The Dawgs - A Cleveland Browns Podcast

What's up, Browns fans! DawgsByNature.com staff writer Barry Shuck joins us LIVE in-studio to discuss all things Browns. Barry gives us his keys to victory over the Steelers and also his observations from the first 7 games of the season. We dive into the poor performances by the Browns defense, and of course we continue the Baker Mayfield debate. Barry also previously covered the New York Gian...

What's up, Browns fans! The Browns square off against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday in our first divisional game of the 2021 season. But let's not kid ourselves--the Big Ben coming into Cleveland is now the Big Has-Ben, and our defensive pass rush could (c'mon, Joe Woods!) wreak havoc on the future Hall-of-Famer. The Steelers offensive line is a joke, so the Browns should be able t...

What's up, Browns fans! It was an impressive bounce-back win on Thursday Night Football as the Browns beat the Denver Broncos 17-14. Though it ended as a 3-point victory, it sure felt like more. The Browns were in control from the first kick, and it never seemed like the game was in any sort of jeopardy. Case Keenum started for the injured Baker Mayfield and played well in a last-minute call-t...

What's up, Browns fans! What's left of the Browns will be facing the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football this week. The injuries have piled up beyond measure, but good teams in the NFL find ways to overcome and elevate their backups and depth pieces to solid performances when needed. And we look for the Browns to make a statement in a primetime spot. At the time of this recording, we...

What's up, Browns fans! We Browns fans need to commiserate together in times of loss, and the Browns lost a big one this week. The Arizona Cardinals came into Cleveland and completely dominated the Browns for a 37-14 victory. And, honestly, the score was really 37-7. We had yet another embarrassing display of defense in this game. Baker Mayfield turned the ball over multiple times, separated h...

What's up, Browns fans! After a tough, heartbreaking loss to the Chargers in Week 5, the Browns face yet another difficult opponent in the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals are the only remaining undefeated team in the NFL, and quarterback Kyler Murray is one of the early frontrunners for MVP. The big question this week is which Browns defense will show up? Will we see the stifling defense that...

What's up, Browns fans! The trip to Los Angeles was disappointing as the Browns set a brand new NFL record, though it was one we didn't want. We are now the first team in NFL history to score 40+ points, gain 500+ yards and commit 0 turnovers...and lose the game. But on the plus side, we saw a huge bounce-back performance from Baker Mayfield, who threw for over 300 yards and 2 scores. The...

What's up, Browns fans! This Sunday will be a big-time matchup for the Browns when they travel to Los Angeles to face the Chargers. Justin Herbert is the new hotness in the NFL, having just snapped Baker's rookie QB records in 2020. Now, Baker and Herbert square off as the leaders of two teams currently sitting high in the AFC. Will the Browns defense contain Herbert and his explosive offe...

What's up, Browns fans! It definitely wasn't pretty, but the Browns came out of Minnesota with a 14-7 victory over the Vikings. Defense was once again the story of the game as the Browns pretty much smothered Kirk Cousins and the Vikings offense after their opening drive touchdown. But the big story from this game, unfortunately, is the Browns offense (or lack thereof). Baker Mayfield look...

What's up, Browns fans! This week the Browns head up to Minnesota to battle Kirk Cousins and the Vikings. This will be a much better opponent from the NFC North than the Bears were, so the Browns will need to bring their best from all 3 levels of the game to come home with a victory. After a huge performance from Myles Garrett and the defense in Week 3, we're expecting the high level of pl...

What's up, Browns fans! After two weeks of disappointing defensive performances, the Browns came out and set records en route to a beatdown on the Chicago Bears. We sacked Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields NINE times, with Myles Garrett setting a franchise record with 4.5 of those. The Bears had JUST ONE passing yard of offense, and a total of 47 yards for the entire game. Finally we can...

What's up, Browns fans! It's time to take on the Chicago Bears at First Energy Stadium this Sunday. We break down the matchup against a tough defense and what the Browns offense needs to do to win this game. Our defense needs to shut down Allen Robinson and prove it can handle an opposing team's number one receiving option--which so far has not been the case. Also, we make our weekly g...

