The Cleveland Browns made the announcement on Tuesday.
Manziel vowed not to disappoint. No charges were pressed although Crowley said Manziel pushed her head into a window. “I thought the guys around me played great”.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are 6-4 entering their bye week following a 30-9 victory over the Cleveland Browns Sunday, and the off week could not come at a better time. I’m in a good place, and I’m going to continue to try and like I said relax.
Manziel started today, only because Pettine had no other choice. “I definitely won’t take all five [days off], but two or three days, get a chance to shut it down”. “I wanted the chance to be the guy, and that was always my goal, so now obviously with coach Pett coming out and saying this today, it’s big news for me”.
The Browns would own the first overall pick in next year’s draft if the season were to end today. They got together for a scheduled session after the loss to the Bengals on November 5, but Pettine said his job status wasn’t discussed at that time. “It was looking back, looking forward, where we are”.
In the six games McCown played from start to finish, the offense posted a 31.54 Adjusted NEP, which is adjusted for schedule strength and indicates how many points above expectation-level the team secured.
“Against a pretty good defense, he took some hits and stood in the pocket and made some throws, got out of the pocket and made some throws”, Pettine said.
The controversial 22-year-old spent more than two months in rehab during the offseason and is now under NFL investigation to determine whether or not he violated the league’s personal conduct policy due to a recent alleged domestic dispute. Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer was the first to report the news this morning, now officially announced by the team, tweeting that Manziel and veteran Josh McCown had been notified of the change. McCown has been sidelined with a rib injury but threw for 1,897 yards, 11 touchdowns and four interceptions in his seven starts this season. “We’re challenged as a staff to do a little soul-searching and come up with a few answers and make sure that when we come out of this break that we’re ready to go and ready to snap this streak”.
“I think all that factors in”. We’re not playing well enough, we’re not coaching well enough and that all has to be improved. In Week 2, he led the Browns to one of their two wins this season with a 172-yard, two-touchdown performance over the Titans.

“I think the performance against Pittsburgh (on Sunday) I think validated for us the progress that he’s made, the improvement that he’s shown and that he deserves this opportunity”, Pettine said. “Also, Josh’s circumstances being what they are, not being entirely healthy at least in the short term”. “There have been times throughout the season where protection wise I was like, ‘Man, this really makes sense what I didn’t understand in the preseason and here is how we handle it.’ I didn’t have to learn anything like this or know any of these types of protections and schemes”.
