    We need to be done with this. Turbin had a good spell and looks to be the one we should go with as the lead back. There's always gonna be plays for Duke but Turbin needs to be used like a lead back.

      I liked the talk coming out of the organization. Win the trenches, to this point not only are they losing that battle but it's getting laughable. Play Like A Brown, again great PR, but I guess play like a Brown means don't tackle, fumble and generally get your ass kicked.

      Before we worry about RB there are a lot more holes to fill

        Agree...

        Crow started and ran well between the tackles. So to start the second series we put in Duke and try the outside???

        You keep doing what is working with whomever is getting it done until the D takes it away. You want to give a different back 3rd downs? Fine... completely different thing.

        Our guys are versatile and reasonably interchangeable, but Duke is not an every down back.

          They've got a boner for Duke & Turbin though

            Running back by committee isn't working what so ever for the Browns. Watching Gurley run 128 yards with TWO touchdowns makes me sick.

            Next week it will be Chris Johnson, Andre Ellington doing the damage. It's gotten out of hand!

            Every running back has run for over 100 yards Latavius Murray, Forsett, Hillman, Gurley. They can't stop the run they can't run its a mess!

            DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

                Pettine likes Turbin a lot. I expect him to ease into lead back within the next few weeks.

                    I don't think the committee approach is an issue. Our offensive lines inability to open running lanes , yep that's an issue.
