CLEVELAND BROWNS VS. PITTSBURGH STEELERS INSTANT REACTION

CLEVELAND BROWNS VS. PITTSBURGH STEELERS INSTANT REACTION

our mics for something. There it is. Welcome to the first ever remote edition of the Cleveland Browns two-minute morning show brought to you by the ultimate Cleveland sports show. To my left I have Earl the Pearl. I got G. Bush. I’m Mikey McNuggets. We got Anthony in tonight. We were at Sweetport Wilson’s right off 117th in Madison here, guys. It was an absolutely who watches who Come on. That was It’s ahead. for this, too. I think we’re back up. I see the SL and we’re back on, guys. All right, let’s dive into the nitty-gritty here. All right, this offense is absolute dog crap. There’s nothing positive to break down about this game. The Browns got into the red zone into the 5yd line. Quinn Sean Judkins was MIA nowhere to be found. They attempted to throw the ball a few times. Dylan Gabriel had a couple nice throws. A couple throws that were He threw a couple nice balls that were dropped. The offensive line was bad. The play calling left a lot to be desired. And at the end of the day, guys, we’re looking at another game with there’s still about a minute left here where they barely are able to crack double digits, Earl. No, we’re not talking 20. We ain’t even talking 17. We ain’t even 10 points, bro. Double 10 points. Double digits. And continually week after week, we’re having these same conversations about how disappointing it is to come out and watch the Browns play offense like this. Man, it’s like it’s like the same thing, different week, just different opponent, right? Like every aspect of this offense from top to bottom. It’s horrific. Whether you want to talk about the play calling, the scheme itself, it looks like different quarterback, same old, same old. Dylan Gabriel put some balls on the dime. Uh some throws was absolutely horrific. Then you had other throws that were great throws that ended up being drops. If you had a big play and ended up coming back for a penalty, it just seemed like then what the hell was that on the goal line? You finally get a goal line opportunity and you don’t even get Quinsean Jugens in the game to at least carry the ball at least one time. And so it just seems like every single aspect of this offense is horrific. And it’s getting worse and worse by the week. the balance that this offense had last week totally like was just washed away this week here, right? We knew that uh the Pittsburgh Steelers could get got on the ground and the Browns ran the ball 16 times. I think Quench had 12 total carries. We throw the ball 45 times. Like this is a Steelers team that was coming off a by week that was very prepared. And the Cleveland Browns offense, Kevin Stfansky, just didn’t do a damn thing to have this team ready to go the way that they should have. You you know I I I talk about all the time on on the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show. I talk about the human nature of what happens when you playing football. And I I wondered how the Cleveland Browns were going to take it. Uh going into this game, they traded Greg Newsome, the whole Flaco situation, the turmoil, what’s going on at the backup quarterback position. And this is one of those games where you look back at it and when people are dropping the ball and people is off sides and it don’t seem like nothing could go correct. You’re you’re looking at the human nature and the cumulative effect of losing week over week over week over week. And I argue with my brethren all the time. We’ll probably argue again about it on Monday. You can say that they care about 29, but you got to understand people is putting their bodies on the line in 25. People is putting their energy and effort in 25. And if you feel like you can just fast forward and everybody is as a number on a spreadsheet somewhere, you’re not going to make it because you have to inspire these people to go out there and continue to make plays for you. Play hard, make the routine plays. And as we sit here and talk, we got somebody that’s down right now and the left tackle they traded for two weeks and we just got him in the building. So I know it’s not apples to apples and every sport’s different, right? I think Joel Embiid’s a loser. I do. I think Ben Simmons I think Ben Simmons is a loser. And do you know what part of their losing DNA came from was going through the process year after year with just the premise of we’re going to accumulate talent and eventually it’s going to pay off. But you have to learn how to win. Winning does not just happen in the NFL. It doesn’t happen in football. It doesn’t happen in basketball. You must learn how to win just like you learn how to lose. And right now the Browns have a master’s degree in losing football games. They have a PhD. Hell, they might be the only master loser in all of Cleveland, in all the NFL, no one loses better than Cleveland. They don’t know how to win football games. And under Kevin Stfansky specifically, and you go back at the fashion in which they’ve had opportunities to win football games. How many times have we come in on a Monday and said, “They were right there, but they couldn’t execute this or they couldn’t execute that or this didn’t go their way or that.” I’m just sick of the excuses, guys. And at some point, at some point, it’s a culture thing. Losing it starts from the top of the organization and trickles all the way down to the practice squad. Right there it is. Kevin Stfansky and Andrew Barry are the two pillars of this franchise at establishing and setting a culture. Barry on getting the right players in that fit the culture and Stfansky in that locker room of actually cultivating said culture. And the process was a failure in Philadelphia. And those guys to this day they turn out to be great players. They’re they’re losers. I’m sorry. And Joel Embiid has a lot more money than me and he won an MVP. Whatever. He’s a loser. I am terrified that even some of these promising Browns rookies are being brought up in a culture that is just allergic to winning and that doesn’t bode well for me sitting forward. And if there’s ever a reason, in my opinion, to make a head coaching change, I don’t think it’ll happen mid-season, I think you could look no further than this is a culture of losing in Cleveland. It won’t happen, but it should happen. The reality of the situation is his message is is falling on deaf ears right now, right? the philosophy, the whole mantra of smart tough accountable, all that noise is out the door, right? We seen Jerry Judy this