September is here, the NFL season is around the corner and we've been watching this Browns team practice since July 22. In other words, we've had plenty of time to get a feel for things and figure out what we think about certain areas of the team.

Lastly, it's what they are most curious about heading into the 2023 season. They talk players, coaches and groups as they cover all three topics. Want to get involved in Football Insider?

We knew Cade York wasn't going to be on the Browns' 53-man roster -- the Browns traded for kicker Dustin Hopkins on Monday -- but could he land on the practice squad?

The Browns remade defense features a new coordinator in Jim Schwartz who loves the defensive line and the pass rush.

Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe talked about both pass rushers as they continue our 23 questions series. Will Smith get double digit sacks again and make the Pro Bowl?

Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski will finally have his franchise quarterback this week when the Browns travel to Houston to take on the Texans. How much pressure is on Stefanski over these final six games? One of our Football Insiders asked that very question on our Hey, Mary Kay! edition of the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast. Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe discuss all things Watson and the Browns on Tuesday's show. They also discuss Watson and how rusty he might be in his first game back and who he will help elevate when he takes the field. Then they get into Jacoby Brissett and where he fits among Browns starting quarterbacks since 1999 and expectations for the season's final six games. Can the Browns still make the playoffs?

On this postgame Orange and Brown Talk podcast, Doug Lesmerises, Mary Kay Cabot, Dan Labbe, Ashley Bastock and Irie Harris break down the Cleveland Browns' 23-17 overtime win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that lifted the Browns to 4-7 on the season. First, Doug and Mary Kay talk about what went right for the Browns and what the win might do for the team, with Deshaun Watson taking over as the starting quarterback next week. Then (14:39), Dan, Ashley and Irie join Doug to talk about whether Kevin Stefanski thought about going for 2 in the final minute of regulation. Then (16:30) the discussion turns to Jacoby Brissett and how he performed Sunday and in his 11 games as the Browns' starting quarterback. How much could this win lift the Browns? That's (24:08) the next topic, followed by a brief look at Cade York's missed field goal (33:49). Then it's the struggles of the offense in the second half (37:00), followed by David Njoku's huge touchdown catch to save the game and how much it swung the emotions around the Browns this week (46:10). Finally, Irie, Ashley and Dan each put a percentage (52:37) on how much better they think the Browns will be with Watson as opposed to Brissett.

The Browns aren't mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, but the outlook is bleak after their loss to the Bills on Sunday to drop to 3-7. Assuming they don't make a run, what is there left for fans to watch as they play out the string? It's one of the questions our Football Insider subscribers has on today's Hey, Mary Kay! edition of the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast. Mary Kay and Dan Labbe discuss this question and more. Will Joe Woods survive until the end of the season? If not, who could replace him? What's the future at both tackle positions? What would Mary Kay advise Andrew Berry to do this offseason?

This postgame Orange and Brown Talk Podcast breaks down Buffalo's 31-23 win over the Browns on Sunday. Mary Kay Cabot checks in off the top to discuss with Doug Lesmerises what went wrong for the Browns and whether this teams someone to provide a kick in the pants. Then (12:23), Dan Labbe, Ashley Bastock and Irie Harris join Doug to discuss the leadership issue and to discuss why the Browns keep starting hot on offense and then falling apart. The last segment (30:41) makes a comparison to self-driving cars and asks why, after the Browns moved on from Baker Mayfield in pursuit of a Super Bowl-level quarterback, they wouldn't view their coaching situation the same way. Because the view right now is that the Browns are not that well-coached. Thanks for listening to Orange and Brown Talk.

In 2018, the Browns had a choice to make: Baker Mayfield or Josh Allen (and a few others). They chose Mayfield. Five hears later, Allen is leading a contender in Buffalo and is a consistent MVP candidate. Mayfield is a bakcup for the Carolina Panthers and the Browns gave up the farm for Deshaun Watson. We’re starting Buffalo week with a look back and we’re redrafting the 2018 NFL Draft. What if the Browns had taken Allen? How would he have developed here? What would this team look like without Nick Chubb? What if Lamar Jackson didn’t land in Baltimore? Mary Kay Cabot, Doug Lesmerises, Ashley Bastock, Irie Harris and Dan Labbe take on all of those topics and more on our Wednesday Orange and Brown Talk.

On this postgame episode of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast, Mary Kay Cabot, Dan Labbe and Ashley Bastock are in Miami to report on the Browns' 39-17 loss to Miami, and Doug Lesmerises and Irie Harris join them to go over everything that went wrong in this blowout loss that dropped the Browns to 3-6. The Browns can't stop the run, and will that problem continue? How much did Mike McDaniel outcoach Kevin Stefanski? How much longer can defensive coordinator Joe Woods go on with the defense playing like this? Did Andrew Berry build a roster with fundamental problems? Do the Browns have any chance to get better before playing Buffalo and Tampa Bay the next two weeks? And how much should the return of Deshaun Watson in three weeks make things better?

The Miami Dolphins have an explosive passing attack. Tua Tagovaiola is playing better than he ever has. Tyreek Hill is on a record-setting pace. Jaylen Waddle isn't far behind. How will the Browns deal with this explosive passing game? Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe looked ahead to Sunday's game on Thursday's Orange and Brown Talk Podcast. What will this defense do to make sure they don't fall victim to blown coverages again? How will Myles Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney impact the game?

The Browns travel to Miami on Sunday to take on a Dolphins team playing well to start the season. Miami is battling with Buffalo in the AFC East and one of the teams the Browns are chasing in the Wild Card standings.

The Browns are 3-5 after eight games and coming off their bye week but they are hardly out of the playoff race, even if they'll need some help. Mary Kay Cabot starts off our weekly Hey, Mary Kay! podcast answering a question from one of our Football Insider subscribers about what would constitute a failure for this team this season. Is it playoffs or bust or did the Deshaun Watson suspension change that? Then, Mary Kay and Dan Labbe discuss Josh Allen's potential injury before they get into why the defense has improved so much over the last two games and whether this Sunday in Miami is a must-win.

