All right guys, training camp officially starts tomorrow for the Cleveland Browns, but veterans are reporting today. The Browns have already tweeted out videos of Wyatt Teller and Joe Flacco reporting to camp for business. And a question I wanted to ask you guys to start. We all get excited for the start of football season, right? It means it’s right around the corner in some capacity and tag board’s not working right now, so screw social news desk. The question I had for you guys, while I was in the airport coming back, I saw a mixed review online of excitement levels for training camp. Some people were in the camp that, oh my God, the Browns have a 4 person quarterback battle. We haven’t had a quarterback battle or true quarterback battle in a while, and that overtakes everything else in terms of a training camp excitement meter. Like that is the number one thing you’re looking forward to. I saw other people who said, The Browns are probably gonna suck this year. They have Miles, Garrett, Denzel Ward, a bunch of guys, so we don’t really know how good they are, how good they’re going to be. I just can’t get excited for a season like that. So Tyvis, Gee, Boll, how do you think? Or where is your interest level in training camp for the Browns in terms of those two ends of the spectrum quarterback battle and that interest trumps everything or the team may stink so I, I really can’t buy into it. Tyvis G. I mean, I, I’m bought into it because I mean I love the game of football and I love the Cleveland Browns. I mean, the first thing everybody wants to know is the quarterback situation, you know, who’s gonna be the starting quarterback? Is it gonna be Flacco? Is it gonna be Pickett? So I think I’m intrigued by that. I also want to see what happens with the rookies because, you know, there’s so many reports that — Dylan Gabriel is just unbelievably getting the playbook down and we stop
— that? I know, listen, — can we stop that
— I got this. Just what I gotta, I gotta report to the streets. Go ahead. They saying that this man just unbelievable. He gets the playbook. He just, he knows it. He picked it up so fast. So I just want to see what he does against other teams like in practice, right, whatever. I wanna see them joint practices. I wanna see what happens. I wanna see what happens with Shadoor Sanders. Obviously, Shadoor has been doing everything right and I just want to see if it ever pays dividends. If he ever gets this opportunity to run with the twos, the ones, um, and see if he can make some plays there. Outside of that quarterback room, now I’m thinking about Dillon Samson. It was, it was all about Quinshaw Jenkins, but obviously with the things that he got off the field, it turned into Samson. I wanna talk to Samson, so I wanna see what he got going on this year, how they’re gonna use him and Jerome Ford, um. Can he be a back that can be a number one back or is Jerome Ford going to be the feature back and Samson’s gonna, you know, get some plays here and there, defensive side of the ball, I am. I’m, listen, this is for Earl, your boy. I got, I got money on him this year. I think he’s going to have a bounce back season. I really do. You have a good season, you have a bad season, but now it’s called back season, and when you at your back season, you have no choice but to go out there and put on a good performance. So I’m really interested to see what Martin. does this season, um, coming off of a rough season that he had last year and lastly Carson Swesinger is the last person that I’m looking at because of the simple fact that we don’t have JLK and they drafted him pretty high as a JLK replacement, so I wanna see what happens in that linebacker room between him and my boy Jerome Baker. Shout out Jerome Baker, the touchdown maker. Wrong Jerome Baker, — but he plays
— defense. He gonna be getting 6 scoop and score Jerome Baker, man, listen, man, you know the reason why people ain’t excited about it. It’s because there’s a lot of people with abs walking around here in shape. And you know what abs means, that’s the anybody but Shaor uh collaboration. There’s a lot of people running around here been doing a lot of sit-ups and crunches with these abs for Kenny Pickett. Just doing and anybody but anybody but you do in that mix. Now the people that that understand what the what the what the assignment is and understood what the film work looked like and understood what it is are excited to see what 12 can do. Now let’s get to this right. See now, listen, we played nice during the regular season. It’s the training camp now. We played nice. We got everybody, everybody got their money off. They got their opinions off, but here’s what we’re gonna do today. Um, we’re gonna establish on the show. We’re gonna stop pretending Kenny Pick is good like that. That’s what we’re gonna just straight up do. Like we’re supposed to just, we’re supposed to give him a chance. No, we’re gonna stop with all these charity speeches. I, I keep