Browns Film Breakdown

Latest Episodes:

Week 4 All-22 Thoughts, Todd Monken Day After Updates, PFF Grade Analysis, and Week 5 College Football Picks Oct 03, 2026

Show notes

Still glowing from the win, Jake and Brad spend Saturday morning working through Pro Football Focus grades from the Steelers game and early All-22 observations. The conversation opens with a pointed meditation on the national media's inability to give the Browns proper credit — Pittsburgh analysts highlighting Steelers wins in individual matchups while glossing over the final score — and connects that condescension to two decades of Browns irrelevance that the current roster is actively dismantling. Todd Monken gets credit for candor rarely seen under the previous regime, Brad’s key questions about the film, and then picking some CFB marquee games for Week 5.

Victory Friday Edition: Recapping the Browns 27-24 TNF Win Over the Steelers Oct 02, 2026

Show notes

The Browns are 3-1 and leading the AFC North for the first time since 2014, and Jake opens this Victory Friday episode just before 3 a.m. with the kind of earned satisfaction that only comes from a primetime win over a division rival. Then a full handoff to the live YouTube postgame with Jake, Brad, and Anthony breaking down everything from first watch. The collective mood is euphoric but honest — this team is young, mistake-prone, and keeps finding ways to overcome itself, which is both the most exciting and most nerve-wracking part of following this group. They have all the details from the first viewing and thoughts on how the Browns pulled it off, who performed well, and how they keep this thing building around their exciting core with a nice 10 day break.

Game Day Preview Podcast: Week 4, Browns vs. Steelers, and Behind Enemy Lines with Nick Farabaugh Oct 01, 2026

Show notes

It's primetime TNF in Cleveland, and Jake and Brad open this game day edition with controlled excitement grounded in data that cuts both ways. The Browns are 11-1 in Thursday night home games, 4-0 against Pittsburgh specifically in that format — but first-year head coach numbers on short weeks are brutal so something has to give. The guys preview everything else around the game itself — you get viewing information, stadium weather, FanDuel parlay, all the thoughts on the Browns necessary performances in short week to get themselves to 3-1 on the young season.

Then, after the break, Nick Farabaugh of PennLive closes the episode with the most substantive Steelers breakdown of the preview. He talks adjustments under Mike McCarthy, Pittsburgh has shifted from relationship-based Tomlin culture to a more X's-and-O's-focused operation, how the defense is evolving under Patrick Graham, and more about the roster coming into Cleveland tonight.

Tuesday Updates From Berea, Reviewing Pittsburgh Through Three Games, and What To Expect On TNF Sep 30, 2026

Show notes

Brad and Anthony turn their attention to Thursday Night Football as the Browns prepare for a massive divisional matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The show opens with the latest injury updates, including the likelihood of Luke Wypler stepping in at center with Elgton Jenkins in concussion protocol, Tyson Campbell’s potential return to the secondary, and Pittsburgh’s uncertainty surrounding Joey Porter Jr. and Jalen Ramsey.

From there, the guys dive into a Steelers offense that looked completely different in Week 3. After struggling badly through the first two games, Pittsburgh exploded against Cincinnati behind Aaron Rodgers, Jaylen Warren, and a much-improved offensive line. Brad and Anthony discuss why winning first down will be critical for Cleveland, how the Browns’ interior pass rush can make Rodgers uncomfortable, and why Pittsburgh’s ability to spread the ball around creates a unique challenge.

On the other side of the ball, they break down a familiar Steelers defense led by T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Patrick Queen and a deep defensive front. The conversation focuses on how Cleveland can attack Pittsburgh’s pressure packages with quick-game answers while still finding opportunities to push the ball vertically.

Brad also makes the case for Todd Monken dialing up an early shot play to loosen the defense, create confidence for Deshaun Watson and ignite what should be an electric home crowd on Thursday night.

Plus, the guys touch on the early chaos around the NFL, the evolving 2027 quarterback class, and what Cleveland’s young roster may mean for the organization’s long-term quarterback plan.

Week 3 All-22 Thoughts, Quarterback Analysis, Offensive Line Questions, and PFF Grades Sep 29, 2026

Show notes

Three games into the season and the Browns are 2-1, but Jake and Brad spend this Tuesday film review making clear that the record is masking something that won't be sustainable. The All-22 tells a harder story than the final score: Watson graded poorly, but this is not a pile on without context. The offensive line gave up pressures across the board, and Carolina's game plan deliberately compressed everything underneath. They also discuss how the defense was able to alter the picture on Bryce Young and generate immense pressure. The film doesn't lie, and the guys break it all down.

Victory Monday Edition: Recapping the Browns 21-18 Win Over the Panthers Sep 28, 2026

Show notes

The Browns are 2-1. It wasn't clean, it wasn't pretty, and Jake, Brad, and Anthony spend most of this instant reaction show acknowledging exactly that — but they're not apologizing for a win that, by the end, felt achingly familiar before breaking right. The defense bent in the fourth quarter, Carolina marched down and took the lead, then Watson and the offense didn't let it end that way. Two straight weeks, two game-winning fourth-quarter drives. The hosts are careful not to oversell it, but they're equally careful not to bury what it means for a locker room still building an identity. The Browns might have something cooking.

We have all the details from our first viewing and thoughts on how they pulled off this one, who performed well, and where the team goes from here with a huge primetime game coming on Thursday.
