After another exciting week in the NFL, TSNs Chris Schultz offers his thoughts on the Browns quarterback situation, Jeff Fishers choice of captains for the coin toss and more. 1. All week, the Cleveland Browns were embroiled in Manziel or Hoyer and, after watching the Colts win 25-24, maybe it is time to go with Manziel. I am not much of a Johnny Football fan as he seems to have an edge of arrogance that is not earned on the field. Maybe I am wrong because sometimes arrogance is confidence just misinterpreted by those on the outside. But his money gestures I dont get. Is he saying he is money if he ever gets on the field or that he is getting money and wants everyone to know? Either way, he should stay humble and play. Pro football can humble you as fast as it can create you and trying to have a career as opposed to an experience in this sport is different. Very few actually have experienced a career. Thousands more just an experience. The bottom line with Brian Hoyer is he has trouble throwing consistently with accuracy at moving targets. I counted five times in the loss that he was clean and clear but could not deliver. With Cincinnati, Carolina and Baltimore left, it would be the ultimate in experience, much better than three exhibition games next summer. He would be playing with starters in meaningful games so at the end of the season, you know what you got. In the 2015 draft, there are three or four good quarterbacks and some serious underplayed ones that could be surprises. Brian Hoyer is good but he is not great, and probably why New England let him go. 2. The hardest position to play in modern football is defensive back on 3rd and long. Even though there are crystal clear rules on what is and what is not legal, I still look at pass interference as a judgment call. In the New England-San Diego game, you could have called Patriots corner Brandon Browner on every play the ball was thrown his way while covering Malcom Floyd for San Diego. He did get called but sometimes he did not. NFL receivers have never been better, taller and faster with longer reach and teams throw the ball more than ever. Out there on an island and in space, it is easy to call illegal contact or pass interference because there is no congestion with bodies. In one play, the game can change and it is you and the receiver and no one else. It is similar to the centre, guard or tackle that has 60 good plays and one bad one and the bad one changes the game. With a defensive back, it produces six points at the toughest position to play and play well. 3. If, and only if, Arizona wins the division, Bruce Arians should be NFL coach of the year. No Carson Palmer, no Larry Fitzgerald and no Andre Ellington and on defence, five other starters have been absent at various times. Great teams have great depth and great depth is due to exceptional scouting and coaching individual players to improve. When you look at the Chiefs and Cardinals, the Cardinals should have lost. I know luck exists but planning, preparation and responding to pressure in a moment is much more tangible. Arizona is not lucky, they just prepare to win. 4. In Baltimore, the Ravens have three games they can win: Jacksonville, at Houston and Cleveland. Blake Bortles, Ryan Fitzpatrick and probably Manziel. With Baltimore, you see Joe Flacco as relaxed and confident more now than earlier in the season. Only seven incomplete passes is outstanding and I know within the division, Roethlisburger is the most dramatic but Flacco is catching up. Four players have made a difference for Baltimore and the first is Steve Smith, who just brings a desire and emotion to a team that all teams need. Not all players can be leaders and not all can be followers but leaders are a necessity and followers a reality. Smith is the emotional leader that is not in Joe Flaccos personality. Then there first two draft picks in C.J. Mosley at middle linebacker and Timmy Jernigan at defensive tackle. When you can get two starters in a single draft, you have done well and both are choices by Ozzie Newsome. Suspended Haloti Ngata was not missed. And in free agency, Eugene Monroe has done well. When Jonathan Ogden retired, the likelihood of finding the next one was unrealistic. So you kinda pick and choose, try and experiment until you find the next player even close. Monroe is not the next Ogden but he is close enough. 5. There are three teams that are desperately regressing for maybe the same reasons: San Francisco, New Orleans and Washington. To me, all three head coaches have similar push, push and push some more personalities. Nothing wrong with that but its not working. Bill Belichick pushes and it works but with Jim Harbuagh, the players are not responding. Sean Payton the same. As for Jay Gruden, it is surprising because it is his first year. The worst thing he could do is not have RG3 next year. There are very few players with his potential and yes, he has gone from rookie of the year and NFC East champion to the bench, but he can get it back; just re-dedicate. 