00:01I have people who bought into an HOA and then they had their pool shut down because the
00:06whoever was running the management didn't didn't get paid and they didn't pay the
00:11management whoever was getting the money for the HOA and they just went okay your
00:14pools locked hey we live in this great neighborhood it's awesome we got this
00:19pool in the middle of course locals only they went there they got their towels
00:22their skivvies on getting ready to go take a dip nope there's a chain around
00:25it you can't get in that's one of many horror stories we got a good one and
00:33you'll hear a big one coming up at 720 216-474-0092 Todd Munkin was asked
00:38yesterday about naming Deshaun Watson the starter he goes why do I have to
00:42explain this I mean ultimately the full body of work I mean the previous eight
00:47games that we had played Sean played pretty well and that was my intention I
00:51just wanted to make sure we'd run it by the staff before I said it publicly I
00:53don't I don't even know why I have to say it publicly because it's really only
00:56our business in terms of who's gonna play and who's not gonna play but he
00:59played well enough to earn this still be our starter it's Todd Munkin I mean
01:07I love Todd you know why you have to explain you know why you have to explain
01:13it because yeah Deshaun Watson didn't or excuse me Shador Sanders didn't play
01:20demonstrably better than what Deshaun Watson did but you know what kind of
01:24looked about the same in so many ways and if the young guy is having a three
01:30quarters of meh and then the fourth quarter comes alive and the guy who's
01:34been in the league for 10 years has three quarters of meh and comes alive in
01:38the fourth quarter and you're still putting in a position to win a lot of
01:42people are gonna go why don't we just play the young guy because then we can get
01:45two birdstone at once we can see what we have in the young guy and we can also
01:49put ourselves maybe in a position to win now Todd Munkin's responsibility isn't to
01:54Kenny and Anthony and Owen and the fans his responsibility is to the team so I
01:58understand that but which is he knows why he has which is in the throes of actual
02:02playoff contention yes so as much as yeah in a perfect world you play the younger
02:06guy if you think the results are going to be similar you're not abandoning in the
02:11throes of a playoff hunt you're not abandoning the starter that the team is
02:15clearly rallied around so far this year what you do is you tip your cap to
02:19Shador and I didn't win the game unfortunately not all on him I still I'm
02:23surprised more hasn't been talked about the sack that he took at the end of
02:27regulation now they end up getting a field goal to tie but it also led to a
02:31short field and a touchdown for you know Tyler Shook and look there's a lot of
02:37blame to go around sucks that they lost that game but even if they would have won
02:40that game I would have still said go back to to Sean that's that's what that's
02:44what 99.9 percent of head coaches as long as they're not being infiltrated or not
02:50being told what to do that's what the code that's what a coach would do they
02:53would always go back to the five and three well I I agree and I probably I would
02:57have done the same thing I would again this isn't a knock on Todd I I think Todd
03:01has handled all this very very very well I think Todd has handled the fan base very
03:05well again it was a unpopular decision to start Deshaun Watson and he was a
03:11marked man after they went out and got hammered by Jacksonville which somebody
03:14sent me a Jacksonville hoodie yesterday I got to get into that with you and
03:17Daryl and everybody coming up at 820 I don't know what type of gag this was
03:21anyway um I he was a marked man after week one a lot of people saying one and
03:25done I I think he's handled the roster well I think he's handled the culture well I
03:28said this on pre on the preview show last night again the going for two thing
03:32that people were trying there was a groundswell of people trying to
03:35rip them for I'm like dude you're trying to establish a culture here I
03:38think you were setting yourself up to at best to tie and probably lose with a
03:42minute left in two timeouts for for New Orleans you go out there you try to win
03:45the game that's what you do I you're trying to establish a culture and so your
03:49responsibility is to 53 guys in the practice squad as best you can and I
03:54agree with his decision to go back to Deshaun because all Deshaun did was get a
03:58concussion if Shador Sanders had had such a much better game and they'd have won the
04:04game going away and it looked like he was clearly one of the best players on
04:08the field then yeah I think we got ourselves an argument and I think if
04:12Deshaun Watson goes out there and sucks up the room and they end up losing to
04:15Houston which there's another reason I would start Deshaun but if they ended up
