Browns' Pro Bowl linebacker reveals key defensive tactics

Yahoo Sports

The new addition to the linebacker room had a interesting description of his playstyle.

The Cleveland Browns lost Devin Bush in free agency, but they found a suitable replacement, bringing in former New York Jets linebacker Quincy Williams , reuniting him with his former linebackers coach, Mike Rutenberg. He spoke with the media for the first time as a Cleveland Brown, and he had an interesting way of describing his playing style. Williams said he plays linebacker like "a cheetah chasing a gazelle when he first wakes up.

" I'll admit I don't think anyone has described their play in such an interesting way. But when you turn on his tape, you can understand exactly what he means, and it makes sense. Williams is a good athlete with great sideline-to-sideline speed to cover a lot of ground in a hurry, much like a cheetah.

He also brings an enforcer mentality. Not only is he a reliable tackler, but he is also a guy who is looking to punish ball carriers and make his presence felt on every play he makes. This article originally appeared on Browns Wire: Quincy Williams describes his playstyle
