Deshaun Watson gets the headlines, but Jim Schwartz’s staggering defense is carrying the Browns.
We are merely three weeks into this season, but a Browns defense that was suspect a year ago is doing things not seen in this league since the start of the millennium — and in some cases, never at all. You have to go back to the 1999 Buccaneers defense – with future Hall of Famers in their prime at all three levels — to find this level of mastery, with the Browns’ 491 total yards surrendered the fewest after three games since those Bucs allowed 430.
“That’s a totally different defense with Schwartz running it,” said an executive for a team that has already faced the Browns, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he isn’t permitted to comment on rival rosters. “They added some players, yeah, but you have to give him a lot of the credit. That’s a major upgrade at defensive coordinator. They got a lot smarter with him running the defense.
“I told him he’s finally [being bold] and he always texts me back a smiling face. He’s bringing the fire zones with five-man pressures and man-to-man six-man pressure and doing a great job of creating down and distance advantages.”The Browns’ film this season has also entertained DePaul — who has known Schwartz since 1989 when he was a graduate assistant at Maryland looking for an NFL break and DePaul was just getting started as a coaching assistant under Joe Gibbs.
