For what it’s worth, Cleveland Browns cornerback Denzel Wards is backing his defensive coordinator Joe Woods.
Everybody has to hear the fans’ repeated outcries for Woods firing, hence the viral hashtag #FireJoeWoods that trends after every Browns’ loss.
Ward disagrees with all the blame being placed on Joe.
What Ward Said
He has confidence in his DC.
“I think Joe’s a great D Coordinator…if something happens out there it’s not just Joe…we’re all in this together…I don’t think all the pressure, all the blame should be on Joe.”
#Browns Denzel Ward on Joe Woods: "I think Joe's a great D Coordinator…if something happens out there it's not just Joe…we're all in this together…I don't think all the pressure, all the blame should be on Joe."

Everyone’s Job Is At Stake
With the Browns at 3-7, not one person on the coaching staff or on the roster should feel as though his job is secure.
The Browns have a lot more talent than other teams who find ways to win games and have a better record.
If Ron Rivera can be 6-5 with that raging dumpster fire in DC, there is no excuse for Kevin Stefanski to be 3-7 with the talent he has with #Browns. Comes down to coaching and leadership.

Ward Said The Right Thing To The Press
What players say to the press should be very different than what is discussed in the locker room.
Ward’s words of support for his DC are great for the press to hear.
Behind closed doors, there should be a reckoning among everyone to stop this chronic losing and these lackluster performances.
This team is far too talented and has a young roster of players in their prime.
The losing needs to stop, and this team needs to play up to its potential.
It’s time to show that potential week in and week out beginning with the Week 12 game against Tampa Bay.
Yes ,most of the blame should be on woods, his defense is soft, not enough aggression corners sit back 10 yards on a 3rd and 3, they should blitz more, they get no turnovers, running backs out of the backfield are never covered, does Denzel Ward even know Joe woods? ,he is always injured never plays a whole season but I’ll bet he gets paid for a full season.
Defensive tackles on this team are weeks, they can’t get off of blocks, they can’t rush the passer, they don’t get their hands up, cornerbacks and linebackers don’t run to the football, in the buffalo game John Johnson stood there watched the receiver catch the ball, bobble the ball stumble and still waited for the receiver to get to him, no aggression on this team except for Garrett, why did the Browns let guys like Sheldon Richardson go, Baltimore is always bringing in good defensive linemen like calis Campbell, but not the Browns they have to have all these young players that suck and can’t stop the run.
Denzel Ward is a class act . Only a classless player or a so called fan, (usually are the ones who do not financially support the Browns) are the ones who are the loudest and cruelest. And are not even thought about among the Great and Loyal Browns fans everywhere. Denzel Ward plays the same average game per played as the top corner backs in the NFL. and at a very high pro bowl level. Does so much for the community. Does not deserve the comments above. And what real Browns fan publicly rips there team. We should be upset when the lose. But why would you publicly humiliate something or someone you love . Hopefully coach Woods feels the love and support from Denzel and others. GO BROWNS!
Ward needs to watch his own back Woods won’t be around to protect him next season just saying.
