Browns Plainly Podcast

Everything is in the Browns favor to come out of Christmas Eve with a victory over the Saints. The Saints added two more players on offense to injured reserve and rookie wide receiver Chris Olave will also be out of this game with a hamstring injury. Ethan Pocic will return after missing the last four games. Nick Chubb returned to practice and will play Saturday. With the weather being such a factor it plays in to the Browns strength, their running game. It also puts the Saints in a tough spot, their inability to run the ball. We've got your betting lines covered, your three bold predictions and final score predictions.

The Browns Depth at Running Back Will Allow Them to Move The Ball Without Nick Chubb. In this video, we answer the question: If Nick Chubb can't go against the New Orleans Saints, who will fill his shoes? We look at all the latest Cleveland Browns news, including news on Deshaun Watson and the injury to Nick Chubb. We also discuss the Saints news and who might replace Nick Chubb on the field. Make sure to subscribe to our channel for more sports content! Head coach Kevin Stefanski gave a two-word answer yesterday when he was asked if the Cleveland Browns would have running back Nick Chubb available against the New Orleans Saints on Christmas Eve: “Hope so.”

And now after missing his second practice in a row today, there is reason to be concerned about the status of Chubb, who is rehabbing through a foot injury. If he is not good to go, Kareem Hunt will step in for a great deal of the workload, with either Jerome Ford or D’Ernest Johnson serving in relief. Saints Must Halt Browns in Old-Fashioned Week 16 Battle. The Saints performance against the run is the most surprisingly disappointing aspect of their game in 2022. Their slim postseason hopes depend on whether they can reverse that trend in Week 16 at Cleveland. A 5-9 New Orleans Saints team heads north to face the 6-8 Cleveland Browns on Christmas Eve. The Saints can still win the NFC South, but need a win here to keep any realistic hopes alive.

New Orleans was expected to have one of the NFL's best defenses in 2022. They've had their moments, especially over the last month, but have also suffered crucial breakdowns in key situations. The Saints rank 11th in total defense, giving up an average of 327.6 yards per game. However, they rank last in turnovers forced (10) and have struggled on third downs. Most concerning is the failures of a run defense that dominated opponents from 2018 through 2021. They'll take on a physical Cleveland team that got QB Deshaun Watson back from suspension three weeks ago. The Browns average 362.6 total yards per game, ranking 8th in the league. While their passing attack has been erratic, they've had one of the NFL's most consistent ground games. Inclement weather is expected for the game, likely increasing the importance of the running game. The Saints performance against the run is the most surprisingly disappointing aspect of their game in 2022. Can they reverse that trend to keep slim postseason hopes alive?

Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson said on Wednesday head coach Kevin Stefanski was a major reason he chose the Browns this offseason. It ignited some debate on Twitter about whether it was Stefanski or the money.

Why can't it have been both? Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe discussed on Thursday's Orange and Brown Talk Podcast why Stefanski was such an appealing coach and playcaller for Watson as he was making his decision this offseason.

Then Ashley talks about her interview with Cade York and his struggles this season. They talk about their concern level with York and where this goes from here.

Lastly, they get into the Pro Bowl and David Njoku being named an alternate for the Pro Bowl and the progress he's made this season.

Cleveland weather forecast calls for wind and snow in upcoming Saints-Browns game The weather forecast for the upcoming New Orleans Saints-Cleveland Browns game on Christmas Eve calls for wind and snow, with a high temperature of just 15 degrees. Weather.com’s 10-day forecast describes the expected conditions as “Windy with occasional snow showers. High near 15 Fahrenheit. Winds (southwest) at 25 to 40 (miles per hour). Chance of snow 50%. 1 to 3 inches of snow expected. Higher wind gusts possible.”

