Good morning. Welcome back to Zach Jackson and friends. I am Zach Jackson. It is Friday, September 19th. Yeah, we're counting down to Sunday. Browns and Packers 1 p.m. 0 and 2 Browns, 2 and O Packers. Maybe the best team in a league, Green Bay. I don't know if the Browns are the worst team in the league. Just one more reminder here, guys.

Like, if everybody's going to get fired, it'll happen eventually. And we especially here have always been very honest, right?

About the state of the roster, the state of the organization, how even the best front office in history

probably couldn't overcome this Deshaun Watson trade, how six years is supposed to be continuity

that equals positives, how the offensive line is in trouble in the present and the future.

But there are 15 games left in this Brown season. It is still mid-September. I guess

it'll be late September. Right. There's a long way to go. And I know that everybody wants

a pound of flesh, and I know that everybody wants their team to win. And I know it's supposed to be

about winning. And it is, right? And

three and 17 and the last 20 does not get it done. But I would just encourage everyone to let all that

happen. Let's watch the game. Maybe there'll be some enjoyable parts. Maybe they're not. I think the

Browns will come out with a good plan. I don't think they'll have enough firepower, but I think they'll come out with a good offensive plan. I think the defense will show up again. I think the Browns will come out with a good plan. I don't think they'll have enough firepower, but I think they'll come out with a good

offensive plan. I think the defense will show up again. I think they'll lose in the 16 to 10 range. We'll see. Later on, in this quick episode, we'll have my colleague Matt Schneiderman from Green Bay. We'll go through the Packers, their strengths, why the run game with Josh Jacobs drives everything, why they thought they were good enough to go acquire Michael Parsons,

how different Micah Parsons makes them. strengths, why the run game with Josh Jacobs drives everything, why they thought they were good

enough to go acquire Michael Parsons, how different Michael Parsons makes them. We're looking at the Tucker

Kraft injury. It's a star player on the rise and a guy that makes their offense different.

Will he play Sunday? How will they compensate if he doesn't? What's going on with the Brown's injuries? This is Friday morning. This is before I go to practice and we get to Friday injury report and all of that. Obviously, the Brown's offensive line has stunk and not having Jack Conklin for most of the season has been a part of that. You know, Joel Betonio, if he can get out of bed, he'll play. So he didn't practice.

He doesn't necessarily need to practice as much as these guys. We'll see if he can go.

And one of the most Cleveland Brown stories ever, giving up a blocked pun in the National

Football League got your punter hurt. So they worked out some punters that might just be for

emergency purposes. Again, we will see how that might just be for emergency purposes.

Again, we will see how that goes.
