Browns quarterback Jameis Winston has captured the imagination of the Browns fan base with his play on the field and what he's provided the team off the field. It has been a perfect fit for a team out of playoff contention and well on its way to another disappointing season.

Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe start this Thanksgiving Day edition of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast by discussing Winston's presence and why it matters in this moment and what it means for the future.

They also talk about wide receiver Cedric Tillman and the importance of getting him back on the field ASAP to see how he fits with the Browns longterm.

Lance Reisland joins the podcast to break down what he saw on film in the Thursday night win over the Steelers, including how the Browns and right tackle Jack Conklin shut out T.J. Watt, Winston's performance in the game and then he and Dan do a draft of overrated Thanksgiving foods.

The Browns host the Steelers on Thursday Night Football and we’ve seen what the Steelers can do to a Browns team that’s reeling.

Would a poor performance on Thursday, coupled with a stadium full of Steelers fans, prompt Jimmy Haslam to make a rash decision on Friday?

That’s one of the questions Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe discuss during Tuesday’s Hey, Mary Kay! edition of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast.

They also discuss whether head coach Kevin Stefanski or GM Andrew Berry deserves more blame for what has happened this season.

Then they get into whether Dorian Thompson-Robinson should be playing instead of Jameis Winston and if the Browns could work out a deal to make sure Nick Chubb is back next season.

The Browns are once again facing changes this offseason after getting off to a 2-7 start, raising questions about the future of the organization across the board.

One of the people who could come under fire is offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey, who was brought here to help revive Deshaun Watson‘s career but didn’t take over play-calling until after Watson was lost for the season.

Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe answer questions from our Football Insider subscribers on Wednesday’s Orange and Brown Talk podcast, starting with Dorsey‘s future and what factors will play into whether he’s here beyond this season or not.

They also talk about the future at quarterback and how they will approach the position, the futures of head coach Kevin Stefanski and GM Andrew Berry and how Mike Vrabel and Paul DePodesta factor into the organization’s decision-making.
