Welcome to this week six Wednesday edition of the From the Podium podcast. I'm Gabe Kalura. The Browns are back from across the pond and in the states again as they prepare to take on the Steelers in Pittsburgh this coming Sunday. On this episode, you'll hear from head coach Kevin Stafansky, quarterback Dylan Gabriel, wide receiver Jerry Judy, and quarterback Denzel Ward.

Up first is head coach Kevin Stafansky, who discussed the decision to trade Joe Flacco on Tuesday.

All right, great challenge on the road, you know, division opponent, excited about these opportunities, these rivalry games when you're going against division opponents.

Obviously, they're atop of the division right now playing really good football.

I think they're plus seven turnover margin, doing a nice job.

Taking it away, they're playing very well on the offensive side, and they always play great on

a special team.

So really good players, coaches I have a ton of respect for.

So it's division football, it's AFC North.

We know what to expect.

But with that, I'll take any questions.

Decided if Shador is going to be your number two active quarterback for this weekend yet?

Well, first I tell you is that Joe trade took us by surprise.

That was not something that we saw coming. You know, they called us and, you know, that's,

it was, happened very fast and happened not too long ago. So still working through all roster type

of things. I just, I always have to be mindful of our players and our players

development and, you know, I want to make sure that I'm always doing what's best for our

players and, of course, our team, but, you know, with young players, I'm always thinking about

last week making the change to Dylan. You don't have to think long and hard about that,

because these are, these are young players that you're so invested in their development. So I'll let the week play out

and make a decision later on that.

And what might be the drawback to doing something like that?
