Browns GM Farmer: We can’t suspend Manziel
I know, afterwards didn’t look good, and when you watch the tape, he took a few unnecessary hits.
Actually, it goes back further than that.
“We’re just ‘wait and see,”‘ Pettine said.
Monday, Pettine affirmed that McCown will start Sunday against the Cardinals if he’s able to. Oh, yeah, Marshawn Lynch.
Brady completed 13 of 16 passes for 135 yards in the final quarter to overcome a 20-16 lead and give New England a two-game lead over the Jets in the AFC East. He was 34 of 54 for 355 yards overall – numbers that would have been even better if not for the 11 drops by his receivers, six by newly activated Brandon LaFell.
Greg Zuerlein known by many as “Greg the leg” has struggled heavily in the past two games for the St Louis Rams.
The Rams hit back with an important score to take a 13-point lead when Todd Gurley found the endzone from one yard to notch his first touchdown in the NFL.
“Oh man, it felt good to get my first two”, Gurley said. Not for the Patriots, perhaps – their short passing game, unstoppable at times, can substitute for ground and pound, which is also something they can occasionally do. His profoundly appropriate reaction: “Oh. My”.
“There’s a sense of urgency to it”, Pettine said. “He can make you miss, jump over you”. “He is patient; he knows when to slow down and is good with his change of pace”.
That’s going to happen more and more.
While Gurley is trending up, the rest of the St. Louis offense is heading in the opposite direction.
The Rams are 2-1 in his three starts and now will be preparing to play San Francisco and push their record over. Eddie George had tremendous speed and power when Fisher was in Tennessee in the late 1990s, and Chris Johnson had effective agility in the late 2000s.
And here’s one more message sent from a friend, this one at the University of Georgia: “You should see how many Rams’ 30 jerseys there are in Athens these days”. Mark Barron is a wickedly physical safety.
Gurley had a big grin on his face as Britt followed him back to the bench and waved his arms at the crowd in celebration after the running back scored his second TD in the fourth quarter. Those two carries accounted for 43.6 percent of the Rams’ rush yardage on 7.6 percent of their carries.
Several times in the second half, fans were chanting, “Gurley, Gurley, Gurley”. They have a great defense over there to so they’re about one player away from being contenders now. Mostly, though, it has been hell.
STOUT D: Coming off its bye, St. Louis (3-3) was strong defensively with four sacks and four fumble recoveries. Since the organization’s last playoff win in 2004, there have been zero winning seasons.
Oh, yes, there’s also the endless speculation that Rams owner Stan Kroenke will relocate the Rams to Southern California.
Many compared him to Adrian Peterson, who rushed for over 2,000 yards the next season after he tore his ACL.
The crowd responded accordingly.
“The ones I saw mostly, they brought one more guy than we could block or our protection was sliding left and they brought the third guy from the right”, Bitonio said. But we rallied, we settled down and we got things going in the second half.
With this in mind, it is time to finally talk about Farmer and the four first-round selections he made in 2014 and 2015-kids, if you are under the age of 14 you might want to close your eyes at this point.
