Zac Jackson discusses the latest change in the Browns' quarterbacking plans and both the NFL debut and pending NFL starting debut of Shedeur Sanders.

Zac Jackson has stories of Akron - Kent State games past, praise for Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin and no real answers on the puzzling and dysfunctional Cleveland Browns quarterback situation. It might be awkward for the home team come Sunday evening.

That was absolutely pathetic and embarrassing. The Jets stink! So, what's next for the Browns? What can we take away from the first game with Tommy Rees calling the plays? Zac Jackson goes over the special teams miscues, the maddening penalties and everything else from a miserable Browns Sunday in New Jersey.

The Browns is the Browns. Paul DePodesta no longer works for the Browns. Kevin Stefanski no longer calls the plays. If the Browns beat the Jets Sunday, the No. 1 pick next April is no longer a realistic possibility. There's a lot going on, and we try to tackle all of it on Zac Jackson and Friends.

I lost my grandfather, Eugene Jackson, on October 30. He was 90 and he was ready to go, but we're gonna miss him. So this podcast is a tribute to him -- and his legacy, and his one-liners and the gifts he left for all of us.

It's too early to talk 2026 NFL Draft...unless you're a Cleveland Browns fan.

It was another Sunday for Jerry Jeudy, Dillon Gabriel, Kevin Stefanski and others. Myles Garrett was Superman, but the Browns as a whole were bad enough to confirm what we probably already knew: this thing is sunk.

Zac Jackson goes over Drake Maye's hot streak, the Browns' offensive struggles and some of the key numbers ahead of Browns - Patriots Sunday. He's joined by Chad Graff, Patriots beat writer for The Athletic, for a discussion on Mike Vrabel, Maye and the launching point for New England's hot start.

Zac Jackson goes over the beginning of another work week for the Browns. How good is New England? What do the next three Browns' games really mean? Is the trade deadline going to be busy? In this episode, we take a slight look ahead.

Zac Jackson and Mike Fuline take you through Browns 31, Dolphins 6 and the overall temperature of the Browns. What still needs fixed? What's worth getting excited about? What really did we learn in a much-needed win? Click in to talk about it all on Zac Jackson and Friends, presented by Fully Loaded.

Zac Jackson talks about the wild Thursday nighter, what Mike Tomlin knew (and feared) and why Joe Flacco's performance reflects so poorly on the broken Browns. Later, he's joined by Cleveland.com film guru and 92.3 Kickoff Show host Lance Reisland for a breakdown of the Dolphins, the stale Browns offense and more.

For the Browns, it's as bad as it looks. The numbers are bad. The drops are bad. The whole thing just seems...sunk. Listen to Zac Jackson go through the numbers, what Mike Tomlin knows and what the rest of us see. Happy Wednesday!

The Browns and their completely inept offense got steamrolled in Pittsburgh Sunday. It was over immediately, and it frankly doesn't seem fixable. Join Zac Jackson for a run through what happened, why it got so bad and the unsurprising reasons it seems this season is over in mid-October.

Shocked? Frustrated? Actually excited about this team's future? The Browns have made two surprising trades since returning from London and seem poised to put Bailey Zappe ahead of Shedeur Sanders in this week's QB rotation. Zac Jackson takes you through this week's big decisions and tries to interpret what they mean for the future.

Zac Jackson talks the news of the day: Joe Flacco to Cincinnati in the first ever Browns-Bengals trade. Plus, what's ailing the Browns' offense certainly isn't a one person or one phase problem and a combo conversation with The Growler pod and Paul Dehner Jr. on why the Browns and Bengals made this trade right now and what Flacco might (or might not) have left in the tank.

Zac Jackson goes over the Browns' 21-17 loss to the Vikings. What went right? How could they not close it out? Why was the fourth quarter offense so bad -- and why does this one figure to linger? It was probably a miserable flight home for the Browns, and that's understandable because the conversation right now could be so much different.
