  • Ads ads ads

    This is a good show but there are so many ads. It opens with 1:30-2 minutes worth of ads. At some random point in the middle, it’s the same thing. The episode ends with even more ads, at least two minutes worth. Basically it’s 8 minutes worth of show and at least 5 minutes worth of ads.

  • Best talkshow in Cleveland

    Y’all do a great job very entertaining very informative ..

    I do have one observation since when has Mary Kay Cabot become the defender of Deshaun Watson ? Of course she’ll deny it because it’s her style, but she sure enjoys defending our QB1 ..

    This has nothing to do with his quarterbacking skills. We all seem to also forget our hometown hero is a a sexual predator

  • Commercials ruin it

    The show is good and the guys have solid takes with great interviews. However, the way the segments load up is unbearable. Ten minutes of content with 3-4 minutes of commercial breaks repeating the same thing throughout. Can’t listen anymore until they fix this. No other legit podcasts are formatted this way

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Daryl Ruiter on the QB Battle, Roster Bubbles, and Jose Ramirez's Health
Q: Should Jose Ramirez be shut down?
The discussion centers on Ramirez returning too soon and whether sitting him for a couple of weeks to let the hand heal could be better for the team long term, with options including an injured list stay or specialist follow-up.
Daryl Ruiter on the QB Battle, Roster Bubbles, and Jose Ramirez's Health
Q: Who's on the bubble going into tomorrow, Daryl?
Daryl suggests the bubble won't truly form until the third preseason game, with focus on defensive line depth, cornerback rotation, and the fourth to sixth wide receiver spots as key battles.
Nathan Zegura Breaks Down the Browns' Wide-Open QB Battle
Q: Nathan, overall, did you notice or what were the key differences between the two quarterbacks, both for good and for bad?
The main differences center on consistency before the snap versus after the snap, with Watson showing steadiness pre-snap and Sanders excelling once the ball is snapped, especially in his mid-to-long range throws and pocket poise.
Nathan Zegura: Deshaun Watson's Arm Talent Still "Very High Level"
Q: What are your thoughts on the arm talent versus accuracy for Deshaun Watson this camp?
Watson's arm talent remains elite and his high-level ability is evident, but accuracy and day-to-day consistency have been the bigger questions this camp.
Hour 4: Nathan Zegura Breaks Down Browns QB Battle and Jared Verse's Impact
Q: Nathan, what are the good and bad of both these quarterbacks and what have you distinguished between them?
Deshaun Watson shows elite arm talent but struggles with consistency and accuracy from day to day, while Shedeur Sanders has been more consistent in action and downfield throwing, implying a potential edge in operation and tempo, though neither has locked in the starter yet.
