It's a week 15 Thursday edition of the From the Podium podcast. I'm Gabe Kalura.

It's coordinator day at the cross-country mortgage campus as the Browns continue to install

their game plan for this Sunday's game in Chicago against the Bears at Soldier Field.

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

Jim Schwartz, special teams coordinator, Bubba Ventrone, offensive guard Joel Botonio, and linebacker

Carson Swessinger.

We'll start with offensive coordinator Tommy Reese, who discussed how the forecasted, frigid

elements in Chicago affect the offense.

As you know, what it's beautiful in Chicago this time of year?

It is.

I mean, three days out, how does it really affect your preparation?

You know, he had some opportunities to step up and attack the defense, whether it was, you know, throwing the ball on the move.
