Browns pass rusher Myles Garrett took the opportunity on Tuesday to discuss how he felt about T.J. Watt’s and J.J. Watt’s reaction to his first Defensive Player of the Year award last year. It was interesting he decided to address it, even if it was partially in jest.

Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe start Tuesday’s Orange and Brown Talk podcast by talking about Garrett’s comments and why they think he decided to engage in questions about how he felt about what the Watts said after he won the award.

They also discuss the tackle situation as the Browns are trying to figure out a way to replace Dawand Jones, who went on IR after suffering a season-ending injury on Sunday in New Orleans.

Then they talk about head coach Kevin Stefanski and how he’s handling rumors about his future and his job security.

The Browns host the Steelers on Thursday Night Football and we’ve seen what the Steelers can do to a Browns team that’s reeling.

Would a poor performance on Thursday, coupled with a stadium full of Steelers fans, prompt Jimmy Haslam to make a rash decision on Friday?

That’s one of the questions Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe discuss during Tuesday’s Hey, Mary Kay! edition of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast.

They also discuss whether head coach Kevin Stefanski or GM Andrew Berry deserves more blame for what has happened this season.

Then they get into whether Dorian Thompson-Robinson should be playing instead of Jameis Winston and if the Browns could work out a deal to make sure Nick Chubb is back next season.

The Browns lost for the seventh time in the last eight games and fell to 2-8 on the season after an embarrassing defeat at the hands of the Saints.

Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe discussed the state of the team after another loss on their postgame edition of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast.

They talk about if a loss like this — and if another one on Thursday — is the type of loss that can prompt big changes for an organization and how much longer they can keep with the current approach.

They also talk about the play of Jameis Winston and why he’s the right quarterback to lead this team through the remainder of the season.

Lastly, they look at left tackle now that Dawand Jones is out for the year and what the Browns will do to protect Winston’s blindside.

Then Lance Reisland joins the podcast to give a scouting report. What problems does Saints offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak’s scheme present? How vulnerable is the Saints defense? Then Lance makes his pick for the game.

Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson‘s season is over and his time with the team could be over, too. What did cleveland.com‘s film expert Lance Reisland see when he watched all of Watson’s snaps?

Lance joined the Orange and Brown Talk podcast on Thursday to go through what he saw when he watched Watson and why it didn’t work. How much was scheme? How much was the talent around him? How much was just him not being the player he was?

Before Lance joined the podcast, Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe discussed the news of the day, going through Kevin Stefanski‘s response to Jedrick Wills Jr.’s comments, Jameis Winston returning to New Orleans and Jordan Hicks' comments about Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah.

The Browns are once again facing changes this offseason after getting off to a 2-7 start, raising questions about the future of the organization across the board.

One of the people who could come under fire is offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey, who was brought here to help revive Deshaun Watson‘s career but didn’t take over play-calling until after Watson was lost for the season.

Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe answer questions from our Football Insider subscribers on Wednesday’s Orange and Brown Talk podcast, starting with Dorsey‘s future and what factors will play into whether he’s here beyond this season or not.

They also talk about the future at quarterback and how they will approach the position, the futures of head coach Kevin Stefanski and GM Andrew Berry and how Mike Vrabel and Paul DePodesta factor into the organization’s decision-making.

Browns left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. outlined on Monday the events that led to him losing his job to Dawand Jones and said he made a “business decision” prior to the Browns' win over the Ravens.

There were already questions about Wills' future here, but his comments only put more of a spotlight on what it looks like for GM Andrew Berry’s first draft pick.

Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe discussed Wills' comments on Tuesday’s Orange and Brown Talk podcast and what it means for Wills in the longterm, either here or elsewhere.

They also talk about what the status of Wills means for the Browns moving forward and what it says about Berry and his future as the person responsible for picking this roster — if he is the person picking the roster.

Browns GM Andrew Berry held his bye week press conference on Sunday and offered few clues as to what the Browns will do this offseason with quarterback Deshaun Watson. That doesn't mean that Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe weren't going to go sleuthing through what he said.

Thursday's Orange and Brown Talk podcast starts with the three of them discussing what Berry said about his quarterback and Watson's future with the team and if he gave any indication about what it could look either keeping Watson or moving on from him.

Then they talk about what Berry said about Kevin Stefanski and the tackle situation.

Lance Reisland joins the pod in the second half to talk about what went wrong on the blown coverages against the Chargers, why Jameis Winston struggled and why the run game can't get going before he asks his question of the week and they do an impromptu Halloween candy draft.

A quiet trade deadline passed for the Browns on Tuesday, featuring the trading away of Za'Darius Smith and the release of Quinton Jefferson. Now it's on to the final eight weeks of the season and playing out the remainder of the year before they have to make difficult decisions.

Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe got together shortly after the expiration of the deadline on Tuesday and talked about the move to deal Smith and if it was the right thing to do and if the Browns got enough.

Then they went deeper on the state of the roster and what comes next. There's some sort of reset coming, but how long of a detour will the Browns need to take before they can think about trying to win a championship again? What will they do at the quarterback position? Could they move some of their stars in the offseason?

They also look around the AFC North at what the other teams did as they try to push to make the postseason.
