BEREA, Ohio — Denzel Ward had the barb ready to go when the topic of his old coach came up.
A year after former Browns defensive coordinator and interim head coach Gregg Williams called the cornerback out for his “stupid” tackling, Ward is preparing to face Williams and the Jets on Monday night.
“I know he’s definitely pumped up. Coming in, he’s going to try to beat us obviously,” Ward said Tuesday in the Browns locker room.
“I’m just hoping, me personally, I can avoid my stupid tackling when going against him,” Ward continued, with a big grin.
