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

I'm Gabe Kalura.

The Browns spent their first day in London, England today in preparation for the Minnesota Vikings this coming Sunday.

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

defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, special teams coordinator Bubba Ventron, running back Quinn Sean Judkins,

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

We'll start with offensive coordinator Tommy Reese, who discussed his new starting quarterback, Dylan Gabriel. So can you address the quarterback change and how do you believe that this will give you guys a lift and a boost?

Yeah, no, excited about the opportunity for Dylan and obviously talking with Kevin and throughout the week on it, you know, felt like it was the right time for it.

He's putting a lot of work to put himself ready to play. So guys have rallied around him. We've got to all do our part to make sure that we can elevate the play of the quarterback and get the quarterback playing well. So I know Dylan's chomping at the bit, and Joe's been there every step of the way to help support him through this process and get this, on this week here in London and getting ready to play Minnesota.

Tommy, are there other pages of the playbook that will now be dusted off with a different sort of skill set?

You want to build what you do around a certain guy's skill set, make them feel comfortable, put them in, you know, positions that, you know, gives them a certain level of confidence in what they're operating. But look, we have enough in our offense that we feel like can tailor to both guys. So there's certainly some things that Dylan does that are different, certainly things that Joe does are different. And it's our job as coaches put them in that position. What was it, why was it, do you guys feel like this was the moment to make this

change? Was it just the turnover is becoming too much? Was it just a combination of right thing?

But why, why now compared to a week ago or, you know, letting Joe go again?

Yeah, look, we all got to play better at a lot of positions. This is not singular just to the

quarterback position. You know, we all got to do our part around them of positions. This is not singular just to the quarterback position.

You know, we all got to do our part around them, coaches included. So, you know, obviously when we spoke, Kevin and I, you know, felt like it was it was an opportunity to make the change and, you know,

really looking at it as a way to spark the offense, get things going.

Was there any consideration given whatsoever to making Chador the backup and what sort of philosophy to having Joe being the number two right now? Yeah, I just feel like, you know, Joe's going to stay the number two right now and, you know, has done a lot to prepare and be ready to go, you know, in a pinch. Does it come over here this week, just the whole itinerary of the week, does it add any challenges to?

Yeah, sure. I mean, I think, look, we have a good plan in place to how we're preparing. You know, we got a lot of work done on the front end of this trip. Got some extra walkthrough, some extra time to make sure that, you know, we did everything we could to treat it as normal as possible. obviously known it it's not, but don't see any real limitations, have a good plan in place as we get here, as we were back home.

So it felt like we had enough time to pour into the game plan.

Dylan said yesterday that he hopes to bring some juice, some air to the offense.

How does he do that?
