Johnny Manziel to start final four games for Cleveland

The great play of the defensive line took pressure off of the Bengals’ banged-up secondary.

Following the game, Pettine’s office door remained closed long after the players had left.

He started Austin Davis because he’d rather have anyone start for him but Manziel.

Pettine said Manziel had violated the trust of the organization and hadn’t been accountable.

“It’s hard to be at this point”, Pettine said of the building being unified. That showed immaturity and a relapse into the life that he entered rehab during last offseason to get away from.

Cleveland’s having another disastrous season, and coach Mike Pettine’s future is in serious doubt.

There’s two ways of looking at this for Pettine. The Browns are fed up with their 2014 first round pick, and he is only not getting time just to prove a point. This time we can only hope the team allows him to run with it. The Browns have nothing to gain by sitting Manziel even if his off the field behavior lacks discipline. “The ball skipped out of his hands – the fact he rallied from that, on the road in that environment – I’ve seen where things have gone bad early and guys go in the tank and they get that glazed look in their eye”. “We have to be playing well around our quarterback”.

Will the head coach be rooting for his young quarterback?

St. Louis coach Jeff Fisher relieved offensive coordinator Frank Cignetti of his duties.

Fisher is pulling out all of the stops to distract anyone from seeing the truth: Jeff Fisher is an average, overpaid head coach. Against Arizona, they were 1-for-12 on third down. I was not a Johnny Manziel fan when he was flashing the “Money” signs during his time at Texas A&M and I would be a liar if I said I was rooting for him to succeed in the NFL. There have been reports that the Browns might want to trade Manziel, with the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles being listed as possible partners. It was his first start of the season, and he was not too bad. Who will play quarterback in those four games is a mystery. Many have the playoff and Super Bowl in sight. Green has been relatively quiet this season as he’s putting up really good numbers just nothing spectacular so, it was nice to see Green step up when the opportunity was given. “You just have to make sure as you question everything that you realize this is our core, this is what we’re doing well, and these are the areas we need to improve”. He has done some good things and showed progress from a year ago.

The Seattle Seahawks have moved on from cornerback Cary Williams, who they waived on Monday. Nobody is scared to blitz the Browns every play. Kirksey then got into Hill’s face and drew a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for voicing his displeasure. This is another move that echos that.

“I think we all have ideas on how to get it done, and we need to be collaborative and we need to make sure that we’re picking the best ideas and pushing those agendas moving forward”. If every other franchise operated the same way, they may be better off.
