Daryl Ruiter joins Ken Carman and Anthony Lima to break down the Browns' 53-man roster fallout, predicting Luke Floriea clears waivers onto the practice squad and putting Deshaun Watson's runway at four to six weeks rather than a quick two-game hook. He shares some fun with the suspicious timing of Dillon Gabriel's back injury without going full conspiracy, and flags real concerns about depth on both lines and in the secondary after a rough preseason. Ruiter also weighs in on Austin Barber's chances of overtaking Teven Jenkins at guard and lands on six to eight wins as a realistic ceiling for this year's roster.
