from Orange and Brown Talk: Cleveland Browns Podcast · host Cleveland.com - Advance Local
On this edition of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast, Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe talk the future of the Browns' coaching staff. Defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz has expressed interest in being a head coach again. What are the pros and cons of promoting Schwartz, considering his experience and the success of the defense, versus the league trend of hiring younger, offensive-minded coaches? Could promoting Schwartz or offensive coordinator Tommy Rees provide stability, or do the Browns owe it to themselves to conduct a full, comprehensive coaching search if they move on from Kevin Stefanski? They also explore the argument for keeping Stefanski as a CEO coach to maintain the continuity of his successful coordinators. Then, Lance Reisland joins Dan to break down the film from the win over the Steelers. - How the Steelers game-planned to stop Myles Garrett and whether it was more than usual. - The decision-making of Aaron Rodgers and the plays he left on the field. - The continued development and areas for improvement for QB Shedeur Sanders. - Standout performances from defensive players like Carson Schwesinger, who played through injury, and the impressive physicality of Tyson Campbell. Finally, we wrap up with a fun draft of overrated holiday traditions, debating everything from the New Year's Eve ball drop to Black Friday shopping.
