Chris Pokorny of Dawgs by Nature took the time to answer five questions surrounding this weekend’s upcoming matchup between the 49ers and the Browns in what figures to be a defensive battle. Let’s get right into it.
1. Cleveland’s defense has been historically good through 4 games. What has been the key to their dominant performances and how has new DC Jim Schwartz put their players in advantageous positions?
There were some lapses in the second quarter against the Baltimore Ravens (-4)
that contributed to the team’s loss, but besides that, the defense has played very fast with sure tackling and tight coverage.
