Would Todd Monken Get the Same Heat Stefanski Did for Starting Watson?
Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony LimaPublished On: Thu Jul 23 2026
Description: Ken and Lima debate whether Todd Monken would face Kevin Stefanski-level backlash if he names Deshaun Watson the Week 1 starter over Shedeur Sanders, agreeing he'd get "a nasty reaction" but noting Watson would actually get first-team reps this time, unlike last year's setup. They revisit Brian Baldinger's take that coaches want 24/7 football from their quarterbacks and wrestle with how fair it is to hold Sanders' outside interests against him if he struggles, drawing a comparison to how Myles Garrett's hobbies were scrutinized before the draft. There's also a debunking tangent on the Keanu Reeves-Ravens tryout rumor, plus a preview of camp's pass-charting culture, where fans will grade throws without knowing what the actual play call was.
