Pryor returns to Ohio State as Browns scrimmage

The obsession with inflatable swans, “money sign” hand gestures and quarterback controversies has subsided.

Off the sector, Manziel was photographed driving an inflatable swan whereas consuming and later, spraying a bottle of champagne onto a crowd at a live performance throughout weekends in Las Vegas. Still, it wouldn’t be the most surprising thing if Manziel works his way into an actual, tangible quarterback competition with McCown by the time the regular season rolls around. He’s seeing the field better, and delivering the ball on target. “I can honestly say going through these days it’s not a drag it’s not a grind, it’s a lot of fun”.

NOTES: QB turned WR Terrelle Pryor (hamstring) will not play in today’s scrimmage at Ohio State.

The 2012 Heisman Trophy victor has had consecutive solid practices, and coach Mike Pettine said Manziel will take some snaps with Cleveland’s starters on Friday night during a scrimmage in Columbus. Jay Cutler and Matthew Stafford both have the ability to fling the ball down field, and like Manziel, infuriate fans with a mistake on the very next play. “I’ve been taking some reps in walk-throughs with them and things like that”. We’re making sure he gets all of those reps mentally. Meanwhile, Manziel has worked exclusively with the second unit.

“You want to mix up the supporting cast”, Pettine said via ESPN Cleveland. Hartline was looking forward to his return to Ohio State, where he played from 2006-08. But it’s practice and I want to be out there for the first preseason game, the second, third, fourth and the first game of the season. You guys see how he communicates out there — talking to everybody and getting things situated.

I can really only speak for when he’s here.

Manziel looks relaxed and comfortable compared to a year ago, and it shows in the way he plays. The attention Manziel drew for persistently partying last summer before camp only fueled the circus. “It’s good for you to process that, especially before you play a preseason game and kind of get that feeling and go through that, so it was good for us”.

COLUMBUS — Fans still mourning the decision by General Manager Ray Farmer to give up on Brian Hoyer better get used to the idea of Josh McCown being the Browns quarterback in 2015. It’s not as much hype. I really trust these guys that I have and these protections.

“It’s a trick question for me because I don’t know if I’m every satisfied”, Farmer said.

Late last month, Pettine also confirmed that McCown will likely start for them in Week 1 against the New York Jets, but he also insisted that there could still be changes because anything can happen in the coming days. Manziel admitted learning the intricacies of a pro-style offense overwhelmed him coming out of Texas A&M University. “I believe he was young then and he’s matured now”, said Browns fan Ronald Brown. Before he reported to camp last month, he picked the brain of former NFL coach Jon Gruden in Tampa, Fla.

Manziel stated he’s “not getting caught up” within the starter-backup determination.

“I’ve got a 1-year-old son”.

Manziel completed 9-of-11 passes for 93 yards and two touchdowns during the Browns’ scrimmage on Friday night, including a pretty 18-yard back shoulder toss to Josh Lenz. I know I’ve been asked about that before but the FAA probably got a phone call. “He sets his feet, which is something you really didn’t get to see much, and he’s trusting his reads”.

“It is good to return out right here and put on any sort of footwear that I would like and it isn’t the primary story the subsequent day”, Manziel stated.

The greater understanding has led to improved consistency.
