Teammates Taking notice of Johnny Manziel

While looking at the film, Manziel realized his grave mistake and took some accountability for his mistake by taking out his frustrations on a Microsoft Surface tablet when he took a look at the replay.

These numbers won’t wow anybody, and the extra time Manziel has had over nearly two seasons surely benefit him over actual rookies.

The game marked Manziel’s fourth start of 2015 after starting the second game of the season and two games in November.

San Francisco 49ers outside linebacker Corey Lemonier (96) grabs the face mask of Cleveland Browns q … “It’s a tribute to our leadership”, Pettine said. There was a lot to like about how he played yesterday, but there is still a lot left to learn about whether or not he could be labeled as a franchise quarterback.

That said, the talk of Manziel potentially being Cleveland’s future at QB still needs to be drastically tempered.

Outside the pocket, Manziel was 4-of-6 for 88 yards, with no touchdowns and the one glaring interception.

Mike Pettine was half-hearted in his praise for Manziel, saying he did more good than bad, although avoiding showering Manziel with praise just one game after being benched is understandable. I saw a game where we didn t, and I don t use this word a lot, but we didn t execute. Cleveland Browns fans were pleased with what they got from Johnny Manziel on Sunday.

Barnidge, who caught five passes for 84 yards, including a 2-yard td also didn’t know that Manziel was made at himself for missing a wide open Barnidge over the middle on the pick.

“Every time Crowell gets running, I’m hoping he gets in the end zone because he deserves it. And I think I surprised my team and got them excited”.

“We know that this is a formidable opponent in one of the most hostile environments in the league”, Pettine said. “Winning doesn’t heal everything, but it helps”.

The 49ers surrendered nine sacks to the Browns on Sunday, four after Boone went down on the first series of the third quarter.

“Sometimes it’s a little muddy and murky on the line, but I thought everything we did worked well against them”.

Armonty Bryant (two sacks), Nate Orchard (two sacks), Desmond Bryant (one and a half sacks), Christian Kirksey (one sack), Jordan Poyer (one sack), Donte Whitner (one sack), and Xavier Cooper (half sack) all took turns plastering Blaine Gabbert in the backfield of the 49ers.

The Browns say there’s another side to Manziel only they witness: Johnny Focused. Paying eight million a year, for 24 catches through 14 games is unacceptable.

“This is a guy who is a leader in the locker room, a leader in the meeting rooms, ” Pettine said. The move cost Manziel two games as he sat as punishment, though it’s worth noting that partying during a weekend off is hardly the worst thing an athlete can do or has done off the field. Six plays later, the Browns settled for Coons’ field goal.

Based on the offense’s performance, I think it’s pretty clear that Geep Chryst also needs to get the old heave-ho come January.

And if 49ers defensive coordinator Eric Mangini could not align his men to stifle a skittery second-year quarterback Johnny Manziel or a Browns’ rushing attack that was averaging just 74 yards per game… then you might as well call Mangini’s status into question, too, despite his fairly good work this season.
