What does the future hold for Greg Newsome II and the Browns? Apr 11, 2023

Show notes

Tuesday was a day on Browns Twitter. Greg Newsome II didn't request a trade, a newsworthy development because there was a report he had requested a trade after rehiring Drew Rosenhaus as his agent.

Still, it does spark some discussion about Newsome's role in Jim Schwartz's defense, his longterm future in Cleveland and more and Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe have that discussion on Tuesday's Orange and Brown Talk Podcast.

They get caught up on the events of the morning and their reactions before they dig into Newsome's role. Where does he fit in Schwartz's defense and will he be the one asked to sacrifice?

What have Andrew Berry and Kevin Stefanski said about it and what can we read into what they have or haven't said?

Is this over or could Newsome eventually decide he does want a change of scenery?

They get into all of it, plus Mary Kay shares her thoughts on Odell Beckham Jr. signing with the Ravens.

Will Deshaun Watson return to his elite level of play before the trade to Browns? Hey, Mary Kay! Apr 03, 2023

Show notes

Let's be honest, the key to the Browns' success in 2023 lies mostly in whether Deshaun Watson plays like he did prior to the Browns trading for him. In his six games last season, he showed some flashes of the old Watson but mostly looked like a quarterback playing a truncated season after missing 700 days.

How close will he get to the Watson of old in 2023? Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe discuss that question and more in today's Hey, Mary Kay! edition of the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast.

They also get into Nick Chubb's usage and what the offense could look like around him this coming season before discussing the linebacker position and how they try to disconnect when they're on vacation.

How crowded will the Browns' receiver room be in 2023? Hey, Mary Kay! Mar 30, 2023

Show notes

The Browns' receiver room -- which felt like it was a receiver short for most of 2022 -- has suddenly gotten a bit more crowded.

So besides Amari Cooper, Donovan Peoples-Jones and Elijah Moore, who are the locks to make the final 53-man roster? It's one of the questions Mary Kay Cabot answers on a Hey, Mary Kay! edition of the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast on Thursday.

Mary Kay joins Ashley Bastock to discuss the Browns' passing offense, as well as the future of Nick Chubb and whether the running back room will have some new faces in 2023. The two also talk about Joshua Dobbs' return to Cleveland, as well as Jacoby Brissett's exit.

But before talking about the Browns' offense, Mary Kay and Ashley take a look at the bigger picture of the AFC North, answering questions about Lamar Jackson's future in Baltimore and what it might mean for the Browns.
