Should call Tennessee and offer Manziel and McCown for Mettenberger

[Furious Styles]

Somebody wake me up when the regular season starts !

Does anyone else want to punch Gruden in the face?? How many times does he need to repeat his rant on lack of continuity?? PS........ Wooooooooo Manziel for president

I had a couple of drinks tonight and opinions were like kittens i was giving them away: Mccown looked horrible but had a lot of pressure courtesy of our somewhat porous line. Manziel on the other hand looks great! I think he should start game 1 based on tonight's performance, but there are two other preseason games to be played. The defense is solid with only letting up 3 points thus far. I hope we win, boys and continue to win! Cheers!

If Johnny doesn't play much this season I would do this. Mettenberger is a stud. Titans are idiots for using a first rounder on a QB after getting him.

Ok got it (with several beers): Trade Haslem or the man he picked and can move in to the Jimmy Tenn. home and we get Mettenberger. OK. Make that phone call.. and get back to us.

I don't believe Manziel is equipped to punish a defense that has no qualms about sending zero blitzes regularly. Nor A gap pressure for that matter.

Vids are up on team site of post-game pressers by Pet, Josh and JM...

What a joke our secondary is. It doesn't matter what team we're playing against or what offensive scheme we're playing against, it doesn't matter, none of it. If it is 3rd down and 50 the other team will convert on our secondary.

Our pass defense on 3rd down is absolutely horrendous.

[tiamat63]

Re: Manziel. I see things that would indicate 'some' growth. However I also see a QB that still gets a #1 target locked into his mind pre-snap.

He doesn't appear comfortable playing mind games at the line like some of the great ones seem to do. Now, do I think he's putting in time and making some better decisions? Yes. Did I see the 'best game as a Pro, he's making leaps and bounds in progress'..? No. He still is yet to be ready as anNFL starter. I could highlight examples and missed reads. One of those appears to be a receiver and QB not being on the same page. The others were all on Johnny.

There is a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. Is it heaven or an on-coming train? Not sure yet.

While the lack of discipline and holes in man coverage is concerning, what did you expcect? We're using Bademosi as a CB/Big Nickel. Then two players that barring a miracle might see the practice squad. I believe I did a little write up on Gaines before the draft and he scared me as a man coverage CB. Toss in rookies learning a new system, these are the results. Sky isn't falling there, guy.

[gumby73]

That's a good defense we played. Our offense can move at times and inconsistent duties at times. Our Defense cannot continue to tackle like this and pressure than not finish and let the man out. Our Special Teams is kicking ass with Lee and good returns. Damn I hope to see our full team in TB and get the full picture with FB,WR and better DB play.. We still tied for First place People.

[BaconHound]

This team looks like well the Browns. QB play terrible, defense no pressure and WRs that do not do anything special...

You realize that that is not our first string secondary right genius?
