The Cleveland Browns make MAJOR staff changes, Andrew Berry presser reax & the Cavs keep winning
Kevin Stefanski is safe, Ken Dorsey & Andy Dickerson are out.
That’s the latest from the Cleveland Browns on its approach to fixing the ship for 2024. Is it the right call to retain Stefanski? Who could replace Dorsey as the team’s new OC? Those are all questions that need to be figured out ASAP.
The Browns have the #2 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Who is the perfect pick for Andrew Berry and the Browns at that spot?
Will Deshaun Watson have a place in this offense when he recovers from his Achilles injury?
Plus, the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Hornets last night for the team’s 10th straight win of 10-or-more points, setting up a marquee matchup on Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

G Bush hit the nail on the head about Stefanski.
Man Bulls ADHD is diabolical lol around that 19:47 mark man lol

Whoever hire these two guys must be held accountable. I mean, their decision days are over.
Stefansky may have great integrity but i think when guys try and push the envelope to some sense of identity… they get them outta there and shift the blame…
Happy New Year to the UCSS. Thanks for another great year of analyzing cleveland sports. Would you guys give the wizards cash a player and future draft pick for Jonas V to be the Cavs back up center in case Allen gets hurt like he did last year?
Stefanski has been here for 5 years and has never been able to choose his QB
It's dumb to let a Coach on the "Hot Seat" draft the #2. It's no way he'll do well w/ a rookie. Fire him now, & let new HC pick the #2.😎
I hate it when people who are not in on any of the front office conversations, act as though they were in the room. If you were not in on any of the conversations, don't report it as if you were there. I don't care what you think went on, because 9 times out of 10 you are incorrect.
I appreciate all the hard work you guys put into your show…, 42 years old and been a die hard fan my whole life…, this season was the most depressing season in the history of the franchise, expectations were very high this year!!!!!!
I’m just relieved we’re DONE with Watson, I was so happy when we first got him!!! I drank all the kool aide man, boy was I wrong.
We underestimated how much off the field drama would affect gameplay!!! That man was LOVED!!! I actually feel sorry for him but it’s hard to feel bad for a guy that owns a plane.
I'd be stunned if they didnt take a qb #2. They made the decision weeks ago to get a high draft pick. They didnt do that just to trade down and trade out of a blue chip player. The goal was qb or blue chip player. Now they can have their choice. My thing is if they pass on qb, and that person goes on to be a fqb they look stupid. Its the most important position in sports. They have the DPOY and won 3 games, none of those other talents translate to wins. They just dont. MG himself beat the Colts last year and hes a HOF talent. Passing on a qb when you dont have one and you're in position is something this franchise has done countless times. How can you go into 2025 and roll with just a vet and a mid rounder? They win 5 games everyone is fired, you win 8 games, cool but now your out of position to get your qb and you have to trade assets to go get one. IMO address needs in FA, still sign your vet, but draft your qb. You can maybe buy them some time before throwing them to the fire. But you have an idea who your future is at the position.
The situation in Clev is good if your a qb. You rarely are a top 3 prospect going to a former playoff team. They have a wr 1, a tight end, and are committed to running the ball and giving you a play action run game. Plus you have a solid defense.
And if its draft capital you want, just trade back from the top of round 2. Its a highly valuable pick. You can move back and pick up a 3/4 or future 2 pending how far back you go and what you want. If they dont love a qb, then just stick and pick Carter. Least its someone who can rush the passer and has all pro level talent you can pair with Garrett. Getting cute and trading down is how you piss around and end up with a lesser talent, and I'm sorry these guys have not shown the ability to move down and still get talent.
Every year "this qb class sucks, wait til next year" and time and time again someone becomes a guy, sometimes more than one. 2017 prime example. Nobody thought much of Herbert. Nobody thought anything of Nix. If you're waiting for your generational Elway prospect you'll be waiting a long time. Last one was Lawrence and he looks like an average qb.
Imagine going through that season, and picking a tackle at 2. I'd be furious. Tackles dont score points. Bengals passed on tackle took Chase and went to SB, addressed that position in FA. You can plug that with FA.
But wasn't it Kevin Stefanski who hired Ken Dorsey? The offense looked bad no matter who was running it. They could not run the football, and the offensive line was not winning the battle during pass plays. If Bill Callahan was there, I bet the offense would have looked much better no matter who was at quarterback. Kevin Stefanski also hired the new offensive line coach too. It will be interesting to see who he hires as offensive coordinator and offensive line coach now, because Kevin Stefanski has used up all of his free passes. I am sure that he will get his way and the Browns will go out and get Kirk Cousins to run his system at quarterback, but if that fails, then it is squarely on Stefanski.
having guys dont say anything about the coach isnt a flex because a coach its just to be liked its about being tuff and getting the best of your players
that was they fault not dw4 hes doing what they asked.
So let me get this straight……we are moving from a bad offense, back to another bad offense that was never top 10 in the league to begin with??? 😂😂😂😂😂
That SNAKE Berry threw STE CANT WIN SKI under the bus 😂😂😂 "Hiring Dorsey was STE CANT WIN SKIs decision" 😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡
Doug pederson really developed trevor Lawrence lmao
Rees developed Ian Book into a 4th round pick. If youre a notre fan or watch their games, you know that was quite an accomplishment
Now that DW4 is out of the way, the next move is to TRADE MYLES! His value will NEVER BE HIGHER and he has more football behind him than in front of him.
Browns can get 2 1st rounders for him now which will really help this rebuild get off the ground!
So Bull, WHO FLIPFLOPS CONTINUOUSLY, makes a big drama about a huge announcement he has to make…..but just FLIPFLOPS again…..😒😒😒
Jacoby brissett was above average. He just had one of the worst rush defenses in a couple of decades on that team
Baker Mayfield 4878 total yards, 44 total tds, 71.4% completion percentage, 106.8 passer rating. 10-7, division champs again, #3 seed in the playoffs, probowl again. Looks like gbush and bull were wrong about every part of their deshaun and baker trade takes. 😂
Did ya'll see Bakers MVP numbers???? Imagine if we had a QB like that….
The players "defend STE CANT WIN SKI" is because he is SOFT, gives them an easy path to a paycheck, isn't on their ass, lies to the media for them etc…….
3-14 and Lloyd and Bull have the pipe rammed all the way down their throats……UNBELIEVABLE…..these are very UNSERIOUS media guys…
I heard that the setback Watson suffered was a fracture of his starterus major compounded by a strain in his Stefanski-Berry connectus tissue.
You draft abdul carter or mason graham and dont trade down far enough to where you arent able to get either of them
Lloyd setting up the future excuses already 😂😂😂 "this isn't a strong QB clas" 🤡🤡🤡
I can't wait for the dome!!! It's the best thing that has happened to Cleveland and the Browns since 1999!!!
The cavs and knicks didn't do any maintenance days last year and how'd that work out for them in playoffs?? Both teams were broken down physically at the end of the year. The cavs are different this year because they are keeping their minutes per game low
G bush said it, be a leader of Men Stefanski!!! This upcoming season ALL eyes r On u pal!!! Let’s see how this draft goes!!! The reason I still love this team is because of guys like you!!!
Baker was ALWAYS GONNA BE WHO HE HAS BECOME……Berry and STE CANT WIN SKI thought they were smarter than everyone and destroyed the forward momentum of this franchise and we are yet again in REBUILD MODE!
Vrable is one of the most overrated coaches in the league lol
