They just won’t find him in the huddle.

In a report on the Ravens’ website, head coach John Harbaugh was pleased with Schaub’s performance practicing with the starters last week.
“If he wants to be a great quarterback and realize his potential, let this be the day he gets awakened”, Gruden told Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com on Saturday.
On Thursday, Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer reported Manziel told the Browns the party video that surfaced online Monday showing him holding a large bottle while singing and dancing in an Austin, Texas, nightclub late last week was old. “When you have a great opportunity in front of you, it is important that you demonstrate that you can handle the responsibility that comes with it”, Pettine said.
Tasked with mentoring Manziel this season, McCown questioned whether he did enough to help his friend, in the same way he wondered if he did enough for the team.
“You never want to regain a job this way”, he said.
Manziel was 11 when a 41-year-old Flutie beat the odds and returned to the NFL after having been traded to the Canadian Football League. “When I say I’m sorry to disappoint, I’m not really. We don’t care what they think”.
Josh McCown, who missed Cleveland’s past two games with injured ribs, will start against the Ravens.
Manziel had been named Cleveland’s starter for the final six games before his off-field behaviour got him benched.
Between Schaub and McCown is there an answer to who is better?
“It is disappointing. I am not going to lie – it is disappointing”, DeFilippo said. “I am not going to hold anything back”.
McCown said he’d draw energy from celebrating Thanksgiving and reflecting on his blessings. “I feel like we will have good energy and we will go out there and play well”. The Browns hope for a different result this time around. The game is scheduled for an 8:30 p.m. start time and it will be televised nationally on ESPN. “Today is also a day to be recognized with the high school football level with so many traditional and rivalry games taking place”. The Browns will be hosting their first Monday Night Football game in six years, and it should be a raucous environment.
Motivation shouldn’t be a problem for two teams all but eliminated from playoff contention.
On Monday night the gutted Ravens will have to turn to former Houston and University of Virginia quarterback Matt Schaub and rookie running back Javorious Allen to lead a seemingly sinking ship. “I think it’s a work in progress”.
You laughed when I wrote that didn’t you?
Eighteen Baltimore players have suffered long-term injuries this season.
Offensive lineman Cameron Erving was lauded for his effort but made a handful of mistakes in his first career start November 15, at Pittsburgh. Since the rivalry began in 1999, Cleveland has only swept in 2001 and ’07. He had 16 tackles and one pass deflection before suffering the season-ending injury. This may be the best option he and the Browns have in finding another win. Earlier this season, McCown threw for a franchise-record 457 yards passing with 2 touchdowns to go along with 1 rushing touchdown in a 33-30 overtime victory. I care about his family. The Baltimore defense doesn’t have the superstars it once did, but remains tough against the run (12th, 97.0 yards a game) and has allowed just 235.5 yards a game in two weeks since its bye.

“All year, we’ve been talking about going after the ball”, Baltimore inside linebacker C.J. “I like our plan”.
