How Much Should We Care About Deshaun's Speeding Ticket?

About this episode

Ken and Anthony debate the Browns' defensive scheme with Jim Schwartz and Grant Delpit, arguing the loss of Myles Garrett forces more man coverage since the roster isn't built to survive playing zone. They pivot to Deshaun Watson getting caught going 86 in a 60, using it to unpack whether athletes get preferential treatment from police and how much leniency fans extend to speeding stars depending on team success. The segment closes by teasing Mary Kay Cabot's upcoming appearance and a question about whether Guardians manager Stephen Vogt deserves criticism if the team's slide continues.

I'm not sure how many games the Browns will win, but I know they can go one and oh this week. And then he gives a whole long detail on his Twitter and I'm not going to read all that. I'm sorry that happened. But Coach Lance agrees I'm down with it. I'll read it during a break. I just saw it a second. I hope he walks into his classroom today and guarantees a win to his children. They're older. They could take it. No, that's when they can't take it. Right? I mean, there's the levels of rejection and heist. Is he teaching high school? I believe so. I don't know what the hell he teaches. I will say one thing about... I'm going to teach life lessons. Well, just taking one in no weeks. Well, and this will kind of carry over to what we're talking about this segment is I heard Nick

Wilson talking again. I disagree with Ross Tucker. I think he would pass a lie detector test on saying eight wins. Whatever. I do think that if you told me right before kick off, hey, the Browns just traded for Miles Garrett and Jim Schwartz. I'd say, okay, maybe they can win games. That would change things. I do think until I see it without those guys, it's hard for me to believe the defense is going to be right where it was last year. That's that's I well again, because you don't have him, which another thing I want to bring up this possible bills offer that Tom Pellicero reported about the coming up at seven 20 as well as a guy who everybody seems to not liking all he's done is make your team better. I want to get into that coming up, but I do think that that is a valid concern. How much I asked Grant Delbert about this in the previous show last night, who's a wonderful player, a really wonderful player. And he's a wonderful interview. We spent 12 minutes wonderful player, really wonderful player. We spent 12 minutes together. They were absolutely fantastic. He's just I just love talking to him, but I asked him, I go,

you're going to run more zone this year because you don't have miles. I mean, let's call it what it is like Jared versus fine player, but he's miles miles in one to one. And he said, no, we're going to run. I basically said they're going to run as much zone as they've ran already, which is like, all right, I trust you. I trust Enzel. I want to trust a manual, make Neil Warren, but he's a rookie just a baby. Miles Harden, sorry, I do not trust right now Tyson Campbell. That's the reason you traded for the guy. So now I can't, you know, this is one of the things that go with this. I can't just turn into zone all of a sudden because then I'm creating a problem, which I tried to fix by making the trade for Tyson Campbell, who's played well for you in the half season that he was here. So you can't just go straight zone. If you go straight zone, then we're creating more problems for ourselves. So there has to be more men. You got two corners that are both healthy to start the season. You're going to play a lot more man. You have a safety who's comfortable in that. You're going to play more man, a veteran, a seven year vet. Hopefully a man you'll make Neil Warren's the same way. I'm out of words to say about this one. I didn't mean for it. It started. You

better get even we start. Nidia talking about coverage is things like that. I got a little coco I got a call coach. Mark. He knows about the coverages. I just I'm along for the ride on this. I'm more of a trenches guy. You know that, but it's just plain and simple. I didn't trade for you could have just held on to great news. Some if you wanted to sit there and play zone. I mean, Denzel can play anything. He's he's an elite one, but you know, the other guys, you got to put them in a position where they're going to succeed. Okay, well, weak one against Trevor Lawrence. I think you can you can definitely quote unquote get away with it. I think there's some quarterbacks. You can also get away with it this year while maybe you're evaluating some of your younger guys behind your veterans that you know are proven. How do you like that? So it is a schedule that's a little bit advantageous to get away with things because if you have a quarterback who can put it on you like, yeah, you sit back there and man and you don't have 95 buzzing around the quarter. It's good, but is he going to be like 95? We'll have to see that is going to create a problem for you if you're

