Despite the Cleveland Browns' disappointing 3-13 record and playoff elimination, defensive star Myles Garrett expresses confidence in the team's young defensive core. He emphasizes the progress made despite the challenges of a rebuilding season and the need for continued growth.
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Myles Garrett made his intentions known 10 days ago. He doesn’t want to stick around for a rebuild in Cleveland.How the Browns won despite losing to the Dolphins: NFL Week 17 fact or fiction
“You still got a lot of young guys who are new to this system, new to Schwartz and myself, still building that chemistry but still going out there and making plays,” Garrett said on Sunday night. “It’s all learning to jell. Some guys have been thrust into action and really gone out there and showed their behind.
The Browns went from first in overall defense to 20th . They went from the top-ranked passing defense to the 16th . Last year’s 11th-ranked rushing defense is now ranked 20th. And then there’s the fact that the Browns are the worst team in the league when it comes to giveaways. They had 37 heading into Sunday, and Dorian Thompson-Robinson threw an interception and lost a fumble against Miami to add to the total.Star linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah is on injured reserve and hasn’t played since Week 8, when he suffered a scary neck injury against the Ravens. Cornerback Greg Newsome II is on IR with a hamstring injury.
There also have been a few younger players stepping up -- notably edge rusher Isaiah McGuire, who recorded a sack on Sunday and now had 2.5 for the year. He also has three forced fumbles, tied for the team lead with Garrett.
