Dalvin Tomlinson talked about what he think has been special about the unit so far.
The line has always been his bread and butter as a defensive coordinator, with his scheme focused on everything starting with pressure up front, rotation, allowing his ends to line up wider to generate more favorable one-on-one matchups, and expecting more out of his tackles in the middle than just eating up double teams.
“You don’t have to just hold up blocks the whole time,” Tomlinson said. “You could go get some TFLs, get some QB hits, some sacks and stuff like that and it’s built for us to be more productive up front. I feel like that’s something you pray for your whole football career since you was a kid playing D-line.”
Smith, who was Tomlinson’s teammate last season in Minnesota, was the Browns’ biggest acquisition of the offseason. Okoronkwo and Tomlinson were also offseason free agent signings -- with Tomlinson getting the largest contract this Browns regime has ever given to an interior D-lineman at. The Browns also just signed free agent Shelby Harris two weeks ago to help beef up the interior line.
Tomlinson and Smith got some experience together doing that in Minnesota last year, so it’s been somewhat familiar for them.