The Browns turned in their best performance of the season Monday night as they dominated the Cincinnati Bengals, 32-13. Nick Chubb ran for two touchdowns and Myles Garrett and the Browns defense harassed Joe Burrow, sacking him five times and holding the Bengals to 229 total yards. Burrow has already been to the Super Bowl in just three NFL seasons. However, the Ohio native has yet to beat Cleveland, dropping to 0-4 in four career starts against Cincinnati’s AFC North rival. The Browns (3-5) ended a four-game losing streak. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett ran for a TD and passed for another, leading Cleveland to its fifth straight win over Cincinnati. He completed 17 of 22 for 278 yards and a 133.7 rating. Cleveland.com’s Dan Labbe, Mary Kay Cabot and Ashley Bastock break down the win, and whether it can jumpstart the Browns’ season going forward.

The Browns are off to a 2-5 start, but their future, both short and longterm, is tied to the return of Deshaun Watson.

The Browns moved on from Baker Mayfield this offseason, but it's left them in a pickle for 2022. They have to play 11 games without their new franchise quarterback, Deshaun Watson. Would they be better off, for this season only, with off-field issues out of the discussion, with the Jacoby Brissett-Deshaun Watson split or Baker Mayfield starting 17 games? That's one of the questions our Football Insider subscribers had for Mary Kay Cabot in the Hey, Mary Kay! edition of the podcast. They also had questions about the leash on Brissett, the importance of the first four games, players we're not talking enough about on offense and defense and more. Are you a die-hard Browns fan?

Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper is about 15 minutes into an interview. He’s just off the practice field, spending extra time to work routes. It’s hot and there’s no shade. He spent the first five minutes of the interview catching his breath between answers. He’s answering a question about his favorite route and you can tell he’s heard the question plenty of times before. Then he stops. “Check this out, right?” he says. “All the routes are really the same if you think about it.” That excerpt is from a story on Amari Cooper that ran on cleveland.com on Tuesday.

At this point, whether Baker Mayfield said what it was reported he said probably doesn't matter. It's out there and the Browns aren't going to shy away from using. Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock, Irie Harris and Dan Labbe delve deeper into this story as Mayfield denied saying what Cynthia Frelund originally reported he said. The problem is it's out there and Browns players probably won't be too forgiving. How much benefit of the doubt does Mayfield deserve given how often he's had to have backtracking press conferences? What impact will it have on the game regardless of whether it was said or not? Then they discuss Mary Kay's story on Michael Woods II and how it came together. Are you a die-hard Browns fan?

Baker Mayfield unintentionally made headlines on Tuesday when comments he made to NFL Network's Cynthia Frelund came out, via Frelund on a podcast, saying of the Browns he was going to "(expletive) them up." Kevin Stefanski played it cool. Myles Garrett played it a little less cool. Who do we believe when it comes to using the comments as motivation? Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock, Irie Harris and Dan Labbe discuss that before looking at the initial 53-man roster and what it tells us about the Browns this season. Then they talk Deshaun Watson's suspension starting, if the NFL should send players away from their teams while they're suspended and turning it forward to Jacoby Brissett for 11 games.

One of the bright spots in Browns training camp and preseason so far has been defensive end Alex Wright. He's had plenty of opportunity, too, with Myles Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney not playing in the preseason. Wright appears to have the third edge rusher job locked down and he's soaking up as much knowledge as possible from Garrett and Clowney as the third round pick embarks on the start of his NFL career. Dan Labbe caught up with Wright in the locker room after the game. Here's the interview presented as a bonus pod. Want to get involved in Football Insider? Click here for more info and to sign up.

In the second half of the podcast, they turn their attention to the football side of things. How do the Browns need to perform in the first 11 games to give themselves a chance?

It has been a week for Anthony Schwartz. The Browns receiver struggled on Friday night, but bounced back on Tuesday ahead of joint practices with the Eagles, putting an early drop behind him and catching a long touchdown pass from Jacoby Brissett in two-minute.

Then they discuss Myles Garrett and when he might be back before they offer up Browns players they are watching when Philadelphia comes to town on Thursday. Want to get involved in Football Insider?

Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson looked as sharp as he has all training camp on Monday. He has been playing with the second team the last two days with Jacoby Brissett moving up to the first team. Why does Watson seem so loose? Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe talked Watson's on-field performance on Monday before discussing the latest on the appeal process and what a year-long suspension would mean for how we judge the trade for Watson. Then they talk about Kareem Hunt and comments Stump Mitchell made on Monday about how he could be the best back in the league if he learned to be a more patient runner. Why did Mitchell feel it necessary to say it? Lastly, they get into Denzel Ward returning and why Demetric Felton's versatility is both a blessing and a curse.

Jacoby Brissett is the man now for the Browns -- or, at least, for the foreseeable future. As they prepare for life without Deshaun Watson, whether it's six games or more, the Browns and head coach Kevin Stefanski gave Jacoby Brissett most of the first-team work on Sunday and it will stay that way moving forward. Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe start the podcast by talking about the switch and spend time discussing what could prompt the NFLPA to take the NFL to court once the appeal ruling comes down. Then they get into how the Browns offense will look with Brissett compared to how it will look with Watson. In the second half of the podcast, they talk about Greg Newsome II dealing with a hamstring injury and revisit if the Browns should bring back JC Tretter to play center.

We begin our Browns FAQ series on the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast today. To start: expectations. It's complicated, of course, because we don't know if the Browns will have Deshaun Watson at all in 2022 and, if they do, when they will have him. In many ways, we're talking about two different football teams. Our questions:
What is fair to expect if Jacoby Brissett is the quarterback all season?
How many games can Deshaun Watson miss and the Browns still be considered a contender?
What challenges do they face if Watson does miss 8-10 games of the season?
Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe discuss it all on today's podcast. Want to get involved in Football Insider? Click here for more info and to sign up.