past week and his press conference, you know, with some comments that was questionable, body language that was questionable. You just look at it and I’ve heard from people who are around his team every day, Mike, more than we are that some players, they get the vibe that those guys have already checked out and here it is, week six of the season. And so for anything else, man, Kevin Stfansky by all means looks like that he done lost his locker room and this team doesn’t feel confident in his philosophy. And I’ll tell you something else, but everybody who who believe that, you know, Jimmy Hassl put it out there and given him a pass and this year he is what it is and next year everybody will be back. I found this very interesting stat and I’m interested to know what you all think about it. So any coach that has been tenured with say a team for at least seven years and did not win a Super Bowl within that first seven years never ultimately won one with say right. We think about all the years that Andy Reed spent in Philadelphia. Yeah. You made it to a Super Bowl. You made it to a bunch of NFC championships. You never got over the hurdle. You think about Jeff Fischer when he was in Tennessee LA. Same situation there. You look at the situation right now at uh with Green Bay and Matt Laflur. Year seven for him. Everybody talk about Green Bay being this team that is right there on the cusp. We don’t know if he’s going to get it done. Shanahan hadn’t been in San Francisco for over seven years. Yeah, he’s made it to a couple Super Bowls, they didn’t get it done. You look on the flip side of these coaches that’s been with their organizations for over seven and have gotten it done. The Tomlins, the Harballs, the McVeys, etc. What’s my point? If Kevin Stfansky ain’t got it done by now, the data says he’s not going to get it down get it done. The Cleveland Browns need new new blood. They need new breath. They need new energy. They need new everything in that locker room. And let me tell you this, too. The the the age old excuse. There’s three three excuses I hear all the time. Well, I if if if we get rid of him, he’ll get a job somewhere else. I don’t care. Who cares? Listen, I will sh I will shake your hand. I want everybody to get a job if they get fired somewhere else. Hey, listen. We all entitled to earn a living. The second crazy thing is, well, who are we going to get? It ain’t my job to be a general manager and to pick another coach. And the third thing that I get is people say, “Guys, I know you don’t want to hear it. I know you don’t want to hear this, but listen, we’re we’re getting another quarterback and everything we’re doing is in 29.” Let me tell you something. I’m on the ground level. I I listen, I ain’t in no studio. I’m pulled up at Sweetport Wilson’s and I seen thousands and thousands of Browns fans. I went to every table and every single table of people is not trying to hear your 29 narrative. Every single one of these people said, “I got my guy who said, “Listen, G Bush, I take an away trip to watch the Cleveland Browns every single year. I spend money on hotel. I spend money on travel. I spend money on getting around spending on food.” And and you telling me that’s a slap in my face that that that you going to tell me you going to cash my check, spend my money, and not give me a product just to watch. She said it, bro. At this point, I just want something to watch. We really couldn’t even put 10 points on the on the board. No, it’s disgusting. I am baffled by disgusting. And you look at around the league, just the league in general, right? I think you pulled the stat up. The league average in points is 23, right? That was the league average. We’re just asking to come close to average. We’re not saying you have to reinvent the best show on turf, Rams. We’re not asking you to reinvent that 07 Patriots team that Tom Brady and Randy Moss and all those guys were setting records or Payton Manning when he threw for 55 touch. Let’s score eight touchdown. Let’s score one. Just one touchdown. We like there’s 85 100 people in here, right? We went through 20,000 lbs of meat today. Pause. Crazy. We did though. There was ribs. There was brisket wings. Some of the best meat too. Some some high quality barbecue. Smoked meats. Smoked meat. These people are waiting for just one opportunity to go bonkers, man. Drinks were flowing. We We didn’t drink. Steve Becker, we did not drink on the job. I promise you, we did not drink on the job. There were shots flowing. It’s a open bar at Sweet Pork Wilson’s great vibe. And they’re waiting for this. The Browns officially lost, by the way. 23-9 was the final score. It fall one and five on the season. Let’s go over some of the bads because there’s not a lot of goods. The offensive line was once again an abomination. You guys mentioned the discrepancy in the runs versus the passes. 45 I believe was the final number at in terms of pass attempts. 48 for Gabriel. I know it’s a little skewed cuz later in the game they had to start throwing the ball, but still nowhere near balanced win. I think we could all agree the Browns are significantly better at running the ball than they are at passing, but the two nicest passes I thought Gabriel threw all day. Fannon dropped it on a great corner. It was a great corner ball from Gabriel. And then Judy dropped the bang eight. They finally ran the bang eight times for and Jerry Judy alligator armed it. And it’s just they can’t get out of their own way. They can’t get out of their own way. I will say this though on some of those throws across the across the middle I thought some of those hospitals I thought some of those throws was they they were solid throws man but like his error for margin is so small that he is going to get one of them wide receivers killed throwing across that almost killed so it’s like like you said he played great like you said they’re hospital balls and to the point like you make some good throws the balls are dropped and then you finally get Jerry Judy running wide open in the end zone and then you make horrible ass throw so it It’s it’s one thing after another, man. Can’t get out their own way. Can’t get out their own way no matter what they do. And to your point, man, the NFL average coming into this week, week six was 23.4. The Cleveland Browns after this game, coming into this week, the Browns was averaging 14.6. After this game, I’m pretty sure that average is dipped lower than what the average was in 2017 when we went 016. Yeah, it’s got to be close. That that’s something to think about right now. It