  • Best browns podcast

    This is actually one of the only podcast I make time for nowadays since I no longer have a long commute. It transcends any other sports podcast that I’ve ever listened to, and I appreciate that they don’t spend a lot of time on annoying banter. I feel bad saying this, but sometimes Brad’s voice can be a distraction. I think he’s solid like someone else said. But he’s better if you see him on a video and I also think he does better when he works solo. I think part of that is just the juxtapositio... more

  • Jake is the best

    Love Jake and Brads informed angles on everything Browns. I am a fan from the UK and the way Jake explains player weaknesses and strengths and the Xs and Os through his breakdowns really improve your understanding of the game and the Browns. His rants at times after many a loss and catastrophic decision sum up exactly how it feels to be a Browns fan. He was also key in bringing in Jack Duffin whose expertise on the cap is brilliant. Ace podcast.

  • Dallas’ 2027 1st round pick

    This is Dave from Rochester. Enjoyed your Monday show talking about trade down scenarios. However, wanted to let you know that the Cowboys do not own their first round pick in 2027 anymore. They treated it away to the Jets for Quinnen Williams. That being said, the only first rounder they own in 2027, is Green Bay’s first rounder.

  • My thoughts

    For many years has been my favorite Browns podcast. Cannot say enough about the work the Jake has done building a great show. Has had a few co-hosts throughout the years, but Jake has carried the show all the way through. Don’t listen much anymore, Brad is a great football mind and has sound takes on the Browns, but can’t stand hearing his nasally, mumbling voice. Sounds petty and unfair for what the show is meant for, but in “listening only” form, I just can’t do it. No shade, just my thoughts,... more

  • Best Browns podcast hands down

    Jake is easily the most knowledgeable Browns podcaster. If you want a podcast that’s based on true ball knowledge rather than hot takes, this is the pod for you.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

All Eyez On Cleveland - Minicamp, NFL Draft and Andrew Berry
Q: What is the dominant narrative around the Browns' quarterback competition in April?
The hosts argue that there is no decisive edge after two days of practice and stress that a longer, more comprehensive assessment is necessary before naming a starter, with Monken's offense still being installed and evaluated through OTAs and training camp.
2026 Browns Draft Deep Dive with Fran Duffy of All City Network
Q: What is your view on Kadyn Proctor's ceiling and risk if he remains at left tackle versus moving to guard?
Fran explains that Proctor has an all-pro ceiling if weight and technique are managed, but without that, transitioning to guard could mitigate risk while preserving a high ceiling, given modern guard salaries and positional value.
2026 Browns Draft Deep Dive with Fran Duffy of All City Network
Q: What makes Carnell Tate a viable option at six for the Browns in this class?
Fran argues Tate can be a strong number-two receiver who can win with release and route-running, even if he isn't a true No. 1, and compares him to players like Corey Davis in terms of potential middle-range impact.
2026 Browns Draft Deep Dive with Fran Duffy of All City Network
Q: If the Browns pick six and 24, where are you drawn to taking?
Fran notes the likelihood of offensive tackle or wide receiver at those spots, and explains that the Browns could trade down from six; Kadyn Proctor and Kadyn Proctor conversations come up as high-ceiling options, with guard-slide considerations if weight issues persist.
Voluntary Minicamp Observations, and Ohio State Prospects with Jerrod Slater of Buckeye Film Breakdown
Q: Slate, tell everybody a little bit about your background if you have not covered the Buckeye Film side.
Jerrod Slater describes his background in coaching and scouting, highlighting his Ohio-based coaching career and his role with Buckeye Film Breakdown, which provides in-depth Ohio State football analysis that complements Browns coverage.