We heard from Baker Mayfield for the first time on Tuesday since his podcast appearance when he answered questions about returning to the Browns if Deshaun Watson is suspended for the season. Let's just say it sounds unlikely. What if, though, the Browns explore that 0.0001% chance it could happen? What does that scenario even look like? Is it even worth discussing? Would it give the Browns a better shot at the postseason? Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe discuss it on today's Orange and Brown Talk Podcast. Then, they spend some time at the end doing a mini FAQ about Watson's disciplinary hearing and how it might play out. Want to get involved in Football Insider?

It's the final weekend of June and Baker Mayfield is still a member of the Cleveland Browns? How much longer will that be the case? Mary Kay Cabot, Scott Patsko, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe talk through the Mayfield situation on our weekend Orange and Brown Talk Podcast. Why would or wouldn't Carolina or Seattle want Mayfield? Could the Browns take back Sam Darnold in a deal with the Panthers? Should Mayfield and the Browns just mend fences if Deshaun Watson is suspended for the season?

Kareem Hunt wouldn't mind finishing his career in Cleveland. Should the Browns facilitate it?

In the second half of the podcast, they look at the quarterback position and how it might look if Deshaun Watson misses an extended period of time. Is Jacoby Brissett capable of starting a whole season? Are there better free agent options? What about Baker Mayfield? They talk about it all on Friday's show.

Mary Kay Cabot, Scott Patsko, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe discuss all of those things and more on our Monday edition of the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast. Want to get involved in Football Insider?

We're continuing to go through the Browns roster position-by-position and today it's the offensive line. How good do we feel about the tackles? What about JC Tretter's future in Cleveland? How long can this line stick together? Mary Kay Cabot, Scott Patsko and Dan Labbe discuss it all. First, they get into some recent news, including Ben Roethlisberger officially retiring and Denver hiring Aaron Rodger's offensive coordinator in Green Bay, Nathaniel Hackett, and how it all will impact the quarterback shuffle that could take place this offseason and could involve the Browns. They also discuss Kwesi Adofo-Mensah leaving for Minnesota to become GM and why it's a good sign for the health of the Browns as an organization. Want to get involved in Football Insider?

Fixing the passing game is a priority for the Browns this season. Of course the quarterback is a big part of that, but what about the pass catchers? Mary Kay Cabot, Scott Patsko, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe took a look at the Browns wide receivers, who might be back, what roles they will have and how the Browns might remake the position this offseason. Do they spend big in free agency? Do they have to take a receiver at No. 13? Is Jarvis Landry a Brown in 2022? They discuss all of it and more on our Thursday Orange and Brown Talk Podcast.

The NFL Divisional Round gave us four fantastic playoff games. The Browns, of course, were a part of this round a year ago, losing in Kansas City a game short of the AFC Championship Game. This weekend saw kickers and quarterbacks take center stage and, funny thing, Browns fans want to know a thing or two about kickers and quarterbacks. So, what did we learn this weekend from the games? What did it teach us about the Browns offense and Baker Mayfield? Did we see a potential Browns quarterback play this weekend? Mary Kay Cabot answered questions from our Football Insider subscribers on our Tuesday edition of the podcast. Want to get involved in Football Insider? Click here for more info and to sign up.

On this final installment of The Mayfield Matrix on the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast, Dan Labbe, Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock, Scott Patsko and Doug Lesmerises look at the most drastic possible move the Browns could make at quarterback for 2022 -- trading Baker Mayfield for a more established QB. The Jared Goff trade for Matthew Stafford by the Los Angeles Rams a year ago is the example, and Doug lists seven names of quarterbacks somewhat in the Stafford mold that could maybe come available this offseason. If that happens, should the Browns consider a move? At the end of the pod, each member of the crew gives this option a rating, and then the fifth and final option wraps up.

Option 4 in our Mayfield Matrix series is probably the least likely -- what if the Browns just went ahead and signed Baker Mayfield to a short extension? The model here is the three-year extension that Jacksonville a bit unexpectedly gave to Blake Bortles in February of 2018 as he was entering his fifth season. It showed faith in an inconsistent QB, though the Jags had just made the AFC Championship Game. It didn't work out long term. Bortles was benched in Year 5 and then let go. But compared to letting Mayfield ride out his fifth-year option in 2022, this would be a sign of faith. Doug Lesmerises, Mary Kay Cabot, Scott Patsko, Dan Labbe and Ashley Bastock talk out this idea on the latest Orange and Brown Talk Podcast. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On the third option in the Mayfield Matrix, our exercise looking at everything the Browns could do with Baker Mayfield and the QB position in 2022, Dan Labbe, Ashley Bastock, Scott Patsko, Doug Lesmerises and Mary Kay Cabot are here to ponder the draft. What if the Browns draft a quarterback in the second or third round to develop behind Mayfield, and maybe serve as another option in 2022 if needed? The model for this is what the Philadelphia Eagles did with Carson Wentz going into his fifth season in 2020, when the Eagles drafted Jalen Hurts in the second round. Unlike Mayfield, Wentz was signed to an extension at that point, but Philly leaned into the quarterback position anyway. Wentz regressed, Hurts took the job by the end of the season, and the Eagles elevated Hurts into the starting role in 2021 and traded Wentz. The Browns have not drafted a quarterback since Mayfield, so it's time to invest in the position anyway. But what if they like a guy at pick No. 45?

