Johnny Manziel....

[CRA]

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.

Have we run on a 3-4 D this season?

[The Huddler]

all im gunna say is we better not take him and the browns lightly. We need to focus on the browns and not the falcons

[Gucci Mane]

Hopefully Ron payed attention to what they did as a defense which they figured out early and never looked back... This should actually work well for us because we pretty much solely play zone schemes and thats what the bengals did after running man coverage in the first few plays of johnnys start.

Thomas Davis and Luke got this

The notable 3-4 blowout teams are 3rd and 11th against the run.  We're going against the 31st ranked run defense.  I'm not falling for this whole 3-4 curse or whatnot.  Given our momentum recently on the run and blocking side of things, there should be no excuses for not being able to run the ball come Sunday.

The Saints two games ago....yea they're probably the worst defense in the league but they are at least primarily a 3-4.

And they do that weird 3 safety crap too haha.

Manziel sucks. He threw for less than 100 yards in a blowout. Couldn't even get garbage time stats.

[RelaxImaPro]

I watched the game too, and I can probably only remember one decent throw by Manziel... and that's all it was - decent.

 

The dude's arm strength is terrible.  Every single one of his passes were floaters just waiting to get picked off.  That's likely going to be his biggest problem in the NFL.

 

If we can get pressure on him then we should have a couple of easy INTs this game.

 

 

 

Seriously, how many of these plays do you see working in the NFL from a 5 foot nothing quarterback with that sort of playstyle who isn't particularly fast, and a very questionable arm?  That isn't going to work against NFL defenders like it did in college where he'd only face an elite talent once in a while.  Every player he goes up against from here on out is elite compared to college.  This dude is a straight up media creation.

 

 

 

... that being said... he'll probably torch us for his first career win.

The Panthers have a habit of making bad/backup/rookie QB's look good.

Continuing to kick FGs also won't get it done.

We got Sanchezed on MNF.

Mr. Buttfumble.

Butt. Fumble.

Let that sink in.

I agree with you but your whole statement is predicated off of Ron paying attention.

[Marc Anthony]

Manziel sucks. He threw for less than 100 yards in a blowout. Couldn't even get garbage time stats.

He is now playing Ron, just..just..think about that for a moment....

[mcdougal]

One thing that I did think of today. Rivera needs to tell his defense that they better not mock Manizel until we are up by 30in the 4th. 

 

The Bengels drew at least one 15 yard penalty doing the money sign.

 

Gotta stay focus and give up any unnecessary penalties. 

[L-TownCat]

If it's anything other than close I'll be shocked.
