lol... not tacos, but on the way back towards civilization (AKA Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake) yet still in the middle of nowhere, there was a gas station that had converted into a giant jerky stand... all kinds of meats... all kinds of flavorings.
Perfect climate for jerking...

You will be happy to know that our detour on Historic Route 66 out of Kingman, Ariz. to Seligman actually has a place called Peach Springs that got bypassed by the building of I-40. Ironically only one place just to the east of it took advantage of the kids movie Cars by naming his place Radiator Springs Gas.
And as much as we searched we never did see Martin Milner and George Maharis. LOL!

Well... continued progress tonite...
I saw a lot of good... good pre-snaps... good movement... eyes downfield... and a command of the Offense (including climbing on West for missing a blitz pick-up). A lot of good, but the best thing I saw was the sack JM took on third and long when blitzed to end his 2nd series IIRC.
You could tell he was tempted to try and make a throw even though he was "in the grasp", but thought better of it and ate the ball. If he can do this, if he can adopt a "first do no harm" approach, then he has a chance to be this team's QB.

He has made a lot of progress from a pure no huddle to a full time huddle O. I agree on eating it. I was silently yelling, "Don't throw, don't throw!!"
Most disappointing at the end was his receivers not yet understanding that when the internal clock runs out, start looking to come back to him because it's better than 50-50 he has extended the play. They have just as much to learn about him as he does the offense.
-
Getting better and better. He needed help at the end, but didn't get much. I think that's in part due to the doubt of his teammates. When he shows them that confidence that "we will win", guys will believe and make those plays.
Assuming he continues on his upward trend.

somewhere there is a guy bent over or on his knees.....right in front of another guy....named Taco....

As for the game tonight, I was only able to catch the second half. I came away rather impressed with Manziel's performance tonight. He had a couple nice throws and didn't make any back breaking mistakes. It might be baby steps but, at the very least, it's in the right direction.
-
I saw only a few good throws.. most of his passes were wobbly and he still has trouble making reads and relies too much on the hot route. he stares down receivers in a bad way.. I was at the game.. yay he got a td against scrubs that will for the most part.. not make the bills roster.. get a grip.... when it counted against 3rd and 4th stringers.. he sucked..

Manziel looked good. McCown looked terrible. Looks like a controversy in Cleveland.

His teammates on the field were also 3rd and 4th stringers. Also, this is pretty much his rookie year due to being a fuck up last year in his personal life.
I don't hold out much hope for the guy but I will certainly give credit where it is due. He played alright against the backups for a really good defense.
-
Yep...Id say Johnny is looking much better than what we saw last season.....taking steps in the right direction.....got a little taste of keeping the play alive...I like the progress Im seeing....
In his defense, the 2nd team O Line has sucked royally and Johnny has had zeee-ro time...to stand in the pocket....which barely exists. Thinking he'd be even better with some blockers and receivers......time will tell.....Im much more encouraged now than before....
-
Well....Housler did finally catch a few last night.....though, Id say Bibbs is looking better......and better......
Not seeing us keep 4 plus a FB....so, my bubble has Housler and Dray on it......and Housler dont block....sooooo
-
Yep, assuming Barnidge is fine after concussion checks, he's #1, backed up by Bibbs. Then does Pett want a blocker or a receiver as the #3? My money's not on the 'flashy' player.

Housler is a really big dude and he has that going for him, but even his catches looked "awkward". He double caught one for sure. Bibbs as you've noted on the other hand looks really good out there.

Manziel showed some more good things last night which is encouraging. The 10-18 number is pretty misleading because he had at least two drops, two dumb penalties and little protection at the end of the game. He had a really nice deep throw rolling out to his weak side and on his TD pass didn't run when he had a lane. He shouldn't and won't be the week 1 one guy but I'm encouraged by what we've seen so far.
McCown on the other hand struggled. Now I'll be the first to admit the Buffalo defense is crazy good, I can't believe how fast they are more than anything else. I still thought though that McCown left the pocket early way too many times and the 2nd INT was pretty bad. Hopefully though with the extended rest we can actually put a full squad of the one's out there against Tampa. Don't forget it's just preseason and the Browns practiced against the Bills all week.

The good news is that Barnidge is already cleared....no concussion.....so we will see him back at practice and against TB....

Agree, but right now I'm wondering where our vaunted 1st Team "Best Oline in the NFL" is hiding? Because the unit that rolled out there last night sure wasn't them. Pre-season I know, but my concern is growing.

I don't get concerned about scores or how units do in pre-season. I want to see key players of the future progress. What I saw from Shelton, JM, Cooper especially and Orchard gives hope for the season to come.

Not concerned about scores. Getting concerned about how some of our "perceived" strengths are competing. Specifically on offense.
