New Browns DC Gregg Williams vows to instill attitude in players: ‘I will not compromise on their effort and their toughness’

BEREA: Buckle up, Browns defenders. Gregg Williams is ready to get in your face and provide a culture shock.

“I will not compromise on their effort and their toughness,” he said. “People will talk about, everywhere I go and coach, and say, ‘Look at how fast those guys play.’ Some of it is not raw speed, it’s effort. It’s just effort. It is what it is on their speed, but they don’t loaf. They don’t take plays off, so that’s the hard part of them adjusting to me. That’s the hard part.”

Williams boldly delivered that message and so many more Thursday afternoon when the Browns introduced their new defensive coordinator to local media.