it hurts because you know you watch these games and the Steelers didn’t Steelers weren’t they weren’t that good. They ain’t they a they they they actually like like they ain’t even really like that really like this is not like I there’s two weeks in a row. Vikings all right y’all win the game. Y’all not going to compete for nothing. Steelers cool. Y’all not going to compete for nothing like that. Like you guys might make the playoffs but it’s an early out. So my thing is I’m looking at it from a perspective of if you could have just put some competent drives together. The fact that Quinn Sean Jkins this is this is the encompass all-encompassing part that I tell you about Kevin Sansky all the time. You get a pass interference. You got the ball on the on the five yd line. Where was he? 10 is sitting on the sideline. It better it better come out that he was hurt by the way. That’s inexcusable. He was riding back in on the next drive. So it’s inexcusable. And you know what though? See I got the receipts. The receipt say that he was doing this with Kareem Hunt and Nick Chub. He was He would have Kareem Hunt and Nick Chub couldn’t be in the backfield together. I can’t figure it out. Hey. Hey. Your boy Nick Chub will have 110 yards on 12 carries. They like, “Ah, we going to cut him off at 16. We trying to keep him safe.” How you going to keep him safe? He had two knee injuries. So, you know what’s crazy? Maybe the best thing that happened to the Browns today was that something stupid happened to a team that wasn’t Cleveland. that historically has always had. Did you hear what happened to Anthony Richardson? No. He was warming up with a resistance band before the game. This is serious. I I just saw the tweet. It snapped. It broke his orbital bone. Wow. The Colts and the Colts won today, right? The Colts won. We checked that. I’m pretty sure they end up being the Cardinals. Their backup quarterback’s going to be out for four to six weeks now with the broken orbital bone from stretching pregame. That happens to the Browns. The Browns avoided the dumb thing happening and they still gave us nothing good to talk about. I’m trying to think of something. But like, all right, let’s go. Usually, it’s the defense. I didn’t think the defense played great today. They played fine, but it was They did a great job of neutralizing Miles Garrett. Miles Garrett was non-existent this entire game. Tyson Campbell made a couple nice plays and got burned a couple times. They were attacking him one-on-one. He was shadowing DK. We were talking about that earlier in the afternoon. I think that’s all he knew. You know what though? I just about want to say that’s a tough situation for him to be in cuz he tough he just got here. The only thing he does know right now is manto man covered cover manto man. Yeah. Tough guy to cover manto man. He he made some plays early on but eventually DK Maf got the best of him. Yeah. It’s it’s like again you put yourself in a situation where Greg Schwarz talked about it. Um excuse me Jim Schwarz talked about it. Um Jim Schwarz is like you get rid of my starting corner in the middle of the week. What are you supposed to do? What are you supposed to do? He don’t know any other coverages. So, it’s not like, you know, he has to play man coverage and DK Metave, they did a good job of spamming DK DK Metaf. There’s like nobody else is getting the ball. We know they got Tyson Campbell over here. He just got here. We going up top to him early and often. And that’s what they did. Man, I’m I’m getting incredibly uh worried that this defense knows how bad the offense is and knows it essentially has to play a perfect perfect game start to finish like they did against Green Bay to have any chance of coming out with a win. And week after week, we’ve you’ve been there in that situation, Earl. You’ve been there maybe not in sports, but where you’re carrying all the weight and eventually you’re just like, I ain’t going to lie, screw it. Like yeah, eventually it becomes too much. Eventually becomes overwhelming. See, like we we could talk about the psyche of being mentally tough and being locked in all day, every day, but we still are human beings and eventually like losing breaks you. Failure breaks you eventually. You know that that is uh that is a negative energy type of vibe. And there is nothing about the Cleveland Browns right now that gives off positive vibes. That’s just the reality we are going through right now sitting here fishing from anything from this game that looks like a positive. Anything. Anything. Andre Schmidt made three field goals. There is there it is. Andre Smith to Andre. Hey to Andre. To Andre for three field goals. And I seen uh Dylan Gabriel damn near rip Patrick Queen’s helmet off. I thought that was dope, too. He got a standing ovation here. Shout out to him for that one. Um Yeah. Listen, you know what happens is, you know, I I always tell the story. I played on a I went from a a team that was on the rise, won eight games, and then the next year the coaching staff left and we won one game. And what starts to happen is people start to make business decisions. People start to show up a little bit later during training, right? People instead of putting them four hours in on on extra stuff like your body or 4 hours studying game tape, you doing two. Then it’s like, okay, you you you talk, you chat, you getting together with your teammates outside of it, just talk about the game plan for this week. You’re like, nah, dog, I’m cooling. I’m about to go play Madden. Like, you get that type of stuff because you you feel like, and this is the thing I want to get with people, too. And I know we’ll talk about it on UCSS. Everybody say, “Listen, y’all better not half step tomorrow.” I said, “I got you. Don’t worry about it.” But when you talking about human nature, those players are looking at their coaching staff and the coaching staff is not above reproach. They have to do their part. Your part is to put people in a position to win football games. this nonsense about how there’s some mastermind Wizard of Ozes. We gonna make an evaluation and what they see. Bro, you’re four and 24. I don’t know. Nobody could be four and 24 at anything and keep a job. I don’t know. I listen, no disrespect. I ain’t in a chat group, bro. I’m not in the text group. I don’t know where you’re getting your information from, but bro, it’s not going to work. You can’t keep taking these charges in the paints for Kevin. It’s not going to work. No, it’s not going to work. any other situation, any any I don’t know a