Jared Verse Is Not Myles Garrett, But That Might Be the Point

from The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima

The hosts break down why comparing Verse to Garrett sack-for-sack is the wrong way to judge this trade, arguing that Cleveland was never going to win with a roster built entirely around one transcendent pass rusher who was not the heart and soul of the locker room anyway. Greg Beacham, who covers the Rams for the AP, calls Verse a top ten pass rusher already and someone who has all the ingredients to be one of the best in the league, which has the hosts cautiously optimistic but trying hard to keep expectations in check. The bigger picture here is six years of a young, hungry, vocal leader on a defense that finally has a chance to build real culture around someone who actually wants to be there.
