CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Browns are counting on edge rusher Za’Darius Smith to follow up a strong first season with the Browns with another good season rushing the passer and it’s why he is one of our 15 keys to the Browns winning the Super Bowl.
Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe spend Tuesday’s Orange and Brown Talk podcast discussing Smith and what to expect from him in his second season with the Browns.
They talk about why the Browns decided to bring Smith back and what to realistically expect from him in his second season on the other end of Myles Garrett. How can Smith and Garrett be better together this season and how will Smith continue to benefit from Garrett and Jim Schwartz’s scheme.
They also talk about how the Browns have approached their No. 2 edge rush position and how it has been impacted by the lack of a first-round pick the last three drafts.
