Johnny Manziel eager to bounce back from shutout

Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel has revealed that he is eager to bounce back from his disappointing NFL starting debut on Sunday.

The Browns ran an NFL season-low 38 offensive plays, with Manziel throwing for just 80 yards and two interceptions in the 30-0 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

"First time I've ever not scored a point or been shut out. Played in a lot of games, through high school and through college. Never been shut out, so it's definitely tough," Manziel told reporters.

"I left some throws on the field I would have wanted back. I felt like I could do everything I needed to from the pocket yesterday. Whenever I did have the chance to break the pocket, I felt some things happened where we weren't able to capitalise on."

Cleveland coach Mike Pettine agrees with the signal-caller's assessment that there were flashes of progress on the field but believes that the entire offense produced a poor display.

Pettine emphasised that Manziel had been "quite productive" in practices and he is keen to avoid judging him on his first NFL start alone.
