New week, new mailbag! The show starts with some banter on the Ravens losing some important pieces in the coaching staff and what that means for the division -- one they know never gets easy. Jake and Andrew then answer some listener-submitted questions for them to answer on any range of Browns topics from scheme, tendency, or performance to more broad team-based analysis as the off-season is in full swing. Today starts with Part I where you get topics on Deshaun Watson's play style, how the Browns solve their turnover issues, and the latest on Bill Callahan and the Titans. Later today you will see Part II uploaded, so check back!
If there is anything Browns-related you want answered, the guys will try to find time to do so. This is the ideal point to hit on these topics transitioning from the last week's performance to what lies ahead and they will aim to cover it all.

In this episode of the Browns Film Breakdown Podcast, Jake is joined once again by Andrew Spayde as they open with a discussion of Andrew's future and the development of their new website and the excitement surrounding it. Then they delve into the team's roster and the areas that needed improvement, such as wide receiver, edge rusher, defensive tackle, linebacker, and safety. They discuss the challenges of not having a first-round pick for three consecutive years and the impact it had on the team's ability to address key positions. The hosts then analyze the options available to the Browns in the second round of the draft and the trade they made to acquire additional picks.
