Cleveland Browns vs. Pittsburgh Steelers final predictions ahead of the Monday Night Football game Sep 15, 2023

Show notes

Myles Garrett, Za'Darius Smith, Ogbo Okoronkwo, Dalvin Tomlinson and the rest of the Cleveland Browns d-line dominated the Bengals in Week 1.

The chances of them destroying Kenny Pickett & the Pittsburgh Steelers o-line in Week 2... are even higher.

McNuggets did a deep statistical dive into how the 49ers blew up the Steelers' offensive game plan and it indicates the Browns might be in for the exact same success on Monday Night Football.

Nick Chubb was used in both the running and passing game against the Bengals. Was that an anomaly, or will Kevin Stefanski continue to use Chubb as a multi-faceted weapon throughout the season?

The Browns debuted their white helmets and practice uniforms on Thursday and as expected, absolute fire. Can Cleveland lose in these bad boys? We're starting to think it's not even possible.

Former Browns' QB Tim Couch also makes his 2023 UCSS debut to discuss Deshaun Watson's Week 1 performance and his expectations for DW4 the rest of the season.

And at 12:30 ET, we shift over to WKYC for our TV debut!

Is Mike Tomlin the Cleveland Browns biggest hurdle to beating the Steelers on MNF? Sep 14, 2023

Show notes

The Cleveland Browns are seven games into the Deshaun Watson experiment and while the team is 4-3 in the games Watson has started, the former NFL leader in passing yards has yet to put up a giant game, at least statistically speaking.

Is Monday Night Football, against the Pittsburgh Steelers, on national TV, the perfect time for Deshaun Watson to remind the country how talented he truly is?

It feels like the stars could be aligning for a breakout DW4 performance.

Aditi Kinkhabwala & ESPN Steelers reporter Brooke Pryor both join the show to preview MNF's monster showdown and how the two teams matchup against eachother.

We break out "No Fence Riders" for some definitive answers to the biggest questions looming over the Browns/Steelers matchup.

And lastly, the Steelers have owned Cleveland in Pittsburgh over the last two decades. The 49ers just crushed Mike Tomlin's team to start the season. How does that factor into Monday's matchup?

BEHIND THE GLASS: What's the Cleveland Browns BIGGEST advantage over the Pittsburgh Steelers? + Who is CB1, Ward or… Sep 14, 2023

Show notes

The Cleveland Browns are preparing to face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football.

A lot of talk has been about how Dawand Jones & Jed Wills will handle TJ Watt & Alex Highsmith, but the biggest mistmatch in the game may actually be Myles Garrett, Za'Darius Smith & the rest of the Browns d-line vs. the Steelers subpar offensive line.

The 49ers generated 28 pressures against the Steelers in their Week 1 win.

Denzel Ward or Martin Emerson? Who is the Browns' CB1? The fact you can argue either side is a testament to the Browns secondary.

Plus, UCSS is headed to WKYC on Friday's for football season. If you have any questions about the process, the Behind the Glass guys are here to answer all your questions.

Can the Cleveland Browns snap their losing streak IN Pittsburgh on MNF vs. the Steelers? Sep 13, 2023

Show notes

It's only one week, but the Cleveland Browns currently sit atop the AFC North standing after throughly destroying the Cincinnati Bengals at home in the opener.

Entering the year, the Browns had the 3rd best odds in the division to win it all, but now, the team has closed the gap and is essentially tied with Cincinnati & Baltimore for the best odds to clinch the automatic playoff spot.

Should Cleveland be considered the the favorites already, or is Vegas jumping the gun?

The Browns signed veteran OT Ty Nsekhe to help boost its offensive line group after placing Jack Conklin on IR. With Dawand Jones & Jed Wills starting at the tackle spots moving forward, can the Deshaun Watson survive under center this season, or does the team need to add a veteran presence to help solidify that unit?

Leroy Hoard makes his weekly appearance to take a victory lap about Nick Chubb's insane Week 1 performance.

Plus, special edition of Cleveland Browns / Pittsburgh Steelers trivia lot and a walk through the Muni lot with McNuggets.

Browns rookie OL Dawand Jones will make his first NFL start against Steelers star T.J. Watt Sep 12, 2023

Show notes

It's a rookie vs. an All-Pro.

Cleveland Browns rookie Dawand Jones will get his first start on Monday against the Pittsburgh Steelers in place of Jack Conklin, who suffered a season ending injury against the Bengals.

That means Jones will be lined up head-to-head against TJ Watt, who is one of the best pass rushers in the history of the NFL. Can the rookie hold his own against the All-Pro, or will we get to witness Jones' "welcome to the NFL, rook" moment?

While the Browns may not have Jack Conklin, the Steelers are without DT Cam Heyward, who is nursing an injury of his own. What is the bigger loss for Monday's game, Conklin or Heyward?

PFF released its game grades for the Browns/Bengals. The UCSS crew will see if their eye test matched up with what PFF's graders had to say.

Cam Wolfe from NFL Network makes his UCSS debut to break down what he say on Sunday between the two AFC North teams. Then Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com makes her weekly appearance to discuss the Browns win over the Bengals and what has to happen Monday for the team to improve to 2-0.

Myles Garrett & the Cleveland Browns defense put on the best performance since 1999. Is this legit? Sep 11, 2023

Show notes

"Cleveland is just Cleveland."

"I almost called them the elves."

We can guarantee you Ja'Marr Chase is regretting those comments after Sunday's absolute butt-whooping.

The Cleveland Browns dominated the Cincinnati Bengals 24-3 to secure a Week 1 victory.

Myles Garrett, Za'Darius Smith, Ogbo Okoronkwo, Martin Emerson, Denzel Ward, Greg Newsome II and Grant Delpit all played top-notch games, holding Joe Burrow to fewer than 100 passing yards in a game for the first time since high school.

Offensively, Nick Chubb led the way for the Browns with 100+ yards on the ground.

Weather played a role in the game for both sides, but Deshaun Watson handled it better than Burrow did. Watson was far from perfect, but he did enough to lead the Browns to two TD drives.

Starting right tackle Jack Conklin suffered what is feared to be a season ending injury, meaning rookie Dawand Jones could be thrust into action way sooner than expected. Is Jones ready to hold down the fort opposite of Jed Wills?

Also, can Kevin Stefanski coach 17 games against the Bengals each season? Stefanski seems to be at his best against Cincinnati, but not at the same level against the rest of the league. Why?

IT'S VICTORY MONDAY FOLKS!!!!
