VICTORY MONDAY: How the Browns survived Indy, Myles Garrett is the GOAT & more Deshaun Watson drama Oct 23, 2023

Show notes

IT'S VICTORY MONDAY PEOPLE!

The Cleveland Browns survived a trip to Indianapolis, beating the Colts 39-38 in the best game of the NFL's Week 7 slate.

Myles Garrett & Dustin Hopkins put this team on their backs and willed them to another come-from-behind 4th quarter victory.

Deshaun Watson made his first start for the team since Week 3, but did not look good in his early action. Watson was picked off on an underthrown ball to Marquise Goodwin before getting knocked out of the game on what should have been a second INT later in the first quarter.

Watson was checked for a concussion and cleared concussion protocol, according to the broadcast, but never re-entered the game. PJ Walker took over QB duties and led the Browns to the win.

After the game, Kevin Stefanski said it was his choice to keep Watson on the sidelines, despite DW4's pleas to re-enter. In the same press conference interview, Stefanski said Watson will be the team's starter vs. the Seattle Seahawks next week but when Watson was asked if he'd play vs. Seattle, he said, "we'll see."

More mixed messaging and potential drama between the Browns QB & head coach.

Myles Garrett was the best player on the field for either team, doing his best to single-handily keep Cleveland in the game early on.

Plus, what happened to the Browns defense, outside of Garrett? A week after shutting down the 49ers, Gardner Minshew & Jonathan Taylor sliced and diced this unit up in ways we just haven't seen this season. Is it just an anomoly or a sign of bigger things to be concerned of?

Regardless... it's VICTORY MONDAY and every win is a big win. The Browns are 4-2... LFGGG.

CLEVELAND BROWNS VS. INDIANAPOLIS COLTS INSTANT REACTION: Deshaun Watson benched, DEF looks human Oct 22, 2023

Show notes

The Cleveland Browns were riding high after beating the SF 49ers last week

Deshaun Watson was cleared and excited to make his return to the field against the Indianapolis Colts.

Then chaos ensued.

Watson threw an ugly pick on the second drive of the game and almost threw another on the next, as he was knocked to the ground and taken to the medical tent for further evaluation.

Despite being cleared of a concussion & reportedly not re-injuring his right shoulder, Watson remained on the sidelines after that while PJ Walker lead the offense.

Myles Garrett played maybe the best game of his career, with two forced fumbles on sacks, one of which led to a TD recovery.

Gardner Minshew carved up the vaunted Browns defense, as did Jonathan Taylor and the rest of the Colts offensive weapons.

Just 7 days after shutting down SF, the Browns defense looked very vulnerable against the stringy Colts.

With 13 minutes to play in the fourth quarter, a short Matt Gay FG gave Indy the 31-30 lead.

Now it's on PJ Walker, Jerome Ford, Amari Cooper and the rest of this Browns offense to find a way to lead another scoring drive & escape Indy with a W.

Elijah Moore is ready to breakout for the Cleveland Browns offense vs. the Colts | Aditi Kinkhabwala Oct 19, 2023

Show notes

Deshaun Watson is still battling a right shoulder/rotator cuff injury as the Cleveland Browns prepare for a Week 7 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.

DW4 spoke to the media on Wednesday for the first time since missing the Baltimore game, and tried to clear the air on a few things to assure the fanbase the team's brain trust are all on the same page about his situation.

For starters, Watson confirmed the injury is to his rotator cuff is a strain and he's still day-to-day. He did not practice on Wednesday. Watson said it's not a pain tolerance issue, but an issue with his ability to throw the ball with the velocity & accuracy needed to succeed on the NFL level.

Watson also said he's not sure if he'll get back to 100% this season, but is making progress and doing everything the doctors ask of him in rehab.

He also said if he's not 100%, he won't put his team at risk by playing at a level below his standard.

Kevin Stefanski said if DW4 can't go against Indy, PJ Walker would get the start in his place.

Does Watson get criticized more than other QBs who have yet to live up to their massive contract extensions? Or do we just think that because we're in Cleveland.

Kareem Hunt, Greg Newsome, Anthony Walker & Harrison Bryant all sat out Wednesday's practice with injuries. If any of those four can't go against the Colts, who would be the biggest loss?

Would you rather your team have an all-time great offense or an all-time great defense? The panel debates.

Plus, Aditi Kinkhabwala joins us at noon and Bernie Kosar is with us for the entire show!
