Ken says the Browns' surprising 3-1 start is too enjoyable to nitpick, while Lima argues the team is surely dealing with penalties and defensive line depth behind closed doors. Callers hammer Ken for brushing off the penalties and challenge Lima's take that Shedeur Sanders doesn't need development at 3-1, pointing to Brock Purdy as proof that sitting works. The hosts also ask whether the Browns have anything left to prove with the league still making them underdogs against the Jets.
