00:00Okay, some of it's going to be tied to today's games, and we're going to break down Jets,
00:08Jets, Titans in a bit, but I'll tell you where I share your feeling, but with a different
00:11team.
00:12Okay.
00:13Browns.
00:14I mean, you, I don't know if it's confirmation bias, full nightmare, disaster panic.
00:19They have a quarterback that does not work with their head coach, who I think's won multiple
00:23coaches of the years in Kevin Stefanski, and at times this sometimes, sometimes good coaches
00:27get fired when it's completely out of their control.
00:29I think Watson is washed.
00:31I mentioned being out on the Browns coming into this year.
00:33The Cowboys were one of my favorite bets in week number one.
00:36I know they were one of yours as well, Donnie.
00:38I look at the board today, and the more I look at it, I don't know why Jags minus three
00:41isn't on my card, and probably will be by the time we get out of here, because the other
00:44reason I'm panicked about the Browns, year over year at times, a defense can't maintain
00:49that level, and their defense for nine, 10 weeks was maybe the best this league has seen
00:53in two decades.
00:54Right.
00:55It's not going to be at that level.
00:56I'm panicked for the Browns.
00:57They are not making the playoffs, and they continue to have ... Tua could retire today,
01:01and Watson's contract is still worse.
01:02No, you're right.
01:03I mean, I'm not as concerned on Cleveland.
01:05Why?
01:06Because they got to the playoffs with a fourth string quarterback in terms of Joe Flacco.
01:09So again, I agree with you.
01:11I don't believe their defense is an elite unit.
01:13They fell off, certainly at the end of last year, got sliced and diced by CJ Stroud in
01:18regards to that matchup, but again, they did it with a backup quarterback.
01:22Jameis is a competent backup.
01:24So if you have to go to Jameis Winston to win ballgames, you can, because he's a veteran,
01:29and behind him is DTR.
01:31I mean, 38-year-old guys throwing for 300 yards.
01:35I'm not as panicked as Cleveland, as the Jets.
01:38I'm really not.
01:39I'm full panicked, because just, you take a look at the division that they're in.
01:42You can't lose games early on.
01:44You lost a game against the Dallas Cowboys, got absolutely hammered.
01:46You take a look at a game today, where I actually think they're going to get beat again, that's
01:49going to be another loss here, and this one will be an AFC loss.
01:51So if you're taking that sledgehammer, Joe, right?
01:53You go to the carnival, you swing it, you blast that bell, it goes up, it shoots through
01:57the bell all the way into outer space with the Browns for this one.
02:00Because here's the problem.
02:01Your quarterback makes $50 million plus guaranteed.
02:04He's still in the books for at least, what, two to three more years?
02:06And we're going to Jameis Winston, who's going to turn it over 30 times?
02:10Like the only way the Browns should be able to win is play great defense, have an athletic
02:13quarterback, make the plays you need.
02:15That's the opposite of Jameis William, Jameis Winston.
02:17It is.
02:18And ultimately, the fact that the panic meter is lower for the Browns, when we're saying
02:24we need to bench the richest contract in football, that is why that, to me, is at a complete
02:28disadvantage.
02:29No, because, again, do you have players that could back it up and still get the productivity
02:33that you had last year with a 38-year-old veteran?
02:36You might get an upgrade.
02:38You're telling me that, Jameis, if he goes out for 100 seconds-
02:40No, Joe.
02:41But Watson only was benched to seek-
02:42Joe Gutierrez.
02:43Watson was not benched.
02:44He got hurt.
02:45Do you think that they will bench Deshaun Watson?
02:47Well, here's the thing.
02:48If he goes out today and throws for 169 yards and two interceptions, and he can't throw
02:53for over 200 yards with Jerry Judy and Amari Cooper and Njoku, what are you going to do?
02:58You had Joe Flacco.
02:59He doesn't have a 300-yard performance in a Browns uniform.
03:03And Joe Flacco had four.
03:04Meanwhile, you're calm, cool, and collected on this team.
03:07Because-
03:08He's getting riled up about a calm situation.
03:09No, because you're getting the negative out of the way.
03:13Okay?
03:14That's the thing.
03:15Meaning, if they have to turn to a backup-
03:16Are you taking him today?
03:17You know what?
03:18No, no, no.
03:19What?
03:20What?
03:21What?
03:22What?
