Running back Nick Chubb is arguably the best player on offense for the Browns. Coming back from injury in Sunday's win against the Houston Texans, Chubb showed he's the most selfless. Although he could've scored a touchdown in the final minute of the game, Chubb casually stepped out of bounds so the Browns could run out the clock.

This was the type of game that defines Chubb as a player. On this week's Cover 2 podcast, Nate Ulrich and Dan Kadar talk about Chubb's performance and why the Browns should extend his contract now.

Now they get to Chubb, though, they discuss how the Browns are reacting to getting hit by COVID-19. They close this week's show looking ahead to Sunday's game against the Eagles and going over the keys to the game.

Why the Browns need to extend Nick Chubb's contract now

The Cover 2 podcast from the Akron Beacon Journal is coming to a close. Well, at least for hosts Nate Ulrich and Dan Kadar.

Nate is transitioning off the Browns beat full to focus on writing in-depth features on Northeast Ohio athletes from all walks of life. 

The exact date it started is nebulous, but the podcast has gone several hundred episodes covering the good and mostly bad of the Browns — with plenty of movie and food takes sprinkled in. 

The final episode from Nate and Dan is a retrospective of sorts. Get your tissues. Here's a little bit of what was talked about on this episode: 

- Nate details his most memorable games while on the Browns beat for the past 12 years. That includes some love for Brian Hoyer, Baker Mayfield's debut in 2018 and the helmet swing heard around the world by Myles Garrett.

- Nate explains why veteran Browns left guard Joel Bitonio was among his most favorite players to cover over the years.

- What are the Brownsiest Browns moments since 2010? The Johnny Manziel saga that included a helicopter searching for him? The team going 1-31? Josh Gordon's numerous suspensions? Beyond all that, there is something more recently that sticks out that defines "Browns is Browns." 

- We couldn't let Nate off the beat until he makes a prediction for how the Browns will do in 2022. Of course, that comes with caveats based on whether or not quarterback Deshaun Watson will get suspended, and for how long.

This episode closes with some heartfelt and earned recognitions

Nate and Dan sign off from the Cleveland Browns podcast

The Cleveland Browns have now gone through two weeks of voluntary organized team activities with new franchise quarterback Deshaun Watson.

Although the media has only been allowed to view two practices, there is still plenty to learn.

On this edition of the Cover 2 podcast, Browns beat writer Nate Ulrich explains how Watson looks effortless throwing the ball in Berea.

As good as Watson has looked, the defense — specifically the secondary — is challenging the quarterback. Although you can’t judge too much because it’s spring practices, the most you can glean is from watching the pass catchers going against defensive backs.

That includes safeties John Johnson III and Grant Delpit. Nate explains how the pair is gelling thus far. He also gives an update on new wide receiver Amari Cooper and the extra work he and Watson are putting in.

This week's show also includes some thoughts on tight end David Njoku getting a new contract, defensive end Jadeveon Clowney re-signing and why fans shouldn’t expect Ndamukong Suh in Cleveland.

How Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns look in OTAs

How Deshaun Watson and the Browns look in OTAs

Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson’s legal situation is as complicated as he is talented.

Acquired earlier this year in a blockbuster deal with the Houston Texans, Watson thus far has had more depositions than practices with the Browns.

Watson’s case took a turn last week. The 26-year-old quarterback is being sued by 22 women for accused sexual misconduct during massage sessions that took place in 2020 and 2021. During a pretrial deposition last week, one of the encounters with a massage therapist reportedly ended with the woman crying. Watson followed up the incident by texting the woman an apology, according to her attorney.

Given the serious nature and the sheer volume of alleged incidents, it can be difficult to parse out fact from fiction from Browns follower fanaticism.

To help clear things up, the Cover 2 podcast with Nate Ulrich and Dan Kadar brought in special guest Brent Schrotenboer from USA TODAY. Brent has closely covered Watson’s case for USAT and broke down what everything means, the most significant developments in the case and where the potential for more lawsuits or criminal complaints stands.

Whether Watson’s legal issues continue or they conclude, the NFL will ultimately have to make a decision on disciplining the three-time Pro Bowler. 

As Nate points out, there are four ways the NFL could go in its discipline of Watson. But beyond that, it’s murky.

“They are in uncharted waters in terms of what the suspension should be,” Schrotenboer said on the podcast when it comes to the league’s decision. 

(Editor’s note: At one point Harrison County is mentioned during the podcast. It is Harris County.)
