Last week, he attempted 45 passes and threw for 372 yards in the 30-9 loss to Pittsburgh. Head coach Mike Pettine made the decision just one day after saying it was something that was being discussed. “We talk to them about it. They know there’s a standard of behavior that they have to live up to”.

“I don’t know what my plans are going to be yet”, Manziel said. Pettine was impressed with Manziel’s improvement, and the team will go with him down the stretch of this season.
The Browns host Baltimore on November 30…. Manziel said Tuesday that he doesn’t “expect anything from itso I’m just plugging forward”.
Receiving the final stretch to start is the biggest break of Manziel’s young career. But the league’s investigation had left Manziel’s status uncertain at a time when the Browns needed him. I love the guys in the locker room and on the staff. If not, they could end up using that high draft pick on a new quarterback. “I just wish we had a better result from a team standpoint because he played his (butt) off”. “This will allow us to have a lot more information as we assess the quarterback position moving forward”.
“He tweeted me and said there are no hard feelings”, said Moats.
Benjamin, who has 48 catches for 736 yards and four touchdowns as the No. 1 wideout, said he had no problem with Pettine and his staff. He has done so in a rather inefficient manner, as his Passing NEP per play (0.098) ranks 18th among the 33 quarterbacks with at least 142 drop backs (McCown has 276 drop backs). Pettine said CB Justin Gilbert being inactive on Sunday was not because of any off-the-field issues. However, none of this pondering should be about who should start at QB for the rest of the season. Now, as the Browns enter the bye week, he will help the team focus on playing better around the quarterback so they can win games down the stretch.
The Cleveland Browns made the announcement on Tuesday. Considering 11 of those coming on a scramble by quarterback Johnny Manziel in the fourth quarter it could be called a dominating performance. We understand where our season is at this point. “This will give us an opportunity to see how far he has come and what he’s capable of”.
Manziel admitted that he doubted himself after last season, but when he returned to the team in April after the treatment program, his goal was to claim the starting job at some point this year. I learned a lot about football this year.
I am surely no expert on how rehab clinics operate, but my guess is as they are waving goodbye at the front door upon discharge, the doctors don’t tell clients, “It’s OK to have a couple drinks – just be careful”.
The long haul appears to be six more games, then Jimmy Haslam may decide to start all over once again.
“It’s been pretty constant fire since the day I got here”. “I don’t know how effective I could have really moved around. I’m in a good place”. Unsure about where he’ll spend the downtime, he said he might visit family if he leaves town. The Steelers engulfed the Browns runners before the backs had a chance to follow a block. “I’m having a career year, my best year in the National Football League, so why would I want those guys to leave?” He did some good things but there’s some things that can be improved upon.

“He stayed in the pocket”. It was alarming to hear Manziel compare the second half of the Bengals game to last season’s disastrous opener. “I appreciated the NFL’s diligence and discretion in reviewing a situation that was both personal and embarrassing”.
