Browns Plainly Podcast

How many games will the Browns win this season if Deshaun Watson is a Top 10 quarterback? How many will they win if he isn't?

Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe answered fill-in-the-blank questions from our Football Insider subscribers on Thursday's Orange and Brown Talk Podcast., starting with one about Watson's performance and how many wins it will lead to if he returns to form.

They also discuss what the defense needs to do for the Browns to win the division and return to the playoffs, which players aren't getting talked about enough and they get into the thought -- or, in Dan's case, lack of thought -- that goes into choosing their wardrobes for videos.

We continue with the five most important Cleveland Browns for the 2023 season with Myles Garrett coming in at number two on the list.

Garrett has been everything one could hope for in a former number one overall pick, he is the franchise's all time sack leader and has shown game changing ability from his defensive end position.

Now paired with a defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz who's focus is defensive line, with Dalvin Tomlinson and Za'Darius Smith. This is by far Garrett's best group of running mates in his time in Cleveland.

The Browns defensive line should go from a team liability in '22 to a strength this upcoming fall.

Smith and newly acquired Juan Thornhill have been impressive with the media to this point talking on how their talents can pair with the holdovers to bring a winning season to the land.

The top 5 Cleveland Browns for 2023 continues as we highlight the number three ranked player, Denzel Ward. Jim Schwartz with Andrew Berry are pairing a pass rushing defensive line that should let Ward have a bounce back year.

Juan Thornhill joins a secondary as savy on the roof play maker with a Super Bowl resume.

Greg Newsome and Martin Emerson should continue to grow.

The new fair-catch kick-off rule, are kick-off's gone forever?

The top 5 Cleveland Browns for 2023 continues as we highlight the number four ranked player in Amari Cooper. Coop has a fantastic year one in Cleveland playing with a weird quarterback situation. With a full year of Deshaun Watson how much more do we think Amari can give production wise.

Elijah Moore brings a great play-making ability that is different than the Cleveland other wide receivers, there should be a lot of "lay ups" where he gets the ball quickly and lets his abilities do the rest.

Donovan Peoples-Jones had better success with Jacoby Brissett than Watson, that needs to change.

Cedric Tillman brings a size nobody in the room has, so his roster spot is locked but filling out the rest of the room does bring up a small question or two.

The Browns lost a legend last week when Jim Brown, the team’s all-time leading rusher, the greatest Browns player of all-time and arguably the greatest running back of all-time, died on Thursday night.

Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe start the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast on Monday by remembering Brown and their interactions with him and how the Browns might honor him.

Then they get into some Hey, Mary Kay! questions from our Football Insider subscribers. How would Joe Woods have done with the talent the Browns have added this offseason? What factors go most into the Browns having success this season -- excluding quarterback and injuries? Is the AFC North as tough as it’s ever been?
