Browns - 9th in YPG allowed, 3rd in YPP allowed, 23rd in PPG allowed


Considering the current choice seems to be Haslett (Status Quo), yeah Horton would be a good option. Yeah, their red zone defense wasn't great, but comparatively..................

Plus, according to (NFL Football Stats - NFL Team Opponent Red Zone Scoring Percentage (TD only) on TeamRankings.com), Cleveland RedZone TD scoring percetage was 64 percent, ours was 63.33. If those two things are equal, wouldn't you want the team that allows less yards (and less red zone trips) overall?
