Todd Monken, the new Cleveland Browns head coach, has a defensive dilemma with Jim Schwartz, the current coordinator, whose future with the team is uncertain. Monken, who respects Schwartz but didnt hire him for the top job, is confident in the defenses ability to stay aggressive and effective, even if Schwartz leaves. Players like Myles Garrett and Denzel Ward have mixed feelings about Schwartzs potential departure. Schwartz, still under contract, is yet to decide on his future. Monken assures that the defensive system will remain the same, focusing on letting players attack and play free.
