  • Who's the Browns' best rookie so far? Why the deck is stacked against the Guardians

    Who's the Browns' best rookie so far? Why the deck is stacked against the Guardians
    Oct 22 2025
    Highlights: The Browns' upcoming game against the Patriots' strong run defense will be a crucial test of whether their run-heavy offense is a sustainable identity or a one-game anomaly. Despite a convincing win, there are questions about whether the win over the Dolphins was "just one game" and that the run-first formula is not a sustainable model for winning against a tough schedule. Fan frustration is directed at the front office, with GM Andrew Berry criticized for poor roster construction on the offensive line and at receiver, making it difficult to evaluate quarterback performance. Joe Flacco's resurgence with the Bengals is attributed to a superior supporting cast, highlighting how a quarterback's environment is critical to their success. Who's the Browns' best rookie so far? We rank the 2025 Browns rookie class. The 2024 NFL rookie class is proving to be historically productive, setting all-time records for scrimmage yards and touchdowns through the first seven weeks of a season. The Browns' offensive struggles are systemic, as a weak offensive line creates a chain reaction that limits the passing game and negatively impacts the production of players like receiver Jerry Jeudy. Numerous former Guardians players are finding significant postseason success with the Toronto Blue Jays, leading to mixed feelings and "what if" questions for Guardians fans. A stark financial divide in MLB makes it extremely difficult for small-market teams to win the World Series, as high-payroll teams can afford the power hitters crucial for playoff success. There is a noticeable lack of buzz for the upcoming Cavaliers season, and Terry says it's driven by a fan perception that the team has hit its ceiling after two consecutive second-round playoff exits. The Cavaliers' path to a deeper playoff run involves evolving their offense to handle pressure, increasing the pace of play, and using Donovan Mitchell more as a primary playmaker. Terry talks about his recent columns on visiting grave sites and how the topic has resonated with readers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Is Kevin Stefanski's job on the line? 1 move the Guardians should make ASAP

    Is Kevin Stefanski's job on the line? 1 move the Guardians should make ASAP
    Oct 14 2025
    Highlights: Terry shares a “moment of wisdom” about venting in emails: tone and humor are lost compared to spoken conversation. Discussion on Browns’ offensive struggles against the Steelers: 82 snaps, Quinshon Judkins only played 33 despite being top offensive weapon. Browns ran only 17 times for 65 yards, despite game being close early; heavy reliance on passing (27 passes vs. 11 runs in first three quarters). Missed opportunities: Judkins absent on key goal-line plays; lack of creativity like play-action fakes. Terry suggests Kevin Stefanski looks “shell-shocked” by offensive failures; quotes Stefanski: “Before you start winning, you’ve got to stop losing.” Offensive line woes highlighted: aging starters (Teller, Bitonio, Pocic, Conklin all 30+); poor Pro Football Focus grades (best was 64.7). Listener email proposes 2026 offseason rebuild: draft tackles, replace veterans,. Receiver issues: Jerry Jeudy drops (7 in 6 games) and costly penalties; Fannin also had key drops despite flashes of talent. Gabriel sacked six times, hit 16 times; Browns threw 58 times including sacks—offensive imbalance and protection failures. Debate on ownership accountability: email argues Haslams should sell; Terry counters owners rarely sell, especially after stadium deal. Terry plugs new book: Why Can’t This Team Find a Quarterback? covering Browns’ QB struggles since 1999 and ownership dynamics. Mike Tomlin’s reaction to Browns trading Joe Flacco to Bengals: “shocking”; Terry and David analyze implications and AFC North competitiveness. Browns’ strategy likened to Guardians’ “thread the needle” approach—trying to win while developing young players; trade rumors hinted. Positive draft notes: Judkins, Fannin, Schwesinger praised; Tyson Campbell trade seen as promising despite questionable usage vs. DK Metcalf. Special teams bright spot: rookie kicker Andre Szmyt solid after rough opener (3-for-3 in Pittsburgh). Guardians offseason priorities: extend José Ramírez again, pursue right-handed power bat, consider Stephen Kwan’s future contract. Cavs preview: season opens Oct. 22; focus on pace, bench depth, unlocking Mobley and Hunter; injury concerns for Garland and Lonzo Ball. Faith column reflections: Terry shares story on visiting graves and human moments in sports. And a closing email from a listener who says baseball isn't the only sport without a clock and with lots of drama. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
