Johnny Manziel....


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

Watched the Cleveland game from Sunday.

Yes, Manziel looked bad. But....

His team let him down in the first quarter. Manziel actually looked decent, made some nice throws that were dropped on key third downs.

By the second quarter it was 17-0. I don't care who the rookie QB is, if he is down 17-0 it wont be pretty. The defenses will pin their ears back and take more chances.

In short, he had a very bad game, but it was exacerbated by a bad Browns first quarter all around.

If the Panthers can't score TDs early, this will be a close game.

Yep...Johnny played bad but he was pretty much set up to fail by his team too.

We let freaking sucks ass Martin run on us....so Clev should fair better at providing Johnny with some form of a run game to play off of.

Also we tend to get blasted by 3-4 defenses and have been living the good life vs piss poor 4-3 defenses of late.

It seems we always play better when we start quickly. Plus, getting Manziel and the Browns offense down early, will  give us a chance to pressure him and gamble more on defense.

Panthers have a history of making rookies and backups look like HOFers... if you're taking the Browns lightly then you haven't been paying attn.

facing a 3-4 after catching several bad 4-3 defenses is by far my biggest worry

At least this 3-4 has one of the worst run defenses in the league.  If Stewart can go ham, we just need to stay ahead of them and control the clock.  Just can't get burnt by Gordon or let the shrimp-douche make a big run.

    • down 24 and we get our first possession in the 3rd and what happens?  run TE checkdown TE checkdown run run run RB checkdown TE checkdown run TE checkdown incomplete TE checkdown run now on the 4 yard line- Renfrow TD and POOF!  3rd quarter is over.  That's not a team even trying to get back into the game in reality.  That's just the Panthers taking freebies to make it look respectable in the end and guess what? Bryce gets to pad on 6/7 to his stat line in exchange for making the 3rd quarter disappear.  Not sure the hyper focus on the depth of the corners.  Cardinals were going to simply drop and allow the easy stuff underneath.  Which they did.  Did they play a random short yardage play a little different? Sure.  That doesn't' mean they weren't just letting the Panthers overall eat clock to bring the game to an end.  The Cards strategy was fine on D.  You just don't generally see teams implement it as early as they did but they were up pretty big.  It's the other units for the Cards that fugged the plan up.  again, it's 3 drives,  the ONE in the 3rd quarter and only drive of the entire quarter and the 2 to open the 4th.  Cardinals gave Bryce stuff in exchange for clock  (and the result was slow long drives eating the clock).  The rest of the game? They didn't.  The rest of the game outside of those 3 drives the Cards weren't in garbage allowance mode and Bryce stunk
    • But a serious question is, does he not see a guy come open because he misses seeing them on the field, which happens to every QB, or, is his vision blocked by the wide bodies in front of him instead of the helmets other QBs experience? For instance missing a wide open Chuba. Did he not see him or could he literally not see him? I tend to think the latter is a far bigger problem than we're being led to believe it is. 
    • Agree he needs to clean up the costly turnovers. My opinion is that he's pretty good other than that. But that's kind of a big deal, so absolutely needs to minimize that stuff or he can't succeed. I don't beat up a QB because he occasionally doesn't see a guy come open. Every QB does that - occasionally.