6. I am a big Jeff Fisher fan in St. Louis and after shutting out Oakland and Washington, his team is on its way. They are going to be a team no one wants to play and Arizona, New York Giants and Seattle still have to. The captains for the Redskin game were the six players they received for the RG3 trade. I dont know why or for what purpose that served in Washington with RG3 on the sidelines. I guess it was a good comparative point to be made but also insulting to the Redskin organization. Just didnt seem like the right thing to do at the right time. Jeff Fisher surprised me on that one. 7. In Denver, the Broncos beat the Bills 24-17 and Peyton Manning threw 20 passes; 20. I have never seen or heard of Manning winning a game with only 20 passes. Kyle Orton threw 57 passes for the Bills. If the Broncos can continue to have success running and not taking the risks with too many passes, then a good playoff run will happen. The Broncos have had problems with the right tackle position. Moving Manny Ramirez from centre to right tackle was an immense risk that has worked out well. And I wonder if that is a reason for running success as much as CJ Anderson and others. 8. Just like in Super Bowl XLVIII in New York City, a great defence beat a great offence as Seattle beat 24-10. Remembering that seven of the points came on the Jon Ryan mishandled 4th down snap. It is always interesting how a season changes in a short time. Now Philadelphia is tied with Dallas and plays Dallas this week but Dallas has time coming off the easy win in Chicago. Dallas had three days to get ready for Philadelphia in the first game, now they have 10. Football is the ultimate team preparation sport and Dallas will be rested and ready this week as last time, they were exhausted and not properly prepared. Best game of Week 15 should be Dallas at Philadelphia for inside track in the NFC East. 9. Opening drive; Touchdown Green Bay. Yes, they do have the best quarterback in football with the best arm, but who thought Eddie Lacy would be such a good power back? Coming out of Alabama, he was considered a risk as his dedication was questioned. Whoever thought that David Bakhtiari would develop into an above average left tackle as fourth round draft pick? And at centre, Cory Linsley was a fifth round pick. I remember Week 1 in Seattle where Linsley was the weak link at centre and looked like it. Not any more. In the first half, the Packers had 43 plays, 21 first downs and 30 points. Green Bay at home is going to be tough to beat. In the second half, you have to give credit to Atlanta for playing to win. I am not sure who is a better receiver; Jordy Nelson or Julio Jones. Both are at the top of their respective wide receiver games. Regrets for each team; Atlanta that they did not play defence at a higher level in the first half and Green Bay that they didnt play better defense in the second half. Nate Lowe Rays Jersey . Hargreaves began his career in 2008 with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and has played with the Edmonton Eskimos and last season with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Yonny Chirinos Rays Jersey . Minutes before the final whistle of Sporting Kansas Citys 3-0 victory over a shorthanded Montreal Impact squad on Saturday afternoon, Saputo tweeted: "Our fans deserve better. https://www.cheapraysonline.com/256i-joe...ersey-rays.html. Anor had not scored since getting his first two goals of the season vs. Philadelphia on March 22 but struck with laser precision from distance in the 56th and 75th minutes. Montreal (3-10-5) lost its third straight and Impact coach Frank Klopas said it literally was a case of his players not stepping up. Tyler Glasnow Rays Jersey . It was just time for him to make a big play. Nicolas Batum had 20 points and 10 rebounds, Wesley Matthews scored 18 points, and the Trail Blazers overcame poor-shooting nights by two of their best players in a 94-90 victory over the New York Knicks on Wednesday. Tyler Glasnow Jersey . Each day, TSN.ca provides the latest rumours, reports and speculation from around the NHL beat. Defensive Depth TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun is reporting the Toronto Maple Leafs have considerable interest in unrestricted free-agent defenceman Dan Boyle.ST. LOUIS - St. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Matheny says rumours that Adam Wainwright is hurt are overblown.Matheny is sticking with the same rotation that clicked in the first round, and Wainwright, the 20-game winner, is set to pitch Game 1 of the National League Championship Series against the San Francisco Giants. Matheny announced the starters on Thursday, two days ahead of the series opener.Matheny said before the Cardinals beat the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLDS Game 4 clincher that Lance Lynn was available on regular rest if Wainwright couldnt go.I think there were some things taken out of context and blown up probably more than they needed to be when it was a statement of basically the obvious ... in case something didnt look right, feel right, Mathheny said.dddddddddddd Hes fine and well just watch him closely like we watch everybody else.Lynn will work Game 2, followed by John Lackey and Shelby Miller. Michael Wacha, who didnt pitch in the Division Series, will remain a long-relief option out of the bullpen.Wainwright had a rough start in Game 1 of the Division Series, allowing six runs on 11 hits in 4 1-3 innings. His velocity was down and he seemed to be emphasizing his curveball more than usual.Matheny said it was stating the obvious, too, that Waino was struggling to find a good feel in Game 1.But thats happened at different times throughout our season and hes been able to bounce back and figure it out and make it work, Matheny said. Not just make it work but being the lead pitcher. ' ' '
