Show notes

We discuss whether Brian Hoyer was wrong in his approach or whether Johnny Manziel should have been more responsible for himself. The Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show displayed an all-black panel for the show on Wednesday; just how impactful was that? Recap from an amazing interview with Browns safety D'anthony Bell

How did the Cleveland Browns score on the NFLPA report cards & does it even really matter? Feb 29, 2024

Show notes

The Cleveland Cavaliers should have beaten the Chicago Bulls last night. There's no two ways around it. Donovan Mitchell & company were up 12 in the fourth quarter & 4 in the first OT before getting smoked by the Bulls in the 2nd. Is this just a blip on the radar for the Cavs, or a sign of some bigger issues to come? The NFLPA released its 2024 report cards on Wednesday and the Cleveland Browns did not score well. What's the big picture takeaway from these report cards and frankly, do they even matter? ESPN released its NFL & NBA tiers this week. Are the Cavs and Browns ranked in the right categories? Plus, Kevin Stefanski & Ken Dorsey are set to fly out to LA to meet with Deshaun Watson next week. What will be the outcome of those discussions?

Max Strus CALLED GAME as the Cavaliers pick up a HUGE W at home + Reaction to AB's combine presser Feb 28, 2024

Show notes

Max Strus became a hero in Cleveland for eternity in one night. The Cleveland Cavaliers guard went 5-5 from 3 in the fourth quarter, including a 60-foot buzzer beater to clinch the Cavs pick up a big win over the Dallas Mavericks. The 60-foot heave is the 2nd longest buzzer beater in NBA history. Strus has struggled to find consistency on his 3-pointers this season, but a game like this could catapult him back towards his sniper ways. Andrew Berry spoke to the media at the NFL combine on Tuesday, giving us some updates on Nick Chubb, Deshaun Watson and the rest of his team's offseason plans. Browns safety D'Anthony Bell makes his UCSS debut and joins us in studio at noon. Plus, Johnny Manziel and Brian Hoyer are living in the past about their tenure together as the Browns QB. How do you feel about their relationship with more info now on the table?

What criticism of Darius Garland is fair and what crosses the line? | Cleveland Cavaliers Feb 28, 2024

Show notes

The Cleveland Cavaliers are currently 2nd in the Eastern Conference with a 37-19 record, but the team has higher championship aspirations thanks to the stellar play of Donovan Mitchell and the complimentary pieces around him in Darius Garland, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. Since returning from a jaw injury, Garland has sparked some intense debate online about the caliber of his play. Some want more from the Cavs highest paid player while others are comfortable giving him time to return to his former All-Star form. So let's dive into this and figure out what criticisms of Darius Garland thus far are fair, and which ones cross the line? JB Bickerstaff is still finalizing his playoff rotations down the stretch and McNuggets has a big beef coach's lack of time for one particular 5-man lineup. Plus, Kyrie Irving makes his return to Cleveland tonight. Jason Lloyd shares some of his favorite memories from covering Irving on a daily basis.

Will fan opinions have any impact on Donovan Mitchell re-signing w/ the Cleveland Cavaliers or not? Feb 27, 2024

Show notes

Cleveland Browns GM Andrew Berry is scheduled to speak to the media this afternoon from the NFL combine and lay out a preliminary plan for the team's offseason approach. What should be AB's top priorities this offseason and which players should he be more inclined to keep or let walk? A report from cleveland.com says Berkshire Hathaway spent $16.35 billion to acquire Pilot Flying J from the Haslam family. With that knowledge, is it still fair for Haslam to ask the city to play for half of his new stadium? The Cleveland Cavaliers are set to square off with Kyrie Irving, Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks at RMFH tonight. Is this young Cavs squad ready to prove its first half of the season hot streak wasn't a fluke? Plus, does fan opinion sway a players' decision on whether or not to sign with a certain team?

