Browns core players: The offensive and defensive lines, wide receiver and more Feb 03, 2023

Show notes

We have been rolling out core player posts the last two weeks and, on Thursday's Orange and Brown Talk Podcast, Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe are talking through some of the core players.

Are Donovan Peoples-Jones and Jedrick Wills core players? Who are some young receivers who could step up? What young player on the defensive line most intrigues them? Is Jerome Ford the next kick returner -- and the next Kareem Hunt?

They go through receiver, both lines, the backfield and even touch on special teams.

Is receiver or edge rusher more important than defensive tackle for the Browns? Feb 02, 2023

Show notes

You can only pick one: defensive tackle, edge rusher or wide receiver. Which position would you choose for the Browns this offseason?

It's one of four Browns questions Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe answer on Wednesday's Orange and Brown Talk.

They make a case for why each position is the right answer before they move on. The other questions include:
Which of a group of players is most likely to return next season?
Who will make their first Pro Bowl in 2023?
Share a Tom Brady memory.

What would have to happen next season for Browns to consider a regime change? Hey, Mary Kay! Jan 31, 2023

Show notes

The Browns had a disappointing season in 2022, going 7-10 and missing the playoffs for a second consecutive season. It cost defensive coordinator Joe Woods his job, but head coach Kevin Stefanski and GM Andrew Berry seem secure, at least for now. What would change that?

That's just one question from our Football Insider subscribers on Tuesday's Part 2 of the Hey, Mary Kay! podcast.

Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe also discuss how the Browns will address their roster and what additions they need to make and how they might make them. They also answer questions about the futures of Jacoby Brissett and Kareem Hunt.

Show notes

The Browns are once again watching the playoffs from home, including Sunday's AFC and NFC Championship Games. So, how close are the Browns to the teams who competed this weekend? It's one of the questions our Football Insider subscribers had on Monday's Hey, Mary Kay! edition of the podcast.

Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe answer that question and more.

They discuss Amari Cooper's contract and how the Browns could approach it this offseason. Then they get into how the front office managed to miss so badly on the defensive tackle position, how the Browns can improve the roster via free agency and teh draft and whether the Browns defense can catch up to the defenses we saw play in the championship games.

Should Kevin Stefanski continue calling plays and more Browns questions Jan 26, 2023

Show notes

It's the question that never goes away: Should Kevin Stefanski call the plays or should he let someone else do it so he can take over the CEO role?

Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe answer three Browns questions on Thursday's Orange and Brown Talk podcast and they start with Stefanski's role as playcaller. What are the pros and cons to him calling and not calling the plays and who would do it if he did give it up?

Then they discuss the 2022 rookie class and which player could make a leap in 2023 before they get out their crystal ball and try to figure out what the next big Browns headline will be.

Should Myles Garrett have been in the Defensive Player of the Year Top 3? Jan 25, 2023

Show notes

Browns defensive end Myles Garrett didn't make it as one of the Top 3 finalists for the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year award. Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe begin Wednesday's podcast by discussing whether Garrett should have made it and why he sometimes gets overlooked for what he does as an edge rusher.

Then they take a look at the first few core player posts that have gone up at cleveland.com/browns.

They start with Dan's secondary post and discuss whether Greg Newsome II and Grant Delpit should be considered core players.

Then it's on to Ashley's linebacker post. Is Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah the only one? What about the rest of the linebackers?
