Would Todd Monken Actually Bench Deshaun Watson by Week 3?
About this episode
Ken Carman and Anthony Lima argue over whether Todd Monken would really pull the plug on Deshaun Watson just two weeks into the season, with Ken insisting Monken's inflexibility and gut-driven decision to start Watson week one means he sticks with him regardless of performance. Anthony pushes back that a disastrous 0-2 start with multiple picks would force Monken's hand, and the two debate whether it's easier to bench Watson for Shedeur Sanders than to go back to Watson afterward. They bring in Ryan Fitzpatrick's blunt take from Thursday night's broadcast and open the phone lines to see what fans think Monken owes his locker room.
