What a dumbass.

Deshaun practicing today so he may pass concussion protocol. I suspect if he passes he may just throw the first pass and Shedeur plays the rest of the game.

If Sanders throws the ball more than 25 times. The Browns will lose

Watson has cleared concussion protocol. Looks like Monken used this as an opportunity to take a look at Shedeur. https://x.com/camijustice/status/2119127232069202132?a=V8DFTy3YDWApitV0Zrk&s=46

so we get to see #2 start on sunday, I wonder if he will be able to get the ball out quicker than #4

The magic 8 ball says, "most definitely"

Saints Defensive EPA is... not good.

I'd expect Shedeur to find success today.

I just read where they're starting Watson against Houston. - Per 'source'.

@Orion I kind of assumed he’d be back in the saddle.

Feels like a year since they’ve played a home game

Orion

@Dutch-Oven Well, they're home now until December 20th.

Phew! That said, I'm thinking their front 7 has a better pass rush than the one that just that had Sander's looking like a deer looking into headlights for too much of the game Sunday. My guess is it's a combo of a lack of preparation in the film room and focus as well as some inevitable rust. I didn't see a QB that looked hungry for the opporturnity he had until it was almost too late. I don't expect everyone to agree with that especially since the OL was a hot mess. However I think back to the types of QB/leadership we won with throughout the 80s with Sipe & Kosar; and I feel like I deserve to demand better considering how long ago that was. Thay had occasional bad days; but it wasn't ever because they didn't prepare for those hunting them. That might have been the most winnable game on the schedule yet; but to see a penalty fest unfold showed an overall lack of concentration epitomizing what happens when there's a lack of leadership or confidence on the leadership.

Just in case any extra motivation/incentive is needed this week - Watson is going against his previous employer. Just a guess that he'll be pepared...
