SUMMARY
Def / ST Rank: #29   
Overall: #322

The Browns defense struggled last season, ranking 26th overall while allowing 21.9 points per game. Their rush defense was horrific, allowing over 150 yards per game. The Browns hope the additions of linebackers Eric Barton and David Bowens provide some stability and playmakers to the defensive side of the ball. A healthy Shaun Rogers would go a long ways as well to helping the Browns porous rush defense. The secondary has a few playmakers in cornerbacks Eric Wright and Brandon McDonald, but these aren't shutdown guys. And the pass rush didn't help the secondary much last season, totaling just 17 sacks. Bowens and defensive end Corey Williams will need to make a lot more plays against the quarterback if this defense hopes to get things turned around. Josh Cribbs is a big plus for the Browns return game. He had a kick return touchdown last season and averaged over 25 yards per kick return last season. Cribbs is a playmaker.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Won't get you many sacks or interceptions and will give up some points and yards. But the positive of this unit is a good return game, which gives them a little fantasy value.