feeling like this is, this is a humanitarian effect right here. This is the, this is a humanitarian lifetime achievement award award. When you ask somebody why you why they believe that Kenny Pickett. Should be the starting quarterback. They can’t give you numbers, they can’t give you throws, they can’t give you win loss records, they can’t give you no accolades. All they can give you is Matt Canada. How was you starting because Mac Canada was that bad? I don’t, I don’t understand how that works, how that gets down with it, right? So then, the, now we’ve decided that Dylan Gabriel’s a supercomputer. We didn’t decided Dylan Gabriel, he is a he is a he is a MacBook Pro on 5000. He understands every play. He speaks 7 languages. He throws the football through a wall, and on top of that, he got more reps than anybody in the world because he won the spelling bee when he was in 6th grade. I’m gonna tell you what, man, this is great around here, this is beautiful. Guess what, man, stop all that. Tomorrow and today we’re gonna get an opportunity to see what it is. There’s been a lot of random narratives floating around about why Kenny Pickett deserve it. This ain’t charity. Um, Kenny Pickett is gonna have to get out there and earn his spot just like anybody else is. And one more thing that I’m tired of, I’m not gonna sit around and and expect the Cleveland the Cleveland Browns should not be operating on nobody’s expectation levels. I think we do that way too much. We We I expect them to be terrible and 3, listen, that ain’t what the, that ain’t what the job is. If the Browns are expecting to be terrible, maybe they need to look at the front office and the coach and say that they ain’t got the right people in charge, if that’s what they, they, they selling you, um, because you went 3, you won 3 games last year. You’ve been up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down, and I refuse to sit here and cover the Cleveland Browns for 2026, and the best thing we can look forward to is Kevin Saansky gets to run the places he likes. That ain’t get that don’t do nothing for me. Katie Pickett gets another opportunity to start his career that don’t do nothing for me and we got a number one pick possibly next year. That sure as hell don’t do nothing for me. It’s about this year’s show. Improving and guess what? The dudes gonna have to earn it. They keep we keep writing these dudes into the Hall of Fame. Kev, you’re gonna have to do something this year. Andrew Bear, you better hope Dillon Sampson do something. And as far as these quarterbacks go, uh, yeah, I’m not gonna keep pretending that Kenny Pinkett is the guy because we, we’ve been convincing ourselves that for what, 4 months now? No. — Who
— is we? Yeah, I think there’s like 2 people, we turn it into we. I don’t know. Adii one. She’s the only one. — Mary
— Kay 2, but Mary Kay has has said she thinks he’s gonna be the starter, not that she thinks he’s good. Jason, if you’re not good, why you starting? — Jason
— Lloyd nobody’s good. Jason, — we
— don’t see that. — You think Jason thinks Kenny
— Pickett is good? No, no, — he said he’s
— starting. No, Jason said that he said yesterday that Flacco was should be the starter, but. — He believes he
— thinks the Browns are gonna start. — That doesn’t mean he
— thinks he’s good. But here’s the thing, that’s fraudulent. But you’re accusing people of having narratives. No, no, no, you’re, you’re being a hater of Dilan Gabriel. Are you, no, I just said he’s not a supercomputer. Well, I don’t know what he is. — I
— know nothing about. So here’s what I’m saying. Here’s the hating on him. No, that’s not hate. Yes it was. That’s not. Here’s the thing. I’ve been I’ve been called a hater for much less than you said. First of all, if you go back to the beginning of time, I said if Dillon Gabriel come out here and throw the ball and ball out, I’ll give him credit for it. The problem is when, when if Shadora Sanders’ balls is diminished, I, I just think he got to stop with that. That has nothing to do with the Browns. Because why don’t he don’t, is he getting first team reps? He has not gotten first. OK, when they talk about it, don’t they say he’s on the little small field over there? He’s on the opposite of the field. — I don’t
— care. You’re, you keep I didn’t write that. You keep talking about what fans are saying or what media is saying. That doesn’t matter. You think, do you think the Browns are purposely trying to sabotage? Hold on. Here’s what I think about the Browns. When it comes to everything that they’ve done in the past, they’ve been incompetent. That’s what I think about them. And here’s the thing, I’m not giving them. Pass on none of them quarterbacks. I’m not saying you should. So my thing is, why would I give them the benefit of the doubt or Cleveland Browns — to know what a quarterback looks like and they have done it
— backwards. I’m asking is, — do you think they’re purposely sabotaging your door
