Daryl Ruiter joins Ken and Anthony from Browns camp, where 16 players missed practice, including a scary cart-off for Sam Kamara, though Ruiter notes Todd Monken stays tight-lipped on injury details. He breaks down the quarterback competition, saying he'd start Shedeur Sanders in Week 1 given his marked improvement since spring, even as he expects the Browns to go a different direction. Ruiter also argues the Jared Verse-for-Myles Garrett trade makes the Browns better positioned long-term, pointing to their lopsided Patriots loss as proof sacks alone don't win games, and calls the current rebuild talent-driven rather than asset-driven. He closes by raving about rookie receivers Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion, the most excited he's been about a Browns receiver duo since Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry.
