Todd Monken Picked Deshaun Watson, No Matter What Fans Say
Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony LimaPublished On: Thu Sep 17 2026
Description: Ken pushes back hard against Ravens fans piling on him over his Lamar Jackson playoff take, redirecting the conversation to his real fight: standing firm that Todd Monken, not ownership, chose to start Deshaun Watson over Shedeur Sanders. He and Anthony debate potential ulterior motives, including Jimmy Haslam wanting a high draft pick or trying to protect stadium goodwill, but Ken insists there's no financial logic to Haslam meddling and doubles down that the decision was purely a football call. They close by floating a hypothetical where Watson plays well against Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers but still gets no benefit of the doubt from fans, before pivoting to preview Harold Reynolds joining the show to weigh in on the first-place Guardians.
