Cleveland Browns’ QB Johnny Manziel Is Back To The Bench

BEREA, Ohio The Browns believe sacking Johnny Manziel themselves will do him good.

“Josh McCown will be the starting quarterback on Monday night against the Ravens”, Pettine said in his Tuesday announcement.

Eye-witness calls to the police from fellow travelers along Interstate 90 detailed Manziel, who admitted to having a couple drinks downtown before heading home, as driving erratically on the highway and in a physical argument with his girlfriend, who was heard on the dash cam video saying “he hurt me several times”, and also, “I’m in fear for my life”.

The Cleveland Browns are returning to Josh McCown as their starting quarterback when they take on the Baltimore Ravens this Monday, after a video of initially announced starter Johnny Manziel partying surfaced. “I really do”, he said.

“Everyone in this organization wants what is best for Johnny just like we do for every player in our locker room”, Pettine said in a statement that is posted on the team’s official website.

The former Texas A&M standout was seen in a video partying and holding alcohol during their bye week.

Has Manziel played his last down as a Brown? .

McCown sympathizes with Manziel, who blew his chance to build off a 372-yard performance on November 15 in Pittsburgh.

“We want what”™s best for him,” Pettine said. “To say that Johnny Manziel will not play again this season, I’m not ready to say that”. “He’s an inactive quarterback”.

49ers second year running back Carlos Hyde (foot injury) will miss his fourth game as he has been ruled out of the team’s game against Arizona (8-2) on Sunday.

“This is not college anymore”.

Pettine said Manziel was disappointed when he broke the news to him Tuesday. He’s not going to let it slow him down. “On the personal front, we all recognize he (Manziel) has a ways to go”. The pair spent time together before training camp.

“He’s a polarizing guy”, said Gruden regarding Manziel. Bobby Joe Manziel was also a bantamweight boxer known as “The Syrian Kid” when he was younger and who was friends of and sparred with the great boxer Jack Dempsey.

“We grinded pretty hard”, he said. “We were right out in the open”.

“We talked about some deep and philosophical things. I don’t care what the record is”. I care about his family. His number was retired by the Packers two nights ago. “I can’t emphasize enough the importance of the trust and the accountability piece”.

“He (Manziel) is a playmaker”. I can’t tell you how impressed I am with the progress he made last year to this year.

Now, Manziel is pushed down the depth chart and is heading to Monday’s game versus Baltimore as the Browns’ third string quarterback.

Gruden can be brutally honest in his telecasts. If he does the first two, the last one will follow.

“Certainly a lot of things will get discussed, but I won’t go into the details”, Pettine replied.

“Anything that happens in this league doesn’t surprise me”. They don’t have the biggest receivers I’ve seen. “The kid can play”.