— Sanders? Here’s what I think. If you’re gonna have a competition, he should be given an opportunity to show what he can do. And he will, and if he is not given an opportunity to show what he can do, then then you’re sitting here like this, like, OK, well, what are we doing here? Because, because if, if people are telling me that we are going to be bad, play Kenny Pickett or Joe Flacco for 12 weeks, and we OK with that? Well, who is OK with that? — There’s nobody OK with
— that? Who has said, I keep telling you the people that’s OK with that. Adi Adii again, Adii is the only one that thinks Kenny Pickett’s good. She’s entitled to her opinion just like we are. No, no, I, Mary Kay says Kenny Pinkett should have been playing to start too. I, I, I don’t, I don’t think she’s ever said he’s a good player. Maybe she has. Jason certainly hasn’t said Kenny Pinkett. He said, I, I was on what I’m saying is why are we discussing what other media members are saying? That’s irrelevant. It’s irrelevant to what’s gonna happen on the field. Or whether or not you think excuse me, — the
— water is so disgusting. I just think we’ve spent so much time talking about the media is doing this or everybody’s, but I, I just don’t think that matters. All that matters is what the Browns are doing. Oh yes, it does. What, so here’s the thing. I don’t think there’s, I don’t believe there’s like an anti-hado. Oh, there’s definitely is, uh, I, — I don’t believe
— that inside the building. Oh you talking about the Browns or you talking about other places? I’m not saying there’s nobody who’s anti-Shado. I don’t think there’s this great media contingent. I, I will say this, there’s probably about There, there’s maybe, see, see, and it’s not like people are gonna come out and say he’s trash. Let’s just keep it real. Let’s be honest, we’re having an honest conversation, but if he throws the ball and he’s done well, oh, it’s just that was just that was just practice. That’s, that was just practice on count. If you say he’s, he’s looked good, he’s throwing the ball. Oh no, that was on the other field, that was on the other field. Um, oh well, he’s looked good with with the reps he’s given, but he hasn’t got first team reps though. — There’s this level of
— who’s saying that I just don’t know who’s if people are saying that I can give you, I don’t know, but I’m not saying that, — so I don’t know
— what are you saying like diminishing the sur the only person that ever, it’s only been about. Two or three people that we’ve had on as guests that I feel has ever like downplayed should do it. Adii did it, uh, — but I didn’t even
— I don’t think — she did
— that. Yes, she did. She said we need to stop talking about what somebody in in in a t-shirt did against guys that’s going to be going to the factory to work out? That’s a fact. — But it’s
— also diminishing. I wanna say it. The, the clip is there. People got stand on business. Mary Kay said, listen, he better be with Shiloh learning the playbook. I, I didn’t hear that. OK, if you’re saying, that’s fine. Listen, no, it’s not fine. OK, what I’m saying, what I’m saying is, do you think Mary Kay is really anti-S Shador Sanders? Do you really believe that? I could, listen, I, I can only go on what you said. It’s not my job to get inside your head and tell you what it is. So if she’s heard that he hasn’t, doesn’t know the playbook, — who
— here’s what I’m saying to you though. Here’s the very fine line with this. When you start talking about who understands and knows the playbook, unless you heard that from the head coach, unless you heard that from the offensive coordinator, unless you heard that from the quarterback coach or unless you were on the field and you saw him get to the line of scrimmage and say I don’t know what’s going on and the coach has to tell him, then that is your opinion. That is pure speculation in the game. That’s what we do. That’s what we’re, we’re all doing. And, and what, you know, yes, I, I guess I, I didn’t hear Mary Kay say it. If she said that, maybe she has information, maybe she doesn’t. She’s entitled to give an opinion that’s just like we are, you know, like you were making fun of the people that said Dylan Gabriel’s picking up the opposite, — but
— watch this. I’m not saying here’s what I’m saying, but the difference is this. I said, I stand on, guess what? If Dillon Gabriel come out here and show me that he’s throwing the ball well, I’m down for it because that that’s what counts, but here’s what I’m not gonna do. I’m not going to say that Dylan Gabriel is behind. Joe Flacco or whoever the case may be, because I’ve made up in my head that he, he doesn’t have the arm strength that they have or he doesn’t know his plays. I don’t know that. All I have to, all I can say is he’s right now a 3rd quarterback. Let’s see what he does when he gets on the field. And the only thing I’m saying is that what you just said about Dillon Gabriel, if someone. else had said that about the exact same thing about Shadoor Sanders, you would got pissed off about that and you would say they were a hater. No, — what about
