    S9E18 - Legal Tampering Begins

    The Cleveland Browns are wasting no time fixing their biggest problem from last season: the offensive line. In this episode of The Dawgland Podcast, Anthony Jokey and Jackson McCurry break down the Browns' early moves during the NFL legal tampering period, including the signing of Zion Johnson, the trade for Titus Howard, and bringing back Teven Jenkins. The Browns are clearly following a blueprint to rebuild the trenches — but is it enough? We also discuss the signing of Quincy Williams, the departure of Devin Bush, the future of Joe Bitonio, and whether the Browns could make another big move before the NFL Draft. Plus, we dive into potential draft strategy at pick #6, including whether a game-changing player like Caleb Downs could be in play. If you're a Browns fan trying to make sense of free agency, this is the episode you don't want to miss. ⏱️ Timestamps / Chapters 0:00 Welcome to The Dawgland Podcast0:19 Browns Free Agency Overview1:04 Browns Sign Zion Johnson Reaction3:16 Teven Jenkins Returns5:59 Browns Trade for Titus Howard8:29 Browns Rebuilding the Offensive Line12:16 Quincy Williams Signing Breakdown15:10 Defensive Moves + Ronnie Hickman Tender15:36 Deshaun Watson Contract Restructure16:23 Free Agency Targets Still Available18:13 Browns Cornerback Depth Concerns21:07 Draft Strategy Discussion23:09 Safety Depth & Grant Delpit Situation23:41 Could Caleb Downs Be the Pick at #6?25:55 Caleb Downs Versatility Breakdown27:01 Final Thoughts + Follow The Show

    S9E17 - Browns Hire Todd Monken as Head Coach

    The Cleveland Browns finally have a new head coach — and it’s Todd Monken. Not the name most fans expected. Maybe not the name many wanted. But here we are. In this episode of The Dawgland Podcast, Anthony Joki and Jackson McCurry break down how the Browns arrived at this decision, why the coaching search felt chaotic, and what Monken’s background could mean for Cleveland’s offense moving forward. We dive into Jimmy Haslam’s fingerprints on the process, the fallout with Jim Schwartz, Monken’s adaptability across college and the NFL, and whether this hire can actually stabilize a franchise desperate for consistency. Is this another Browns misstep — or a sneaky smart move that finally fixes the offense? Why the Browns’ coaching search felt “off” from the start Jimmy Haslam’s influence vs. Andrew Berry’s vision What happened with Jim Schwartz — and why it matters Todd Monken’s coaching journey (Georgia, Tampa, Baltimore, Cleveland) Monken’s adaptability with different QB styles What this means for the Browns’ run game and young RBs Wide receiver priorities in the draft and free agency Potential coaching staff names to watch Why this hire could quietly fix Cleveland’s offense

    S9E16 - Browns Coaching Search Continues

    The Cleveland Browns head coaching search is heating up, and the finalists are starting to take shape. On today’s episode of The Dawgland Podcast, Anthony Joki and Jackson McCurry break down the Browns’ second-round head coaching interviews, including Jim Schwartz, Grant Udinski, Nate Scheelhaase, and Todd Monken. We debate whether Cleveland should prioritize continuity and accountability with Schwartz, or swing big on a young offensive mind to finally stabilize the quarterback position. We also dig into staff-building concerns, offensive play-calling responsibilities, and how the Browns’ uncertain QB situation could impact their final decision. If you’re a Browns fan trying to make sense of the process, the patience required, and what direction this franchise should take—this episode is for you. Go Browns. Jim Schwartz’s case for continuity and accountability Why Schwartz feels like a risky “one-and-done” hire Grant Udinski’s meteoric rise and upside as a head coach Can a 30-year-old first-time HC succeed in Cleveland? Rams passing-game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase and the patience factor Todd Monken’s role: head coach or OC option? Browns quarterback uncertainty and its impact on the coaching search Should Cleveland roll with Shedeur Sanders or add veteran competition?

    S9E13 - Browns Collapse vs Jets: Special Teams Disaster

    The Cleveland Browns fall to 2-7 after an embarrassing 27-20 loss to the New York Jets — a game defined by blown special teams coverage, offensive inconsistency, and rising frustration within the locker room. Anthony Joki and Jackson McCurry break down how the Browns managed to lose despite holding the Jets under 175 total yards, why Bubba Ventrone’s unit continues to implode, and whether Kevin Stefanski is losing control of this team. They also debate if it’s time to see Shedeur Sanders take over at quarterback after another poor showing from Dillon Gabriel — and what the rest of the season means for the Browns’ future. Key Talking Points: Another Browns loss after the bye week — what went wrong vs the Jets Bubba Ventrone’s special teams meltdown (two return TDs allowed) Dillon Gabriel’s accuracy struggles and what’s next at QB Should Shedeur Sanders get the start moving forward?
