First-year defensive coordinator Mel Tucker says he's ready for the challenge of fixing a Cleveland Browns defense ranked 30th in the NFL. The former defensive backs coach cites his experience at Ohio State from 2001 to 2004 as a major reason he'll be able handle the increased pressure and responsibility.



The Columbus Dispatch : Former OSU coach thinks he can shore up Browns defense



So a college coach thinks he can help one of the worst defenses in the league. Personally, I think its going to take more than him. What does anyone else think??

Who knows, maybe he's the next Marvin Lewis. Me, personally? I'd rather have the last Marvin Lewis.

The big question I have is what happened to Romeo. He was hired because of the defense he was running in New England. Why are we not heading in that direction, and why are they so lousy if he is a defensive guru.

Well, he's like the anti-Brian Billick, I guess. The offense is coming together but the defense struggles, just the opposite of what happened in Baltimore.
