The Cleveland Browns are going through a bit of an identity crisis these days. Really, they are going through a couple of them. There is one crisis that is spread more broadly throughout the organization about where they are headed in the future, and another that is brewing specifically on the defense as they decide what sort of system they want to run.
At the moment, it appears as though they are hoping to generate some flexibility across both 3-4 and 4-3 base defensive fronts under new defensive coordinator Gregg Williams after primarily spending their most recent years in a more conventional 3-4 system.
