Episode Notes

Zac Jackson of The Athletic joins the show straight out of Browns training camp to answer the five questions that decide Cleveland's 2026 season. Is there any hope for better than mediocre play under center, and how does the Shedeur Sanders vs. Deshaun Watson competition actually end? Is Quinshon Judkins a true three-down workhorse now that he is healthy, and is Dylan Sampson really the next man up? Are rookies KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston already the best receivers on this roster? Is Jerry Jeudy still a Brown at the end of the year? And should Harold Fannin be the focal point of the entire offense? Zac has watched every practice, so this is what the beat actually sees, not what the depth chart says.
