Orange And Brown Talk Podcast

It has been a week for Anthony Schwartz. The Browns receiver struggled on Friday night, but bounced back on Tuesday ahead of joint practices with the Eagles, putting an early drop behind him and catching a long touchdown pass from Jacoby Brissett in two-minute. It was an encouraging sign. What does a successful 2022 season look like for Schwartz? Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe answered that question on Tuesday's training camp recap podcast. Then they discuss Myles Garrett and when he might be back before they offer up Browns players they are watching when Philadelphia comes to town on Thursday.

Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson looked as sharp as he has all training camp on Monday. He has been playing with the second team the last two days with Jacoby Brissett moving up to the first team. Why does Watson seem so loose? Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe talked Watson's on-field performance on Monday before discussing the latest on the appeal process and what a year-long suspension would mean for how we judge the trade for Watson. Then they talk about Kareem Hunt and comments Stump Mitchell made on Monday about how he could be the best back in the league if he learned to be a more patient runner. Why did Mitchell feel it necessary to say it? Lastly, they get into Denzel Ward returning and why Demetric Felton's versatility is both a blessing and a curse.

Jacoby Brissett is the man now for the Browns -- or, at least, for the foreseeable future. As they prepare for life without Deshaun Watson, whether it's six games or more, the Browns and head coach Kevin Stefanski gave Jacoby Brissett most of the first-team work on Sunday and it will stay that way moving forward. Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe start the podcast by talking about the switch and spend time discussing what could prompt the NFLPA to take the NFL to court once the appeal ruling comes down. Then they get into how the Browns offense will look with Brissett compared to how it will look with Watson. In the second half of the podcast, they talk about Greg Newsome II dealing with a hamstring injury and revisit if the Browns should bring back JC Tretter to play center.

The Browns opened their preseason against Jacksonville on Friday night.

On this weekend Orange and Brown Talk Podcast, it's time to talk backup quarterbacks. First, Mary Kay Cabot drops some knowledge about the Browns' signing of Josh Rosen, how he fits in and what they expect of him. What do Ashley Bastock, Scott Patsko and Doug Lesmerises think of the move? Then, Scott, Ashley and Doug run through every other backup quarterback situation in the league and compare it to the Browns. Are the Browns better or worse? That leads to a definitive ranking of exactly where the Browns fit in the NFL when it comes to their backup QBs. It's a bit different to spend this much time on backup QBs, but given that Deshaun Watson will almost certainly be out for part of the season, it's a worthwhile endeavor to put the Browns in context.
