Show notes

During Wednesday's podcast, Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe offered their overly optimistic overreactions to the Browns' domination over the Bengals on Sunday at Cleveland Browns Stadium.

Today, they turn the tables and go the other way. What if what we saw wasn't a sign of greatness to come?

Instead of making bold predictions about the performance of the defensive line, a division title or even a Super Bowl berth, they look at the 24-3 win over Cincinnati through a different lens. Why is it not a sign to buy all the way in on the Browns?

Can Deshaun Watson establish himself as a force in the AFC North? Sep 07, 2023

Show notes

The Battle of Ohio gets a little bit spicier this week when the Browns host the Bengals in the season opener. The game will pit Deshaun Watson against Joe Burrow for the second time but, let's be honest, last season's matchup in Cincinnati wasn't exactly the best of Watson.

Will this be the week Watson begins to establish himself as a force to be reckoned with in the AFC North, a division he's had some struggles against in his career? Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe start off Thurday's podcast by discussing Watson and Burrow squaring off.

Then they discuss the potential return of Denzel Ward, who was back at practice.

They also go through a few stories they wrote on Wednesday and talk about a couple of players they spoke with during open locker room.