— what if somebody had said what you just said about Dylan Gabriel, — the fact that he
— picked up the playbook, yeah, you were kind of making fun of it he was he he was he’s a if somebody, if somebody said the same thing about, oh my God, he made these plays. In practice, — but you ain’t
— got nothing, but we, we, but that’s happened. But that’s happened, right? But then you can’t blame somebody if they get pissed at you for what you said about. If you, if you, if they wanna, here’s the thing, if you want to say, hey, listen, Bush was, was Bush said that Dylan Gabriel is not a supercomputer, right? OK, well then you say, all right, well, Shadoor Sanders did not win the Super Bowl in practice. OK, all in the end I’ll speak for myself. I’m keep, I always keep it 100. You guys know that. I don’t give a rat’s ass what any of these guys are doing in practice. I think it’s very mean. I think it’s mostly meaningless. You don’t care about the joint practice. I mean, as you go along the way, it has a little more meaning, but. What are we learning in a mini camp? We as outside, yes. Oh, that’s all I’m saying. I think it’s good or bad for anybody. Hold on, wait, wait, let’s, there is things that you get to see people’s movements, you get to see the process and you get to see those things. And don’t get me wrong, equipment makes a difference, but in practice it don’t because it’s not like we’re going out and practice and we just knocking each other’s heads off. That’s not the case. You practice about the same as you do with t-shirts on it. Do and pass because you take care of each other. So the reason that I’m thinking that joint practice is — that because other teams don’t necessarily get that same
— message. That’s true that has more meaning. — I agree with you
— on top of that, the player, the coaches is calling the plays that they want to see. Like I need to see if we can run this when we go against this defense later on. So we’re gonna call actually what we want to run to where we get to the preseason games it’s gonna be very vanilla because you want to see people play fast. You want to see them play mistake free and not have to think about it. A lot of things. So those playbooks are very vanilla. So when you get out there to a game, all I’m looking for on the defensive side is can you cover and can you tackle? Can you run? That’s it. On the offensive side, when you get the ball in your hand, can you make a play as a quarterback? Can you predict, can you dictate what coverage they’re in and can you go to the right spot with the ball? That’s the only thing you can really do in a preseason game as far as all uh like who’s gonna be a star and all that. You, — you can’t really tell
— and you know what, I agree with a lot of what you said. First of all, The Browns have no guy that’s 100% certain of quarterback. None of these four guys. Joe’s old, Kenny Picketts has sucked in my opinion, and the other two guys haven’t played. So if the Browns don’t give an equal opportunity to all of them, that’s a huge mistake. I’m not ready to say they won’t just because Shaddoor didn’t get the opportunity in the priest in the, in the mini camps. I think it would be criminal. I’m with you. If he doesn’t get a legit opportunity to compete and potentially win this job. The idea, I. Agree with you. The idea of handing the job to Joe Flacco or Kenny Piggott is ludicrous. The idea of playing one of them 12 games unless it’s a really weird circumstance where one of them plays amazing and the team’s winning a ton of games is also ludicrous. I want to see Dillon Gabriel and I want to see Shaddoor Sanders both get a real opportunity to have a fair competition. I agree with that. That’s it. That’s the energy I, I want. I want, so, so I want stuff that counts like. Like there has been a a a atmosphere around this place of this don’t count. It’s about the stadium. — We’ll
— be bad I don’t agree with that. — I don’t like that
— we’ll be bad this year and yeah, — I clearly y’all know how I feel
— about you and Jason said it too. I think that’s bullshit. I agree with you. And and so and so my thing is I, I just have to be, I just have to be clear on it. Like all these people. Need to be earning something and that includes the people that’s running the organization. They’re sitting around and we rubbing their shoulders like these dudes is the end all be all and it and it irks me that you, you, you are, you’re saying to me that you’re picking guys. This, this, this is a, uh, this is a contradiction of what sports is Titus. If you’re gonna pick these guys in the draft and use draft capital on them, but then turn around. To say I’m not gonna use them. — I’m not even gonna see what you got
