Zac Jackson joins Ken and Lima to explain why the Browns are 2-1 despite Deshaun Watson's shaky film, crediting a dominant pass rush led by Mason Graham, Watson's fourth-quarter scramble plays, and a defense that adapted to injuries. He says Watson's odds of being back next year remain slim and that Kevin Stefanski likely wouldn't have gone down this road, since every bit of evidence he has says Todd Monken made the quarterback call. They also preview a huge Thursday night game against Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers, then detour into Mount Union's ranking in the Bill Conley 772 and the Akron coaching jokes.

Ken and Anthony bring in producer John to recap the Guardians' playoff-clinching celebration and debate whether their Angel Martinez reaction tweet was genuine excitement or sarcasm, before pivoting to Kevin Stefanski's fiery win with the Falcons. They dig into Packers tight end Tucker Kraft's comments about how much the home boos stung after a blowout home-opener loss, sparking a debate over whether modern athletes have gotten too sensitive to fan criticism. Ken and Anthony also poke fun at how much more animated Stefanski's postgame speech was compared to his time in Cleveland.

For two weeks, John Browner called Kevin Stefanski everything but a coach. Thursday night, he had to retract one of them. Atlanta walked into Lambeau and ran Green Bay off its own field 35-14 — Bijan Robinson nearly 200 yards on the ground, Drake London 194 through the air, and a coach who finally threw his own philosophy out the window when he saw the Packers couldn't stop the run. John won't give Michael Penix Jr. full credit for the stat line, but he'll give the night an A-plus. Beav joins to point out Stefanski is now 6-0 on Thursday nights, and the question turns to Green Bay: is this the worst Packers team of John's lifetime, and is Jordan Love now where Justin Herbert has been — out of excuses? Then Mykell Mathieu calls in from Crypto.com Arena for Nneka Ogwumike's final home game, the 2016 champions' halftime tribute, and why her greatest legacy might be the players' union deal that changed what WNBA players get paid. It closes on the Lakers' first media day without LeBron since 2018 and a roster that lives or dies on staying healthy. New episodes weekday mornings. Follow the crew on X.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima dissect the Browns' 34-10 season-opening blowout loss to Jacksonville, with Ken vowing he's done picking Cleveland to win — even a "potato sack race" — after guaranteeing (in his mind, just "picking") a win that turned into a laugher. They spread the blame across Deshaun Watson's rough first half, Todd Monken's shaky play-calling and clock-management "Stefanski-isms," and a defense that struggled without Myles Garrett and Jim Schwartz, while noting Trevor Lawrence looked like the "mythical" No. 1 pick version of himself. They close by teasing that bad quarterback play alone doesn't explain the collapse, since a strong defense masked similar struggles last season.

Anthony Lima replays his own breakdown of Deshaun Watson's first-half interception, comparing it to coaching an 11-year-old, which sends Ken Carman into a rant about how the blowout loss insults fans' intelligence and cements his refusal to ever pick the Browns again this season. A wave of callers follows, questioning whether Todd Monken's vague QB competition and non-answers on a potential in-season change signal Cleveland is repeating the Stefanski era's dysfunction. The segment wraps with a news recap: Watson's final stat line, Myles Garrett's four-week absence after knee surgery, and the Guardians pulling within a half-game of first place.

Carl and Mike get into more Falcons talk as they react to a comment from a listener who states Kevin Stefanski technically does not know what he has in Michael Penix Jr. due to the fact he just took the Falcons job in the offseason and Penix Jr. will still need to put the work in once he is cleared in order to prove to Stefanski he should win the job.

They push back on the popular narrative that drafting Gabriel was solely Stefanski's decision, noting it's never been formally confirmed and conveniently shifts blame now that he's gone. The conversation turns lighthearted as they joke about dueling documentary film crews following Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson at camp, debate when the right moment for an inevitable "camp fight" would be, and needle producer Jonathan for pulling up Rocket Sanders' modest four-game stat line after the team's earlier on-air infatuation with him.

Ken and Lima debate whether Todd Monken would face Kevin Stefanski-level backlash if he names Deshaun Watson the Week 1 starter over Shedeur Sanders, agreeing he'd get "a nasty reaction" but noting Watson would actually get first-team reps this time, unlike last year's setup. They revisit Brian Baldinger's take that coaches want 24/7 football from their quarterbacks and wrestle with how fair it is to hold Sanders' outside interests against him if he struggles, drawing a comparison to how Myles Garrett's hobbies were scrutinized before the draft. There's also a debunking tangent on the Keanu Reeves-Ravens tryout rumor, plus a preview of camp's pass-charting culture, where fans will grade throws without knowing what the actual play call was.
