HA!

stoolers take it up da azz, doo da, doo da. stoolers take it up da azz all the live long day.

bitches!

if hoyer is in a rhythm and putting up points i doubt you see manziel at all.

if he does come in i hope he makes the steelers pay. i'd just hate to see the kid fail (like a fumble, or int or god forbid injury) and we'd all be bitching about how he should've never been put in.

Johnny Manziel could play in opener

PITTSBURGH, Pa. -- Cleveland Browns coach Mike Pettine told ESPN's Sal Paolantonio the team has prepared Johnny Manziel to play in the season opener against the Steelers, but the rookie's playing time would be a "feel thing."

AP Photo/Evan VucciCoach Mike Pettine said the Browns have prepared Johnny Manziel to play in the season opener, but the rookie's playing time would be a "feel thing."

"We have a package of plays for him," Pettine said at Heinz Field.

That was the first time Pettine admitted he had Manziel ready to play.

"It won't be alternating series," Pettine said. "It'll be a 'feel' thing."

Pettine first acknowledged the "feel" approach on Friday, but went further with Paolontonio. Pettine said Friday the decision would be based on "change of pace."

"I don't think there would be a strict set of parameters for when to do it," Pettine said.

Brian Hoyer won the starting job for the opener, but Manziel clearly brings different skills to the position. His elusiveness and quickness in the pocket could be valuable in certain down-and-distance and field-position situations.

The Browns, though, have followed the typical approach of keeping their opponents guessing. Though the Steelers said they expected to see Manziel, Pettine kept mum and remained noncommmital while admitting he had some plays for Manziel to run.

I don't know about anybody else, but this irks me a bit.

Let Hoyer play without breaking up his rhythm - give the guy a fair chance.

This is part of the reason we looked so inept in the Pre-Season.

As I do every year, I get excited as hell for tomorrow.

For the first time in a few years I am excited, too...

I'd describe the past few years opening game feeling as nervous anticipation...