coach. I don’t get it. Think about it. The Cleveland Browns had real expectations last year and and the bottom fell out. We went three games, right? I don’t know any coach who can survive multiple seasons of the bottom falling out. You know what I mean? Like this has been the model of inconsistency from the very beginning. It’s not even like this man has had backto-back winning seasons during his entire team. Up down. This is the the truthy true epitome of what a roller coaster ride is. That is what the Stfasi era has been with the Cleveland Browns. It had I just realized that is we got our guy Zach here who’s taking P. This could be the most mad looking postgame promotion. We have to like fake some smiles. So we’re we’re going to fake some smiles for listen. We’re we’re going to smile by doing this. Ready? Shout out to Jason and Roman open the doors to us. Shout out to everyone we met and I I forget I don’t know everyone’s name but everyone who came out here from our guys in the back corner to our guys standing over here watching. We love y’all. Seriously, we love y’all. We We may give y’all crap sometimes cuz it’s it’s a give and take. We like to include you as part of the show, but we really do appreciate each and every one of y’all for coming out and uh making this event work and hopefully we can do some more of these moving forward. Back to the depressing stuff. Back to the lesson at hand. Uh no uh you know uh let’s let’s let’s pivot a little bit here. Um, let’s get to the elephant in the room. How long How long this going to last? Because the conversation going or Stfansky. Well, what you want to do first? Let’s do Gabriel cuz let’s We didn’t uh we didn’t really talk about how we thought Gabriel played in totality yet. You know what’s so crazy about this? When Dylan Gabriel, he is the greatest quarterback in the world throwing out routes. If it’s a 5 10 yard out, he is cold. He got it. He He one of them. You catch that. But he has some deficiencies. it when he’s searching for passes over the middle, you can tell when that pressure gets to him, he tends to sail. And we talked about, we was at training camp, we kind of saw those. And the most frustrating part about it is even when he battled, he got sacked a bunch of times. Even when he battled and found time to throw the ball and he put it on people, they dropped the rod. So, it’s so difficult. I mean, to me, like I’ve said, he is a like McNugget say, I think Dylan Gabriel will be a serviceable backup in this league for many years to come. He’s he can learn the playbook, but he just has deficiencies in his game that limit his ability to push the ball downfield. Listen, I was very very interested to see how he would play once a coach had a week of film on him. And you know, when I think about Dylan Gabriel, it’s like it’s two sides to the coin with this. On one side, man, nobody around him is really doing him no favors at all. And then on the other side of the coin, he does have limitations and he does have deficiencies. And we all talked about last week on this postgame show that they will be sitting on that out route. He didn’t end up this game with no turnovers, but there was about three passes that should have been intercepted. And so when you when you just think about him and his situation, it looked worse after a week of film. And I get it, it was penalties, it was drop passes, but man, it was a lot of throws that was airmilled. I did think he did a a pretty good job of taking what the defense gave him. Uh the defense played a lot of zone. Lot of zone was out there today. It was a lot of curl routes, a lot of drags. And so I told you all when we was watching the game, it was almost like they was giving the Cleveland Browns anything that was between three and eight yards. They said take it. You could take that, you can have that. But they set on everything deep and because of his limitations, it was tough. And then when he actually broke through and was able to make some plays, the ball was dropped. Yeah. So it it sucks. It just seems like nobody is playing complimentary football. nobody is doing uh anybody any favors and the common denominator is gonna fall on Kevin Stfansky because yeah I we we might not we might talk about Dylan Gabriel and his deficiencies and and the things that he can’t overcome but at the end of the day this dude threw for a lot of touchdowns and a lot of yards in college had a high completion percentage in college. So his height though it’s a though it’s a issue certain coaches around him throughout his playing career have found ways to put him in positions to have success and Drew Brees are short like there have been shorter quarterbacks that have had success. Exactly like at the end of the day whether you a Dylan guy Shador guy or a guy that’s in the draft coming up Stfansky is not doing anything to put the players on the on his team in position to have success based on what they do well. You want every quarterback to be 66 65 right? Not every quarterback 6’5. That ain’t the break. It’s not. And there have been guys that have overcome the lack of height and had successful careers. Look at Baker right now. I mean, Baker is not a giant. I just go back to this with Gabriel. I was telling our guys over at that table over there. Right now, the quarterback’s not good enough. The coaching is not good enough. The receivers aren’t good enough. And the offensive line’s not good enough. And when you have that culmination all at once, you know what? You get an offense that can’t score a touchdown. You have the worst offense in football, G. And I think it falls on everybody. I don’t think you can pinpoint one and say the reason this offense is that bad is specifically because of X because they all suck right now. Yeah. It’s um that that’s why and and this is not an excuse like the the excuse of they playing like I don’t the well we knew they would be bad so why we mad? That’s like I don’t get it man. Everybody got everybody got if you got kids right? If if your kid don’t do no homework, right, and then you know he’s gonna get a bad grade on the test. He go to the test and get an F and then you say, you know, it’s okay. We knew you was going to do bad anyway. No, that ain’t happening. That’s not happening. Like you’re like, no, you can’t just put that on the field and put that on tape and then be like, well, we thought this was going to happen. Nah, that’s not that’s not a situation, by the way. And what we going to do is here here’s here’s a applesto apple uh situation. You got Joe Flacco playing on TV today. Right. Right. Right