What's up, Browns fans! Week 2 brought the first Browns win of the 2021 season. Cleveland outpaced the Houston Texans in a game that was close throughout, finally pulling ahead to secure a 31-21 victory. You'll notice today's show is only our recap of the Texans game. We're going to start doing 2 episodes each week, one for the previous game recap and the other to preview the upcom...

What's up, Browns fans! Week 1 is in the books, and it looked very bright for the Browns for about two and a half quarters of football. But, a severe case of Brownsing took over, and we fell short of the Chiefs 33-29. All in all, we're confident in saying the Browns had Kansas City defeated, but we simply imploded and lost the game to our own mistakes. Tune in and hear our recap of the gam...

What's up, Browns fans! IT'S FINALLY GAME WEEK! We've been talking and projecting for the 2021 NFL season for decades, centuries--nay, eons!--and now our Cleveland Browns will finally take the field Sunday afternoon against the Kansas City Chiefs. Tune in and hear our preview of the matchup against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. What do the Browns need to do to come out of Kansas City...

What's up, Browns fans! The 2021 preseason is finally in the books with a third straight Browns victory. The Browns took down the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night, and our first-team guys (most of them) got the tune-up we were all hoping for in the first quarter. Baker Mayfield looked in command of the offense on his two drives, the second one ending in a spectacular step-back jumper TD pass to...

What's up, Browns fans! What a wild week of training camp and joint practices. We had fights, good days, bad days, and it's almost difficult to remember what happened yesterday and what happened two weeks ago. Either way, it all culminated with another Browns preseason victory over the New York Giants on Sunday afternoon. Freddie Kitchens still can't win a game in First Energy Stadium....

What's up, Browns fans! We FINALLY got to see our beloved orange helmets take the playing field Saturday night down in Florida against the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was encouraging to watch Urban Meyer's ho-hum starters get rocked by our second stringers on both sides of the ball. We dive into our full reactions to the Browns first preseason game and which players really popped off the tape...

What's up, Browns fans! Josh Allen just got a BAG of money, so the quarterback contract race is on. Who will be next, Lamar Jackson, Baker Mayfield, or Josh Rosen? All kidding aside, we break down what the Buffalo Bills' QB's new pricetag could mean for the Browns and Baker Mayfield. We have another week of training camp news and notes to dissect. Not to mention the football season has...

What's up, Browns fans! The Dawgs made their way to the first open training camp session on Friday, so we have some first-hand accounts on what we saw (and didn't see) on Friday afternoon in Berea. Also, some HUGE contract news dropped on Saturday about Nick Chubb. The Pro Bowl running back will be in Cleveland for a while! It feels so good to finally have our team out on the field. Traini...

What's up, Browns fans! Can you believe we're less than a week away from training camp? It feels like we've been talking "what ifs" and "when we get to camp" forever at this point. But it's finally here, and we couldn't be more excited. Heck, we were so excited we had to bring Barry Shuck from DawgsByNature.com back onto the show to discuss the top headlines to...

What's up, Browns fans! We were finally able to catch up with Chad Brillante, host of "Sports Drive with Chad Brillant" on ESPN Pensacola in Florida. We immediately learned two things about Chad: (1) he definitely knows sports, and (2) he's absolutely hilarious. We wanted to bring Chad on the show to talk about the Browns from an outsider's perspective who follows sports for a...

What's up, Browns fans! Thanks for hanging in there with us as we took an unexpected two-week hiatus. Between sickness and vacations, The Dawgs just had to hit pause on the podcast. But we're all healthy, home, and back in the studio to discuss a lot of Browns news and topics from the last two weeks. Over the hiatus, listeners and viewers sent questions and voicemails for us to discuss. We...

What's up, Browns fans! We hope all you DADS out there had an awesome Father's Day weekend. The Browns wrapped up their mandatory minicamp activities this week, and we have some very encouraging reports to discuss on the show today. We have Odell Beckham Jr. back on the field, we have defensive players working together, we have rookies impressing veterans, and we have new veterans who are...
