Analysis on Mike Rutenberg Hire, and Position Review and Look Ahead: Tight End

On your Tuesday edition of Browns Film Breakdown, Jake and Brad break down the somewhat surprising hire of Mike Rutenberg as defensive coordinator. Some details on why the move makes more sense than it first appeared once you dig deeper into Rutenberg’s background. This includes some Wide-9 history, why coverage types matter, and and what personnel and schematic changes may be on the horizon. Then they continue the offseason position review series by turning their attention to the tight end room, asking the biggest questions about the future of the position under Todd Monken as only Harold Fannin Jr. is set to mean something to the future but they spend time on how special his rookie season was. Once again they focus on three review subjects: Grade each player’s performance from 2025 with context. Focus growth areas for the next season. Which player(s) from the position excites you most? Then they close with two burning questions looking ahead: Do they seriously chase personnel to be in “12” often in 2026? Which names in free agency are attractive at the right price point? They will get to each position room in the weeks ahead as we start planning for Free Agency and more.

My thoughts

3d ago

Anonymous#216

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, all the best to Jake & Brad - Cheers & go Browns.
Best Browns podcast hands down

Always Barking

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.

Appreciate Jake’s thoroughness and well-presented and “non-hot-take”approach.