now, he’s just about to get his first possession because Jordan Love just threw an interception. You got Joe Flacco, right? You got Joseph Flaco playing for the Bengals. If he comes out here and looks good, I I I get that he has more multiple great receivers. I understand that that’s what it is. But let me tell you something right now. If he comes out here and looks good and he’s throwing the ball downfield and he looks like he ain’t got handcuffs on him cuz he look like he had handcuffs here. He’s throwing the ball downfield. He going to throw that thing down. It’s going to be a 10 yard sack or a 25 yard ball. Like there’s no in between what’s happening here. It’s like different quarterback. Same old same old. Man, at the end of the day, it’s the fansky. It’s this offense. It’s the It’s the scheme. It’s the play calling. Like what he did on the goal line today. It’s a microcos. I cannot believe what I saw. Everybody in the world is waiting on Quinn Sean Juckkins to get at least one attempt. One touch. Were you on when what was we on the one or the two yard line? Two. It’s not like he’s even in the game to be a decoy, which I don’t like anyway, but at least if he’s in the game, it’s like, all right, Joy Judkins is in. The defense assumes you’re going to give the ball to your best player and then you find a way to get Harold Fan in the Rock. He wasn’t even in the game. Every week, man, we leave with way more questions than anything that we have answered. I said I said this on two post games, two postgame shows ago. We ran the flex in high school cuz we sucked. Y’all remember this? And I was thinking more about this. Unless you have LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosch, right, and team USA, do you know what’s never gonna be a good offense? The flex. So, unless somehow in one off season the Browns find their quarterback, an entire new offensive line, and at least three comparable receivers to make whatever they’re running schematically and systematically, I don’t think it’s going to matter because we’ve seen bits and pieces change each and every year, but the results for the most part have been essentially the same. No, you’re right about that. I would like to I would like y’all to know I can’t see a chat. I can’t see it. Whatever it is, but here’s my question that I got for everybody. Answer you mind it. So, my thing is this. Theoretically, if you do say, “All right, well, we need another quarterback. These two quarterbacks ain’t it.” whatever the case may be. What makes you think that you draft a quarterback and you put them in this exact same system with this offensive line and these receivers and this playbook and expect that they’re going to be magically great. I’m it’s just not going to be. And here’s the thing. If you Shador Sanders and you sitting back and you’re the backup quarterback, you got to be at home on your tablet, your iPad trying to figure out something, a plan of action because you got the same offensive line, the same restrictions that that Dylan Gabriel going to have. And if if you get into this football game, my thing is what is going to be different? What will change from this year to next year if they feel like this is this is the person for the job? Yeah, that’s a million-dollar question because I mean even from this week to next week, hypothetically, if Shador Sanders got the opportunity to play next week, can we really say that we going to see anything different from what we’ve seen already? Kevin, it’s we’ve already gone through eight quarterbacks in the last three years in the last one season and it was the same stuff. It was the same old stuff. It it just seems like it’s it’s it’s regressing if we’re being honest. It is getting worse and worse by the week. The only thing that’s changed I just as you said that I was thinking was when Flaco came in in 23. Yes. And they started utilizing more downfield play action passing. And I think that’s just because Kevin inherently trusted Flacco to run that and execute that. That’s the only time really in at least since I’ve been here. I can only go back to my first season here which is 22. So I don’t know the 21 and 20. But it was almost like this McNuggets that’s house money. He came in off the couch. Like they had already went through four or five quarterbacks. Like he didn’t expect him to come in and spark. He’s like and he found lightning in a bottle. It’s like how it works. Let’s do it again. Throw it down field. the only times the fans ever spammed anything in his life. That’s it. And it we haven’t seen we haven’t seen that since. Now listen, the most the most damning part about this thing is now we did see a couple of quarterbacks throw for multiple 300 yard games. It was Jameus Winston, but that was not you calling the plays. It was who? It was Ken Dorsey. It was Ken Dorsey, who’s the pass game coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys right now. And and we thought that was terrible. And we So my thing is, yeah, he had deficiencies in that playbook, but at least you saw somebody throwing the ball downfield. It could be a pick. Yeah, but it was downfield. It was at least fun. And to me, I think this is the point of my overall frustration with the Browns. We’ll get to super chats in a second. We appreciate everyone who sends in super chats, by the way. Really do appreciate you guys. If you’re bad, it’s one thing if you’re bad, right? There are bad football teams all across the league. Half the league doesn’t make the playoffs. More than half the league doesn’t make the playoffs. expectations for the Browns this year, their win loss total was at five and a half. We knew they weren’t going to be great, but this is just bad football to watch and there’s nothing that’s like, “Hey, we’re clinging to Even when Jamus was in last year, we knew they were bad.” It’s like, what’s Jamus going to do this time? He might throw for three this week. He might he might throw for five touchdowns and picks, right, and 500 yards. Like it there was the unknown aspect to it. And I feel like when we go into Browns games or I told you when it was three nothing. I said three nothing feels like 30 nothing. So I don’t have any faith in this team to get a field. Now they got Yes, they did in theory prove me wrong. But we’re talking about nine points, guys. Nine points against the defense that was 29th in the league against the run that was giving up 24 and a half points per game going into this. I understand they were coming off the bite. I know the Browns travel back from London, but I don’t