Todd Monken Opens Up on Deshaun Watson, Taylen Green and Week One
About this episode
Head coach Todd Monken joins the show to break down his QB decision, saying Deshaun Watson earned the start through his "full body of work" and ability to operate on the road, while confirming Taylen Green could still see a package of plays given his skill set. Monken addresses the fallout from Watson's rough preseason outing against the Bills, describing a direct conversation where the QB admitted he hadn't handled things well, and praises Shedeur Sanders' growth and diligence even in a backup role. He also touches on the offensive line overhaul, his weekly-captain system, fourth-down aggressiveness, and gives his honest take on the Michigan-Western Michigan clock controversy.
