Key points
  • Shedeur Sanders has given Todd Monken something to think about.
  • So, that’s what you wanted to see.” Monken noted that philosophically, he doesn’t really think of a player losing a job due to injury.
  • "I really haven’t thought through it other than getting through this morning’s tape," Monken said.

Each week, we put the best players on the field that give us a chance to win.” Monken added that Sanders’ play didn’t necessarily alter his thinking about whether or not Sanders could play at some point this season.

Additional details
  • I thought he had a great week of practice and there is no guarantee that will carry over.
  • We went through the tape, immediately had to break, go to personnel, then the team comes in, and we haven’t had a chance to circle back as an offensive staff." Watson started the first eight games of the season for Cleveland, generating five game-winning drives for the team’s five wins.
  • “Well I’m awfully proud of him,” Monken said of Sanders.
  • It gives me more and more confidence that what I saw in the fall, there’s something to build on — for sure.” We’ll see how that translates as the season continues.
  • He made a big third-down conversion early and he made one right there in four-minute, right before the holding call that gave us a first down.
