Daryl Ruiter: All Signs Point to Deshaun Watson Starting
Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony LimaPublished On: Mon Aug 10 2026
Description: Daryl Ruiter joins the show and lays out why he believes Deshaun Watson will be the Browns' Week 1 starter, pointing to Todd Monken's comments about pre-snap processing and Shedeur Sanders still needing to learn when to throw the ball away rather than force a play. Ken presses him on whether Monken lied to fans, and Daryl says he's giving the coach some latitude given his track record of honesty, while still finding the personnel-grouping explanation for Saturday's switch a little shaky. Daryl insists the competition has been fair and Sanders hasn't been a victim of favoritism, arguing some fans can't accept that if Watson hasn't been great, Sanders simply hasn't been good enough to beat him out either