04:19losing to Houston or anything like that yeah we got a discussion again about
04:22Shador Sanders and we'll have a good long week to talk about it because it's a
04:25bi-week but for the culture of the football team for the reliance on the on the
04:30veteran for them rallying around the veteran for the the type of team that
04:34you're playing on Sunday where I don't know if you've noticed have you seen how
04:37many sacks they have have you seen how they can get to the pass rusher there and
04:40they don't even blitz as much as you'd think with that front four they can get
04:44after you which again means what that veteran would be able to handle you would
04:48believe the better veteran be better suited to handle that than the young guy all
04:53those reasons I agree with Todd but I do find it funny it's like I don't know why I
04:56have to explain it you know why I have to explain it because I think if if we were
05:02still at seven and two or something like that at the two games that we lost close
05:05that we had won them maybe there'd be absolutely no conversation whatsoever
05:09you're five and four and I think a lot of people around the country and I do
05:12think a lot of Browns fans I think a lot of Browns fans are hopeful but they're
05:16kind of waiting for some bad things to happen they knew that this was a hot start
05:20and now you've lost two in a row and you're kind of looking over your shoulder
05:23going all right when's it coming you know when's the boogeyman coming for us
05:27and you have to go back right to where you were recalibrate and go veterans we
05:34gotta get rid of these penalties gotta play these guys gotta put ourselves in a
05:38position to win let's go out and win it because I I think Houston I know they're
05:42three and five I know they're out to a rough start there is a reason why you have
05:45kept them in your seven in heaven most weeks because that is a good defense and I
05:52know they don't really care about running the football but CJ Stroud was
05:54nails and has been very good he's been awesome most of the season so yeah I'm
05:59nervous about this game it's kind of why I said and I know you always are
06:02supposed to want to play the best and battle the best but at this stage of
06:05Shadour's development and if I were his fan base I'd be okay with Shadour not
06:10playing in this game especially after the pass rush I saw last week by Houston
06:15because there are going to be some vulnerabilities there and like you said if
06:19they're gonna rush for well they're dropping seven back there aren't a lot
06:23of places to go with the football when that's the case and that's gonna make
06:26it really hard on the Browns offense regardless of whose quarterback yeah so
06:30that is just that's one thing I'd be mindful of is you know that we know that
06:34Deshaun Watson's going to I thought he was always gonna be the starter but now
06:37that he we know he's gonna be the starter this is gonna be a really really tough
06:40challenge to manage for Watson and I think you know he's been given that week
06:45off I wonder if he can use his legs a little bit because by the end and I was
06:50told he's a little banged up you know last week anyway so that might have also
06:54factored into some of the decision making because it was not what the the
06:59Pittsburgh game he was having trouble escaping the pocket like we'd seen him
07:03escape the pocket this year he was banged up more than a little bit a little
07:06bit and you saw it in that Pittsburgh game huh he was getting tracked down from
07:09behind and so far this season he hadn't been you know he had been able to to get
07:14out and run and make those plays gets Pittsburgh he wasn't able to do that at
07:18all I wonder I wonder if he was banged up more than they were letting on well
07:21Mary Kay Cabot's gonna join us at 820 this morning I might have said Daryl by
07:24accident sorry Daryl's tomorrow at 820 today is Mary no Daryl is off off the
07:31schedule today in fact if he tries to get in here I'm gonna forcibly remove him
07:35from the premises if Daryl tries to get in here today Mary Kay Cabot is going to
07:39join us at 820 this morning I asked her about the thing that I asked you about the
07:42whole the whole rigmarole and by the way our buddy Emery Hunt big Shador guy he's
07:47gonna join us at nine o'clock CBS Sports football analyst one of our very
07:51favorite saw him watched him on TV the other night big fan of his he's gonna
07:55join us coming up at nine o'clock we'll talk to him about Shador Deshaun the
07:58future of the position it with the Cleveland Browns the current present with
08:01the position of the Cleveland Browns do you think that it was the right
08:04decision to go back to Watson and if Watson struggles on Sunday they lose their
08:09five and five how open to you are are you to the discussion about the young
08:13guy Shador Sanders 216-474-0092 and that wasn't the only thing Todd Munkin
08:18cleared up yesterday Ken Carman Anthony Lyman live in the fan
