CLEVELAND, Ohio — On this episode of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast, Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe kick things off by tackling the week’s biggest off-field story: Browns GM Andrew Berry breaking precedent by not holding his traditional bye week press conference. With the team at a frustrating 2-6, the decision has sparked debate and speculation among the fan base.
The crew dives into the team’s reasoning, the public pushback, and whether it was a miscalculation to remain silent when fans are demanding answers about the team’s direction, recent trades, and underwhelming performance.
The focus then shifts to fixing the struggling offense. They brainstorm potential solutions coming out of the bye.
Everything is on the table, from making a change at quarterback and trading for a veteran wide receiver before the deadline, to handing over play-calling duties from Kevin Stefanski to Tommy Rees. They debate the likelihood and potential impact of each move as the Browns look to salvage their season against one of the league’s easiest remaining schedules.
Lance Riesland joins the show for a deep dive into the film from the loss to the Patriots. He offers his expert analysis on what’s plaguing the offense, from a lack of rhythm to specific issues with quarterback play and beyond.
