Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima
Published On: Tue Aug 11 2026
Description: Ken Carman and Anthony Lima react to Todd Monken's press conference walking back his earlier comments about the QB competition, with Monken essentially admitting he doesn't owe anyone the truth as head coach. They compare it to Urban Meyer's blunt honesty at Ohio State and debate whether Monken's "honeymoon" with media and fans is over. The two agree that if the QB battle is truly close, Monken will likely start Deshaun Watson over Shedeur Sanders as the veteran, which they find frustrating but understandable given roster and business dynamics. They also push back on trade/cut speculation around Watson, arguing it makes no sense this late in camp, and note Jackson Dart has reportedly started sliding to protect himself in Giants camp.