It's Part 2 of the Mayfield Matrix as the Orange and Brown Talk crew looks at another way the Browns could handle their QB situation. What if the Browns brought in a veteran as a hedge, another QB who has started and could be a backup to Mayfield but also be ready to take over in 2022 if things don't go well? It would be a quarterback with more upside than Case Keenum, but not a QB who is so good he would demand to start in Cleveland. The example here is what the Tennessee Titans did with Marcus Mariota when they brought him back as the starter again in Year 5 in 2019 without an extension, like the Browns are doing with Mayfield, and then added Ryan Tannehill in a trade. The long-time starter in Miami, Tannehill backed up Mariota in camp, but the Titans turned to him to start in Game 7 and then went on a run to the playoffs and onto the AFC Championship Game. Should the Browns consider adding a Tannehill type player? And if so, what potentially available veterans could fit that mold? Doug Lesmerises, Dan Labbe, Ashley Bastock, Scott Patsko and Mary Kay Cabot break that all down. Thanks for listening to the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast from cleveland.com.

A new podcast series starts today at the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast. Over the next several days, the crew will examine all the options the Browns could have with Baker Mayfield in 2022, not only when it comes to playing him, but what kind of other quarterbacks they may or may not surround him with. To start, Dan Labbe, Ashley Bastock, Mary Kay Cabot, Scott Patsko and Doug Lesmerises look at the Jameis Winston option, which it seems like the Browns are doing. That's keeping Mayfield as their QB in 2022 without having another real option on the roster. The crew discusses the pros, cons and history of that option; why it might fit the Browns; and then they rate how much they like this option. They'll do the same with four other options over the next several days. Thanks for listening to the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast from cleveland.com. Want to get involved in Football Insider?

The Browns season isn't officially over, but it's over as they host the Cincinnati Bengals in a Week 18 game at FirstEnergy Stadium.

On this Gotta Watch The Tape episode in the Orange and Brown Talk feed, Ellis Williams and Scott Patsko break down the Browns with numbers and film. First, Ellis looks at the Browns' defensive line, the alignments that have allowed that group to create so much pressure, the player who is the key to all of that, and how it has created the No. 3 defense in the NFL by one metric. Then Scott looks at Baker Mayfield, and his good numbers from Weeks 1-3 and his bad numbers in Week 4. There are dives into his play-action game, his deep throws and his success in a clean pocket vs. while he's under pressure. Do those numbers show it was just a bad day, or is it a trend?

On this edition of the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast, we lean into one of the craziest ideas Scott Patsko ever had -- looking back at the 1986 Browns barbarian film "Masters of the Gridiron," which features stars of the team running shirtless through the woods, fighting ninjas during a music video and seeking a ring to make them Masters of the Gridiron. Maybe you're very familiar with the 17-minute film, maybe you've never heard of it before, but it warrants at least a brief trip down memory lane At the end of the pod, Scott and Doug Lesmerises do discuss some relevant football numbers as they debate whether last year's Browns data applies this year or not. But honestly, it's mostly Scott and Doug talking Browns barbarians. Thanks for listening to another pod from cleveland.com. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Aaron Schatz, the editor in chief of FootballOutsiders.com, joins Doug Lesmerises on this Tuesday Orange and Brown Talk to talk about what the data might tell us about the 2021 Cleveland Browns. But this might also be a team that bucks the data. The defense is totally revamped; Baker Mayfield almost had two seasons in one last season; Odell Beckham Jr., is coming back from injury ... and there are other reasons that Schatz agreed the Browns are a tough one for this season. There are lots of ways to analyze this team, and this is an angle worth listening to, since Football Outsiders breaks down the numbers of football as well as any site out there.

Mary Kay Cabot and Doug Lesmerises are back with another draft on this Friday Orange and Brown Talk. A week ago, they each drafted 12 offensive players to form two teams from the Browns offense. So they'll each 12 defensive players to form two teams from the Browns defense. Doug has the first pick this time and of course selects Myles Garrett. But where should John Johnson III, Jadeveon Clowney, Jeremiah Owusu-Koromoah and Greg Newsome come off the board? Once again, the intention of the draft is to provide a little info about the Browns depth and to address which players are the most valuable, based both off their talent and the guys behind them. And, also, it's July and time to have a little fun before football gets serious again. Thanks for listening to the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast from cleveland.com.

It's another episode of Hey, Mary Kay! on the Orange and Brown Talk question, and Doug Lesmerises couldn't help himself. He asked Mary Kay four questions that she could really dig into:
How did she become a Pro Football Hall of Fame voter, and what did she think of the process when she joined that group?
Who is a Browns player she covered that could have been a star and a fan favorite if he had been in a better situation -- like for instance, if he was a Brown right now?
What would have happened if the Browns had drafted Deshaun Watson, given Watson's current off-field issues?
When Myles Garrett's career is over, what might his legacy in Cleveland be?

On this Friday version of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast, Mary Kay Cabot and Doug Lesmerises are drafting two Browns offenses against each other. Back and forth, they each pick a 12-man offense while debating and discussing which Browns players are the most difficult to replace, where the Browns have the most depth, and what David Njoku's future in Cleveland might be. It's a breezy little summer exercise that also might inform your view of the offensive roster in new ways. And then you can decide whether Mary Kay or Doug drafted the better offense.

Something a little different on this Orange and Brown Talk episode, as Doug Lesmerises and Chris Fedor talk about both the Browns and the Cavaliers. Doug and Chris relive the three truly down years for the Browns that led to the picks and moves that produced Myles Garrett, Baker Mayfield, Denzel Ward, Nick Chubb and part of the Odell Beckham trade. The Cavs are now in a similar position after three really down years. So who are the Mayfield, Garrett, Ward and Chubb of the Cavaliers' roster? Doug and Chris have the answer to that on a crossover episode that shows why the success of the Browns should encourage another Cleveland team. Want to get involved in Football Insider?

