finding ways to beat his former quarterback Baker Mayfield and his associates on the offensive unit.
Like a leopard, Williams is not going to change his spots. He has installed his attacking defensive philosophy, derived from his mentor Buddy Ryan, in New York. That means he will try to sack the quarterback, disrupt him, and knock him out of the game if possible.
That intense desire got him in trouble in New Orleans with the “Bountygate scandal” but the fact of the matter is that NFL defenses really do try to hit their opponents as hard as they can, and even knock them out of the game or at least make them sore the next day.
