Coach says Browns have quarterback Johnny Manziel’s back
That possession didn t feature a first down and was set up at the 49ers 49-yard line, after Ahmad Brooks recovered a fumble that Ian Williams forced.
Crowell fed off of Manziel’s playmaking with 20 carries for 145 carries and two touchdowns, while the defense sacked 49ers quarterback Blaine Gabbert nine times and held the 49ers to just 221 total yards on the afternoon. Rather than panic and make another ill-fated play, Manziel backpedeled to buy time, then floated a pass out where only Barnidge could grab it. Not a miraculous effort, by any means, but one that showed progress in Manziel’s decision-making.
The suggestion that the 49ers could be caught strutting irritated Tomsula on Monday. But a crescendo of negativity awaited them at FirstEnergy Stadium, where venders outside sold T-shirts depicting Cleveland as a Factory of Sadness. “We did not execute”, Tomsula said. As far as I’m concerned, he just needs to go home.
The Browns advanced to the 49ers’ 44. “We’re not in a position to take anyone lightly”. “We won last week because everybody played hard”. For a player seemingly on thin ice with the Browns, it was an incredibly important performance. If he’s not in the Browns’ future plans, they should cut him loose and let him start over somewhere else.
“It’s a false comment”. “We tried to prepare as much as possible to defend that”. Coaches do a good job every week getting this team prepared.
You know, like, back in the day, the bearded lady, the two-headed goat and Elast-O-Man.
Linebacker NaVorro Bowman insisted he, personally, didn t dismiss the Browns chances at ending their seven-game losing streak. “That gets our guys going”, Pettine said.
We about broke the internet today, Johnny.
Manziel was back on the field after being benched two games by Pettine for partying during Cleveland’s bye week after he had promised not to be a distraction. Armonty Bryant and Nate Orchard had two sacks each.
There is hope that Jarryd Hayne could still play for the remaining games of the San Francisco 49ers in the 2015-2016 National Football League regular season.
For the 49ers, offensive lineman Alex Boone left in the third quarter with a knee injury.
Gabbert wasn t as lucky. Gabbert had three official carries for 19 yards, though three other scrambles resulted in sacks. “That’s no excuse. Maybe we got a little bigheaded and just thought a victory was going to happen”. The49ers had only 98 yards entering the fourth quarter.
To the people of Oakland, San Diego, and St. Louis, I say this. “When there are that many negative plays, it’s tough, and you’re digging yourselves a deep hole”.
Winston completed 18-of-32 passes for 182 yards and a touchdown without an interception in Tampa Bay’s 24-17 loss to the New Orleans Saints. But at the core, the Brows are 2-3 with Manziel as a starter and he has a 59% completion rate, five touchdowns, four interceptions, and an 84.1 passer rating.
Manziel celebrated his latest escape from the doghouse by leading the beleaguered Browns to a 24-10 victory over beleaguered San Francisco in Sunday’s Beleaguered Bowl. Sure it was only the 49ers but there were some good takeaways.
The 49ers converted 2-of-13 third-down situations, and finished with 15 first downs to the Browns’ 28.
Running back Isaiah Crowell, who’s probably Manziel’s biggest fan, benefitted from having Manziel in there.
The 49ers were coming off an overtime win against the Chicago Bears but fell to 4-9.