The Browns kick off training camp in 5 weeks. Fear not, we will have new pods coming your way between now and then, but we're also going to take this opportunity to re-run some of our favorite roundtable podcasts from this offseason. Today, it's the quarterback draft we did on February 5. Mary Kay Cabot, Doug Lesmerises, Scott Patsko, Ellis Williams and Dan Labbe drafted quarterbacks as a way to slot where Baker Mayfield ranks. As a reminder, this was recorded a few days prior to the Super Bowl. Some quarterbacks have since switched team and one significant quarterback wants out of his situation in Green Bay. This was also recorded before the allegations against Deshaun Watson were levied. Want to get involved in Football Insider? Click here for more info and to sign up.

Gotta Watch The Tape moves up to Tuesday this week, as Scott Patsko and Doug Lesmerises finish their breakdown of the Browns’ draft picks by diving into sixth-round pick Demetric Felton. This one got very interesting, as Scott broached the idea of Felton perhaps emerging as a new version of Duke Johnson for the Browns as a pass-catching running back. Doug undertook a comparison of Felton and D’Ernest Johnson while making the case for Felton winning the role as the Browns’ third running back this season. There are a lot of numbers and a bit of film at the end as GWTT finishes the Browns’ draft class with a back who could definitely fill a role in 2021.

The Browns finally have decisions to make on extensions. This is new territory for Browns fans and the organization after years of bad drafting has left few players worthy of second contracts. Not any more. Friday's roundtable brings us to extension talk. Who should the Browns extend now? Who should they wait to extend? Who should they consider tagging next offseason or just letting walk? Mary Kay Cabot, Doug Lesmerises, Scott Patsko and Dan Labbe go through extension-eligible players, including Baker Mayfield, Denzel Ward, Nick Chubb and more and vote on what to do with each player this offseason.

On this Gotta Watch The Tape from cleveland.com, Scott Patsko and Doug Lesmerises dig in to the Browns’ two fourth-round picks -- offensive tackle James Hudson III and defensive tackle Tommy Togiai. Scott breaks down the numbers of how likely it is for fourth-rounders at those positions to become starters. Then Scott and Doug look at a little film for each of them, from Hudson’s ability to move as a tackle to Togiai’s strength and his hand technique. And then, how much might either of them contribute this season? In the bigger picture, are Hudson and Togiai the kind of longer term projects who could become starters that are ideal mid-round picks for the Browns at this stage of the franchise?

On this Gotta Watch The Tape episode, second-round pick Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah gets the full numbers breakdown from Scott Patsko and the full film breakdown from Ellis Williams. Scott, Ellis and Doug Lesmerises discuss how JOK’s smaller size at linebacker fits into the Browns’ defense; how he’ll mix with Malcolm Smith as a coverage linebacker; and how much he should actually be on the field as a rookie. Then the film shows Owusu-Koramoah breaking up bubble screens, reading quarterbacks and dropping into coverage, disrupting plays and allowing teammates to pursue, and then also what happens when he bites on play-action or has to cover in the slot. GWTT hit Greg Newsome last week and now it’s time for another draft pick. Thanks as always for listening in the Orange and Brown Talk feed from cleveland.com.

Gotta Watch The Tape is back this week and it's time to dive into the Browns draft picks. On this episode, Doug Lesmerises, Scott Patsko and Ellis Williams dive into first-round draft pick Greg Newsome and show with numbers and film why the cornerback from Northwestern fits what the Browns want to do. To lead off the pod, Scott looks at the numbers that show how Newsome thrives in zone coverage, which matches what defensive coordinator Joe Woods wants from his corners, and Scott explains how often first-round corners hit and miss as players. Then Ellis talks through seven plays from Newsome that show his ability to break on the ball, to smoothly recover in the middle of a play, and how quickly he reads what's happening and reacts in order to cover areas of the field and make life hard for opposing quarterbacks.

On this Gotta Watch The Tape edition of the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast, Doug Lesmerises, Ellis Williams and Scott Patsko take their turn diving into Jadeveon Clowney and exactly what he brings to the Cleveland Browns. In the first half, Ellis looks at Clowney's pre-Browns history, then examines six plays from Clowney's recent past to discuss his style and what it means for Cleveland. First are three disruptive run plays where he attacks the backfield, then come three passing plays and his tendency to try to win on inside rushes. If he's close to his peak, there's a lot there. In the second half, Scott looks at the corresponding loss of Sheldon Richardson and the three players that should make up the Browns' rotation at defensive tackle now -- Jordan Elliott, Andrew Billings and Malik Jackson. Could the three of them actually combine for more production than what Richardson and Larry Ogunjobi provided last season? Thanks for listening to Gotta Watch The Tape from cleveland.com.

Gotta Watch The Tape was moved from Thursday to Friday this week by the Jadeveon Clowney signing, but don't worry, Ellis Williams, Scott Patsko and Doug Lesmerises are still here with a film and numbers breakdown about something you care about as a Browns fan. On this episode, that thing is the Cincinnati Bengals, as the guys finish their run through the AFC North after breaking down Baltimore and Pittsburgh in the last two GWTT episodes. Today, Scott takes a look at the Bengals defense in the first half of the pod, and asks whether the defense might make a jump just by getting healthy. But there might be a problem with trading defensive end Carl Lawson for defensive end Trey Hendrickson in free agency. And the Bengals will rely on Larry Ogunjobi after signing the former Brown. Then Ellis looks at the Bengals offense and examines whether they should help the offensive line or the pass catching options with the No. 5 pick in the draft. How good is Joe Burrow, and does he have the right coach calling the shots? The Bengals had a bad time of it on the offensive line last season, but they have a chance to get that turned around pretty quickly. It's a big Bengals day, and Browns fans need to be aware of a team that might pull this all together eventually -- just not this year. Thanks for listening to Gotta Watch The Tape from cleveland.com.

