00:00Like, who would have thought a few months ago if I told you that it wouldn't even be one of the first four quarterbacks starting their game this week?
00:06You would have said, no way.
00:08But Shanoor Sanders with the oblique, you know he's not going to play.
00:10Sounds like Dylan Gabriel probably not going to play.
00:13I mean, does Flacco – don't you have to have three quarterbacks in the preseason?
00:17What are the Browns going to do here?
00:19Yeah, it's a great question.
00:20I mean, we have seen – you know, I remember last year Trey Lance started – played an entire game in the preseason.
00:26So I guess anything can happen.
00:28But, yeah, it's a very interesting and strange situation.
00:31You know, this was the team that was kind of the talk of week one of the preseason, or mainly Shadur was the talk of week one of the preseason.
00:38All those eyeballs on that game, tuning in, and I – you know, you talk about people scrambling ahead of this game.
00:44Yeah, the Browns are scrambling, but I think, you know, TV viewers and NFL Network is scrambling too because all of a sudden that game got a whole lot less interesting.
00:53I'm sure there still will be some Shadur fans who do tune in to sort of hope that whoever is playing does poorly so it can help his case to move up the depth chart.
01:03But, yeah, that situation was a mess coming into the preseason.
01:06Even after week one when Shadur played relatively well, it's still a mess, and it's just even more of a mess now.
01:13And I think that, you know, kind of sums up the Cleveland Browns quarterback situation for the better part of, I don't know, you know, their existence or at least since they've come back into the NFL.
01:22Yeah, pretty much the case.
01:24And, you know, listen, Joe Flacco is – you know, has some stability, but the second that he drops back and gets sacked seven times in a game, Browns fans, Matt, are going to cry.
01:32And that's going to happen.
01:34I don't know if it's week one, week two, week three, but that's the problem here.
01:37Their win total is one of the lowest on the board in the NFL.
01:40Well, it's not quite in the category of the New Orleans Saints, but it is close.
01:45I mean, five and a half is their win total on the FanDuel Sportsbook.
01:48I mean, that's the only thing I think that I would even consider looking at here because I would not pick them to make the playoffs or win the North, and you're not going to lay 1250 to win 100.
01:57That just doesn't make sense.
01:59So can you make a case in that division that they get to six?
02:05If all things break right, it's kind of hard to do.
02:08It's very difficult to do.
02:09Their defense isn't bad.
02:11They still, on paper anyway, if they stay healthy, look like they're going to have a decent defense.
02:16But you're right in that division where you're dealing with three teams that could very easily make the playoffs, I think you can make a case for the other three teams to win the division.
02:25I mean, not that any of them are perfect.
02:27There's certainly flaws with the Bengals' defense or maybe the Steelers' quarterback situation in offense.
02:32But, yeah, it's going to be tough.
02:34You're not getting any cheap ones within your own division.
02:36And when your quarterback situation is as shaky as the Browns' looks like it's going to be, even those decent skilled players you have on offense, and they have a couple, and we don't know what the running back room exactly is going to shake out to look like.
02:50But it's just tough.
02:52It's tough to bank on it.
02:53So, yeah, I think this team is going to be once again in the contention for the number one pick, unfortunately.
02:58So, yeah, I think this team is going to be once again in the contention for the number one pick, unfortunately.
02:59So, yeah, I think this team is going to be once again in the contention for the number one pick.

03:03So, yeah, I think this team is going to be once again in the contention for the number one pick.
03:04So, yeah, I think this team is going to be the best team.
03:05So, yeah, I think this team is going to be the best team.
03:06So, yeah, I think this team is going to be the best team.
