On this episode of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast, Mary Kate Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe react to the news of Deshaun Watson's return to practice. With his 21-day practice window now open, they debate the biggest question on every fan's mind: Will he play again this season? They dig into the team's motivations, suggesting the move is more about evaluating Watson's recovery from his Achilles injury and rewarding his hard work and mentorship of the rookie quarterbacks. While they believe the plan is to finish the season with the rookies, they all agree you can "never say never" with the Browns. They also look ahead to the future, analyzing Watson's massive contract and why he is almost certain to be on the roster in 2026. This leads to a discussion about whether he could realistically compete for the starting job next year. Finally, the group discusses on-field chemistry issues, focusing on the sideline confrontation between Shedeur Sanders and Jerry Jeudy. They explore the importance of timing, trust, and why the final five games are critical for the development of the team's young players.

Then, Lance Reisland joins the show for his weekly film breakdown of the loss to the Jets. Lance details exactly what went wrong on the two special teams touchdowns, the ongoing fundamental issues with the offensive line and the costly mental mistakes that doomed the Browns in a winnable game. To wrap up, Lance and Dan draft all-time NFL greats using a blind resume format where they pick a team by number and then select a player from that franchise's history. Who builds the better team?

On our postgame edition of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast, Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe break down the Browns' frustrating 27-20 loss to the New York Jets. They start with the quarterback position. After Kevin Stefanski announced he's sticking with Dillon Gabriel, they discuss why that might be the right call, giving Gabriel and new play-caller Tommy Rees more time to gel. They weigh the patience required for a rookie against the growing fan clamor to see Shedeur Sanders, acknowledging that the rest of the season is about evaluating these young quarterbacks. Then, the conversation shifts to the special teams, which completely imploded. A kickoff return and a punt return for touchdowns in just 36 seconds led to 14 points for the Jets. On defense, a critical offsides penalty by Cam Thomas cost the Browns dearly. This leads to a bigger discussion: Is this loss the final straw? The hosts question the coaching, the mental errors and whether it's fair to start wavering on the long-term outlook for Kevin Stefanski and his staff. It was a day of maddening mistakes that has them wondering where the Browns go from here in another disappointing season.

Mary Kay definitively shuts down the speculation, explaining why there is a "zero percent chance" of it happening before the trade deadline. They break down the massive financial dead cap hit that makes any potential deal a non-starter and discuss why the idea was ludicrous from the beginning. From there, the conversation pivots to the bigger picture for the 2 -6 Browns. Is a full-scale rebuild the answer? The hosts discuss why a "tank" is not a viable option in the NFL and how the team is currently straddling two timelines, trying to win with a veteran core while simultaneously building a new foundation with a promising rookie class featuring players like Quinshon Judkins, Mason Graham and Carson Schwesinger. Ultimately, the path forward hinges on one position: quarterback. They explore the immense challenge of identifying and developing a franchise QB, the importance of having a plan and sticking to it and how the current offensive woes, from the quarterback play to the receiving corps, impact the team's ability to evaluate their young talent. It's a deep dive into the state of the Browns and what comes next.

On the latest Orange and Brown Talk podcast, Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe address one of the pressing questions facing the Browns and their struggling offense: Should Shedeur Sanders be getting a look? While starter Dillon Gabriel gets all the first-team reps, the passing game continues to struggle, and his performance hasn't quieted the calls for the other rookie. With a matchup against the New England Patriots and their elite run defense looming, the offense can't just rely on Quinshon Judkins; they need veterans Jerry Jeudy and David Njoku to have feel-good games and prove their Pro Bowl status. On the other side of the ball, the Browns have a championship caliber defense that just had a dominant, get-right game. Can Jim Schwartz's aggressive scheme rattle Patriots QB Drake Maye and carry the team to another victory? We break it all down on Wednesday's episode.
