Orange and Brown Talk: Cleveland Browns Podcast

On this Gotta Watch The Tape episode in the Orange and Brown Talk feed, Scott Patsko, Ellis Williams and Doug Lesmerises address two areas with an eye on Sunday's playoff game. First, Scott examines the safety play for the Browns and which safeties give the Browns the best chance against Pittsburgh? How does Karl Joseph fit in, as he's been playing better lately? Will Ronnie Harrison be ready to play his best after easing in last week? And with the expected return of Andrew Sendejo, is there any chance we could see more three-safety looks from defensive coordinator Joe Woods? Then Ellis looks at Baker Mayfield and how much he's been used in play-action bootleg lately. Why don't the Browns seem to do that as much vs. the Steelers? What kind of run plays will work best with a backup left guard in the lineup replacing Joel Bitonio? And is this a game for lots of Nick Chubb work?

On this Gotta Watch The Tape from cleveland.com, there's something a little different. Doug Lesmerises is joined by special guest Brandon Thorn, who tracks sack stats that nobody else does at his newsletter, trenchwarfare.substack.com. Thorn watches every sack in the league, and then grades the sacks of all edge rushers, assigning ratings based on what type of lineman the rusher beat, on what down it occurred and how special it was compared to the average sack, among other things. That means he spends a lot of time analyzing Myles Garrett. So Doug and Brandon talked a lot of Garrett, but they also got into former Brown Emmanual Ogbah and current Browns Adrian Clayborn and Olivier Vernon. In the end, Brandon talked about exactly where Garrett fits among the best pass rushers in the league. Scott Patkso and Ellis Williams will be back for a typical Gotta Watch The Tape on Thursday, but for now, enjoy the special sack insight from Brandon, who can be found on Twitter @BrandonThornNFL.

Just one episode of Gotta Watch The Tape on this Christmas week, as we break down numbers and film about the Cleveland Browns. On this episode with Doug Lesmerises, Scott Patsko and Ellis Williams, the emphasis is on fourth down and the red zone as the 10-4 Browns prepare for the New York Jets on Sunday.

On this Gotta Watch The Tape edition of the Orange and Brown Talk, Scott Patsko dives in with a deep look at a former Browns favorite -- current Jacksonville linebacker Joe Schobert. He's now leading the Jaguars in tackles, but he's part of a bad defense. How much do the Browns miss him? Was letting him go as a free agent the right move? What does this tell us about future roster decisions the Browns will face? And how will the Browns attack that Jacksonville defense on Sunday? Then, with Ellis Williams out sick, Doug Lesmerises tries his hand at diving in on a topic. The idea is how much the Browns run game dominates in the second half, with some stats on Nick Chubb big second-half runs, and how the production for both Chubb and Kareem Hunt goes up in the second half.

On this Gotta Watch The Tape episode from cleveland.com, there's a big dive into the trade that is on everyone's minds this week. Scott Patsko looks at the reasoning behind, and the outcome of, the 2016 deal in which the Browns traded the No. 2 pick in the draft to Philadelphia, where the Eagles selected Carson Wentz. In 2016, Wentz played his first NFL game as a rookie QB against the Browns and won, and now on Sunday he'll play in Cleveland for the first time. Joining Scott in that discussion is special GWTT guest Mary Kay Cabot, who provides her memories of the deal and how she thinks it worked out in the end. Then in the second half, Ellis Williams examines key matchups for this Eagles-Browns showdown, including how Cleveland will handle the Philadelphia defensive line. Also, Doug Lesmerises is there.
