Orange and Brown Talk: Cleveland Browns Podcast

On this Thursday Orange and Brown Talk podcast from cleveland.com, Doug Lesmerises is joined by Scott Spratt of Football Outsiders to talk about fantasy football in general, but especially how it relates to the Browns. Can Baker Mayfield be drafted as a starting fantasy quarterback? When is the right time to pick Odell Beckham Jr. in your draft? What's the right way to view the Nick Chubb-Kareem Hunt RB combo from a fantasy perspective? Are any Browns tight ends worth watching as fantasy prospects? What effect might an improved Browns defense have on Browns offensive fantasy players? Plus, there's some discussion of rookie QBs across the league, QB drafting strategy and more.

On this edition of the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast, we lean into one of the craziest ideas Scott Patsko ever had -- looking back at the 1986 Browns barbarian film "Masters of the Gridiron," which features stars of the team running shirtless through the woods, fighting ninjas during a music video and seeking a ring to make them Masters of the Gridiron. Maybe you're very familiar with the 17-minute film, maybe you've never heard of it before, but it warrants at least a brief trip down memory lane At the end of the pod, Scott and Doug Lesmerises do discuss some relevant football numbers as they debate whether last year's Browns data applies this year or not. But honestly, it's mostly Scott and Doug talking Browns barbarians. Thanks for listening to another pod from cleveland.com. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Aaron Schatz, the editor in chief of FootballOutsiders.com, joins Doug Lesmerises on this Tuesday Orange and Brown Talk to talk about what the data might tell us about the 2021 Cleveland Browns. But this might also be a team that bucks the data. The defense is totally revamped; Baker Mayfield almost had two seasons in one last season; Odell Beckham Jr., is coming back from injury ... and there are other reasons that Schatz agreed the Browns are a tough one for this season. There are lots of ways to analyze this team, and this is an angle worth listening to, since Football Outsiders breaks down the numbers of football as well as any site out there.

Doug Lesmerises and Dan Labbe had never seen 'Draft Day,' the movie that thrust the Browns into the national spotlight with Kevin Costner as GM. Scott Patsko had seen it and he had some thoughts. So the three watched the movie and got together to record a podcast recapping all things about the movie. They discussed the most and least realistic, the best and worst performances and dove into the main characters, draft prospects and draft strategy. Want to get involved in Football Insider?

Mary Kay Cabot and Doug Lesmerises are back with another draft on this Friday Orange and Brown Talk. A week ago, they each drafted 12 offensive players to form two teams from the Browns offense. So they'll each 12 defensive players to form two teams from the Browns defense. Doug has the first pick this time and of course selects Myles Garrett. But where should John Johnson III, Jadeveon Clowney, Jeremiah Owusu-Koromoah and Greg Newsome come off the board? Once again, the intention of the draft is to provide a little info about the Browns depth and to address which players are the most valuable, based both off their talent and the guys behind them. And, also, it's July and time to have a little fun before football gets serious again. Thanks for listening to the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast from cleveland.com.

It's another episode of Hey, Mary Kay! on the Orange and Brown Talk question, and Doug Lesmerises couldn't help himself. He asked Mary Kay four questions that she could really dig into: How did she become a Pro Football Hall of Fame voter, and what did she think of the process when she joined that group? Who is a Browns player she covered that could have been a star and a fan favorite if he had been in a better situation -- like for instance, if he was a Brown right now? What would have happened if the Browns had drafted Deshaun Watson, given Watson's current off-field issues? When Myles Garrett's career is over, what might his legacy in Cleveland be? As always, Mary Kay brings the goods. Thanks for listening to the Orange and Brown Talk pod from cleveland.com. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On this Friday version of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast, Mary Kay Cabot and Doug Lesmerises are drafting two Browns offenses against each other. Back and forth, they each pick a 12-man offense while debating and discussing which Browns players are the most difficult to replace, where the Browns have the most depth, and what David Njoku's future in Cleveland might be. It's a breezy little summer exercise that also might inform your view of the offensive roster in new ways. And then you can decide whether Mary Kay or Doug drafted the better offense.

