In Week 10, the Cleveland Browns were obliterated by the New England Patriots. After that game, Myles Garrett was vocal about his critique of the coaching staff. Joe Woods, the defensive coordinator, responded to Garrett on Thursday.
According to Jake Trotter, Woods claims “that stuff doesn't really bother me,” in regards to Myles Garrett criticizing the Browns coaching staff. Furthermore, Joe Woods continues to on, as he “points out Browns forced a three-and-out immediately after halftime.”
Joe Woods on Myles Garrett publicly decrying lack of adjustments defensively in New England: “That stuff doesn’t really bother me…” points out #Browns forced a three-and-out immediately after halftime

Although the Browns defensive coordinator points out the three-and-out stop after halftime, the rest of the game from Cleveland was atrocious. Myles Garrett had every right to critique the coaching staff.
The Browns lost to the Patriots 45-7. It was an embarrassing game for the franchise. Choosing to focus on one particular play in a blowout loss isn't the best look from the coaching staff. This was a moment for Joe Woods to acknowledge his faults, give credit to Myles Garrett for being a leader, and light a fire under the defensive unit to take on the Detroit Lions.
Even so, according to Sports Illustrated, “despite these public criticisms, Woods claims that he and Garrett still have a solid relationship.” At the very least, the relationship between Garrett and the Browns coaching staff doesn't seem to be hindering. That's a great sign for Cleveland.
It's important for players and coaches to hold each other accountable. For now, the Browns look to move on from their Week 10 beating as they aim to bounce back against the winless Lions.
We'll see how it plays out, as the Browns should be able to walk away with a win on Sunday. However, based on how this season has gone, Cleveland could be in for a massive upset if they're not careful.
