Number 2: Daryl Ruiter: There's Nothing Left in Deshaun Watson's Tank
Daryl Ruiter joins Ken Carman and Anthony Lima to dissect the Browns' loss, arguing Watson's box score stats mask an ugly performance where he showed no feel for the field, took needlessly deep drops, and remains a liability physically given his surgery history and the coaching staff's baffling use of RPOs with him. Ruiter says he can't explain why Watson beat out Shedeur Sanders for the job, calling the preseason evidence for that decision essentially nonexistent, and all three agree it would be a bad football decision to start Watson again if he plays similarly poorly against Tampa Bay. They also note the defense was arguably worse than the offense, with Trevor Lawrence carving up Cleveland for four touchdowns and Jared Verse managing more tackles than Myles Garrett despite the drop-off in pass rush.
