The Cleveland Browns continue to look for a new defensive coordinator with their third interview on Saturday with Dennard Wilson. Two of the Browns’ first three interviews have been with coaches with drastically different philosophies from what Joe Woods ran. Brian Flores and Wilson both run defenses that are considered aggressive defenses using more pressure and blitzes to force opposing offenses into quick decisions or negative plays. Some fans are happy to hear this as they have called for the team to blitz more and be more aggressive for three years.
Even Jim Schwartz, the other candidate, is known for his ability to manipulate the defensive line and pressure the quarterback. Schwartz doesn’t utilize a ton of blitzes but rather is a coach that is incredibly creative in getting pressure from just the four defensive linemen.
It will be interesting to see if ultimately the team goes with an aggressive style coach that focuses on pressure or not. But it is clear early on this offseason that they plan on some big changes on the defensive side of the ball.
