Browns QB Johnny Manziel has ‘imminent’ meeting with National Football League investigators over
Manziel is scheduled to meet with the league regarding the incident.
If I were general manager Ray Farmer and coach Mike Pettine, I really begin to weigh what I see as Johnny’s future vs the circus he creates around the team.
The league visited Avon police last week and wants to wrap up the investigation quickly. Police determined Manziel was not intoxicated and allowed him to drive Crowley back to the home in a golf community they share.
Manziel won his only start this season in Week 2 against Tennessee. If anything, domestic violence experts believe that shoddy, potentially starstruck police work – Manziel’s story about saving her from a moving vehicle had more weight than her claim of violence backed with physical evidence – is at fault here. Manziel was not disciplined by the team and has remained McCown’s primary backup, dressing for games as he normally would. “The league has its protocol on how they handle these situations”.
No announcement on a starter for Sunday’s game is expected until later in the week. If the team was anxious about Alex Mack coming back from injury or wanted to bring in competition for Mitchell Schwartz and John Greco on the right side of the line, there were plenty of good players later in the draft to try and do that with.
Cleveland Browns general manager Ray Farmer said that the team could not suspend Manziel for the incident, according to ESPN’s Pat McManamon.
Manziel had never read a playbook, did not know how to go through progressions, displayed an unwillingness to stay in the pocket and was better improvising on the run than actually diagnosing a play.
“I’ll fully cooperate with anything they ask me, anything they need from me”, he said, according to NEOMG. Bosley says, “I wouldn’t want to give details about the communication because although it is not a criminal investigation, I wouldn’t want to compromise what they are doing”. The Rams are now ranked last in total yard per game in the National Football League, with the Rams’ defensive efforts contributing to most of their wins this season. While he has not reached post-season play, Fisher seems to have higher hopes and more faith in this St. Louis team. His head bounced off the stadium floor when he fell.
“They understand the schedule that we’re in”, he said. The red zone looks haven’t been there without Ben and the big fantasy days won’t be there either until he gets back. “But as we all know he’s tough as nails”. Also back were free safety Tashaun Gipson (ankle) and linebacker Craig Robertson (ankle) …

“Could be”, he said. “It would have no impact as far as what we had chose to do in ending the case”. “A few of those decisions will be based on how practice goes”.
Pettine conceded that Bowe’s size (6-2, 222) is missed in the offense.
But if McCown is able to return in time to face the Cardinals, Pettine said he would start.
