Is Todd Monken setting the right tone in Browns training camp? 18.08.2026 33mBrowns training camp looks very different this year, with longer, more physical practices. We’ve seen a couple of fights and Tuesday’s practice was brought to an end by Monken after things got a little too physical. Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe recapped Day 15 of training camp on the Orange and Brown Talk podcast, and they started with a series of incidents that caused Monken to end practice. Then they talked about whether this approach by Monken is a good or bad thing for the Browns and the fine line they are walking as they head into a joint practice with the Bills. Then they turn to the return of Mike Hall Jr. and how important this season is for third-year defensive tackle. Lastly, they talk about what happened with Za’Darius Smith, who signed with the Falcons on Tuesday after he was supposed to reunite with the Browns.

Is Deshaun Watson the clear favorite to start for the Browns? + Za'Darius Smith visits Atlanta 17.08.2026 36mThe Browns head into a very important week of training camp this week, with four practices, including a joint practice with the Bills on Thursday. It means the quarterback battle shifts into high gear, with Shedeur Sanders slated to start Saturday’s preseason game against Buffalo. Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe talked about the week ahead on the latest Orange and Brown Talk podcast, but first they get into the weird Za’Darius Smith situation. He was expected to sign with the Browns but visited the Falcons on Monday. What’s happening there? Then they turn their attention to quarterbacks and whether Watson has clearly established himself as the frontrunner in the competition. They point to the signs as to why that could be the case and then talk about why Todd Monken hasn’t just named him the starter yet. Is there a benefit to Sanders still getting first-team reps? Is there something else going on?

Deshaun Watson will start the first preseason game; does he have the inside track to win the job? 13.08.2026 32mBrowns head coach Todd Monken has chosen Deshaun Watson as his starter for the preseason opener in Chicago.