Something a little different on this Orange and Brown Talk episode, as Doug Lesmerises and Chris Fedor talk about both the Browns and the Cavaliers. Doug and Chris relive the three truly down years for the Browns that led to the picks and moves that produced Myles Garrett, Baker Mayfield, Denzel Ward, Nick Chubb and part of the Odell Beckham trade. The Cavs are now in a similar position after three really down years. So who are the Mayfield, Garrett, Ward and Chubb of the Cavaliers' roster? Doug and Chris have the answer to that on a crossover episode that shows why the success of the Browns should encourage another Cleveland team. Want to get involved in Football Insider?

The Browns kick off training camp in 5 weeks. Fear not, we will have new pods coming your way between now and then, but we're also going to take this opportunity to re-run some of our favorite roundtable podcasts from this offseason. Today, it's the quarterback draft we did on February 5. Mary Kay Cabot, Doug Lesmerises, Scott Patsko, Ellis Williams and Dan Labbe drafted quarterbacks as a way to slot where Baker Mayfield ranks. As a reminder, this was recorded a few days prior to the Super Bowl. Some quarterbacks have since switched team and one significant quarterback wants out of his situation in Green Bay. This was also recorded before the allegations against Deshaun Watson were levied. Want to get involved in Football Insider? Click here for more info and to sign up.

Gotta Watch The Tape moves up to Tuesday this week, as Scott Patsko and Doug Lesmerises finish their breakdown of the Browns’ draft picks by diving into sixth-round pick Demetric Felton. This one got very interesting, as Scott broached the idea of Felton perhaps emerging as a new version of Duke Johnson for the Browns as a pass-catching running back. Doug undertook a comparison of Felton and D’Ernest Johnson while making the case for Felton winning the role as the Browns’ third running back this season. There are a lot of numbers and a bit of film at the end as GWTT finishes the Browns’ draft class with a back who could definitely fill a role in 2021.

The Browns finally have decisions to make on extensions. This is new territory for Browns fans and the organization after years of bad drafting has left few players worthy of second contracts. Not any more. Friday's roundtable brings us to extension talk. Who should the Browns extend now? Who should they wait to extend? Who should they consider tagging next offseason or just letting walk? Mary Kay Cabot, Doug Lesmerises, Scott Patsko and Dan Labbe go through extension-eligible players, including Baker Mayfield, Denzel Ward, Nick Chubb and more and vote on what to do with each player this offseason.

On this Gotta Watch The Tape from cleveland.com, Scott Patsko and Doug Lesmerises dig in to the Browns’ two fourth-round picks -- offensive tackle James Hudson III and defensive tackle Tommy Togiai. Scott breaks down the numbers of how likely it is for fourth-rounders at those positions to become starters. Then Scott and Doug look at a little film for each of them, from Hudson’s ability to move as a tackle to Togiai’s strength and his hand technique. And then, how much might either of them contribute this season? In the bigger picture, are Hudson and Togiai the kind of longer term projects who could become starters that are ideal mid-round picks for the Browns at this stage of the franchise?

Gotta Watch The Tape continues to dig into Browns draft picks with numbers and film, and up next is third-round pick and speed receiver Anthony Schwartz. On this episode, Scott Patsko and Doug Lesmerises dive into the Auburn receiver; his size and speed; how he most effectively gets the ball; how he fits into the Browns receivers room; and his potential production this year.

On this Gotta Watch The Tape episode, second-round pick Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah gets the full numbers breakdown from Scott Patsko and the full film breakdown from Ellis Williams. Scott, Ellis and Doug Lesmerises discuss how JOK’s smaller size at linebacker fits into the Browns’ defense; how he’ll mix with Malcolm Smith as a coverage linebacker; and how much he should actually be on the field as a rookie. Then the film shows Owusu-Koramoah breaking up bubble screens, reading quarterbacks and dropping into coverage, disrupting plays and allowing teammates to pursue, and then also what happens when he bites on play-action or has to cover in the slot. GWTT hit Greg Newsome last week and now it’s time for another draft pick. Thanks as always for listening in the Orange and Brown Talk feed from cleveland.com.
