Could Browns Release Lewis Today?
-
FWIW, Matthew Berry of ESPN just said that he considers Jamal Lewis a sleeper in fantasy football this year (for where he's getting picked - usually, extremely late.)
His reasons were that Lewis has the 2nd best "stuff" percentage in the NFL (meaning that when he gets a goal line carry he gets the ball in the end zone,) that Mangini coached teams run the ball inside the 10 yard line more often than 26 other teams in the NFL (meaning Jamal will get the red zone touches,) and that Jamal had 1200 total yards last year.
That's just fantasy stuff, and it doesn't really have to do with whether or not Jamal has anything left - but, we know that Lewis despite no flash will be important to this team but from a leadership standpoint, and from a production and red zone stand point.

Lewis is done. Been saying that since 2 years ago.

two years ago when you claim you were saying he was done he had the most yards by anyone in a Browns uni not named James Brown.
yeah, the AFCN is just a breeze to run in, huh Bub? some people are never happy i guess.
IMO Lewis still has life, even if he's no longer considered sexy. I still think he'll break 1k this year if he stays healthy. he's been sandbaggin' this summer--they know who he is, he's one of the few that didn't need to audition for the new regime.

as long as he's durable and it keeps the defense honest who cares? pick someone else for your fantasy team solon.
the team has holes, no doubt, but they could be a HELL of a lot bigger. what do you want? 80 yards a game X 16 = 1280? in the AFCN? good luck.
games can be consistently won with superior play-calling and execution>>>it doesn't require 150-175 yards on the ground. like i said, some people are never happy i guess.

I agree - and if at the very least they use Harrison / Davis by comittee, and plug in Lewis in situations when defenses arent stacked 8 in the box, with a QB who can throw a screen pass ... Seems to me, the offensive game plan opens up more than what they got last year. BY far the running game is very important and we need an experienced back, especially late in the season, if we find ourselves in a meaningful push against Balt / Pitt.

i'm pretty well convinced this is Jamal's last year with us but in the meantime he's easily serviceable IMO and if Jamal doesn't have a productive year i'll be shocked.
let's hope his replacement is already on the team roster>>not just to be ahead of the curve but also to take advantage of his veteran leadership and wisdom while he's still around.

Is Jerome Harrison still injured ?

a RB w/ the 1st rd pick? i'll pass.
he'd be an awesome pickup though.
Hell yes a rb with first round pick!!!

i'll admit i wanted AD real bad...and am still pining like you, but i've come around to the idea that backs can be found in later rounds and they are somewhat plug and play anyway. 1st round doesn't guarantee durability so it's not enough value for me. personally for me to even consider it he would need to be a once in 20 years type player.
