Bruce Drennan Points To Root Of Browns’ Ongoing Struggles
The Cleveland Browns have been one of the least successful teams in pro sports in the past couple of decades. Long gone are the days of the franchise being an NFL powerhouse.
That has been the case regardless of who’s been the head coach, the quarterback, or the general manager. Clearly, the issues run deep.
With that in mind, analyst Bruce Drennan recently named who he believes is responsible for the Browns’ losing culture.
“Culture. I repeat: culture. The culture of the Cleveland Browns is that they always find a way to lose, not to find a way to win. Question: Is the losing culture going to change if [Kevin] Stefanski remains the coach? I don’t think so,” Drennan said.

Accountability Issues Plague Browns Despite Stefanski’s Efforts
To be fair, Stefanski isn’t the only person to blame for the state of things. He’s done a good job with the hand he’s been given.
But at this point, it might not even matter whether he’s a good coach or not. It’s a matter of accountability. It’s hard to keep players focused and motivated when everybody gets to keep their jobs regardless of the outcome.
Almost no one gets benched. It doesn’t matter how bad a game they have.
Things may have run their course under this coaching staff. While getting a new head coach isn’t going to fix all the underlying issues with the Browns and their culture, the turnaround has to start somewhere.
The talent is there, especially with the young rookies, but there has to be a clearer standard for performance. Coaching leadership goes a long way in establishing an identity.
A big move, whether the front office or leadership, may be necessary to signal a new era and give both fans and players reason to believe change is possible.
Leonard Williams Sends Warning to Rams: ‘We’re Not Just Playing, We’re Dominating — Get Ready for a War!’
As the Seattle Seahawks prepare for their Week 11 clash against the Los Angeles Rams, defensive lineman Leonard Williams has issued a bold and unflinching statement that the Rams are about to face one of the toughest defensive fronts in the NFL. With the stakes high in this NFC West showdown, Williams made it clear that when the Seahawks take the field, they won’t just be playing — they’ll be dominating.
This confident and fiery message from Williams sets the stage for what promises to be a physical and intense battle. The Seahawks’ defensive line, already known for its tenacity and ability to disrupt opposing offenses, is ready to take things to the next level. With the Rams’ high-powered offense, led by veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford, coming into town, the pressure is on the Seahawks to impose their will and control the game from the start.
Dominating the Line of Scrimmage
For Williams, it’s all about the battle in the trenches. The defensive line has been a cornerstone of the Seahawks’ defense, and Williams is at the heart of it. With his ability to collapse the pocket, disrupt the run, and create havoc in the backfield, Williams is ready to prove that the Rams won’t be able to dictate the pace of the game.
“The Rams have a good offense, but we know what we’re capable of,” Williams continued. “We’ve been preparing for this moment, and we’re ready to bring it. Our defensive line is built to dominate, and we’re going to make sure they feel every single snap.”
Williams’ words are not just talk — they’re a reflection of the Seahawks’ mentality heading into this critical matchup. The Seahawks’ defensive front is aggressive, physical, and relentless, and they’re determined to make life difficult for Stafford and the Rams’ skill players. By setting the tone early and establishing control of the line of scrimmage, the Seahawks believe they can limit the Rams’ offensive production and give their team the best chance to win.
The Importance of the Game
This game is more than just a regular-season contest — it’s a statement game for both teams. The Rams and Seahawks are currently tied for the lead in the NFC West, and a victory here would give the winner a crucial advantage in the division race. With the stakes this high, Williams’ message is clear: the Seahawks are ready to fight for the top spot in the division, and they’ll do whatever it takes to get there.
For Williams, this game is also a chance to prove that the Seahawks’ defense can dominate against elite competition. The Rams’ offense, while potent, has shown vulnerabilities this season. By applying constant pressure on Stafford, forcing him into uncomfortable situations, and shutting down the run game, the Seahawks believe they can neutralize the Rams’ attack and give their offense a chance to shine.
Setting the Tone
Williams’ confidence and leadership are contagious. His words have set the tone for the entire defensive unit, and the Seahawks are ready to deliver on the promise of dominating the Rams. With a ferocious defensive line and a game plan to impose their will, the Seahawks are prepared for the battle ahead.
“This is our time,” Williams said. “We’ve worked too hard to let this opportunity slip away. We’re going to make sure the Rams know they’re in for a war, and when the game’s over, there won’t be any doubt who controlled it.”
As the Seahawks head into this crucial matchup, they’re fired up and ready to show the NFL that they’re not just contenders — they’re a team that dominates. The Rams will have to bring their best if they want to compete with the intensity and power of the Seahawks' defensive line.
