Browns are spending lots of $$ on tight ends, not much on receivers: Gotta Watch The Tape Mar 10, 2022

Show notes

Gotta Watch The Tape is back this Thursday in the Orange and Brown Talk podcast feed, but it's much more like Gotta Crunch The Numbers.

This week, Scott Patsko looks at which positions are the most valuable for winning according to the numbers, how much average NFL teams spend on each position, and how much the Browns spend on each position.

Where are the Browns similar to teams and where are they different? Where do they spend a lot (tight end) and where do they spend not so much (defensive tackle)?

It's a great look that helps you understand what GM Andrew Berry might do in free agency and the draft.

Thanks for listening to Gotta Watch The Tape.

Should the Browns have traded for Russell Wilson, and what will the Steelers do to find a QB? Mar 09, 2022

Show notes

Two major QB moves happened Tuesday, and on this Wednesday Orange and Brown Talk Podcast, Scott Patsko, Mary Kay Cabot and Doug Lesmerises discuss Aaron Rodgers staying in Green Bay and Russell Wilson getting traded by Denver to Seattle.

Should the Browns have been able to trade for Wilson instead?

But the focus of the pod is on quarterbacks, but not Cleveland quarterbacks.

What will the Pittsburgh Steelers do to get a new QB and how will it affect the Browns? What if they add a veteran like Derek Carr or Mitch Trubisky? What if they draft a quarterback like Malik Willis or Desmond Ridder? What if they play Mason Rudolph for a season, tank, and plan to draft a quarterback in 2023?

The Pittsburgh QB matters a lot to the Browns, so this episode should matter to Browns fans. Thanks for listening.
