Joe Thomas Says Losing Myles Garrett Is Browns' Biggest Defensive Hit

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima react to Joe Thomas naming the defense, not the offense, as Todd Monken's biggest challenge this season, agreeing that losing the best pass rusher in football history makes Mason Graham and the rest of the defensive line much harder to evaluate going forward. They debate whether Jared Verse's leadership can offset losing Myles Garrett's pure sack production, while questioning how much the locker room actually misses Garrett emotionally given his more reserved personality. The conversation shifts to a viral graphic comparing Shedeur Sanders' rough rookie stats to Hall of Fame quarterbacks like Peyton Manning and Troy Aikman, with Ken arguing the comparison is silly but not worth getting mad about since fans made similar reaches for Baker Mayfield and Evan Mobley in the past. They close by previewing Justin Termini's 9 o'clock segment on the worsening sports gambling scandal landscape.
