Welcome to this week 11 Thursday edition of the From the Podium podcast.

I'm Gabe Kalura.

The Browns continue preparations here at the cross-country mortgage campus

to take on the Baltimore Ravens at Huntington Bank Field for a 425 kick this coming Sunday.

On this episode, you'll hear from offensive coordinator Tommy Reese,

defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, special teams coordinator Bubba Ventron,

offensive guard Joel Betonio, linebacker Carson Swessinger, and safety Grant Delpit.

We'll start with offensive coordinator Tommy Reese,

who discussed his first game calling plays in the NFL in week 10.

At the game on Sunday, where did you see, feel like really tangible progress was made in the

offense from maybe before the vibe to the day?

Yeah, I think some of the things we wanted to focus on, is this always on?

Okay. Gotcha. All right. Some of the things we wanted to focus on,

get Jerry going, get the ball to the perimeter. You know, there's some other things that I would talk about. Don't want to schematically give anything away, but felt like there was progress there.

Felt like our guys had a really good week of prep.

Really disappointed in the result, you know, ultimately walking off of that field and how

the game ends and look, as a play caller, there's always things you want back.

Felt like we put our guys in position to have success throughout the game.

And then when you do that and you don't have success, you always look to why and what you can do during the week to help your players have that success. And then, you know, there's going to be a handful of calls that you make that the defense, you know, won the rep. That happens in football throughout a game. And then there's a couple of plays there that you say didn't put our guys in the right position. And those are the ones as a play caller that eat at you. But definitely felt like trending in the right direction, some of the things that we wanted to emphasize without going into too much detail schematically. We got done. And we got to build off that and start winning some games. Not like four than one.

What were you hoping for and then what happened?

Yeah.

Well, you talk about a play call you want back.
