The Browns defense had so many moving pieces and parts and fed off the Bengals' confusion in a big 24-3 win.
“Our D coordinator gave us the opportunity, just cut us loose and that’s big ups to Schwartz, man,” he said. “He knows what type of guys he have up front. Every guy can play every position. So moving around is big for us. And as you can see today, it worked perfectly.
Grant Delpit, Denzel Ward and Greg Newsome II all had deflected passes in the game. Martin Emerson Jr. spent most of the afternoon matched up with 6-foot-4 Tee Higgins, and the Bengals receiver had zero catches on eight targets. The unit looked confident, comfortable and in attack mode regardless of who was on the field for any given play. It was a promising first impression considering so many issues throughout the 2022 season -- particularly in early games -- were related to communication breakdowns as opposing receivers were left wide open, often with two or more Browns players pointing at each other in confusion.“I give all praise to Coach Schwartz,” Newsome said. “He expects that. He demands that.