just in zone because they're going to slant you to death. All right, that all said can I ask your question 86 and a 60. Sean Watson did 86 and a 60 was all over the news last night. Do we have to make a big deal about this or we only make it a big deal when when Miles doesn't do it or we forced to make a big deal because it's a bronze player that got caught speeding at an excessive rate. It's it's always newsworthy. It's definitely noteworthy when these guys are flying balls and have the conversations again and do all that stuff because I do think that popularity like you don't want anybody else to possibly affect the safety of anybody else. Nobody wants that, but there is something to be said for you know, you have this guy who's this future Hall of Famer who is the cornerstone of the franchise while he was here and freaking out and he did have a serious car accident once. Oh, yeah. Uh, us freaking out about that to basically jokes being made on the internet about the Sean Watson going 86 and a 60.

Timing of the tweet could have been a little bit better for him, but either way, you understand. It's always going to be noted. Obviously, Shadora when he was speeding, he was over 101. He was in the 90s and other time. Like it's always going to be brought up. Um, there is obviously a a a certain number of, you know, people in a city. They don't even care about the Browns and when they hear when they hear about an athlete doing this, they want the book thrown at him every time because they know what would happen if it were them. We made a how much trouble they would get in what do you mean by that? They're just always people think athletes gets the preferential treatment. I don't think they do it anymore. Well, not nearly. I don't think that it's it's not nearly what it used to be. That's for sure. But you, I mean, it's not nearly what it used to be, but you really can anymore when you have body cams and stuff like that. Like again, if you was going, I could see if he were going 72 and a six, you're like, Hey, slow it down. You know, what I mean? Like that you can cut 86 and a 60. What are you going to do? You can't do nothing about it. I mean, the last time miles got pulled over, I mean, didn't didn't people rip the copper being a little too understanding tonight with too nice. Remember that? Yeah. Didn't happen with

shit or two. Yeah, that's another one. People got upset about so you can't really cut a guy. But there is a different like you hear the cops talk to the athletes. They are way different than they are with a lot of normal interactions with people in society. So it's probably possible. Yes, I understand. And I think I think there is a segment of the population that is like you can never take it too easy on athletes. You have to go even harder at athletes because they are influencers. They they set the tone. They they if you if you catch them and you actually take them in or, you know, throw the book at them, then it would actually cause more people to be safer. There is that thought. I don't know if I believe it. I don't know if I necessarily believe any of that. But people are sick and tired of athletes, you know, getting and especially on bad especially on bad football teams. If you go to the Super Bowl, I think there's a little more leniency when it comes to honestly, I like. Yeah, but you and I were kids when when Michael Irvin was I mean, facing jail time, facing real prison. And I mean, we still make jokes about skiing all the time.

Like there's still I don't know if that's such a deterrent from committing hard, possibly committing hard crimes or crimes in general. What I'm saying is if the Browns were to win the Super Bowl and the starting quarterback gets pulled over that off season, fans will not care to the level of if they're only 16 0 and 17 fans will care more. It's just I fair point. I'll Hunter Percent believe that fair point. Yeah, but I just when I saw it yesterday, I kind of like rolled my eyes went, Oh, we got to do this again. And I saw it. I'm like, man, a lot of people are just making jokes at his expense about 86 and a 60. And well, 86 86 and a 60 is probably a lot more relatable than 100 when guys are doing 100. The percentage of people in the area that have that will do 100 casually or whatever or who've done it once in their life. It starts to drop exponentially. There are people who've never seen that side of 90 or 100. I'll miss. I'll

tell you this. It wasn't adjustment when I got in the EV. Like when you because you got a motor going, it's like you can hear the motor throttling up and working harder to get you over 80, to get you over 90, to get you over 100. Like that's why you don't hear nothing. And then all of a sudden I looked down and it took me like a week to get like, Oh, I'm going 87. I better. Woo, I didn't realize this. Like you don't read. You just don't realize it. Yeah. Well, this was a 2022 gram. You can definitely hear that. Yeah. You can definitely hear that power. Yeah. Well, that's it for that. All right. Coming up at 820. Merrick. I haven't got to join us on the show at 745. John wants to know if there should be any criticism that Stephen vote deserves if things go south on the Cleveland Guardians after what happened about last night. And why don't you like the guy? All he's done is make your team better. Ken Karmann, Anthony Lyme, it takes a week to work in the implied new year in Washington minutes.
