Welcome to this week 13 postgame edition of the From the Podium podcast.

I'm Gabe Kalura.

The Browns fell at home to the San Francisco 49ers by a final score of 26 to 8 on Sunday.

On this episode, you'll hear from head coach Kevin Stefanski, quarterback Shador Sjorda Sanders, and defensive end Miles Garrett.

We'll start with a head coach, Kevin Stafansky. Malik has a quad injury. We'll get imaging on that. You know, we have to play complimentary football to have a chance for us, a good football team. And they had a drive start on the 16 after a big punt return that led to a touchdown. They had a drive start on the 18 after a muffed punt that led to a touchdown. They had a drive start in the 25 after a failed fourth and inches led to a touchdown a fourth and one on the plus 42 led to a field goal. So that's just that's not that's not the way to play a good team where you're giving them short fields. That's not that's not the right with our defense. We've got to make them earn it. And I don't think we

did that today. And that's on May they get it fixed. Listen, it's a good football team that you're

facing and guys fought their butts off, but just not enough, especially with some of the

field position that we put them in. But with that, I'll take any questions. Kevin, you had the fourth and one from your own 33, 10 to 8, 7 to 3rd, the defense playing as well as it has in the elements, all of that. Why go for it at that moment? Felt good, Daniel. I think, you know, there's always the obvious risk when you go for it in those situations, but if you feel good about the plays you have and your players, you feel good about converting on those distances. Why specifically do you, why specifically did you go, I guess Tommy, why did you go for the sneak with Harold when you've been running the wildcat, the jumble pack, do as much as you have? Yeah, it just felt good about the call. Didn't get it done. Was there confusion leading up to that scene, rush? We had a couple guys in and out of the lineup due to injury, so that that caused it. But we obviously lined up. It was a quick count, so I knew that the play would get off. Kevin, did you think that Shador built on his first start last week against the Raiders? Yeah, I'd have to look at it, Merri-K. Obviously, he's battling like all of our guys are battling. I know there's plays he wants back, but we'll look at it. We'll correct it.

Will you start him next week? Yes. So many injuries on the offensive line guys, you know, not. How did that affect today? It is. It's just part of it, Jeff, with injuries. Don't like it, but it's just part of it. Jim, it felt like you had success running the ball, but then I'm a short yardage, even before the fourth and one or second to two or whatever. How disappointing it and why do you think it wasn't, it didn't work on those fourth and ones? Yeah, I'd have to look at it to give you a good answer, Scott, other than to say that they made a play, felt good about the concepts that we had up,

but they did a better job. Was Wyatt dealing with an injury, and if not, why did you guys rotate in the Tevin? Yeah, I rotated Tevin throughout the game. I thought wanted to see Tevin in this game. But, you know, obviously want to always get our guys as many reps to we can.

Because with the jimbo package that's having, it's usually in as a sixth office

alignment, do you think that that led to some confusion because it looked like why it kind of?

No, it was really due to the injury that we had previously.

Just one more on that fan and play. You know, the Wildcat has worked so well with Q.

Why not, why? Well, that was fourth and inside of one, I think. So it was inches. So, as you guys know, quarterback sneaks the most effective play in that situation. We did not execute. That's all me. We'll get it fixed. When you say that Chedraud will start next week, are you still taking this week by week,

or are you prepared to say that he's kind of your guy? Yeah, I'm not going to get into all that, Mary Kay, other than to say, we all have to just play better. You mentioned the mistakes on special teams, and we've, you know, asked you throughout the season about, you know, the job that the movement John is doing. and I say that all to ask, why do you think that major changes't required after, you know, another game? Yeah, we'll just make sure that we keep coaching our guys, Daniel. We had some young guys make some young mistakes today. On a positive note, what did you think of the touchdown throw that sure had to air all? Yeah, I thought that was really well executed. I thought it was a good call by Tommy in that situation. Felt really strongly about that call, that play.

We kind of have been waiting to get to it for a couple weeks,

had the right time for it.

And the long punt return that they had,

it felt like Grant maybe ran by it.

Did you get a sense?

Yeah, I'd have to look at it.