The Pittsburgh Steelers lost defenders like Bud Dupree and Mike Hilton this offseason, and then kept quarterback Ben Roethlisberger as he approaches 40. Given how things are going in Pittsburgh, are the Browns pulling away from the Steelers? On this Gotta Watch The Tape from cleveland.com, Ellis Williams, Scott Patsko and Doug Lesmerises continue to break down teams in the AFC North through the lens of the Browns. This time, Ellis starts the episode with a look at the Pittsburgh defense, how it has become top-heavy and lost depth, and whether the Browns have figured out a way to best attack the Steelers' defensive plan. Then Scott looks at the Pittsburgh offense, where Roethlisberger is limited in the style he can play, there are two big potential losses on the offensive line, and running back needs a lift, because things clearly aren't working in the run game.

On this Gotta Watch The Tape, Scott Patsko, Ellis Williams and Doug Lesmerises start moving through Browns opponents and analyzing them through a Cleveland lens. First up, the Baltimore Ravens.

On this Gotta Watch The Tape in the Orange and Brown Talk feed, Ellis Williams leads a dive into the aggression of cornerback Denzel Ward, and how to strike the right balance between a play where Ward's skills produced a pick, and another play where he bit and gave up a touchdown. As Scott Patsko and Doug Lesmerises chime in, Ellis explains how well Ward plays when his film study, confidence. speed, instincts and ball skills come together. He looks like a No. 1 corner. But there are other areas where he can still improve, and if that happens, he could be one of the best cornerbacks in the game.

It's time for some more Hey, Mary Kay as Browns insider Mary Kay Cabot drops some knowledge with free agency right around the corner. Doug Lesmerises joined Mary Kay to talk about Tampa Bay linebacker Lavonte David and whether he could make sense as a veteran voice for the Browns defense who can still play a high level. There's a lot of edge rushers that could be attractive to the Browns, but could Bengals' pass rusher Carl Lawson be the best fit? And what will happen if the Browns and Rashard Higgins want to stay together but money gets in the way? Want to get involved in Football Insider? Click here for more info and to sign up.

On this Gotta Watch The Tape in the Orange and Brown Talk feed, it's time to break down another 2020 play to talk about the 2021 Cleveland Browns. In this episode, Ellis Williams leads the way and Scott Patsko and Doug Lesmerises join in to talk about a Ronnie Harrison pick-six against Philip Rivers and the Indianapolis Colts from last season. The play came from an effective personnel package on third-and-four, as the Browns had five defensive backs and three defensive ends in the game. What did it tell us about what defensive coordinator Joe Woods wants to do and what kind of players he needs to do it? How often should the Browns play three ends at once? Do the Browns have the safety options they need? And is there an ideal option in the 2021 draft to give them a needed three-down linebacker? Thanks for diving in with Ellis, Scott and Doug on Gotta Watch The Tape from cleveland.com.

On this Gotta Watch The Tape episode in the Orange and Brown Talk feed, it's time to break down another play from the 2020 season to tell us about the 2021 season. This week, it's a Donovan Peoples-Jones 75-yard touchdown against Tennessee that came from 13 personnel, which means the Browns had three tight ends on the field, and which featured four different versions of pre-snap motion. Scott Patsko breaks all that down, joined by Ellis Williams and Doug Lesmerises, to show what it proves about the worth of Austin Hooper, David Njoku Harrison Bryant; to ask whether the Browns should use 13 personnel more or less in 2021; and to examine whether the Browns are NFL outliers with their offense, or whether they are setting trends for the league to follow.

On this Thursday Gotta Watch The Tape episode in the Orange and Brown Talk feed, Doug Lesmerises, Ellis Williams and Scott Patsko continue to take one big play from the Browns' season and dissect it multiple ways to tell you what it means for the future of the Browns. On this episode, Ellis picked a 43-yard Week 2 deep ball touchdown pass from Baker Mayfield to Odell Beckham. The guys then delved into the Browns' air yards with and without Beckham on the field, how the run game faced eight men in the box with OBJ out, and whether the threat and execution of the downfield passing game to a player like Beckham might be what takes the Browns from a playoff team to a true Super Bowl contender. It's a great play to take apart, and it'll tell you a lot about Beckham's place on this team. Thanks for making Gotta Watch The Tape part of your Browns fandom every Thursday.

On this Friday Orange and Brown Talk pod, five Browns writers from cleveland.com get together to draft 35 quarterbacks for the 2021 season, an exercise with one primary goal: To figure out where Baker Mayfield ranks in the hierarchy of NFL QBs. On this big pod episode, Mary Kay Cabot, Scott Patsko, Dan Labbe, Ellis Williams and Doug Lesmerises draft every meaningful QB in the league under these rules: It's for only the 2021 season, contracts don't matter, the future doesn't matter, and you're drafting for a generic winning team with Super Bowl aspirations, with the flexibility to give your QB the roster, coaching staff and system to maximize his skills. So when does Mayfield get picked? And where do Ben Roethlisberger, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Trevor Lawrence, Carson Wentz, Josh Allen, Kyler Murray and other interesting QBs fall in this draft exercise? This is a fun listen that will help you sort out the QB picture in the NFL and how Mayfield fits into it. Plus, our Super Bowl picks at the end.

As the Gotta Watch The Tape podcast enters the offseason, it's taking on different deep looks at the Browns, and it's also going once a week. You'll get five days a week of episodes in this Orange and Brown Talk feed, but the film and numbers pod of GWTT will focus on coming at you each Thursday. On this episode, the guys investigate a single play, and everything that play says about the Browns' present and future. It's a strip sack by Myles Garrett again the Bengals in Week 2, and Scott Patsko dives into several aspects of it, with Ellis Williams and Doug Lesmerises chiming in. Why didn't Garrett rush from a tackle spot more often? Should the Browns deploy him from the left or right side more often in the future? What might Garrett do if he has a true second half of the season in 2021, after a suspension in 2019 and a COVID battle in 2020 deprived him of being at his best in the second half? Should the Browns blitz more behind him? It's one play, but it says a lot. Look for more single-play deep dives with big-picture discussions on future GWTT episodes. Thanks for listening.

