Podcast appearances and mentions of zac jackson

Ken and Anthony break down Zac Jackson's claim that there's zero real trade market for Shedeur Sanders and no actual calls coming in, despite all the fan noise online. They debate whether Shedeur would ever demand a trade if Deshaun Watson wins the starting job, with Ken insisting fans care way more about this than teams actually do. The two also weigh whether a Jets deal or a surprise Brennan Sorsby pickup would shake up the quarterback math in Cleveland at all.

Zac Jackson from The Athletic joins the show and lands firmly on the side of the Browns making a bid for Brendan Sorsby, calling it near malpractice to pass on a redshirt quarterback prospect given the team's history of running toward red flags and buying low on talent. Zac pegs a third round pick as the serious offer threshold, with a fourth round bid being the "we're interested but not desperate" move, and flatly dismisses the idea that adding Sorsby would muddy the Watson versus Shedeur Sanders competition since Sorsby would be a pure developmental project with no bearing on this year's starter. On Watson specifically, Zac is blunt, saying spring practice only confirmed what everyone already knew: he's the same inconsistent, inaccurate quarterback he's been and there's no reason for a team focused on the future to play him. Zac also sees a door open for LeBron to return to Cleveland, arguing there's no truly ideal landing spot for him right now and that a mix of role, sentimentality, and winning opportunity could make Cleveland a real option.

Zac Jackson joins Ken Carman and Anthony Lima to explain why it would be "malpractice" for the Browns to ignore Brendan Sorsby. They debate the impact of Sorsby's character issues and the crowded Cleveland quarterback room. The discussion also touches on rumors about LeBron James' potential return to Northeast Ohio and the growth of soccer in the United States. 01:50 - Zac Jackson Interview 05:24 - Sorsby Draft Evaluation 09:24 - Browns Quarterback Room 12:25 - Todd Monken Offense 17:15 - LeBron Retirement Rumors 20:50 - College Prospect Projections 24:12 - Gambling Red Flags 33:15 - Alexi Lalas Criticism 38:10 - NBA Career Legacies

Zac Jackson of The Athletic joins Afternoon Drive on The Fan. He talks about the fallout of the Myles Garrett trade, why it's an endorsement of Andrew Berry, what he's seen from the Browns quarterbacks at OTAs, and more.

Todd Monken faces a difficult decision regarding the Cleveland Browns' starting quarterback as both Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders struggle during OTAs. Zac Jackson of The Athletic provides insight into the competition, while Nick Wilson and Jonathan Peterlin's discussion explores if the team's defensive talent can compensate for offensive inconsistencies. The conversation also touches on the Cleveland Guardians and the possibility of decimal jersey numbers. 01:02 - Browns QB Competition Analysis 03:45 - Monken's Quarterback Decision Timeline 06:03 - Browns Roster and Defensive Talent 12:23 - Shifting Narratives on Deshaun Watson 16:11 - Jersey Numbers and Guardians Update

Nick and Jonathan are joined by Zac Jackson of The Athletic. Also, they break down the Browns QB competition, and they discuss the Guardians besting the Yankees.

Ken and Lima dig into the uncomfortable question of what success even looks like this year without Myles Garrett, with Ken admitting he is going to empty the chamber of excuses for Todd Monken the way he did for Kevin Stefanski, which he knows Lima is going to hold against him. A caller named Nick cuts through everything and lands the hardest punch of the segment, asking at what point Browns fans stop lowering their expectations every single year and start demanding more, especially from a front office that is about to charge two million dollars for PSLs in a new stadium while fielding a five win team. Ken pushes back on the negligence charge about not shopping the Myles trade, promising to address it with Zac Jackson at 7:22, but the Arch Manning scenario is what really takes over the end of the segment with Ken making the uncomfortable but honest case that if the Browns land the number one pick, the Manning family is going to have more say over who coaches this team than anyone wants to admit.

Zac Jackson from The Athletic gives the Myles Garrett trade his overall approval while validating the process that led to it, but the moment that stops everything is his flat declaration that if Jim Schwartz had been hired as head coach, Garrett is still a Cleveland Brown heading into year ten. The Browns get credit for making a sound long-term decision, with Jackson framing the rebuild timeline around the back half of 2027 and 2028 rather than anything happening this season, and Andrew Barry gets a strong endorsement for his willingness to embrace where the franchise actually is rather than pretending otherwise. The Brendan Sorsby supplemental draft question gets a smart answer too, with Jackson pointing out that in a silent auction nobody tips their hand, which means anything anyone says publicly about him should be taken with a full shaker of salt.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima analyze the fallout from the Cleveland Browns trading Myles Garrett to the Rams for Jared Verse and future draft picks. Guest Zach Jackson joins to discuss the management of the roster under Andrew Berry and reveals that Garrett might still be in Cleveland if Jim Schwartz had become head coach. They also evaluate the future of the quarterback position and the potential for upcoming trades involving Denzel Ward. 02:23 - Schwartz and Monken Dynamics 06:54 - Arch Manning Draft Scenarios 11:09 - Fan Frustration and Accountability 16:39 - Zach Jackson Joins Show 22:53 - The Schwartz-Garrett Revelation 31:11 - Brendan Sorsby Supplemental Draft 35:24 - Garrett vs Kevin Stefanski 40:12 - Denzel Ward Future Trade

Jim Schwartz breaks his silence on the Ryan Ripken show and delivers exactly the answer everyone already knew was coming, saying he was not going to stay on as defensive coordinator after getting passed over for the head coaching job because a forced marriage never works and players would have been more loyal to him than to Todd Monken. Ken and Lima both agree the reasoning is completely understandable and that they said the same thing the minute Monken was hired, but Ken's concern is not about the past, it is about what happens if Schwartz keeps popping up in the media during a five win season and starts undermining Monken before he ever gets a fair shot. The bigger question hangs over the whole segment, with Lima asking Ken directly whether the clock is already ticking on Todd Monken and Ken saying yes without hesitation, which sets up the next conversation with Zac Jackson about just how much runway this coaching staff actually has.

Nick and Jonathan are joined by Brent Sobleski of Bleacher Report. Also, they react to Zac Jackson's complete mock draft for the Browns, and they discuss Ohio State vendors offering to round up to go to the NIL fund.
