Show notes

The Cleveland Browns lost to the Los Angeles Chargers 30-28 on Sunday, and Mary Kay Cabot, Dan Labbe, Ashley Bastock, Irie Harris and Doug Lesmerises are here to break down the state of the 2-3 team.

First up -- Jacoby Brissett's level of play and killer interception at the end of the game. Do the Browns continue to ask too much of him, or should more be expected of Brissett?

Then, Cade York's two missed field goal and the fourth-down decision by Chargers coach Brandon Staley -- what's up with both those guys>?

At the end, a long discussion of the defense and its inability to stop the run Sunday. Should the Browns be thinking about a change with defensive coordinator Joe Woods? Everyone said whether the Browns should shake things up or not, and then they did, trading for linebacker Deion Jones from Atlanta soon after the pod was finished recording.
