Johnny Manziel Back at QB For Cleveland Browns

With its biggest win over Cleveland, Cincinnati moved to the brink of making the playoffs for the fifth straight season, a stretch of success Browns fans haven’t seen in generations.

McCown has no future with the team, so the thought would be for Manziel to be given the opportunity to start some consecutive games and see what he has in the tank.

Regardless of who is under center next week against San Francisco, Davis plans on doing whatever he can to help end the Browns’ seven-game losing streak. They’ve been told every year that it’s going to get better. They are certainly in the conversation and while they might not be No. 1, a dominant win is definitely going to serve them well, as a confidence booster at least. “To have our names with those two guys is pretty special”. “We’ll get a chance to watch the tape and we’ll all circle back”. The Browns are in a tough spot, wanting to send a message to Manziel that he needs to grow up, while at the same time needing to find out exactly what they have in the Texas A&M product. He has been sacked 14 times for 97 lost yards and fumbled the football five times, three of which were lost. “We just have to keep fighting”.

Davis was 25-of-38 passing for 230 yards with no touchdowns and an interception against the Bengals in his first since he joined the Browns in September.

The other side of this is a report during the Browns loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Four games, that’s a quarter of a season. “We’re doing a good job at the point of attack. That’s the thing that we’re proud and excited about all of the time”. Green ran right by Williams, who apparently bit on a play-action fake, and caught the pass to cap the 54-yard drive. It’s the first time since 1990 and sixth time in franchise history the Bengals have won four games by 20 or more.

The Bengals struck first on their second possession, capturing a 7-0 lead on Dalton’s 3-yard touchdown run with 3:45 left in the first quarter. That could come in the form of trades for players like Matthew Stafford or Colin Kaepernick or it could be drafting another rookie. I think we already have a sense of where he is from a football standpoint, that he’s done some good things and he showed progress from a year ago. “I was proud of that”. The victor of the game, of course, was the Bengals. “There’s a not a championship yet, but that’s all he needs to be labelled one of the best who ever played”. Cincinnati was trying all sorts of trick plays, running over-complicated quarterback sneaks or throwing to offensive lineman. We’ve got to be playing well around our quarterback.

In 10 games, eight of which were starts, Davis completed 180 of his 284 pass attempts (63.4 percent) for 2,001 yards and 12 touchdowns against nine interceptions.

But, what does 10-2 mean?

“I don’t know if any kind of statement has been made, but from what I understand, Johnny is starting this week”, Hartline said.

The Bengals can clinch a postseason berth if the Steelers beat the Colts Sunday night.
