Description: After a "yay or boo" bit riffing on last night's concert and a running joke about Myles Garrett's shirtless press conferences, Ken doubles down on his stance that Jared Verse could eventually be more beloved in Cleveland than Garrett, even predicting the exact date fans will start complaining about Verse after a tough loss. He argues Garrett's immense talent excused a lack of vocal leadership, something he expects Verse to actually provide as the roster tries to build a winning culture around a young quarterback. A caller compares the situation to Joe Flacco's steadying veteran presence during the Browns' 2023 playoff run, and Ken agrees leadership, not sack totals, is what he's really hoping Verse brings to a locker room that's never had it from the front of the defense.