give a rat’s ass. Like excuses be damned. They have to be better and week after week they’re simply not getting better. It’s nine points, man. Nine points. Bull points. I think Bull had more wings today than the Browns score points. It was crazy. Bull look, this is wild work. Like he’s Bull went home and had more confidence, not even confidence, more energy level to go watch Joe Flacco, who we see be bad here. He’s like, “Hey, let’s go see what Joe’s doing.” This is I mean, it’s it’s high school. It it just simply is not sophisticated enough. It’s just not. Uh we got Ant on the super chats today. He’s the only one in front of a computer. So Ant, you’re going to read the super chats and we’re going to do a quick reaction to each one real quick. Oh boy, I pull pulled this uh short straw here. All right, first one from Cleveland Bearcat. I’m rooting for a one and 16. So everybody gets fired. If they go one and 16 and they keep everybody n I will uh Earl shar Earl shade his locks. Listen, they going to have to they going to have to they got to sit me they got to sit me on the floor Indian style and you see uss I will go on a boycott. We will one and 16. No, if we go one and they can’t they can’t they can’t we go one and 16 and everybody keep their job. And my is a retired Cleveland uh police detective. We going to have to pull her up out of retirement and we planting evidence. Yeah, we doing something that we have to get the sabotage. That’s the only All right. From Behas guys, Nasty Stfansky, PJ Walker or Gabriel the same offense as Run? Same thing. Same thing. It’s the same thing. All right. From the Goober UCSS came out and showed out. Keep the real alive for us Browns fans. We need the real talk. We met We met the Goober tonight. He was here. Shout out to the goober for coming out this week. We pulled up, man. Hey, listen. I Listen, it was a nasty work game, but I really enjoyed myself. I don’t like if I don’t think about the game, I really had fun. I literally think this this felt like a family reunion. This was the most fun nine-point loss I’ve ever seen in a history, man. Was it only a nine-point loss? No, but they scored nine points in a loss. Yeah. So, yeah. Same thing. All right. Next. Paul, the true believer. Brownie the Elf is not looking so good at QB today. Nope. Steve S. I’m gonna stay away from that one. Steve S. Are we over the Judy experiment yet? Yes. Been over. I was wrong about him. How many How many catches did he finish with? I will tell you. Hold on. Cuz I set the over under for uh Jerry Judy had 13 targets for five catches, 43 yards. His longest catch was 12 yards. Oh my god. And he hit it. It was a couple three or four. The bang eight’s the worst one. He had three drops at minimum early early minimum. In comparison, Fannon had 10 targets and seven catches. He only dropped the one. Well, they weren’t all drops for Judy, but it was not good enough. No good enough. Moving on. Cody Monik fire Kevin Sfansky. Let Schwarz audition for head coach. Schwarz will not be the head coach if they fire. Remember they remember they did the same thing with Greg Williams. They just decided Greg Williams was not as Jim Schwarz will not be the head coach. Jim Schwarz I think Jim Schwarz is like one of them dudes. He’s like a pirate. He does not report to anybody. No. Like he like he if he was a pirate captain, he would rob his own ships. Be like, “But we but we robbed but we robbed them together. You just robbed me.” I got you. All right. The goober 216 again says, “You guys tricked us. I thought you guys were all short.” But if you thought G was short, you’re just wrong. It So it messes people up. I told them to put me It makes you feel sorry for me. So my arguments go over better. So to everybody, I’m in the shortest chair on the on the set. So when I pull up the same size, I’m small chairs. They really they’re going to they’re literally for the exact same channel. My legs is like six inches shorter than Bulls and Jasons. I I tell you G’s giant. I mean G play division one defensive giant. They’d be like, “Hold on. You look like G Bush and your jersey say G Bush, but duh. Yeah, you kind of big. G’s a giant.” Yeah, I’m kind of Yeah. Look, Steve. Great shot. Oh, you listen look at that one. Look at Look at Look at the height on the back of that. It It’s literally the exact same. Minimoski. Look how small my cushions is. I’ll tell you what, G. You show up on time, we’ll put you in the taller chair. How about that? All right. Ready, guys? Power. Steelers dropped five picks today. Seven picks. They could have had 10 picks today. Uh, I apologize. I cannot see this person’s full name. It just says, “This is calm. Uh, the offense has no identity. They abandon the run in the second quarter. The playmakers can’t catch. The line can’t pass block.” Like seriously, the Sfansky experiment is over. Yeah, I think people’s coming around to it. It’s going to be harder and harder week by week. I I’m not taking no charge for Kevin. I’m not doing it. It’s It’s like where’s Waldo? The hardest thing in in football right now is where’s the good thing about the Browns offense? And we tried. You know, McNuggets usually comes on. He starts every post game. I had nothing today. I had nothing. Guys, let’s get to the positives. I had nothing. We had nothing. I need a positive. Can you got a positive? No interceptions. Yeah. No interceptions. Not throwing interceptions. 52 throws, no interceptions. There you go. There. There’s your positive. All right. H&T63 reload last week’s press conference with Kevin. Yeah, it’s already on repeat. Yep. D4L Josh says Kevin’s playbook will open up with the dome. That was a bar. That was a bar. T-shirt. That was retractable window and retractable offense. They need a t-shirt. Uh Aries says, “Gabriel is not good. His height clearly matters and he throws hospital balls. threw a couple today. It’s going to be some dudes in a hot tub. Yeah, shout out to Sly, by the way, for 25 months of membership. Sly. Sly. I’m starting to think that because we have Kevin Stfansky, we missed out on two top 10 QBs on this team, four and six. Starting to think Kevin held them back. Starting it. It’s hard to argue. It’s very hard to argue against any of it now. It whether you like it or not, it’s hard to argue against any of it. And let me tell you, I listen, Kevin Savansky is a good dude. I’m not he his I’m not attacking his character. I told people if he was like my niece’s fifth grade teacher or third grade teacher, kindergarten, I love him. Like, yo, you listen to Mr. Stfansky. I don’t know about all