Nick and Jonathan talk about problematic traditions on the day before Thanksgiving. Then, they're joined by Ashley Bastock of Cleveland.com, and they question if more changes could be coming in Berea.
Ashley Bastock joined Nick and Jonathan on Afternoon Drive and broke down Shedeur Sanders' performance against the Raiders and why it was the obvious choice to make him the starter against the 49ers. She also talked about Myles Garrett's chances at DPOY, as well as whether or not she thinks Tommy Rees could leave the Browns to go to UCLA.
On this episode of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast, Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe look ahead to Shedeur Sanders' second start as the Browns prepare to face the 49ers. They debate what a successful outing looks like for the rookie quarterback. Is a performance similar to his debut against Las Vegas enough, or does he need to show clear signs of progress in efficiency and execution? They discuss how the Browns' offense can build on the explosive plays from the last game while also developing more sustained drives. The conversation then shifts to address the off-field narratives surrounding Sanders. They break down the "Game Ball-Gate" controversy that erupted on social media after Kevin Stefanski didn't award Sanders a game ball for his first win. They provide context on Stefanski's history with game balls, his methodical approach to developing rookies, and debunk the conspiracy theories that the coach is attempting to sabotage his young quarterback.
