Browns reporter Daryl Ruiter joins Ken and Anthony Lima to break down the quarterback competition, saying Deshaun Watson remains the favorite to start Week 1 in Jacksonville since it's an easier transition from him to Shedeur Sanders than the reverse, though he stresses that Shedeur starting as QB2 wouldn't be a failure given the retooled line and new coaching staff around him. Ken pushes back a bit, arguing there's real pressure on Shedeur to play early since fans want to see what they have, while Ruiter counters that Deshaun's best days are likely behind him regardless of who starts. The conversation shifts to Shedeur's free youth football camp, which Ruiter says drew an outsized, electric reaction from about 500 kids, before the two dismiss Rex Ryan's recent shot at Shedeur's off-field ventures (music, photoshoots, a short film) as him complaining for the sake of complaining.

Ken and Anthony Lima dig into a short film Shedeur Sanders released on YouTube where he gets introspective about people who "show support" online but never actually reach out, which Lima reads as a shot at fair-weather fans who bailed after his rough rookie season and fifth-round draft slide. Lima argues Shedeur's personal-brand hustle—music, photoshoots, behind-the-scenes content—is smart business regardless of what critics like Rex Ryan say, while Ken repeatedly accuses him of being facetious rather than taking it seriously. The two go back and forth needling each other over whether Lima is being sincere or sarcastic about the "legendary" photoshoot content. They close out still unsure who, if anyone, Shedeur's disillusioned hangers-on jumped ship to support instead.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima breakdown the Guardians' recent "sloppy" play and the future of Gabriel Arias following a mistake-filled game.