FirstEnergy Stadium is oriented east-to-west, so while specialists won’t be kicking into the wind there should be a cross-breeze that may push kicks awry. We should also expect both teams to lean heavily on their run game. The Browns have one of the NFL’s best running backs in Nick Chubb (who is averaging 5.0 yards per carry and 89.4 rushing yards per game this season), and the Saints are asking Alvin Kamara to handle the second-highest average of rushing attempts per game (13.7) of his career. Neither squad has thrown the ball effectively this year. Cleveland welcomed Deshaun Watson into the lineup three weeks ago, but he’s clocking just 189.3 passing yards per game while throwing as many touchdown passes as interceptions (2), taking 6 sacks along the way. For comparison, Saints quarterback Andy Dalton is averaging 218.5 passing yards per game this season. Both of these teams want to run the ball and not put the game on their quarterback’s shoulders.

So we’ll see how it works out for them in what’s looking like miserable conditions. The Saints don’t have a great history in cold-weather games (defined as below 32 degrees Fahrenheit), having gone 2-4 since 2006, but they’ve won each of their last two games played below-freezing in the 2013 playoffs (at Philadelphia) and in 2010 (at Cincinnati). If you’re traveling for this game, be sure to grab some hot cocoa.

Find Out Deshaun Watson's PFF Grades Following The Browns Big win vs. Ravens! The Locked On Browns Podcast Is joined by John Kosko of Pro Football Focus. He gives the top grades and his reaction to the Cleveland Browns 13-3 Win over AFC North Division rival Baltimore Ravens.

Watson threw a touchdown pass in his home debut for Cleveland, leading the Browns to an ugly 13-3 win on Saturday over the Baltimore Ravens, who need injured star quarterback Lamar Jackson to get back quickly. In his third game after serving an 11-game NFL suspension for alleged sexual misconduct, Watson wasn't spectacular. But he did enough to help the Browns (6-8) keep their miniscule playoff hopes alive while knocking the Ravens (9-5) off stride. Baltimore had won six of seven. But the loss knocked the Ravens out of first in the AFC North, dropping them a half-game back of Cincinnati pending the Bengals' game at Tampa Bay on Sunday.

Before he left the field, Watson let all his emotions pour out. “It was a lot," Watson said, explaining his feelings at the conclusion. "Just to be able to get my first victory in my first home start, just to get a victory against a tough divisional team. Last week we wanted that one, and it didn’t go our way. “It was me just soaking in the moment and releasing all the energy and the happiness I had in myself. I just wanted yell that and scream that out. I feel like everyone needs that every once in a while.”

Watson, who connected with Donovan Peoples-Jones on a 3-yard TD pass in the third quarter, left FirstEnergy Stadium with a game ball tucked under his right arm. Watson finished 18 of 28 for 161 yards, and added 22 on the ground. He's still not close to playing like a three-time Pro Bowler or franchise QB, but there's no doubt he's getting better every time. “He's trending upward, which we knew he would do,” said Browns star Myles Garrett, w ho had 1 1/2 sacks. “He's a baller.”

Browns rookie Cade York made two field goals — and missed two tries — but outkicked Ravens All-Pro Justin Tucker, the league's most accurate kicker, who missed a 48-yarder and had another attempt blocked by Cleveland defensive tackle Jordan Elliott. Jackson missed his second straight game with a knee injury, and the Ravens aren't the same without his dynamic playmaking ability.

Tyler Huntley, who was only cleared from concussion protocol a few days ago, started again for Jackson but couldn't get Baltimore going. Huntley went 17 of 30 for 138 yards, but threw a critical interception inside Cleveland's 10 in the third. Baltimore's J.K. Dobbins ran for 125 yards, and the Ravens rolled up 198 yards rushing. But forced to throw while playing from behind in the fourth, Huntley couldn't come up with a big play. “We have to just have a better passing game, basically,” coach John Harbaugh said with Huntley sitting nearby. "It’s not a good enough passing game right now across the board to do the things that we’re hoping to do. So, that will be priority one. "Every area can get better at something in certain things, but from an offensive standpoint, that’s something that we have to go to work on, and we will.” After Denzel Ward intercepted Huntley, Watson directed a 91-yard scoring drive, delivering his TD strike to Peoples-Jones with 2:10 left in the third.