— you referring to the quarterback. Yeah. So the thing with the quarterbacks is it’s such, it’s such a, a, a touchy thing. It’s it’s not, first of all, there’s no one correct way to do it. But when it comes to the quarterback position, especially when you’re dealing with young quarterbacks, again, I was on record saying before this season started when Bernie was sitting right here, we always said that. You might not want to start none of these I don’t know if any of these quarterbacks is ready to come in. They want to start. Cam Ward is probably the closest, but I still think he got some stuff he needs to figure out. So yeah, he ain’t got no choice now. But with that being said, You can’t force the guy out there if he’s not ready. That’s right and I think that’s the thing that we gotta figure out is when are they ready? Like the door not running with the ones, clearly it’s something there, it’s something there that we don’t know that we can’t see from the outside looking in. You gotta be in the building to know, but it’s something there that they feel like he’s just not ready to run with the ones yet. And for some odd reason they felt Dillon was, and I think the only The reason that we get into these heated debates about the two quarterbacks is because we’re not there, we’re going off of pure speculation. If one quarterback runs ones and the other one doesn’t, but we watch videos and see that the that Sha door is lacing the ball and threading the needle on all these passes. Our thing is, well, if he’s duck that good, why can’t he go with the ones? That’s exactly how all of us feel and we automatically assume, OK, it must be a playbook thing, but we really don’t know, don’t. Nobody know unless Ge Bush is right, unless you Kevin or the OC or the quarterback because we don’t know what the situation is. So that is fair to say. But I’m not about to sit here and say, oh, we need to see them week one or week 2. No, they, we need to see them when they’re ready to go in because if you send them in too early, you’re gonna have a Bryce Young situation where it was a waste of time. You’re gonna get a false narrative for the quarterback, then you’re gonna rush to a decision that neither one of these guys is. And you’re gonna force yourself to go get another quarterback. Now you wasted two draft picks on two quarterbacks that you could have had that probably could potentially be good, but you already gonna skip over them for next year’s quarterback. So that’s why to me this whole thing is very delicate and I’m trying to just let it just play out. I’m trying to trust Kevin Spowski’s in their judgment on this for one. You know what’s funny? We’ve been talking about this for 20 some odd minutes. 22 minutes talking about, you know, are you excited for training or are you not? We haven’t once mentioned their first draft pick, Mason Graham. The most underappreciated top five, — I
— don’t appreciate it. I don’t know if he deserves to be appreciated. We’ll see there’s no talk about him at all. First of all, — you never even got to your whole
— answer to. I didn’t stopped Bush with his rant and we. So real quick, one last thing I want to say is the one, the one media agenda that I do, didn’t even really bring, well, he did, he did a little bit, but The one agenda that does bother me. Is that Some in Brown’s media and certainly in the national media, every time we speak to a national media member. Kevin Steansky gets a pass, always. And and I don’t understand that. And I’m not certainly not an anti-K Kevin Saansky guy. In fact, before last year, I thought he was a really good coach. I’ve lost some faith in him. I wouldn’t, I, I in the end changed my mind. I said fire him and then I changed my mind and I’m OK with him having another shot here. But this idea that Kevin Steansky is some great coach, that he’s accomplished something is total bullshit. Now, I hope he, he gets it together and proves me wrong or me, I don’t even know if it proves me wrong, but like he hasn’t proven enough. He hasn’t been a terrible coach. Certainly not. But he hasn’t been great either. He’s got a losing record. All right, and, and you, a lot of people want to give him a pass because of the mess of a quarterback situation, but he’s part of that mess. He’s helped create that mess or he’s been part — of the reason there’s been a mess at
— quarterback. Well, when we talk to these national people, yeah, they, they paint the picture like. He’s like he’s not, it’s not his show. Right. It’s not his fault. He’s like on strings like he’s basically he’s not Kevin. Kevin is handicapped. — It’s basically what I think
— that’s crap and they keep saying there’s so many other people that’s butting into what he really want to do, so it’s hard to blame him. Well, — that’s a
— lot of I don’t buy that. — I’m just saying
— what they say. Listen, don’t shoot the messenger. I’m just telling you what they said. I, I just don’t buy that. I think that’s unfair. What is he going to pass forever now? The Bengals owner is terrible. Does Zach Taylor gonna pass forever? Not for me. I mean, — I don’t think still
