1) Woulda been a good post if you had stopped here.....oh well.....
2) Woulda, shoulda, coulda......but.....we didnt....so why cry about the past?.....
Cant change the pick, so I say support Johnnys new found effort(and your team) instead of crying about year old spilled milk....
Teddy Bilgewater is a viking.....Sammy Watkins is a Bill.....Justin Gilbert and Johnny Manziel are Browns.....embrace it.....
Even though you're critiquing me, I agree with you 100%. Time we all wipe our tears and move on from these mistakes. I just hope it doesn't cost them their jobs because I really like this tandem of Farmer/Pet

they won't get fired by haslam for the manziel pick when it was the owner himself that wanted the pick to begin with.

Teddy = "Mechanical" 2
Johnny = "Scrambler" 7
Shaw = "Gritty" 5
I agree that Shaw is gritty. I'll also add that between the ears, he's the better QB in that group. He might not have the physical talents of the other two, but he rarely misses a read or an opportunity. He get's the strategy and x/o's. If his arm strength really has improved, he could surprise us again some day.

Gary Barnidge is listed as a starter on the Browns' unofficial depth chart, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Barnidge is listed as a starter on the Browns' unofficial depth chart, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis:
Regardless of whether he beats out Jim Dray and Rob Housler for the starting job, Barnidge won't have a major role in the passing game. He's carved out a nice career as a blocking-oriented backup tight end, but he only has 44 receptions in 92 career games. Dray is a similar player, leaving Housler as the only real threat to contribute as a receiver. In all likelihood, Cleveland will rank near the bottom of the league in receptions and receiving yards from tight ends.
Browns head coach Mike Pettine said it is obvious that Housler needs to work on his catching, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Browns head coach Mike Pettine said it is obvious that Housler needs to work on his catching, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis:
Housler has reportedly struggled at training camp, including two or three drops Tuesday alone. He managed to find work with a team that's badly in need of playmakers in the passing game, yet he's still only listed third on the initial depth chart, behind blockers Gary Barnidge and Jim Dray, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Though Housler still has a very real shot to emerge as Cleveland's top receiving threat at tight end, that won't necessarily be saying a whole lot, as it's not an impressive group.
Browns' Thomas dodges knee injury, Manziel rests sore elbow
Aug 11 2015, 1:08 PMThe Associated Press
BEREA, Ohio - Cleveland Browns backup quarterback Johnny Manziel was limited in practice by a sore right elbow but is expected to play Thursday night in Cleveland's exhibition opener against Washington.
Manziel did not throw any passes with his right arm - he made a couple tosses left-handed - on Tuesday. Manziel wore a long sleeve on his right arm and only handed off during the drills he participated in.
''We just wanted to rest him for the day,'' Browns coach Mike Pettine said. ''It was just an accumulation of reps and it started getting a little sore. We would do that with any of the guys, but he was the one who was experiencing some stiffness.''
Manziel had his arm heavily wrapped following Friday's scrimmage in Columbus, but Pettine said that is ''standard'' treatment with all the team's QBs.
The 2012 Heisman Trophy winner, Manziel has had an impressive training camp as he tries to shake off a rotten rookie season, which was followed by a 10-week rehab stay. Manziel is listed as Cleveland's No. 2 quarterback behind Josh McCown.
Manziel has shown improvement the past two weeks and completed 9 of 11 passes for 93 yards and two touchdowns in the Browns' intrasquad scrimmage at Ohio State.
The Browns got good news on Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Thomas, who did not sustain any significant damage when he was hit on the right knee toward the end of Monday's practice.
Thomas did not practice Tuesday, but that was a planned rest day for the veteran. Thomas had his knee struck from behind by rookie defensive tackle Danny Shelton, who inadvertently fell into the eight-time Pro Bowler while being blocked on a running play on Monday.
Pettine said Thomas may still play against the Redskins.
Injuries have been a major issue for the Browns since camp opened. Starting wide receiver Dwayne Bowe remains sidelined with a hamstring injury and Terrelle Pryor, trying to switch from quarterback to receiver, is also out with a hamstring issue that has lingered longer than expected. Also, rookie running back Duke Johnson is still out with a hamstring problem.
The Browns have major plans in their offense for Johnson, a third-round pick and Miami's career rushing leader.
Dwayne Bowe (hamstring) will not play in Thursday's preseason opener against the Redskins, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Bowe (hamstring) will not play in Thursday's preseason opener against the Redskins, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis:
Bowe has been limited by a hamstring injury since last week, but there's been no indication that it could threaten his Week 1 availability. He likely would have played just one or two series in Thursday's game, as he's expected to lock down a starting role without much competition.
Terrelle Pryor (hamstring) isn't practicing Tuesday and is unlikely to play in the Browns' preseason opener Thursday against the Redskins, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Pryor (hamstring) isn't practicing Tuesday and is unlikely to play in the Browns' preseason opener Thursday against the Redskins, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis:
Pryor has now missed a full week of practice, even though he initially deemed his absence to be precautionary. Once healthy, he'll hope to earn a roster spot as the fourth or fifth wide receiver, though he could eventually work his way up an unimpressive depth chart.

Really think Barnidge now has a golden opportunity to shine at TE and he's working hard to prove it daily at camp. Barnidge really never had a shot at Carolina with Newton just out of Auburn with no throwing accuracy when he was there. Barn got his feet wet with Cameron here. Now the door is wide open at TE and he's been around long enough not to miss out on his opportunity. The Zona fans maybe right on Housler, the drops and nows the time to find it. Go Bibbs and Dray!!

This is mildly disappointing. Wasn't Housler brought on to be the pass catching sucks at blocking tight end?
If he isn't sucking at blocking, then who is gonna suck at blocking?
-
Correct... Housler's blocking is sub-par, but he also came with a hands question.
His assets are speed and size.

But without any blocking or catching, how are those supposed to be applied?

Did you miss him last year as well???

Getting out of town fast with his $1mm?

Maybe, just maybe this opens the door for Pryor to play like a hybrid TE/WR.....or maybe for rookie Michael at the H Back Hybrid Fullback/TE.

Don't think Johnny's got the tools but I hope I'm wrong
-
We will get a better idea tonight.
-
i might move to texas and join war and ag69's JF fan club if he keeps showing me stuff like he did last night.
any room on that manziel suck-a-nut bandwagon?
-
Just HORRIBLE!
7 for 11?!?!? and 0 TD passes.
Missed 4 passes. Inexcusable.
-
Manziel looks much better then last year. He has grown up.
