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.