3 Playmakers The Browns Should Target Pick #54 In The 2024 NFL Draft Feb 27, 2024

Show notes

n this video, we'll discuss the top 3 playmakers that the Browns should target in the 2024 NFL Draft. From free agency to podcast discussions to news updates, we'll cover all the latest on the Cleveland Browns NFL Draft Targets and NFL Free Agency wish list. Don't miss Garrett Bush of The Ultimate Browns Show details his top 3 playmakers that might be on the board when the Browns are on the clock at pick #54. #1 Troy Franklin Troy Franklin is a lanky wideout with serious wheels and big-play ability, helping unlock Bo Nix’s offense in 2023. The 6-3 wideout is a burner (will run in 4.3s) and one of the top deep threats in the country. He gets loose vertically but also possesses serious quickness after the catch, snatching ankles in the process. According to PFF, Franklin had 37 explosive plays of 15 yards or more and forced 14 missed tackles with the ball in his hands. The best part of Franklin’s game is that he’s not just a straight-line burner; he dices up corners in intermediate routes and can get open on any level. He even added a high-point wrinkle to his game, winning jump balls his junior season. Still, he’ll make the most noise as a vertical weapon and exceptional ball tracker. Franklin is a typical fantasy WR2 with massive ‘boom’ upside– think of a suped-up Gabe Davis with more natural receiver talent and consistency. The former Duck is a day-one impact player who fantasy managers can get at the end of the first round. If he lands in Buffalo or Kansas City — watch out. #2 Xavier Legette Xavier Legette was a late bloomer in college, but one with an NFL-ready frame and ball skills. He lined up all over the field for South Carolina, though he was primarily an outside receiver with vertical responsibilities. While Legette lacks quickness and refinement at the line of scrimmage, he makes up for it with his long speed. He has enough juice to consistently threaten down the field on go routes, posts and deep crossing routes once he starts striding out. He is also a bully-style yards-after-the-catch player thanks to his ample speed and strong build. More importantly, Legette is a devastating contested-catch player. His massive frame and excellent hand-eye coordination make it easy for him to high-point the ball. Legette is also an effortless and flexible mover in the air, which allows him to contort his body as needed to get the ball. Many of Legette's pain points come down to refinement. He is not skilled at battling at the line of scrimmage, nor is he a developed route-runner who can mix up his approach to keep defensive backs guessing. He plays with a fairly straightforward approach. Additionally, Legette can struggle to work back to the ball and make himself friendly to the quarterback. That shows up most on timing routes or when Legette is running across the field and needs to attack the ball so defensive backs don't undercut the route. Legette is an intriguing prospect with size, adequate speed and ball skills. The concern is that Legette is not a dynamic mover, and he is still a work in progress when it comes to the finer parts of the position. Legette would be best in a play-action heavy system that enables his vertical ability and ball skills. #3 Ja’Tavion Sanders Ja’Tavion Sanders is a tight end out of the University of Texas and is projected to be drafted in the second round in the 2024 NFL Draft. He is currently the No. 2 tight end on our 2024 Dynasty Rookie Rankings (SuperFlex) and should be an intriguing option for dynasty teams looking for a developmental tight end piece with major upside. While Bowers should in-theory fit on any team, Sanders, if drafted by a team with the right scheme, could see development in key areas, like what we saw from his sophomore to junior season in Texas. He gained nearly five yards per game on Bowers between 2022 and 2023 while polishing his standout route running. Sanders would be a sure-fire positive offensive addition to teams lacking at the tight end position, but could also be one weapon away from contention. Sanders’ catch rate and power running after the catch make him a valuable pick for many teams. He has, however, been rumored and mocked to Indianapolis to run alongside Michael Pittman Jr. The key to Sanders is putting him in the right scheme to show how he can stand out. The former Longhorn’s blend of size, athleticism, and natural receiving skills make him the second-best tight end prospect in rookie drafts, and he could be a future fantasy weapon in the right situation. #ucss #nfl #browns #football #clevelandbrowns #brownsnews #deshaunwatson #cleveland
