Daryl Ruiter: Deshaun Watson Is More Likely Than Not the QB in 2027 Oct 26, 2026

Show notes

Daryl Ruiter joins Ken and Lima to react to the Browns’ comeback from 14-0 in Tennessee, praising Todd Monken’s visible accountability when he got on special teams coordinator Byron Storer after a 12-men penalty. Daryl admits the Browns are still imperfect, with eight flags and a dropped touchdown, but likes that they now win games they used to lose, and he singles out the balanced effort from Quinshon Judkins, Harold Fannin Jr., Dylan Sampson and Denzel Ward. When asked about the poll Lima’s tangent inspired, he says Deshaun Watson is more likely than Cam Ward to be the 2027 quarterback and that the Browns can rewrite his contract language before a March deadline, while Ken distances himself from the poll.

Should the Browns Chase Cam Ward Over Deshaun Watson? Oct 26, 2026

Show notes

Ken and Lima open with Myles Garrett skipping his Halloween costume for the Pittsburgh trip, then Zac Jackson’s pregame tweet calling the Titans game a tryout for next year’s Browns quarterback room sends Lima toward a Cam Ward vs. Deshaun Watson poll that Ken refuses to touch. They still end up digging into the money, from Watson’s $46 million cap hit to the projected $50.3 million franchise tag and what Baker Mayfield, Daniel Jones and Malik Willis make. Caller Matt blasts them for even entertaining Ward after the Browns beat him in his own stadium, and Ken pleads to keep it a Browns victory Monday.

Lima Likes: Denzel Ward Dominates With a Club on His Hand Oct 26, 2026

Show notes

Lima’s likes start with Denzel Ward, who plays through a hand injury with five stitches and a dislocation and comes up with a game-changing interception, much to Todd Monken’s amusement. Ken and Lima also praise Quinshon Judkins for bouncing back from a slow start with two touchdowns and 5.6 yards a carry, and KC Concepcion for his 129 yards and a key downfield block on one of Judkins’ runs. They wrap up with a quick look at the delay-of-game flag debate, Kevin Stefanski’s big win for the Falcons, and a teased conversation that Ken refuses to have.

Can Browns Fans Trust Deshaun Watson Yet Even at 5-2? Oct 26, 2026

Show notes

Ken and Lima start with a tangent about the World Series and a heated east side vs. west side debate over the best fall foliage in Northeast Ohio. They then return to Deshaun Watson, with Ken admitting he still can’t fully trust him and wondering what his future looks like if the Browns keep winning and the quarterback market stays thin. Callers Tyreek and Nick weigh in, with Tyreek calling Watson a top-10 quarterback and Nick admitting he was wrong and is happy to root for him again.

Was Denzel Boston Responsible for Deshaun Watson's Interception? Oct 26, 2026

Show notes

Ken and Lima play Deshaun Watson’s postgame comments blaming Denzel Boston’s slant route for the interception, and they side with Watson and Todd Monken, who say a receiver has to fight to the inside there. They talk about how hard fans and media have been on Watson over the years, and how much bias shapes the way a pick gets remembered. Callers Jeff and John then weigh in, with Jeff predicting a top-10 finish for Watson and John joking that the Browns should cut him, while Ken admits he’s been wrong about Watson in the past and is simply enjoying the 5-2 start.

Does Deshaun Watson Deserve a B With No Touchdown Passes? Oct 26, 2026

Show notes

After Todd Monken praises the Browns fans who filled the stands in Tennessee, Ken and Lima ask listeners to grade Deshaun Watson’s day in the 27-24 win. Ken gives him a solid B despite no touchdown passes and an interception, while Lima calls him decisive and in command, pointing to his smarter decisions, fewer self-inflicted sacks and comfort working under center. They argue that yards after the catch for KC Concepcion and Harold Fannin Jr. are the offense working as designed, then open the phones for grades.

Did Deshaun Watson Just Win Over Browns Fans at 5-2? Oct 26, 2026

Show notes

Ken and Lima debate whether fans simply love the Browns or actually like this version, with Ken arguing the resolve shown in Tennessee and the young talent prove the 5-2 start is no fluke. Callers Warren and Jay rave about Watson’s ice-cold late-game drives and a sturdy offensive line, while Ken points to the success running from under center as a real shift in the offense. They close by turning to Sunday in Pittsburgh, where the Browns are underdogs in a building they haven’t won in during the regular season in over two decades.

Do You Officially Love the Browns Again? Oct 26, 2026

Show notes

Ken and Lima react to the Browns’ 27-24 comeback win over the Titans, which moves them to 5-2 after falling behind 14-0 early. Lima says he now trusts this team, which is bigger than just loving it, and the two credit the young playmakers like Harold Fannin, Quinshon Judkins and KC Concepcion even though the defense got run over by Tony Pollard. They wrap up by asking listeners if they officially love the Browns again and opening the phones for the debate on Deshaun Watson.
