Zac Jackson has stories of Akron - Kent State games past, praise for Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin and no real answers on the puzzling and dysfunctional Cleveland Browns quarterback situation.

That was absolutely pathetic and embarrassing. The Jets stink! So, what's next for the Browns? What can we take away from the first game with Tommy Rees calling the plays? Zac Jackson goes over the special teams miscues, the maddening penalties and everything else from a miserable Browns Sunday in New Jersey. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Browns is the Browns. Paul DePodesta no longer works for the Browns. Kevin Stefanski no longer calls the plays. If the Browns beat the Jets Sunday, the No. 1 pick next April is no longer a realistic possibility. There's a lot going on, and we try to tackle all of it on Zac Jackson and Friends.

It was another Sunday for Jerry Jeudy, Dillon Gabriel, Kevin Stefanski and others. Myles Garrett was Superman, but the Browns as a whole were bad enough to confirm what we probably already knew: this thing is sunk. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Browns and their completely inept offense got steamrolled in Pittsburgh Sunday. It was over immediately, and it frankly doesn't seem fixable. Join Zac Jackson for a run through what happened, why it got so bad and the unsurprising reasons it seems this season is over in mid-October. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Shocked? Frustrated? Actually excited about this team's future?

Zac Jackson talks the news of the day: Joe Flacco to Cincinnati in the first ever Browns-Bengals trade. Plus, what's ailing the Browns' offense certainly isn't a one person or one phase problem and a combo conversation with The Growler pod and Paul Dehner Jr. on why the Browns and Bengals made this trade right now and what Flacco might (or might not) have left in the tank. Hosted by Simplecast, an...

Zac Jackson goes over the Browns' 21-17 loss to the Vikings. What went right? How could they not close it out? Why was the fourth quarter offense so bad -- and why does this one figure to linger? It was probably a miserable flight home for the Browns, and that's understandable because the conversation right now could be so much different. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.a...

Zac Jackson checks in from the site of the Browns' temporary British headquarters. What's the vibe? What's the internal belief in Dillon Gabriel? Can the offense do enough? Can the defense dominate Carson Wentz? Let's go over what we expect to see Sunday -- not that the Browns often do the expected. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The offense is terrible. The defense is rugged, though, and the defense kept the Browns afloat Sunday. It all came together in stunning fashion over the game's final four minutes, and Zac Jackson is joined by Mike Fuline for a breakdown of Browns 13, Packers 10: how it happened, what it means going forward and why Browns fans should celebrate (semi-responsibly). Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz co...

Zac Jackson is joined by Matt Schneidman of The Athletic for a preview of Sunday's Browns-Packers game. It's Micah vs. Myles, a nasty GB defense vs. a struggling Cleveland offense and a desperate Browns defense against Jordan Love, Josh Jacobs and company. Can the Browns keep it close?
