Browns Plainly Podcast

Browns left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. outlined on Monday the events that led to him losing his job to Dawand Jones and said he made a “business decision” prior to the Browns' win over the Ravens.

There were already questions about Wills' future here, but his comments only put more of a spotlight on what it looks like for GM Andrew Berry’s first draft pick.

Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe discussed Wills' comments on Tuesday’s Orange and Brown Talk podcast and what it means for Wills in the longterm, either here or elsewhere.

They also talk about what the status of Wills means for the Browns moving forward and what it says about Berry and his future as the person responsible for picking this roster — if he is the person picking the roster.

Browns GM Andrew Berry held his bye week press conference on Sunday and offered few clues as to what the Browns will do this offseason with quarterback Deshaun Watson. That doesn't mean that Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe weren't going to go sleuthing through what he said.

Thursday's Orange and Brown Talk podcast starts with the three of them discussing what Berry said about his quarterback and Watson's future with the team and if he gave any indication about what it could look either keeping Watson or moving on from him.

Then they talk about what Berry said about Kevin Stefanski and the tackle situation.

Lance Reisland joins the pod in the second half to talk about what went wrong on the blown coverages against the Chargers, why Jameis Winston struggled and why the run game can't get going before he asks his question of the week and they do an impromptu Halloween candy draft.

A quiet trade deadline passed for the Browns on Tuesday, featuring the trading away of Za'Darius Smith and the release of Quinton Jefferson. Now it's on to the final eight weeks of the season and playing out the remainder of the year before they have to make difficult decisions.

Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe got together shortly after the expiration of the deadline on Tuesday and talked about the move to deal Smith and if it was the right thing to do and if the Browns got enough.

Then they went deeper on the state of the roster and what comes next. There's some sort of reset coming, but how long of a detour will the Browns need to take before they can think about trying to win a championship again? What will they do at the quarterback position? Could they move some of their stars in the offseason?

They also look around the AFC North at what the other teams did as they try to push to make the postseason.

We know the Browns will be in a position this offseason trying to figure out the future at the quarterback position. They’ll have to decide what to do with Deshaun Watson and who Dorian Thompson-Robinson is longterm.

What about Jameis Winston?

Could he realistically play his way into the discussion at the position beyond this year or will the Browns have to find a different way to address the position?

Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski surprised everyone on Wednesday when he announced he is handing play-calling duties over to offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey.

Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe start Thursday’s Orange and Brown Talk podcast by discussing Stefanski’s decision to hand over play-calling?
