Johnny Manziel back as starter for Browns after benching
The came to town and took care of business, the way a championship team does. McCown suffered a season-ending broken collarbone in the game. “I just think it’s human nature”. Rather than list out the whole list on the bad end, I think we are left with Joker Phillips (WR), Kevin O’Connell (QB), and John DeFilippo (OC).
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.
“I kept telling him I was mad at him”, Dalton joked. “That’s easy to throw out there, but until I see real examples of it, to me, it’s something that’s there, and it’s there with every team”. “I wish he would have picked his feet up just a little bit more, but it was a big play”.
Two weeks after being benched for partying during the team’s bye week, Johnny Manziel will be back under center as the Browns’ starting quarterback, according to multiple reports.
Manziel appeared to finally earn a shot to start in Cleveland in mid-November when he received the nod from Pettine entering the Browns’ bye in Week 11. Nope, Mike Pettine was unable to choose between Austin Davis and Johnny Manziel. He had another one blocked in the 37-3 loss to the Bengals on Sunday. A trial had been scheduled to begin Monday in New Haven federal court, but a document filed Friday says the case was settled. If you take away his 1999 run to the Super Bowl where they lost to the current franchise he directs, Fisher has a 2-4 postseason record.
Following Monday’s 27-3 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, Fisher said he was “out of answers” and on Monday morning the team announced that they would be moving on from offensive coordinator Frank Cignetti.
“Here’s a guy we all know has the opt-out in his contract and can go to the market”, Pettine said.
Namely, not everyone is pulling in the same direction when it comes to turning things around for the 2-10 club. Buffalo Bills coach Rex Ryan isn’t sure whether starting cornerback Stephon Gilmore can recover from a shoulder injury in time to play against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. The passing game has been surprisingly effective considering the lack of imposing wide receiver and running game.
And one Cleveland Browns’ fan is offering up her services to help Pettine on his way out of town.
“Spur-of-the-moment type thing”, Hill explained. “We’ve got to figure out what are the exact problems first”. It is Cleveland’s most lopsided loss since December 24, 2005, when the Pittsburgh Pirates shut them out 41-0. “We’ve had preliminary talks and a couple meetings scheduled but I haven’t spoken to the quarterbacks yet. We are going to coach our players hard and we will see what happens”.
