Andrew Berry Looks Like a General Manager in Control

The biggest takeaway from the show centered on Andrew Berry. Brad argued this was the most relaxed, confident, and comfortable Berry has looked since becoming Browns general manager. After navigating the fallout from the Deshaun Watson trade, extending both Denzel Ward and Grant Delpit, and putting together consecutive strong drafts, Berry appears to have regained organizational stability and the trust of ownership.

The discussion focused on whether Berry has somehow survived what many consider the worst trade in NFL history and positioned the franchise for another competitive window.

Ward and Delpit Extensions Signal the Browns Intend to Compete

Rather than beginning a full rebuild following the Myles Garrett trade, the Browns doubled down on keeping veteran leaders in place.

Brad and Casey viewed the extensions for Denzel Ward and Grant Delpit as evidence the organization believes its timeline to contend is much closer than many outside observers believe. The moves also provide stability for first-year head coach Todd Monken, making it far less likely the Browns would quickly hit another reset button.

Todd Monken Benefits From Organizational Commitment

The hosts discussed how the veteran extensions also benefit Todd Monken.

Instead of coaching a roster that could have been stripped down following Garrett’s departure, Monken now has proven veterans around whom he can build the culture while developing the team’s young quarterback. The expectation remains progress and development in Year One rather than immediate championship contention.

Quarterback Competition Continues

The Browns continued rotating quarterbacks with the first-team offense.

Shedeur Sanders received his first opportunity with the starters while Deshaun Watson continued to struggle according to multiple practice reports discussed during the show.

Neither quarterback separated himself, but Brad emphasized that the defense should be expected to dominate this early in camp. The belief remains that Sanders has an opportunity to earn the job as practices become more physical and preseason games begin.

The hosts also discussed Deion Sanders attending practice and whether his presence this early in Shedeur’s development was beneficial or simply added unnecessary attention.

Browns Defense Ahead of the Offense

One consistent theme from training camp was that Mike Rutenberg’s defense is already playing at a high level.

Grant Delpit spoke about the new defensive system emphasizing disguises, creativity, and more exotic coverages—something Brad has been advocating for since the coaching change.

Both hosts agreed the Browns must generate confusion on the back end now that Myles Garrett is no longer dictating offenses by himself.

Jadeveon Clowney Reunion?

News surfaced that Jadeveon Clowney visited the Browns.

While both acknowledged Cleveland still needs veteran edge depth, they questioned whether Clowney is the right fit considering how his first tenure ended. They discussed whether Derek Barnett might make more sense while recognizing Monken’s previous relationship with Clowney in Baltimore could influence the decision.

Which Browns Must Step Up?

Brad posed an interesting question:

Which five non-quarterbacks have to play at a high level for Cleveland to be successful?

The discussion centered around players like:

• Quinshon Judkins

• Mason Graham

• Jared Verse

• Spencer Fano

• Denzel Boston

• Carson Schwesinger

• Denzel Ward

Ultimately, both agreed Cleveland’s young core must develop quickly if the Browns are going to outperform expectations.

Offensive Line Development

The hosts discussed Spencer Fano’s development while also acknowledging that Dawand Jones may begin camp ahead of him simply because of experience.

They believe the coaching staff is making Fano earn the job rather than handing it to him immediately.

Joint Practices and Injury Concerns

Brad and Casey expressed disappointment the Browns will only have one joint practice with Buffalo after discussions with Chicago fell through.

The conversation also shifted to the growing number of training camp injuries around the league and once again raised concerns about artificial turf.

Browns Need Grass at the New Stadium

The show concluded with another discussion about the Browns’ future stadium surface.

Brad argued Cleveland should do everything possible to install natural grass at the Brook Park stadium, even if it requires investing in the same tray or lighting technology being used for FIFA World Cup venues. Both hosts believe player safety should make natural grass a priority moving forward.

Position Battles

Nickel Cornerback

One of the most intriguing competitions entering camp takes place at nickel corner, where Myles Harden, Myles Bryant, Damari Mathis and Michael Coates Jr. will battle for one of the most important positions in Mike Rutenberg’s defense. Brad and Casey compare each player’s strengths while discussing whether experience or upside ultimately wins out and how the defensive scheme could impact the competition.

Outside Cornerback Depth

While Denzel Ward and Tyson Campbell headline the position, the battle behind them remains wide open. The discussion focuses on Damarri Mathis, D’Angelo Ross, Trey Avery and several young defensive backs competing for valuable depth roles, while also examining whether Andrew Berry could look outside the organization following final roster cuts.

Offensive Line

The interior offensive line remains one of the biggest storylines entering camp.

Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, Donovan McMillon, Daniel Thomas and Zion Washington are all discussed as the Browns continue building a versatile secondary capable of fitting Mike Rutenberg’s defensive philosophy.

Behind Malik Collins, Mason Graham and Mike Hall Jr., several defensive tackles are competing to round out the rotation. Brad and Casey discuss the depth battle while examining how injuries and preseason performances could shape one of the Browns’ deepest position groups.
