Good morning and welcome back to Zach Jackson and friends. I am Zach Jackson. I am friendless today and most days. It is early morning on Thursday, October 9th, I believe is the date. So I've been home about two and a half days from London and it's been a whirlwind for the Browns because on Tuesday they traded

Joe Flacco and late Wednesday night and made a surprising trade of cornerback Greg Newsom to the

Jaguars along with a pick swap for cornerback Tyson Campbell. So we know this group likes a reclamation

project. We know Greg was playing on his fifth year option, which always made him tradable, except for the fact that he was your number two corner.

And ultimately, the Browns made the decision that Greg Newsom was not going to be in their future plans.

So the timing was odd on multiple fronts.

And we'll never know if they could have gotten more had they waited a few weeks, but obviously they thought they had the right opportunity there.

So we're going to go over that and some of the other things.

Basically in this episode, I'm going to try to interpret for you guys how I read some of these moves and just the overall temperature of things.

Now we're under four weeks from the trade deadline.

We're five games in to a season that never had high expectations and was always about the future,

but one that probably has to be considered disappointing on the record front.

And then, of course, there's Sunday, there's Pittsburgh, the team that's in first place

in the most dysfunctional AFC North that we can remember.

And even though the magical win for this Brown's regime that's in year six was in Pittsburgh on that Sunday night playoff game in an

empty stadium. The Browns have not won a regular season game in Pittsburgh since October 5th,

2003, when some couch was the quarterback and William Green was the running back. And I was 24 years old.

So I'm going to go over all of that and more.

If you're new here, welcome.

Maybe there'll be another one where we'll talk Steelers.

But, you know, frankly, the buzz of the week is what happens to backup quarterback.

And then outside of it, there's all this other stuff
