  • I agree with Hue. A running game lives and dies by it's offensive line. That's why we drafted Coleman,& Drango to bolster the power run game. That's why I think the Cowboys drafting Ezekiel Elliot might've been a waste for them. Their o-line is so good that they could've gotten a mid-rounder to perform well enough to give them a solid run game.

    Yes, it also relies on its QB and play calling. McCown was a target and Johnny was his own running game at times.

    There were a lot of things that went into our poor run game performance last year, the least of which was lack of talent with Crown and Duke.

    They may flourish in Hugh's system with a dual threat QB with a big arm.

    The Browns weren't a passing threat, outside of Barnidge.

    To boost the run game, the Browns drafted the wr's that will make a

    giant difference in the passing game, and defenses won't be

    able to just set up to stop the run, and let the passing game struggle

    with double covering Barnidge.

  • Alfred Morris signs with the Cowboys then the Cowboys draft Zeke. Also Murray gets traded to the Titans and the Titans then draft Henry. I say one of these two (Murray and Morris) get cut or are now in the trade market. It wouldn't take too much.

    I don't think Hue and the gang is worried about the RB position. He has Crow, Duke, and Terrell Watson (a kid Hue brought over from the Bengals). Bringing in guys who have a ton of miles on them doesn't make much sense on a rebuilding team.

    Morris or Murray are better than anyone on the Browns current roster. It's going to be a team effort keeping RG3 upright and the running game is crucial.

    Just a prediction...I bet we land one of these two.

    A 27 and 28 year old who took beatings and tons of carries. I have my doubts that they will pick either up. Hue's interview pretty much confirms this.

    If he's talking about a RB for the future having one that does the side step block sure as heck isn't rebuilding. And Hue getting RG3 is a bit hypocritical then if he thinks getting a RB with some tread off his tires doesn't bode well for the future of a team.

    I think they play who they have so they know if they need to draft a kid next year. No one should expect much this year.

    Hue is making a misstake if he doesnt get a experienced RB on the roster. It's ok to get a qb with two bum knees but not bring in a vet RB?

    If Murray gets beat out by Henry, would we really want him? Morris "maybe". And mostly because him and RG would gel quick.

    To paraphrase Ghoolie: "Running backs are a dime a dozen". If the Browns need a veteran for training camp or beyond, they can get one.

    For whatever reason in this day and age it seems that RBs who may be UDFAs can turn out better oftentimes than RBs that are somewhat high picks.

  • I agree with Hue. A running game lives and dies by it's offensive line. That's why we drafted Coleman,& Drango to bolster the power run game. That's why I think the Cowboys drafting Ezekiel Elliot might've been a waste for them. Their o-line is so good that they could've gotten a mid-rounder to perform well enough to give them a solid run game.

    The NFL equivalent of sour grapes. Elliott will propel them deep into the playoffs and if we have a lick of sense, we find a way to get Fornette on our team next year.

    This season will determine whether or not they feel that using a high first round pick on a RB is a necessity. If Crow, Duke, and Watson get the job done then they won't worry about it.

    They have not demonstrated that kind of ability yet, so we shall see indeed.

    With more dangerous weapons out there Crow and Duke will feast on them yards.
