Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima

Description: Ken and Anthony parse Deshaun Watson's confusing "which Buffalo game" comment, ultimately theorizing he tanked his own preseason performance because he assumed the quarterback competition was already decided and thought Todd Monken would just get him off the field early. They argue that decision, whether real or perceived, suggests the coaching staff had already leaned toward Watson before that game ever mattered. Ken then pivots to swearing off comparing Spencer Fano, or any future Browns left tackle, to Joe Thomas, arguing the constant measuring stick was unfair to Jedrick Wills and does nothing but set up new players to fail.
