![]() A dysfunctional Special Teams missing field goals.God I hope Manziel does well, but there are excuses I won’t accept if he doesn’t. It would be nice if all these forms of media would talk about the ENTIRE Browns offense, ’cause Manziel can’t do it all on his own. Rookie QBs make mistakes, so Manziel is deserving of a few mulligans today for his first start. Cleveland remains in the playoff hunt, though barely. This is the NFL, however, so the stakes are WAY higher. ![]() I understand the kid was great at Texas A&M and the national media jumped all over him eventually awarding him the Heisman Trophy. ![]() I got up this morning pretty excited for today’s Bengals Browns game and, within 5 minutes, the national, local and social media pissed me off.Īll they’re talking about is Johnny Manziel. Both Manziel and his team need to work a lot of shit out to succeed. Unfortunately, he showed no signs of being a competent NFL QB. I still feel like Coach Pettine was pressured by owner Jimmy Haslam and GM Ray Farmer to start Manziel.Īs a whole, Cleveland’s offense isn’t designed for a scrambling QB like Manziel, so Johnny pretty much got thrown into the fire yesterday. Having said all that, I’m a Browns fan so I have to support Manziel as QB1. Special Teams didn’t do us any favors getting us in good field position to start drives and that sucks, but Manziel couldn’t get us near the redzone or even close enough for new K Garrett Hartley to attempt a FG. More WRs dropped a few more passes yesterday, but that shit’s been happening all year. When an offense has nine possessions and goes three and out on six of ’em for 18 plays and 17 yards that’s an offensive problem so ya can’t blame the defense for getting gassed. Stupid Browns fans think these defenders are super human and fatigue is not an issue. Manziel’s offense couldn’t stay on the field for much more than 2 minutes after that drive so the defense got tired. LB Bark Mingo extended that drive with a stupid roughing the passer penalty. Yeah, they DID give up a seven minute TD drive to the Bengals to start the game. If he’s gonna be the future QB of this team he’s gotta be incredibly smart or he’ll get injured.Īlright, so Manziel totally blew it yesterday, but I told you all a few excuses I wouldn’t accept because they were shit the previous starting QB was dealing with all season.Ī lot of people are saying the defense stunk it up. He’s short at 5’11” and just looks tiny overall. People were freaking out last week that our previous starting QB was throwing off the back of his feet, ya know, ripping his fundamentals! There were a few times yesterday Manziel totally scrapped the fundamentals and leaped before throwing. At the end of this GIF Manziel appears to be someone shitting who ate really hot wings the night before. The best QBs in the league are generally pretty stone faced whether they’re playing good or bad. You can see in his face he was rattled early on. Why just this week and not every week? Poiseĭude’s got none. Apparently the week leading up to this game was the first week Manziel went above and beyond studied a lot, came in early and stayed late. ![]() I’ve heard stuff coming out of the Browns locker room that Manziel did everything he needed to do during the fourteen weeks he sat on the bench. I’m not gonna do a play by play on the game, but there are a few things I want to touch on that Manziel fans don’t wanna talk about. Yeah, Manziel IS a rookie, but holy crap… Stay tuned for the terms of Mingo’s reported contract with the Falcons.Well there ya have it fools! Ya wanted to see what Johnny Manziel could do and now ya know. Mingo gives Atlanta another EDGE to pair with Dante Fowler Jr., but should mostly be a depth signing. ![]() Mingo played with the Chicago Bears in 2020, racking up 35 tackles (23 solo), 2.5 sacks, five QB hits and two passes defended.Īs the Falcons alter their defense under defensive coordinator Dean Pees, the team is expected to run more 3-4 looks than in years past. Mingo, a top-10 pick of the Cleveland Browns back in 2013, never made the impact scouts predicted coming out of college, but the former LSU linebacker has lasted eight years in the NFL. Source: #Panthers RB Mike Davis to the #Falcons on a 2 year deal worth $5.5M with $3M fully guaranteed in Year 1, source says.īoth the linebacker and running back positions were extremely thin due to the team’s lack of salary cap space, which has caused Atlanta to take a conservative approach to free agency thus far. Some LB depth and special teams help from the former first-rounder. More #Falcons news: Atlanta is signing former #Bears LB Barkevious Mingo to a 1-year deal, source said. This comes just twenty minutes after agreeing to terms with running back Mike Davis on a two-year contract. The Falcons have signed free agent OLB Barkevious Mingo to a one-year deal, according to a report by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport on Tuesday morning. ![]()
