Orange and Brown Talk: Cleveland Browns Podcast

Why didn't Kevin Stefanski name Joe Flacco the Browns starting quarterback? Nov 30, 2023

Show notes

The Browns are practicing in Los Angeles this week, but the week feels a little normal because we don't know who the Browns starting quarterback will be this week. Head coach Kevin Stefanski did promote Joe Flacco to the No. 2 quarterback, but that's as far as he went.

Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe start their Thursday podcast from Los Angeles by discussing Flacco and why Stefanski didn't just name him his starting quarterback. Is there a chance Dorian Thompson-Robinson could still make it out of concussion protocol?

Then they spend some time on Myles Garrett, discussing the reporting Mary Kay has done on Garrett and his shoulder.
