Johnny Manziel expresses his anger towards Colorado's Shedeur Sanders over his comments about the o-line: "I’d be absolutely furious."
Last week, Colorado had a tough game against Sanders.
Last week, Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders faced criticism when he seemed to shift the responsibility for the team's offensive difficulties onto the linemen who safeguard him.
In the latest episode of the "Big Bets on Campus" podcast, Johnny Manziel, a Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback who played for the Texas A&M Aggies, confronted Coach Prime's son.
"If I were an O-lineman at Colorado, I would be extremely frustrated. I can't comprehend how you can do this, the former star quarterback stated through the New York Post. I don't understand how you can betray your teammates who you work with closely on a weekly basis."
Sanders' poorly thrown ball resulted in a pick six, and Manziel attributed a lot of "blame" to that play.
Sanders left the game with time remaining and later discussed why the offense was underperforming.
How many times did Raiola get touched? Sanders asked, referring to Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola, via Sports Illustrated. Of course, when you're able to run the ball consistently, that opens up the pass, you know?
"To succeed, it's crucial to recognize your team's strengths. Why would we persist in running the ball when we encounter a critical opportunity and fail to seize it?"
Throwing teammates under the bus is a grave mistake that players should avoid at all costs, according to Manziel.
For me and my past experiences, your O-line are the ones who ride with me and rock with me through thick and thin, even when frustration arises.
"When your quarterback is hit late, the first people you see are your O-linemen. This may make some of them hesitant to pick you up after a few people may bang you around on the defensive side."
On Saturday night, Colorado State will face off against Sanders in a massive game.
