In this episode, the Orange and Brown Talk team of Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe start by talking about the arm soreness that kept rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders out of team drills on Saturday. They discuss how Sanders' arm issue prevented him from participating in team drills and if it's a concern moving forward. They also explore Kenny Pickett's frustration with his hamstring injury, which prevents him from utilizing his mobility, a key differentiator in the quarterback battle. The conversation shifts to Joe Flacco, who seems to be gaining momentum in the competition. With injuries affecting the other quarterbacks, Flacco's experience and familiarity with the system position him as a comfortable choice for the coaching staff, especially with tough early-season matchups looming. The podcast also touches on Dillon Gabriel's performance, noting that he hasn't seized the opportunity to build momentum. Ultimately, the episode emphasizes that with the preseason games and joint practices against Carolina and Philadelphia approaching, time is running out for the quarterbacks to make their case for the starting role.
