  • 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.

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.
What’s different about Browns head coach Todd Monken? Hey, Mary Kay!
Q: What is the biggest challenge Monken will face during OTAs and camp?
The biggest challenge is pulling the offense together with five new starting offensive linemen and a new quarterback, along with a large number of rookies. The hosts emphasize dialing back just enough so players can play fast, keeping a balance between complexity and clarity, and ensuring the starting group gets enough reps to establish timing and chemistry.
What’s different about Browns head coach Todd Monken? Hey, Mary Kay!
Q: What do you see from Todd Monken that would give Browns fans hope for a brighter future?
Mary Kay describes Monken as someone who communicates with intensity, runs a highly competitive practice environment, emphasizes lots of 11-on-11 reps and game-like periods, and is focused on establishing a clear plan and tempo. She suggests his NFL experience and prior coaching success should help install a demanding but organized approach that could accelerate player development, especially for a young offense, while leveraging a veteran coaching staff.
Who stood out at Browns rookie minicamp? Hey, Mary Kay!
Q: Will Taylen Green make the team and what is his ceiling?
Yes, he has a high ceiling athletically, and with proper coaching and development he could develop into a starting quarterback; there are clear steps to take, including improving cadence, release, and reading progressions.
