They get into who will call plays and if it even matters. Then they talked about what Dorsey’s hire means for Deshaun Watson and what their expectations are for him in his new role. They also discuss how they think Dorsey will coach Watson.

A long holiday weekend means we decided to take a detour from our normal podcasts and open up the Football Insider mailbag for an Ask Us Anything edition of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast.
On a long weekend edition of the podcast, Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe start by discussing which animal they think they could beat in hand-to-hand combat if their lives depended on it before they spend some time on the best bad (and good) advice they've received in life.
They also talk about business they're in. What moment does Mary Kay remember covering the most? What are the moments that give them pause or make them appreciate what they do? What advice do they have when it comes to writing longer features?
They cover a bunch of topics in this edition of the pod.

Ask us anything: Fighting animals, covering Browns moments and best bad advice

We get to watch three Browns OTA practices and three more mandatory minicamp practices over the course of four weeks. So how much of what we see on the field in the spring translates to the regular season?
That's where Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe start on Thursday's Hey, Mary Kay! edition of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast. What are the things we see in these practices that could tell us something about the regular season?
They also answer questions from our subsciribers about Nick Chubb -- Should the Browns slow-play it with their star back? -- that status of contract extensions for GM Andrew Berry and head coach Kevin Stefanski, the vibes around OTAs and the state of the linebacker room.
Then they answer a question about Hue Jackson and what his tenure would have been like in Cleveland with this type of talent.

What types of things things translate from Browns OTAs to the regular season? Hey, Mary Kay!

The Browns were back on the practice field on Wednesday, their second OTA practice and their first open to the media this spring.
Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe were all there, of course, and recapped what they watched on Wednesday’s Orange and Brown Talk podcast.
They start with what they saw from Deshaun Watson, even though he didn’t throw on Wednesday, and what they were still able to learn.
Then they get into the players who were able to participate more, pointing out the players who stood out to them while they watched practice, including a few receivers and some of the rookies.

What we saw during Browns OTAs on Wednesday

The Browns opened OTAs on Tuesday and Deshaun Watson threw in a practice closed to the media. Unfortunately, in their first open practice on Wednesday, Watson won't throw as part of his rehab plan.
Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe start Tuesday's Orange and Brown Talk podcast by discussing Watson's throwing plan and when they might get to watch him throw in a practice. They also get into what it means for Jameis Winston and Tyler Huntley as OTAs roll on.
Then they talk about the players they will be watching when they get to see practice on Wednesday and who they're looking forward to seeing. They discuss two wide receivers and a defensive tackle.

Deshaun Watson isn't throwing Wednesday, so what are we watching now at Browns OTAs?

Deshaun Watson's return to practice is one of the most anticipated storylines of the Browns' offseason program and Wednesday could offer a first glimpse publicly of Watson throwing. Will we actually get to see it?
Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe looked ahead to the opening of Browns OTAs on Monday's Orange and Brown Talk podcast and the first practice open to the media on Wednesday by discussing what to expect from Watson and what they're watching.
They also discuss the status of Nick Chubb and if there's a chance he could make an appearance at one of the practices before they get into the state of the tackle position and how Jack Conklin's timeline to return to the field could clear the way for Dawand Jones at right tackle.
They also discuss the new offense, some players returning from injury on the defensive line and more.
