00:03 - But Nick Chubb is your offense,

00:04 at least until Deshaun Watson finds anything close

00:08 to the form he had in 2020.

00:10 But DRS, I don't think that version

00:12 of Deshaun Watson is coming back anytime soon.

00:15 A devastating injury for Cleveland as an organization,

00:19 a devastating injury for Nick Chubb.

00:21 Because back in college, DRS,

00:23 when he was tearing things up for Georgia,

00:26 in October of 2015, he played in a game against Tennessee,

00:29 suffered a devastating gruesome knee injury

00:32 that thought that he was going to be done playing football.

00:35 That was Nick Chubb and how he evaluated that injury.

00:37 He worked his way back.

00:39 He was drafted in the National Football League.

00:41 He became the highest paid running back

00:42 in the National Football League.

00:44 As Donnie said, maybe the most pivotal running back

00:46 for an offense in the National Football League

00:49 to only suffer another gruesome knee injury last night.

00:52 As Kevin Stefanski, the head coach in Cleveland,

00:54 confirmed after the game,

00:56 Chubb is out for the remainder of this season, DRS.

00:58 A huge blow for the Browns

01:00 after such a strong start week number one in Cincy.

01:04 - Yeah, and you're right.

01:05 Your points are valid on Deshaun Watson.

01:06 It's not as if you just hand the offense over

01:08 to Deshaun Watson and say, "Let's take controls,"

01:09 which is that's what's going to happen.

01:11 You sort of shook it off last year.

01:12 Oh, the other Jacoby Brissett offense last year.

01:15 So it was hard for Deshaun Watson

01:16 to take over for Cleveland.

01:18 After that, that was ridiculous.

01:19 But we bought into that and said, "You know what?

01:20 "Give him a clean off season where he can come back."

01:22 You saw him again, number one.

01:24 Yes, they won the football game.

01:25 He still played poorly in that game.

01:26 Oh, well, it was a little bit rainy

01:28 and Deshaun said he was gripping the football

01:30 a little bit too tight.

01:31 And that's why he was off target.

01:32 What's the excuse last night at this point?

01:34 You gave away two touchdowns there for yourself

01:36 going the other way,

01:37 which cost your football team the game.

01:39 22 of 40, 235 yards, 5.9 yards per attempt.

01:44 That's not good enough.

01:45 And an embarrassing QBR of 16.5.

01:49 Again, you could be a 16.5 QBR

01:51 when you're a fourth round pick

01:53 getting forced into game time action

01:55 when you're not ready to play as a rookie.

01:57 As a seasoned veteran who was playing at an MVP level

02:00 to get that much money,

02:01 and this is what we're getting here.

02:02 And also, you can't say,

02:03 "Well, last night he didn't have his top wide receiver."

02:05 No, Mario Cooper played last night.

02:07 Seven catches, 90 yards.

02:08 There's no excuses across the board.

02:10 His play has been underwhelming since he got there.

02:12 And next year, did you know, Ben,

02:14 $64 million cap hit for Deshaun Watson.

02:19 And based on the injury he saw from Nick Chubb,

02:21 I'm sure we'll probably get Dr. Chow on

02:23 a little bit later in the week.

02:24 Who knows when he's coming back or if he's coming back.
