DeShaun Watson he's back
and he will play his first game in 700 days
on Sunday, when the Cleveland Browns, visit the Houston
Texans.
And man,
I just know this, there probably aren't a lot of Texans
fans who were really fired up about their team right now, but
I bet they'll be fired up to Buddha Sean Watson
on Sunday at NRG Stadium.
Two things miles.
How do you think? DeShaun Watson is going to play after
two years?
Not playing in a football game and
how America react to DeShaun Watson being back on the field.
Well, I don't think DeShaun Watson is going to play very
well, at least not in the first half. If the end, if the game,
the
preseason that he played against the Jaguars is any indication,
he's going to be feeling a lot of different feelings,
based on all of the things that have gone on. I mean, you talk
about all the lawsuits, everything that has happened
now with his suspension.
There's a reason why he's not playing for the Texans. Any
longer a? He didn't want to but be they wanted to get Rid of
him, right? So there's a lot that's going to go into it and
the fact that he hasn't played in seven hundred days, is
another one of
those things. I mean, at his Peak was DeShaun, Watson,
an elite passer. Absolutely.
That's why the Browns wanted to go out and get him. They think
they think of this, probably, as a 10-year, transaction,
rather than just a one year thing. And if you have your
quarterback position settled, it does a lot
of different things for your franchise,
but
to go back to Houston. Even after this long layoff,
I don't think that that's going to really end up as a positive,
at least not in the first half. Maybe once he gets settled in
in the second half things will be a little bit different, but
I find it hard to believe that the Sean Watson
is going to have some great week of practice and then go
into NRG Stadium in, light it up. I find that hard to
believe, but easier the second part of your question. I mean,
this is still
somebody who was accused and sued, by more than Two, dozen
women
for sexual misconduct and assault.
And I don't think that America has forgotten that and you
know, whether it's in Houston or whether it's going to
different places around the country, because the Browns
have a lot of road games here down
the stretch. I think that the Browns and DeShaun Watson are
going to feel the opposition from the crowds that they are
going to be playing in.
I think not only that, but
I think it's, it's easy now because he's had his 11 game
suspension, it's easy now to say okay, huh? All right, we
got all the crap over with and now it's just going to be about
football,
but I don't think that's the case. First of all,
the civil suits are not over
against DeShaun Watson and and second of all,
I think you're going to see protests at some stadiums down
the stretch of this season now Cleveland there Road. Games,
they've got four Road games down the stretch of their
season
and they're going to Houston. Obviously,
they're going to Cincinnati. I'm not sure. I would expect
much out of Cincinnati. It's kind of a docile town,
but week 17 at Washington. I would definitely expect there
to be some protests outside that game,
and then they end at Pittsburgh
and Pittsburgh want to protest just because it's Cleveland,
you know, but but but the way I see, Heard of look at this
right now is that
it isn't only going to be a smooth transition into only
football.
And I think, DeShaun Watson deserves to hear from women and
deserves to hear from fans who think that
what he did was reprehensible
who does who think that the Cleveland Browns owners
deserve to hear the incredible reward that guaranteed to
230 million dollars that the haslums handed to DeShaun
Watson. We all know why they did it. They never would have
gotten to Sean Watson had, they not fully guaranteed this
contract. We know that but still it's 230 million
guaranteed and I just think crowds
fans and the public are going to let the Browns hear this
a lot between now and the end of Of the season and quite
honestly, Mi.
I don't think it'll be over next season either,
so we'll see what happens. But we'll all have our eye on that
game
on Sunday in Houston.
