I\u2019m not going to name a No. 1<\/a> … chances are, I will not,\u201d Monken said. \u201cNow, once we get to the fall, we\u2019ll have to dissect the reps how we see fit. I just don\u2019t see it after the way Shedeur\u2019s played and Deshaun\u2019s played, they\u2019ve both played well enough to earn the right to compete to start.\u201d <\/p>\nThat means the competition will continue into training camp, where each player will have the opportunity to separate himself. <\/p>\n
Tuesday\u2019s session was a good one for both, Monken said. <\/p>\n
“[Sanders] did a nice job today. He\u2019s been getting better and better with each practice day,\u201d Monken said. no”And I thought Deshaun did some good things today. So, I thought they both functioned at a high level. We had a couple of pre-snap issues. But I thought they both functioned at a high level today.\u201d<\/p>\n
Generally, Monken said he\u2019s been pleased with what he\u2019s seen from Sanders and Watson during the offseason program. <\/p>\n
\u201cFirst of all, it\u2019s been great to watch them progress,\u201d Monken said. \u201cThe sad part is in two days, they go away for five or six weeks \u2014 that\u2019s what sucks, because you just start to get a little bit of momentum, you\u2019re stacking plays. You\u2019re seeing some things you really like. We\u2019ve got to do a great job as a staff for, when they get back, picking up where they left off.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut, it\u2019s been fun to watch those guys compete. The whole room, they\u2019re really smart guys, highly competitive. And they\u2019ve come a long way. I\u2019m excited about the room.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Dillon Gabriel \u2014 who will now wear No. 6 after Jared Verse came in for No. 8 \u2014 and rookie Taylen Green on the roster, the competition in actuality is between Sanders and Watson. We\u2019ll see how things change once pads come on during training camp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Browns head coach Todd Monken has said that he would prefer to have a starting quarterback named by…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":695620,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-695619","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/695619","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=695619"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/695619\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/695620"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=695619"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=695619"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=695619"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