On this Gotta Watch The Tape episode in the Orange and Brown Talk feed, Scott Patsko, Ellis Williams and Doug Lesmerises address two areas with an eye on Sunday's playoff game. First, Scott examines the safety play for the Browns and which safeties give the Browns the best chance against Pittsburgh? How does Karl Joseph fit in, as he's been playing better lately? Will Ronnie Harrison be ready to play his best after easing in last week? And with the expected return of Andrew Sendejo, is there any chance we could see more three-safety looks from defensive coordinator Joe Woods? Then Ellis looks at Baker Mayfield and how much he's been used in play-action bootleg lately. Why don't the Browns seem to do that as much vs. the Steelers? What kind of run plays will work best with a backup left guard in the lineup replacing Joel Bitonio? And is this a game for lots of Nick Chubb work?

On this Gotta Watch The Tape from cleveland.com, there's something a little different. Doug Lesmerises is joined by special guest Brandon Thorn, who tracks sack stats that nobody else does at his newsletter, trenchwarfare.substack.com. Thorn watches every sack in the league, and then grades the sacks of all edge rushers, assigning ratings based on what type of lineman the rusher beat, on what down it occurred and how special it was compared to the average sack, among other things. That means he spends a lot of time analyzing Myles Garrett. So Doug and Brandon talked a lot of Garrett, but they also got into former Brown Emmanual Ogbah and current Browns Adrian Clayborn and Olivier Vernon. In the end, Brandon talked about exactly where Garrett fits among the best pass rushers in the league. Scott Patkso and Ellis Williams will be back for a typical Gotta Watch The Tape on Thursday, but for now, enjoy the special sack insight from Brandon, who can be found on Twitter @BrandonThornNFL.

Just one episode of Gotta Watch The Tape on this Christmas week, as we break down numbers and film about the Cleveland Browns. On this episode with Doug Lesmerises, Scott Patsko and Ellis Williams, the emphasis is on fourth down and the red zone as the 10-4 Browns prepare for the New York Jets on Sunday.

On this Gotta Watch The Tape edition of the Orange and Brown Talk, Scott Patsko dives in with a deep look at a former Browns favorite -- current Jacksonville linebacker Joe Schobert. He's now leading the Jaguars in tackles, but he's part of a bad defense. How much do the Browns miss him? Was letting him go as a free agent the right move? What does this tell us about future roster decisions the Browns will face? And how will the Browns attack that Jacksonville defense on Sunday? Then, with Ellis Williams out sick, Doug Lesmerises tries his hand at diving in on a topic. The idea is how much the Browns run game dominates in the second half, with some stats on Nick Chubb big second-half runs, and how the production for both Chubb and Kareem Hunt goes up in the second half.

On this Friday Gotta Watch The Tape from cleveland.com, Ellis Williams breaks down the Houston Texans on both sides of the ball while Doug Lesmerises nods along. The Texans are scheduled to visit the Browns at 1 p.m. on Sunday in a game that might feature rain and wind. Houston has a franchise quarterback in Deshaun Watson and a star left tackle in Laremy Tunsil, but not much else on offense. There's no real run game, and Myles Garrett and Denzel Ward should be able to provide answers to the Houston pass game. On defense, the Texans have been one of the worst teams in the league. J.J. Watt is there, but no longer playing at his peak, and former Ohio State cornerback Bradley Roby has provided solid coverage. But this again is a defense on which the Browns should be able to run, and if the weather is bad, that might be an edge for the home team. Everything you need to get ready for Sunday's game is in this pod. Thanks for listening to Gotta Watch The Tape in the Orange and Brown Talk feed.

It's a big preview of the Browns vs. Pittsburgh on Sunday, as Scott Patsko and Ellis Williams, along with Doug Lesmerises, dig into two big Browns issues on Gotta Watch The Tape in the Orange and Brown Talk feed. This is you numbers and film deep dive from cleveland.com that comes to you every Tuesday and Friday. On this episode: -- Ellis Williams looks at Baker Mayfield's two very different halves against Indianapolis last week and tells you what that means for how the Steelers will defend the Browns this week. If Pittsburgh goes with more man-to-man looks, can Mayfield make the Steelers pay with some big plays to Odell Beckham and others? -- Scott Patsko looks at the Pittsburgh pass rush and the investment the Browns made at tackle to try to handle a game like this. Steelers star edge rusher T.J. Watt, who has been as productive as Myles Garrett this season, should be lined up over Browns right tackle and major free agent signing Jack Conklin for most of the game. If Conklin can hold off Watt, and the Browns can deal with the Pittsburgh blitz, the Browns offense could put up enough points to win a high-scoring game.

Doug Lesmerises, Scott Patsko and Ellis Williams bring you this pod twice a week in the Orange and Brown Talk feed, every Tuesday and Friday during the season. First up this week is Scott Patsko on Olivier Vernon. What kind of production are the Browns getting from the defensive end who plays opposite Myles Garrett? How does it affect how teams plan for Garrett? What does it mean for the Browns' pass rush against Pittsburgh this week? Then it's Ellis Williams on Kevin Stefanski. Is he a difference-making head coach yet? What are the six areas where Ellis thinks Stefanski is really standing out so far?

