It's a big preview of the Browns vs. Pittsburgh on Sunday, as Scott Patsko and Ellis Williams, along with Doug Lesmerises, dig into two big Browns issues on Gotta Watch The Tape in the Orange and Brown Talk feed. This is you numbers and film deep dive from cleveland.com that comes to you every Tuesday and Friday. On this episode:

-- Ellis Williams looks at Baker Mayfield's two very different halves against Indianapolis last week and tells you what that means for how the Steelers will defend the Browns this week. If Pittsburgh goes with more man-to-man looks, can Mayfield make the Steelers pay with some big plays to Odell Beckham and others?

-- Scott Patsko looks at the Pittsburgh pass rush and the investment the Browns made at tackle to try to handle a game like this. Steelers star edge rusher T.J. Watt, who has been as productive as Myles Garrett this season, should be lined up over Browns right tackle and major free agent signing Jack Conklin for most of the game. If Conklin can hold off Watt, and the Browns can deal with the Pittsburgh blitz, the Browns offense could put up enough points to win a high-scoring game.

It's the Tuesday Gotta Watch The Tape, where two major topics around the Cleveland Browns are dissected with numbers and film. Doug Lesmerises, Scott Patsko and Ellis Williams bring you this pod twice a week in the Orange and Brown Talk feed, every Tuesday and Friday during the season.

First up this week is Scott Patsko on Olivier Vernon. What kind of production are the Browns getting from the defensive end who plays opposite Myles Garrett? How does it affect how teams plan for Garrett? What does it mean for the Browns' pass rush against Pittsburgh this week?

Then it's Ellis Williams on Kevin Stefanski. Is he a difference-making head coach yet? What are the six areas where Ellis thinks Stefanski is really standing out so far? How is it going with Stefanski calling his own plays as a first-year head coach?

It's two more great deep dives, as you get every time on Gotta Watch The Tape. Thanks again for joining us.

It's the Friday Gotta Watch The Tape from cleveland.com, and we're breaking down both sides of the showdown between Baker Mayfield the the NFL's No. 1 ranked defense. So thanks for joining Doug Lesmerises, Scott Patsko and Ellis Williams for this twice-weekly deep dive into the Browns using numbers and film.

First up, Scott analyzes Mayfield and how the Browns have used him so far this season in the play-action game. Kevin Stefanski and Freddie Kitchens have different ideas on how to use play-action, and what Stefanski wants to do this year seems to makes a lot of sense. But so far, Mayfield's play-action numbers don't quite stack up to what he did under Kitchens last year. Why is that? Scott will tell you, and he predicts how things will continue with this big part of what the Browns ask Mayfield to do.

Then Ellis takes a deep look at the Indianapolis defense that the Browns are facing Sunday and just why that group ranks first in the league in defensive DVOA. Ellis looks at the talent up front, the scheme that will require Mayfield to hit tight windows on Sunday, and the success that the Colts' defense has had this season on third down. This is the best defense the Browns have faced so far, and we'll know a lot more about this Cleveland offense after Sunday.

Thanks for listening to Gotta Watch The Tape.
