00:00 the money line.

00:03 So from an AFC North divisional duel on Thursday to an AFC North divisional duel on Sunday

00:08 afternoon in Cleveland, the Browns host the Steelers and at this moment, Cleveland remains

00:15 a favorite laying a point and a half minus one 22 or so on the money line updated on

00:21 this Friday morning DRS as the Browns get ready to host the Steelers.

00:25 But of course, we have seen a tremendous amount of movement in this game.

00:29 The injuries in the AFC North Donnie, specifically at the quarterback spot, going to be the story

00:34 here in week number 11.

00:36 Joe Burrow last night, the news from Deshaun Watson earlier this week, a broken bone in

00:41 his right throwing shoulder.

00:43 He is now sidelined for the remainder of 2023.

00:46 After Watson was put on the IR, the line worked to two and a half in favor of the Browns,

00:52 then dropped by a full point again once it wasn't PJ Walker named the starter for Cleveland,

00:58 but the rookie quarterback, Donnie, the fifth round draft pick out of UCLA this past April,

01:02 Dorian Thompson Robinson.

01:04 Now just a point and a half spread in favor of the Browns and Donnie, that total screaming

01:09 down that's an Iowa Minnesota number brother, 32 and a half the over under on Sunday in

01:14 Cleveland.

01:15 Yeah, we had a nice segment yesterday here when we were going over and talking about,

01:19 you know, what made sense, what made didn't make sense here with the starting quarterbacks.

01:23 However, when you're lining this game up, I don't understand this because if I'm being

01:27 honest, PJ Walker was two and one as the starting quarterback here for the Cleveland Browns

01:32 lost a close game on the road.

01:33 I know a late interception there to the Seattle Seahawks, but having said that, he still had

01:37 a winning record here and was playing decent football.

01:40 The fact that you're going to the young rookie here doesn't make any sense to me.

01:43 You still have a legitimate chance to make the playoffs.

01:44 No, I do.

01:45 I think PJ Walker starts or DTR starts.

01:47 Does it matter?

01:48 And they win a Super Bowl.

01:49 No, I don't.

01:50 If they make it in the playoffs, they're out round number one, but that's not the point

01:52 here.

01:53 You still have to get to the playoffs and keep that success going.

01:55 You have a very good defense.

01:56 You have playmakers that are stepping up on offense here.

01:59 The only time I saw DTR play, he was terrible against the Ravens.

02:02 I get it.

02:03 He started a football game where he basically was called in at 11 a.m.

02:06 Hey, by the way, Deshaun doesn't want to play.

02:08 Do you want to play today?

02:09 Sure.

02:10 I'll go in there and play.

02:11 He was a disaster against the Baltimore Ravens.

02:12 He's going to have a full week of practice here knowing he's the starter.

02:15 That's going to help.

02:16 But why do we go to him so quickly?

02:18 Like why isn't this, hey, let's give PJ Walker a shot this weekend.

02:21 If he looks bad, sure.

02:22 We'll just go to the bench and the rookie will play the rest of the way.

02:24 If you play the rookie in this game and he plays terribly against the Pittsburgh Steelers

02:28 and you lose that game, do you just ride him out?

02:31 Do you go back to PJ Walker and admit that you made a mistake at this point?

02:34 I'm just shocked by this.

02:35 This is a winnable football game and PJ Walker has won football games this season for your

02:40 franchise.

02:41 I was shocked when I heard it here and I thought it was a mistake.

02:43 Like, oh, that just must be the sports books just putting in like a marker because that

02:47 one quarterback started before.

02:48 They just weren't going to put a TBD in there.

02:50 But when I found out DTR was going to be the starter, I was surprised and not pleasantly

02:54 surprised.
