Somebody made the analogy, I think it was
@Amherstcavsfan, that the Browns defense was like a pitcher with a great fastball, but nothing else.
The offenses they faced that had the schematic chops to “sit on the fastball” so to speak, could really make this defense look foolish because Schwartz really didn’t have a second pitch/adjustment to get guys out that could hit a fastball.
You see postgame quotes like these from Garrett and it’s hard to be super optimistic about Schwartz and this defense moving forward because you’re going to face the best quarterbacks and best playcallers once you get to the playoffs.
If the best player is outright saying the defense only plays one way and ultimately they’re gonna live or die with that, I dunno man…
