Browns coach There are problems to addre

Coach Mike Pettine said earlier this week that the wouldn't Keelan Doss Jersey punish second-year quarterback for a Christmas Eve video that showed him holding a can of Four Loko and dancing in front of a jersey. But Manziel, who on Wednesday, has since been ruled out of the season finale against the .Either way, Pettine admits that "there are problems" with Manziel that need to be sorted out this offseason.The latest from SportsLine"Here is a guy that has an NFL skill set, he's very talented, if you spend some time with him, he's a likable guy, you root for him," Pettine, via 's Mary Kay Cabot. "But there are problems there that we'll talk as we're headed to the offseason about getting addre sed. And I've said this before, we want to make sure that all of our players are in good shape as people first, players second. Christian Blake Jersey Because I don't think you can be as effective as you can be as a player if things aren't right off the field. And he's a good example of that."In February, Manziel checked himself into a rehab facility and spent 10 weeks there. Pettine said the team can't force Manziel to, for example, return to rehab after the season. "I don't think we can really mandate it, but there can be strong suggestions as far as how he handles it," Pettine said. "But by the rules of the league, we can't say , 'Hey, you need to come in here and meet with Kevin O'Connell three times a week.' It's against the rules. You John Cominsky Jersey can't do that. You've got to be able to send him off with a plan and check in every so often, and when the desire is there to want to get it changed and want to be better, hopefully you'll have a good result."Either way, Cabot reports that "the Browns have become increasingly concerned the past couple of months about Manziel's slide back to his old behaviors."And while Pettine may have concerns about Manziel, it's not clear that the coach will have a job with the Browns in a week's time Cordarrelle Patterson Jersey . Manziel has previously stated that he wants Pettine and the rest of the coaching staff to return next season."I want these guys to be here next year," the quarterback . "I want to have these receivers and the people that we have on this roster on the staff, so we can go through the spring Ray Buchanan Jersey and not have to learn what this call is and this play and be able to go through a spring and have some of the continuity. ... So it definitely would be a luxury, for sure."Of course, there's also a chance that Manziel isn't back in Cleveland, either. Partly because owner Jimmy Haslam has showed an astounding lack of patience with coaches and players, but also because in Dallas.
