You don't want it, you don't need it, but you're going to get it anyway.

The Kevin Sheehan Show, here's Kevin.

0:11.5

All right, a busy Wednesday podcast here because of the breaking news this morning,

0:17.3

that Dwayne Haskins has been benched.

0:19.6

Kyle Allen's going to be the starting

0:21.2

quarterback for Washington against the Rams on Sunday. And not only has Dwayne been benched, he's the

1:30.9

going to be shocked if Kyle Allen came out against the Ravens, but I thought Dwayne played pretty

1:36.0

well against Baltimore. If the turnover parade that was happening in Cleveland continued against

1:42.0

Baltimore, I think they would have pulled them.

1:48.9

Now, I think the difference here, and I wrote a story about this, is that the next four opponents for Washington are four and 12 combined.

1:52.7
