Johnny Manziel talks retaining Browns’ personnel next season

On 3rd and 17 from the 39 yard line, desperate to make something happen, Manziel launched one deep but Marcus Burley played the throw perfectly and intercepted Johnny Football with 2:00 left to play.
The 30 points also marked the ninth time the Browns have allowed 30 or more points in a game.
Wide receiver Doug Baldwin #89 of the Seattle Seahawks celebrates scoring a touchdown with quarterback Russell Wilson #3 of the Seattle Seahawks during the first half of play against the Cleveland Browns at CenturyLink Field on December 20, 2015 in Seattle, Washington.
Unlikely? Yes. Impressive? Especially so when compared to the names Baldwin and Wilson joined and surpassed with their performances.
“We did a good job of getting them in longer third downs than they’re used to”, Pettine said.
Wilson threw three touchdown passes, two to Baldwin, and the Seahawks clinched a playoff spot with a 30-13 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
Tyler Lockett added a 27-yard touchdown catch on the first play of the fourth quarter to give Seattle a 27-10 lead.
Seattle (9-5) won five consecutive games, during which Wilson has thrown for 1,420 yards and 19 touchdowns without throwing an interception.
Right next to Wilson’s feat was what Baldwin accomplished.
When it becomes 10 touchdowns in four games, it’s probably time to acknowledge that what you think of that particular player is either flawed entirely or significantly outdated. Rice had 10 from a combo of Joe Montana and Steve Young during the 1987 season.
Baldwin has been just as productive, having caught 10 touchdown passes over the past four games. Manziel, already on his second offensive coordinator in as many seasons, would like to see Mike Pettine and the rest of the coaching staff return. The 6:53 march gave Cleveland a 7-0 lead on Manziel’s 7-yard TD pass to Gary Barnidge, who broke Ozzie Newsome’s club record for TDs by a tight end. “I think it is natural when you spend that extra effort you are going to see those results on the field and that is what we are seeing from Johnny”. Still, this was a passing line to be proud of as he was 21 of 30 for 249 yards and three touchdowns. Seattle finished with 182 rushing yards, a phenomenal total in the absence of Rawls and Marshawn Lynch. The former second-round pick by the Seahawks was traded away to Dallas at the end of training camp but re-signed this week.
Michael had 84 yards, 38 yards more than any other Seahawk, on 16 carries.
The organization has a few months before confronting that choice and we’re not even sure who will be running the operation by then. “He’s been through a lot since he was here before”.
With two games remaining on the schedule, the Buccaneers have an opportunity to finish the season with a 8-8 record, which would mark the most wins by the Bucs in a single season since 2010. Wilson tried to slide but, before he could get to safety, he was sandwiched by the Browns’ Desmond Bryant and Christian Kirksey, causing 69,002 at Century Link to gasp in horror.
Kearse said hello to Cleveland kicker Travis Coons, one year out of UW, and defensive lineman Danny Shelton, in his rookie season.
Seven wins in eight games have the Seahawks within one victory, plus a loss by Minnesota (9-5), from clinching that fifth playoff seed.
Thomas said he has never been asked by Haslam about the coaching staff. But given the chance, he would gladly offer his feelings.

It was third down that ultimately doomed the Browns on an afternoon in which they couldn’t get off the field when it mattered most.
