Hour 2: Should Myles Garrett be at voluntary workouts this week? + Albert Breer

The episode opens with a discussion on Myles Garrett's absence from the Browns' voluntary OTAs, questioning whether his non-attendance is a leadership issue, especially given the arrival of a new head coach and defensive coordinator. Hosts Nick Wilson and Jonathan Peterlin debate whether Garrett should show up to signal support for the new regime, despite acknowledging that voluntary OTAs are low-effort and mostly classroom-based. They contrast Garrett’s situation with Lamar Jackson’s, who attended due to new coaching staff, but ultimately conclude that while Garrett’s absence is notable, it’s not a major concern for the team’s immediate future. Albert Breer of the MMQB joins to provide context, emphasizing that unlike quarterbacks, defensive stars like Garrett don’t carry the same symbolic or functional weight in early OTAs. He also cautions against taking Andrew Barry’s 'Cleveland Brown for life' comment as gospel, noting that player futures can shift quickly, especially with Garrett nearing the back end of his prime. The conversation then pivots to the Browns’ upcoming No. 6 draft pick, with Breer suggesting an offensive lineman—particularly a guard or right tackle—would be the ideal selection, though he acknowledges the uncertainty of the draft board. The hosts express cautious optimism, stressing that the Browns should avoid 'curveball' picks and instead focus on value and fit. Later, the discussion turns to Troy Aikman’s controversial comments about using broadcast access to gain insider knowledge for the Dolphins, raising concerns about fairness and transparency in NFL media. Breer argues this trend could erode the integrity of broadcasts and create an uneven playing field, ultimately harming fans. The episode closes with a lighthearted moment and a preview of the Guardians game.
