Johnny Manziel was content with his first time in a game in more than two years.
Manziel was 9-of-12 passing for 80 yards in his CFL debut as the Hamilton Tiger-Cats lost 36-18 to the Toronto Argonauts in an exhibition game Friday night.
"I felt like I was able to get in there and handle the situation well Anthony Miller Jersey Elite , get some completions and get the guys some balls," Manziel said. "I really wasn't nervous going into it, I was just kind of going out and letting the ball rip.
"Right now we're still in preseason so we'll get a little bit more tailor-made for the team and defense and what they do and scheme against them. I think that'll help us moving forward."
Manziel, playing for the first time since being released by the NFL's Cleveland Browns in March 2016, , faced a Toronto defense that was missing most of its starters and Hamilton coach June Jones was very conservative in his play-calling. The six-foot, 210-pound Manziel, who signed with the Tiger-Cats two weeks ago Cheap Jaleel Scott Jersey , directed five drives (22 plays) and was especially effective throwing on the run.
But Manziel's biggest complaint was receiving a 22-yard intentional ground penalty in the second half.
"That's the worst call of the century," Manziel said. "My whole life I've been taught to throw it right at the stick that's marking the down. ... I thought I got it there, he (official) told me I was about a yard short. That's the first time I've heard of that, that's new to me."
So too was running to the locker room at halftime and being told there still was a final play to run despite the clock having run out.
"I'm still learning some things up here," he said. "There's going to be some of those growing pains."
Hamilton, which played most of its starters, had seven turnovers in the first half 鈥?two interceptions, three fumbles and two on downs.
"Obviously you can't turn the ball over like that and ever have a chance to win a game Braden Smith Youth Jersey ," Jones said. "But he (Manziel) did some good things. He's got a good game presence about him. He knew what was going on ... he wasn't rattled, he wasn't flustered. Obviously he scrambled around and made a couple of plays. I think he's going to get better and better every time he plays."
Manziel, the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner, entered the game late in the first half and played much of the third quarter. The 25-year-old was solid on his final possession, engineering a 12-play, 62-yard drive that took 7:27 off the clock but also included the intentional grounding penalty.
Manziel threw for 80 yards and ran twice for 10 yards. However, Hamilton's biggest play was Frankie Williams' 73-yard punt return TD to end the third, cutting Toronto's lead to 33-13.
Manziel Authentic Orlando Brown Jr. Jersey , selected No. 22 overall in the first round of the 2014 NFL draft by Cleveland, appeared in 14 games for the Browns and was 2-6 in eight starts.
Former NBA star Dennis Rodman says he will travel to Singapore ”for the historical summit” between President Donald Trump and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, even though Trump says he wasn’t invited.
Rodman announced his plans via tweet Friday and thanked the cryptocurrency company PotCoin for sponsoring the trip. The tweet was quickly deleted and later reposted.
Rodman, who is among the few Westerners who have met the North Korean leader, said he would ”give whatever support is needed” to his ”friends” Trump and Kim.
White House officials have repeatedly said that Rodman would play no official role in the diplomatic negotiations and Trump said Thursday that the basketball legend had not been invited to the June 12 summit.
”I like him,” Trump said of Rodman. ”He’s a nice guy. No, he was not invited.”
Rodman’s tweet announcing the trip included a composite photo of him, Trump and Kim in front of the flags of both nations and the word ”unite.”
In a Fox News interview Thursday Chargers Cheap Jerseys , White House Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley said that Rodman is ”great on the court but negotiations should best be left to those who are good at it.”
”President Donald Trump is the best. So we expect he and Kim Jong Un to have an amazing conversation without Dennis Rodman in tow,” Gidley said.
Rodman has called the North Korean leader his ”friend for life.” Rodman first visited North Korea in 2013 with members of the Harlem Globetrotters and has returned several times. He held Kim’s daughter during a visit in 2013.
PotCoin has sponsored Rodman’s travel to North Korea in the past. In 2017, the Basketball Hall of Famer was photographed in North Korea wearing a PotCoin T-shirt and baseball cap. The cryptocurrency company gives marijuana businesses access to banking as an alternative to many financial institutions that will not do business with cannabis companies because marijuana is illegal under U.S. federal law.
Asked again on Friday whether Rodman would possibly be attending the summit, Trump said: ”Dennis was a great rebounder and he wasn’t relatively speaking that tall.”
The meeting next week in Singapore will be the first of its kind between a leader of North Korea and a sitting U.S. president.