— employed. Well, he’s won a lot more games. He’s gone to the Super Bowl, you know what I’m saying? I mean, that’s a big difference. I I personally, the Super Bowl gets you like two years. — I
— personally don’t think Zach Dale is a very good coach. I would replace him, but the Bengals are cheap. They’re not going to do that. So. Um, you know, but like if you ask any national media member, they’ll tell you Kevin Stavany’s better than Zach Taylor, right? And maybe he is, — but what are we basing that
— on? What they’ll say was, was, give, give Kevin Stefasky, Joe Burrow and see what happens. But, but, but here’s, but I get that. I get that I get that. I get that. But sometimes, sometimes what what you gotta do is you gotta look at it and say, look, man, at what point in time does the buck stop with you? Because I go back to a lot of the moves that they made when he was coach of the year, right, which time, the second time, OK, 2 years ago, who, who made the decision to move on from Alex Van Pelt? He did. OK. I think he fired him, didn’t he? Well, people will say that he got his hand for. So everything that he has done, it has been magically or mythically somebody — else
— it’s the Podesta’s fault’s fault. Hold on, wait a minute. They fired AVP. It’s a couple of reasons. One, AVP probably wanted to call a play. So he was tired of that. That’s one. And 2, — they wanted to cater to Deshaun
— Watson. OK, so, so, so that was, — that was those are those
— two things factual. So you, so if you say, all right, Alex Van Pelt got fired when you were coach of the year, it was kind of wild. He got 4 or 5 different quarterbacks to get to where you at and they went to the playoffs. OK, cool. Maybe he wanted to call plays. They fired him. Well, they fired the tight ends coach too, right? Yeah, that was my dog too. They fired him. So, so you, you, you, you, you, you lost your offensive line coach, you fired your tight ends coach, you fired the running backs coach, and then you had no running game. Is that whose fault was that? You got to choose those decisions, right? Then this year, — the biggest thing
— you’re talking — about
— last year’s coaches last year’s coaches, well, only person that got fired from the, well, — the line coach and uh and Ken Dorsey
— two years ago. — So
— it feels like it feels like Kevin Stavany gets credit for the good and no blame for the bad, so he got rid of that. He now watch this. They turn play calling over to Dorsey, right? Mhm. You know what I’m saying? They, they gave it to Dorsey. But why, why did he hand the play calling over to Dorsey after Deshaun Watson was gone? He was calling the place. I, I want to know the last thing and I and I criticized him for that last thing that’s needed to be the the most. That’s an indictment on him and another indictment is that and and I’ve said a few times, I don’t think Baker Mayfield would have turned it around here. So — because he had to hit rock bottom
— disagree with that either. But part of that is Kevin Steansky’s fault because clearly there was more talent than any of us thought with Baker because Baker, while not elite. Has proven himself to be a very good quarterback, better than certainly I thought, I think you two G Bush, he’s been he’s, he’s the somewhere between the 9th and 12th best quarterback in the league right now. — Did he start for
— 4500 yards a yards, a lot of touchdowns. We’re gonna talk a little more Browns coming up in a bit, but we got to talk about the Guardian’s big win and some trade rumors after a reminder that Roy is an official partner of the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show. You guys have probably heard of Viagra or Cialis before. Maybe you’ve even. Tried them, but if you’re looking for something beyond the usual pill, it’s time to meet Roy Reddy.

The Cleveland Browns are officially back in Berea for the 2025 training camp, and the energy around this team is as high as it’s been in years. With Shedeur Sanders entering his rookie season, Kenny Pickett trying to prove himself, and Dillon Gabriel showing flashes of potential, the quarterback battle is easily the headline story. Head coach Kevin Stefanski and GM Andrew Berry have made it clear that the best player will earn the QB2 role behind Joe Flacco, and every rep this camp will matter. Fans are eager to see if Shedeur’s poise and arm talent can shine against live NFL defenses, or if Pickett’s experience gives him the early edge.

Outside of the quarterback room, the Browns’ backfield is another storyline with plenty of drama. With Nick Chubb’s era officially over, the door is wide open for a new feature back. Rookie running back Dylan Sampson has the speed and burst to make noise, but Jerome Ford and D’Onta Foreman won’t give up touches easily. Every preseason carry could tilt the balance of this battle, and Stefanski’s decision on who emerges as RB1 will shape the offense this fall. Add in the uncertainty around rookie Quinshon Judkins’ off-field issues, and the stakes are even higher.
