Todd Monken's twist with QB among Browns training camp Day 10 takeaways
The Browns reached Day 10 of training camp, which included a twist at the quarterback spot and an impressive linemen fight. Here's our thoughts.
On Day 10 of training camp, Coach Todd Monken made a notable shift in the quarterback situation for the Cleveland Browns. Initially, Shdeur Sanders was designated for No. 1 quarterback reps, but this plan changed during a walk-through around noon. Monken wanted to see Deshaun Watson in those reps instead, according to a team spokesman.
The practice concluded with Watson receiving the majority of the No. 1 offensive reps on consecutive days. This decision implies that Watson is likely to start against the Chicago Bears on August 15. Monken emphasized the importance of handling the smoke in Monken's quarterback system, which refers to a quarterback's ability to manage the complexities of the game, including pre-snap adjustments.
While Sanders has shown some improvement, Monken and his staff have been frustrated with his struggles in pre-snap situations. Meanwhile, Spencer Fano's progression on the offensive line has been notable, as he showed his capabilities against Jared Verse in an 11-on-11 drill, ultimately securing the left tackle position.
