## Resource

Ken and Lima break down a viral clip of new Giants head coach John Harbaugh's underwhelming first speech to his team, questioning why players showed so little visible enthusiasm for a Super Bowl-winning coach and debating whether it's a generational trust issue or just a rough speech. That leads into a callback to earlier caller Nick's claim that Ken has never said he'd bench Watson even if Watson were better, with Ken playing an old clip of himself to argue his position (kick the tires on Sanders, but defer to whoever's actually playing better) hasn't really changed, even as a colleague pushes back that his tone has shifted since OTAs. Ken lays out the one scenario that would make him truly turn on Todd Monken as an evaluator: benching a struggling Watson only to have Sanders come in and immediately look great