that cuz if they miss homework assignments, all Kevin to say is you can put that on me. I don’t know about all that. No, I don’t know about all that. All right, next one. All right. Vernell Jackson says, “Guys, we’re open. He’s just at too short to see them.” Yes, they had some drops, but he’s late with every throw. He’s bad in the red zone. I tell talk about Gabriel here. It wasn’t good today. There’s there’s no Yeah, it’s um it’s rough. I appreciate you coming out. Thank you, man. Thank you. Walking out. See you later. Terrell says, “I honestly don’t want Shadore to have to play in this offense. It’s so bad. It’s so bad. It makes me rethink if Deshun Watson was actually watched.” You know what? You You want No, no, no. Deshawn did throw the ball backwards. Hey, you know what? Go to the next. You know what? Let’s go to the next the boy. We was in here today. Some people was like, “Hey, G Bush, I’m rethinking their whole life.” I’m like, you I’m you about to go I’m about to go back to school. This is what the Browns do to people. I just I just can’t have people saying it’s a travesty that they’re holding Shador back and then say, “I don’t want him to play.” Hey, no, no, no, no. He going to have to play. We got He’s going to play. And And by the way, he’s going to chuck it deep. He going to put the Hey, he going to put it up in the air. All right, guys. Shack with no bricks says, “Who are we firing?” Uh, well, McNuggets, here’s the thing. Adam the Bull started it. You know, I’m the Duke and knee jerk. They usually try to put these things on my CD, my mix CD. But Adam the Bull was the first person that started talking about coaches. So, he said, uh, Flores is his is his top candidate. And I say, dang, we five, six week in. There there’s no argument against it any like n if it’s like when Jason says, I wouldn’t, but I can’t defend him anymore. I I feel the same way. Like I I would, but I I don’t know what the argument to be made is to to keep him at this point. Now, mid-season, I don’t think there’s any advantage to doing it mid-season. No, I’m going to coach his way in or out. But at the end of the year, it’s time for some new blood in gym. Something blowing 247 says, “Gudge Matthysse should have been on at 1 p.m. today.” Judge Matthysse repeats. Y’all fire in the chat today. Yeah. Listen. Hey, hey, sir. Sir, sir, you need to stop lying. Judge Matthews, you can’t say that. You just heard the opening statement. Uh, next. Uh, uh, I’m not sure how to say this. Viva Hernando one, maybe. Uh, that was a tough watch. Only thing that could have been worse was O. Shanahan, McVey, and Ben Johnson. Kirk Davis says, “Breaking news, Tfansky has been fired.” Hey, Ben. Allegedly. He’s talking at the podium right now. So, Miss Bell70 says Stfansky is a joke. DG is not it. Okay. St. Steven Allen Spencer. I put $10 on the Browns to score at least one TD this game. Would have been better off donating it to the show. This team sucks and I’m ready to embrace the tank and possible fire sale. That’s tough. I had to do like minus 800. Like you you just That’s crazy. You’re asking one. It’s like saying, “Hey, uh, score 10 points, Cavs.” Like you got to get to 10 points today. It’s It’s almost like Can you imagine if that was the last leg of your parlay? The Cleveland Browns need to score seven points and that’s it. One touchdown. Yeah, that’s pushing. Yeah, this is common again. Why wasn’t Ward on Metaf like an athletic supporter? I I think they put Campbell on him just because they said, “You’re playing manto man.” Well, Campbell couldn’t do anything else. That was the only thing he could do. I actually don’t have an issue. I mean, he got burned a couple times. I thought he made a couple plays. I got no issue with this. It was one of those situations to where he had to play. What else do that was the only thing he could do? Uh blowing zod says gig new got cooked today and move. No I didn’t. Very first snap that Newsome took JSN 61 yard touchdown. They beat him deep. Oh listen. Hey he hit him. He hit him with that. What’s the name? I don’t know why he did the rest of the game but the very first snap turned into a 61 yard so it was one and one. So it was one for one. It doesn’t sound like either played particularly well today. Jacob Gordon the fans keep play calling. It’s like a it’s like a fart after Taco Bell. You can’t trust it. Teamu Pat Shurmer Barry one for six drafts fire them all. Schwarz taken over. Okay. Oh boy. Dr. Leiff if uh is is Deshun Watson really washed or has he’s been trying to steer a leaky ship. Coaching lack of pads catcher discipline. Kevin Stfansky is the voice in the helmet calling plays. I don’t trust him. Let me just say this for anyone who doesn’t think Dylan Gabriel’s arm is good enough. Deshawn Watson had the most shot arm I’ve ever seen last year. which I told you on the very first passing through there was no way. I just maybe it is partly because Kevin’s offense is atrocious. I saw him throw the football live. I throw throw the football on TV. I saw him throw the football backwards. Yeah. I I I think Deshawn is his own case of of you know you know is this is this is the thing that happens though man when you start losing like this is you start questioning reality. You start look you start to think like is this even me? Like did I see what I saw? Is we that bad? And you going and more and more this happens, you going to have more and more people that start to question, is he that bad? I’m telling you what’s going to happen. Vernell Jackson, guys. Oh, sorry. Earl, did you have something? No, go. Vernell Jackson, last 25 games, four and 21, still employed. Crazy work. Robert Baxter, six tries. Kevin has not won in Pittsburgh and he can’t. And Dylan can escape both is in both his reasons he needs to be fired. Kevin Stfansky is white Q Jackson from Blowins. Uh Shaq with no bricks 52 pass attempts again. Miss Bell says, “Tell Mary Kay it’s too late to brag up Shadore.” Vernell Jackson, have any of y’all ever caught a pass from a lefty? Ball spin’s totally different. This is why most of those reps were wasted. Staff did these rookies no favors. I’m calling BS on that. We’re both lefties here. Whether it’s whether it’s not that big of a deal. You had a whole week of practice. You’ve had two weeks of practice now with it. Wait, let me let me let me and I don’t want to prolong the death, but do you guys do you are you guys now thinking to yourself they should have just played Dylan Gabriel from Jump Street? Yes, probably. Yeah. And and I think Jason’s wrong about Kevin Stfansky take. I think his take on Joe Flacco had no business ever being here is 100% right. Yeah. I would have I would have started if you was going to do this, you wasted four, five, six weeks. You could have been having them repped up, repped down. Um, and it it kind of shows now. All right, guys. Boxing Logic says, “Dylan was passing out one-way tickets to Gabriel Hospital. Let Shador off the leash and he can spread the ball better and of height alone.” Okay. Uh, let it rock. Number eight, never played with a bad O line in college. Shaq with no bricks again says, “Why does it look like Ford had more carries than Judkins?” He it looked like it. I could have swore did that. I saw him more than I seen. Would you believe Ford only had two carries? That’s crazy. That’s crazy. 