How Todd Monken is making his mark on the Browns
6d ago00:27:08Tap to summarizeThe Browns’ decision to hire Todd Monken turned heads, but the early returns on Monken, at least through the offseason program, have been strong. Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe continue their pre-training camp series on the Orange and Brown Talk podcast by digging into Monken’s hire and their first impressions of the Browns new coach. Has Monken managed to change the narrative on his hire or will that only happen if he wins on Sundays? What about the culture change he’s brought? They discuss why they think Monken might be the right coach at the right time for the Browns and what they expect to learn about him during his first training camp as Browns head coach.

Transcribe →How the Browns rebuilt their offensive line this offseason
1w ago00:24:19Tap to summarizeBrowns GM Andrew Berry had one big job this offseason and, at least on paper, he got it done. Berry set out to remake his team’s offensive line and through trades, free agency and the draft, he managed to put together what should be a group that can protect his quarterback and open holes in the run game. Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe went through Berry’s remake of the line on the Orange and Brown Talk podcast. They talked about left tackle Spencer Fano’s ceiling and when he should take over the starting job full-time. They also talked about the mission of finding the best five guys and the one spot on the line that is still open.

Transcribe →How Jared Verse and the Browns will keep the pass rush going without Myles Garrett
1w ago00:27:20Tap to summarizeWe know one thing about the Browns pass rush without Myles Garrett: It will look different. How different? That’s the question Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe try to answer on the latest Orange and Brown Talk podcast ahead of the opening of training camp. They dig into how Verse will still give the Browns a high-level pass rusher, even if he’s a different type of rusher than Garrett. Then they turn their focus to the rest of the defense and the defensive line. The reality is the Browns and new defensive coordinator Mike Rutenberg will have to find ways to generate a pass rush. Garrett is gone and Verse is here. This is how the Browns’ pass rush will evolve.

2w ago00:26:04Tap to summarizeThe Browns made a big splash this season when they drafted wide receivers KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston on the first two days of the NFL Draft.

Transcribe →One thought about every position on the Browns roster
4w ago00:52:38Tap to summarizeThe offseason program gave us a chance to get a first look at the Browns roster and how players and positions will be utilized under this new coaching staff. Lance Reisland joined Dan Labbe on the Orange and Brown Talk podcast to go through the roster position-by-position and come up with one sentence, word or thought about each position. They start at running back, work their forward on offense and then work front to back on the defensive side of the ball. They even wrap the podcast up like they do their in-season podcasts, with an offbeat question: If you could only celebrate one holiday, which one would it be?