It's the Friday Gotta Watch The Tape from cleveland.com, and we're breaking down both sides of the showdown between Baker Mayfield the the NFL's No. 1 ranked defense. So thanks for joining Doug Lesmerises, Scott Patsko and Ellis Williams for this twice-weekly deep dive into the Browns using numbers and film. First up, Scott analyzes Mayfield and how the Browns have used him so far this season in the play-action game. Kevin Stefanski and Freddie Kitchens have different ideas on how to use play-action, and what Stefanski wants to do this year seems to makes a lot of sense. But so far, Mayfield's play-action numbers don't quite stack up to what he did under Kitchens last year. Why is that? Scott will tell you, and he predicts how things will continue with this big part of what the Browns ask Mayfield to do. Then Ellis takes a deep look at the Indianapolis defense that the Browns are facing Sunday and just why that group ranks first in the league in defensive DVOA. Ellis looks at the talent up front, the scheme that will require Mayfield to hit tight windows on Sunday, and the success that the Colts' defense has had this season on third down. This is the best defense the Browns have faced so far, and we'll know a lot more about this Cleveland offense after Sunday. Thanks for listening to Gotta Watch The Tape.

Thanks for joining this Gotta Watch The Tape episode on the Orange and Brown Talk feed, as Scott Patsko, Ellis Williams and Doug Lesmerises use film and numbers to break down two important issues for the Cleveland Browns. On this Tuesday episode, Scott leads off with a look into the Cleveland success in stopping opponents from running. It is only because the Browns give up so much in the pass game, or are there players like Larry Ogunjobi who are actually making it tough for opposing ground games to get rolling. Then Ellis checks in on the Nick Chubb injury. Will the Browns actually be fine without him? What will Kareem Hunt's workload look like? Will Baker Mayfield have to throw it more? Is D'Ernest Johnson a real answer in relief? This is a new and growing option in the Orange and Brown Talk feed, and we appreciate you giving it a chance.

On this Friday episode of Gotta Watch The Tape in the Orange and Brown Talk feed, the focus is on tight ends as we break down two major issues with the Cleveland Browns. First, Ellis Williams digs into the Browns' success in the red zone so far this season, as they have scored touchdowns on 80 percent of their trips inside the 20-yard line. Kevin Stefanski is varying formations, varying personnel, finding tight ends and making things easier in an area where the Browns had trouble last season. Find out exactly how he's doing it. Then, Scott Patsko assesses new tight end Austin Hooper so far. He's being used differently than he was in Atlanta, but he's still helping the Browns even though his receiving numbers are down. Dallas has struggled to cover tight ends this season, so Scott explains why Hooper could be in for a big day on Sunday against the Cowboys. This is the fourth episode of Gotta Watch The Tape, with Ellis, Scott and Doug Lesmerises, and we appreciate you trying out this companion podcast to the excellent daily insight offered on the Orange and Brown Talk podcast.

It's the third episode of Gotta Watch The Tape, a companion podcast here in the Orange and Brown Talk feed. On GWTT, two big areas of the Browns are chosen and dissected in each episode, with film analysis, numbers breakdowns and a spin toward what's next. This time, the big game from Myles Garrett against Washington leads off. Scott Patsko breaks down how often Garrett is playing on the left side vs. the right side; how many snaps he's playing each week and what that means; how he's tied for first in the NFL in pressures this season; his overall defensive grade compared to other NFL stars; and where he is in his progression as a dominant force on the field. Then it's onto the lack of speed on the Browns defense, and how that opens up the Browns to giving up big plays on the perimeter. Ellis Williams explains how effective Washington was with both run and pass plays on the perimeter; how Dallas might attack the Browns next; the idea of a bend-but-don't-break defense that does actually break; and the guys play several rounds of, "Is that guy slow?" in deciphering where the biggest speed problems are for the Browns on the back end. Thanks for joining Scott, Ellis and Doug Lesmerises on Gotta Watch the Tape. We hope you're enjoying this new addition to our already excellent Browns podcasts.

It's episode two of Gotta Watch the Tape, the new Cleveland Browns podcast here in the Orange and Brown Talk feed. This pod is a companion to the daly Orange and Brown Talk and will come to you twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays. In each episode, Doug Lesmerises, Scott Patsko and Ellis Williams will break down two major topics around the Browns with film and stats, giving each issue a big 30-minute treatment. On this ep, Scott starts off with a look at Browns right guard Wyatt Teller and how he's leading the charge in the Browns' run game. The Browns' opponent on Sunday, the Washington Football Team, has stopped the run effectively so far this season. But the Browns' offensive line has played even better, and the surprising Teller has been a major part of that. Scott explains how that has happened and why it's so important for this offense. Then Ellis dives in on Odell Beckham Jr., and the expectations for him in this Kevin Stefanski offense. Ellis has a comparison to the Minnesota offense for Beckham, and he explains why fans may have to shift their view on his role for the Browns. He can still make big plays, but he might not make as many of them. And that might be the best thing for the Browns moving the ball. Ellis explains how OBJ did just what was asked in his new role last week, and even if his targets go down, Ellis believes that Beckham has still got it.

It's "Gotta Watch the Tape," and the plan is for this new Browns podcast to come to you twice a week right here, where you get your favorite daily Orange and Brown Talk Podcast five times a week. That isn't changing. This is new and in addition to that. This new pod will feature Scott Patsko and Ellis Williams of cleveland.com breaking down the Browns in depth from a statistical, analytical and film analysis standpoint. For each one-hour podcast, Scott and Ellis will each pick one topic of interest to Browns fans and spend half an hour explaining what's right or wrong, what's going to happen next with that area of the Browns, and why it matters. Doug Lesmerises is along for the ride to shout dumb questions at Scott and Ellis, and the result should enlighten you about the Browns, while having some fun. Here's what happens on this first episode:
Scott dives in on the Browns' problems covering tight ends, explaining which defensive players are being targeted by opposing offenses, what other solutions might exist on the Browns roster, and how much of an issue this could be for the Browns if they continue to be one of the worst teams in the league covering tight ends and other passes over the middle.
Ellis dives in on the Browns' running game, and why they should run their tailbacks more than any team in the league. He covers what the right balance should be between Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt, what the current backfield splits means for the future of the Browns running game, and whether the win Thursday was the offensive template to expect the rest of the season.
