The Cleveland Browns need and are expecting a lot from new defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz this upcoming season. While GM Andrew Berry needs to add talent, HC Kevin Stefanski needs to both get the offense to the next level and keep the team together and special teams coordinator Mike Priefer needs to get his unit sorted out, a lot of pressure will be on Schwartz.
Cleveland’s defense gave up a ton of big plays last year. When that wasn’t happening, the run game was failing to stop almost anyone. There is very little that went well for the Browns on that side of the ball.