34 was on the field last. He He was on the field. Maybe it’s the third down. I need to ask Kevin what what happened like 12 carries for your best offensive player is crazy after he had killed like that in Minnesota against the Vikings. Couple more guys. All right. Ary says one thing about Shadore. He’s going to make it. He’s going to make plays 100 times sacks but he’s going to ball. Medic 51 says we’re seeing Kevin Stfansky is the common demon. Tick tick tick. Okay. Tick tick. And I just lost my spot here. So riff for me here guys. Here we go. Uh tick tick tick. Maybe we have to do a better way of organizing the super chats through YouTube because when one comes in late, it then reshuffle. Yeah. All right, guys. Lord of the Drip says, “Super computer.” Andrew Torres, “Do you think the Browns draft a wide receiver O lineman and see what Gabriel and Sanders do with better pieces instead of drafting another quarterback?” No, they’re going to take quarterback. I If here’s the thing, if they are here, I’m starting to question what they would do. What do you think they would do if they don’t have a coach? What would the coach do? The new coach do? New coach is going to want to take his quarterback. Yeah. It’s it just it’s how it’s how the NF I’m not saying it’s right. I’m just saying that that’s just Yeah, that’s like one of those things. Yeah. All right. Grand YouTube channel says Shador’s elite accuracy and touch will give him a chance to at least make some plays. Okay. Squizzer says Stfansky needs to go ASAP. The receivers’s coach needs to follow him. DG ball placement is dangerous and lucky no one else. Fell says. non-existent if the ball has to travel over 12 yards. Kirk Davis, Rams, Patriots, Saints, Eagles, Mangles, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, Kansas City, and the Giants. All teams that sucked and they got it right. Not the Browns. Resurrection. Uh, what excuse will Mary Kay have this week? Dom Pezy, zero picks because the Steelers dropped five of them. If Mike Tomlin has was this team’s coach, he still would find a way to win. This is common. Ned Flanders is a good dude. I wouldn’t pick him for a street fight. Set apart. Laz, who’s getting fired and who’s getting traded, I think. Well, no. I’ve been hearing Jok a lot. Yeah, a lot. Uh, Sheffer put out a whole list of trade candidates across the league. It was basically any veteran who doesn’t have guaranteed money after the season. It’s like as simple as that. All right, guys. Be more sadman said only if the Browns had a quarterback that could overcome the bad O. and uh Sherm Sfansky offense. Stfansky is Chris Kohl’s. Sansky is a solid coach. I do think some of his play calls are goofy. Judy is not the guy and I think we need to see Sanders soon. Adid is not it. Mr. Miami says, “Gee, open the barber shop. We need to talk. Can they have can they even be at the Dolphins next week?” Uh you’re going to have to have real Dolphins are a mess, too. You’re going to have to have real questions if if you if you don’t beat the Dolphins. I mean, because the dolphin, you got two are talking about I get to go home and see my wife and kids. It don’t even really matter. Um, Mike McDaniel’s getting fired. Yeah, he This is Yeah. Um, yeah, this is rough. All right. It’s your boy says they did a whole draft evaluation and had DG as the second best QB in the draft class behind. Leo King Jones, like I said, Dylan is a robot, no imagination. King Adam 12 says, “Fire me as a Cleveland Browns fan.” Kirk Davis says, “My wife mailed y’all a bracelet. Hopefully you all like them and bracelets. Yeah, I’ll check for them on Monday. Yeah, we we’ll check for those. Mr. I crap and shits. How many players are asking for trades now? DB Dog21, they knew this O line was shot in the off season. Dendrich Williams, how will Zach and Mary Kay try to defend this? WWE Desan, Zack hasn’t tried to defend anything has done. Yeah, Zack is Zach is the most honest person. Zack has defended little Actually, he don’t care nothing about none of it. Zack ain’t tripping on them. Yeah, Deshawn Watson is laughing at your haters. Let him laugh. Uh, Charles Thornton, I thought that said DG was a supercomputer. He must have forgot to upload the software. Uh, WA Yoshidos, watch when Sanders plays. Reese will get the book. Uh, Miss Bell says DG’s arm. You didn’t see him jump to throw the ball. And that’s the rest I’m going to read from that one. All right, that’s it, guys. Super chat’s done. Thank you’all for the super chats, man. We really appreciate those. We appreciate every person who came out. This was awesome. Shout out to Sweet Pork Wilsons. Again, if you guys haven’t been to Sweet Pork Wilson, I highly recommend checking out. You take that $10 you bet on the Browns and come get some wings. Yeah, delicious wings, delicious food, great people, too. More than anything else, great people. Uh, this was a success, guys. I think minus minus the fact the Browns suck. This was a success. And that’s going to do it. We’re back tomorrow normal time 11:01 on the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show channel for Earl Pearl. For G Bush, Anthony, I’m Mikey McNuggets. And the Browns are one and five. But we ate good today and we have good friends and great fans. That’s all that matters. See y’all later. Peace. [Music] I don’t need you. [Music]

The Cleveland Browns haven’t won a regular season game in Pittsburgh since Tim Couch was the QB in 2003. Can Dillon Gabriel snap the saddest streak in sports?

The Browns need to score more than 17 points to beat the Steelers, so how can Dillon Gabriel attack this defense to get to that plateau?

On the flipside, how can Myles Garrett & company stop Aaron Rodgers?

Which veteran on the Browns could be traded next?

Plus, Zac Jackson joins the show to talk Shedeur Sanders.
