Daryl Ruiter joins the show to break down Sunday's matchup against Carolina's high-flying offense, insisting fans shouldn't panic about Jared Verse's lack of sacks since the Browns' pressure is coming from a full defensive line rather than one dominant player. He also weighs in on how Deshaun Watson will handle adversity for the first time this season and whether fans will boo if the offense struggles early. Ruiter closes by defending the Guardians' playoff berth as a remarkable achievement given their payroll and debating whether winning the division or riding wild card momentum sets them up better for October.
