This week in Browns talk

The shows spent the week debating whether the Browns' 4-2 start is legitimate. Most credit their dominant defense and Todd Monken's coaching, but there's concern about Deshaun Watson's struggles and whether the offense can sustain anything. The Browns got a big win over Baltimore in a defensive slugfest, and now the talk is split between those who think Cleveland is for real and those who see an overachieving team with a capped ceiling because of quarterback play.

Written by The Cutdown's reader from this week's clips.
