Welcome to a loaded week 17 Thursday edition of From the Podium.

I'm Gabe Kalura.

We at the Browns hope you and your families are all having a very happy holiday season.

The Browns will take on the Miami Dolphins this coming Sunday.

On this episode, you'll hear from defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey, special teams coordinator

Bubba Ventron, cornerback Denzel Ward, safety Grant Delpit, quarterback Dorian Thompson,

wide receiver Jerry Judy, and offensive guard Joel Betonio. We'll start with defensive

coordinator Jim Schwartz today, who took questions on how to combat

the speed of the Miami Dolphins offense.

When you look at the Dolphins passing offense, maybe not as many explosive down-throat

pasts, you know, years past, do you think that's a product of change in, you know,

philosophy for them or more so teams just making

sure Tyreek and Jalen Water don't get loose?

You know, I don't want to comment on how, you know, what their strategy or whatever it is,

but they do have speed and explosive players.

You know, it all sort of works together and ties into what they feel the quarterback can accomplish the best and how it matches their personnel.

We've had some teams this year where we faced, you know, six foot four, six foot, you know, like every wide receiver was six foot four and contested catches.

It really wasn't a matter of matching speed it was a

matter of match and size this is a little bit different on the outside part of the field because

every single one of their guys is like 5 8 5 9 and all run 4 3 running backs wide receivers you know so

it's a little different challenge it's a match in the. It's a match in the speed as opposed to match in the physicality and the size on the

outside part of the field.
