ESPN Cleveland's Tony Rizzo has downplayed concerns about Jim Schwartz potentially leaving as the Browns' defensive coordinator. Rizzo suggested that maintaining an elite defensive unit wouldn't require much from whoever takes over, stating that Mike Rutenberg would need just 'half a brain' to keep the Browns defense at a high level.
The comments come amid speculation about Schwartz's future with the team, though Rizzo's remarks indicate confidence in the defensive coaching structure regardless of who is leading it.
