How is Kevin Stefanski's rushing gameplan working out? What kind of run defenses will the Browns face in the next several weeks? And are the backs being led by the best offensive line in football?

On this Friday Gotta Watch The Tape from cleveland.com, Ellis Williams breaks down the Houston Texans on both sides of the ball while Doug Lesmerises nods along. The Texans are scheduled to visit the Browns at 1 p.m. on Sunday in a game that might feature rain and wind. Houston has a franchise quarterback in Deshaun Watson and a star left tackle in Laremy Tunsil, but not much else on offense. There's no real run game, and Myles Garrett and Denzel Ward should be able to provide answers to the Houston pass game. On defense, the Texans have been one of the worst teams in the league. J.J. Watt is there, but no longer playing at his peak, and former Ohio State cornerback Bradley Roby has provided solid coverage. But this again is a defense on which the Browns should be able to run, and if the weather is bad, that might be an edge for the home team. Everything you need to get ready for Sunday's game is in this pod. Thanks for listening to Gotta Watch The Tape in the Orange and Brown Talk feed.

First, Scott examines the Browns pass defense and where it ranks compared to other teams in the league. Who are the players most to blame for the issues there, but how much of a problem is it really?

Two more big Browns breakdowns on this Gotta Watch The Tape episode from cleveland.com featuring Ellis Williams, Scott Patsko and Doug Lesmerises. First, Ellis dives into Kevin Stefanski's play calling and some of his tendencies over the first six weeks. The first-year head coach gets a rematch for the first time with the Bengals on Sunday, and there are a few things Ellis found that Stefanski must do to make life easier on the offense and Baker Mayfield. Then Scott looks at cornerback Denzel Ward and how he's been playing this season. He's in the same contract situation as Mayfield and the Browns will have an interesting evaluation to make as they think about Ward's performance and how that lives up to his status as the No. 4 pick in the draft and how his contract desires might compare to the best corners in the league. Scott has some stats that are in Ward's favor and some that are against him. Thanks for making Gotta Watch The Tape part of your Browns week every Tuesday and Friday.

This is you numbers and film deep dive from cleveland.com that comes to you every Tuesday and Friday. On this episode: -- Ellis Williams looks at Baker Mayfield's two very different halves against Indianapolis last week and tells you what that means for how the Steelers will defend the Browns this week. If Pittsburgh goes with more man-to-man looks, can Mayfield make the Steelers pay with some big plays to Odell Beckham and others? -- Scott Patsko looks at the Pittsburgh pass rush and the investment the Browns made at tackle to try to handle a game like this. Steelers star edge rusher T.J. Watt, who has been as productive as Myles Garrett this season, should be lined up over Browns right tackle and major free agent signing Jack Conklin for most of the game. If Conklin can hold off Watt, and the Browns can deal with the Pittsburgh blitz, the Browns offense could put up enough points to win a high-scoring game.

It's the Friday Gotta Watch The Tape from cleveland.com, and we're breaking down both sides of the showdown between Baker Mayfield the the NFL's No. 1 ranked defense. So thanks for joining Doug Lesmerises, Scott Patsko and Ellis Williams for this twice-weekly deep dive into the Browns using numbers and film. First up, Scott analyzes Mayfield and how the Browns have used him so far this season in the play-action game. Kevin Stefanski and Freddie Kitchens have different ideas on how to use play-action, and what Stefanski wants to do this year seems to makes a lot of sense. But so far, Mayfield's play-action numbers don't quite stack up to what he did under Kitchens last year. Why is that? Scott will tell you, and he predicts how things will continue with this big part of what the Browns ask Mayfield to do. Then Ellis takes a deep look at the Indianapolis defense that the Browns are facing Sunday and just why that group ranks first in the league in defensive DVOA. Ellis looks at the talent up front, the scheme that will require Mayfield to hit tight windows on Sunday, and the success that the Colts' defense has had this season on third down. This is the best defense the Browns have faced so far, and we'll know a lot more about this Cleveland offense after Sunday. Thanks for listening to Gotta Watch The Tape.

On this Tuesday episode, Scott leads off with a look into the Cleveland success in stopping opponents from running.

Then Ellis checks in on the Nick Chubb injury. Will the Browns actually be fine without him? What will Kareem Hunt's workload look like? Will Baker Mayfield have to throw it more? Is D'Ernest Johnson a real answer in relief? This is a new and growing option in the Orange and Brown Talk feed, and we appreciate you giving it a chance.
