The Browns have secured Gregg Williams to be their next defensive coordinator. Done deal. Wholesale changes coming to defensive staff

Told Gregg Williams will be bringing assts. Brandon Fisher, Dennard Wilson & Blake Williams to #Browns. Possibly more.

I think I like the Gregg Williams hire as defensive coordinator for Hue Jackson and the Browns. It’s not just because the Rams were ninth in team defense this year, because they had some awful games. But it’s because Williams is not going to stand for 4.6 yards per rush (Cleveland’s porous defensive number this year) or 36 passing touchdowns (which Cleveland allowed this year).

He’s going to make mediocrity uncomfortable. He’ll fire people (if he can), or at least bench them. If Jamie Collins re-signs, Williams will challenge him to get the lack of discipline out of his game. Good pick by Hue Jackson.

What if Williams goes after Trumaine and TJ? He could try to poach defensive talent.

It would take more money than LA offers.

They aren’t going to leave Los Angeles for Cleveland just because they like GW. Cleveland is worse than the Rams, and farther away from contention, and…Cleveland.

I don’t think they would turn down more money to stay in LA, but if they feel comfortable with GW and the scheme he’s gonna run…I absolutely think he could be looking to poach some guys and they would be interested.

That said…Cleveland has a couple of good corners in Haden and Taylor. Thing is, Cleveland ran a 3-4 last year…wonder if GW switches that up?
