In his first year as the Browns' defensive coordinator, Horton immediately has put together a menacing unit that fits the mold and overwhelms opponents with speed, strength and power. The Browns are one of the few NFL teams with a lineup that features big guys who can run and little guys who can hit and cover. When playing in unison, Cleveland is capable of forcing opponents into a one-dimensional game plan that is difficult to sustain against a defense that is stout at the point of attack and explosive on the edges. Consequently, the Browns rank third in the NFL in total defense and eighth in points allowed.
