  • Unlistenable

    If you want to hear QB takes that are inaccurate. This is for you. They only talk about quarterbacks on this podcast and you will get no meaningful info from it. Pathetic

  • QB obsession

    I think covering the browns for so long has broken Mary Kay… this woman is obsessed with the search for a qb.

  • Too pro team mantra

    Dan Labbe is informative and a good host. However sadly the Podcast is all about Mary Kay who talks absolute drivel. Every season she says we should sign half a roster without the resources to do so. She also spews Browns mantra to gain favour

  • Downhill

    Absolutely insufferable podcast. MKC was once a pretty good journalist who broke stuff but almost always seems to be wrong now or reporting stuff that in the big picture is pretty small. Also, they CLEARLY have certain agendas that they push that sometimes feel like they come from ownership to be like “See, it’s not that bad!” They could hire me as the head coach and they’d talk about how it’s a great hire and what the team needs.

    Mark Kay is obsessed with the hunt for the mythical “franchise qb”. Just build a good team, stop reaching for the qb

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Shedeur Sanders’ task, the LT competition and Todd Monken moments: Hey, Mary Kay!
Q: Does this team look better organized on offense than in the past?
Overall, the offense has had rough patches with installation and cadence, but the coaching staff and players are focusing on simplifying and pairing it down to what works, with some optimism that the unit can come together as the season approaches.
Shedeur Sanders’ task, the LT competition and Todd Monken moments: Hey, Mary Kay!
Q: Hey Mary Kay, what does Shedeur Sanders have to do to demonstrate that his performance as a rookie outweighs Watson's veteran performance?
Shedeur needs to show that he can handle all pre-snap responsibilities, make the 60 decisions required in Todd Monken's system, execute plays at the line, and manage the offense with cadence and command, while also proving he can perform consistently in game-like settings, not just on highlight throws.
Are Browns expectations fair for 2026 and where does the QB battle stand after three days?
Q: Mary Kay, what did you see out there today in the quarterback competition?
Watson showed some flashes with strong throws but also threw an interception; Sanders had good moments with the twos and a deep ball, and the competition remains very open after three days, with both QBs taking reps and the coaches evaluating progress without a clear frontrunner yet.
How does the Myles Garrett trade change the Browns defense?
Q: What might the three-safety look do to alleviate the loss of Garrett and generate sacks?
The discussion outlines that three safeties allow dropping a safety into the box or playing two-high/one-high looks while still rushing four or five, enabling disguises and overload pressures. It also highlights how safeties can tackle in gaps, cover slots, and free linebackers to blitz or roam, creating more varied pressure schemes without depending solely on Garrett's rush.
How does the Myles Garrett trade change the Browns defense?
Q: How will the loss of Myles Garrett change the defensive scheme?
The guests explain that while Garrett's absence removes a dominant edge presence, the defense can still be effective by using new pressures and disguises, such as a three-safety look, rolling safeties down, and leaning on other pass rushers (Verse, Wright, Graham) to generate pressure. The emphasis shifts to group execution, situational play-calling, and a more versatile front seven that can adapt to different matchups.
