I think JL is probably playing his last season for the browns, if he is back it will only be because the coaches love his work ethic and leadership. He hasn't shown much so far tentatively tip-toeing to the line. Hit the hole already or hit somebody just do it at full speed please!

JD looks like he could be the steal of the draft so far, hopes he gets some reps vs Minnesota to see what he can do. I still would like to see Harrison involved more than in the past once he is healthy, he always seems to make somthing happen.

Harrison isnt very durable but i like him as an outside threat with davis or ali as threats on the inside in 2 back sets the options and possibilities are staggering for a QB but harrison is totally unproven as far as durability goes...

Lewis is to slow to be a serious threat on the ground but can still be a threat if he catches a pass while already on the move...

A victory usually leads to celebration, this win showed our needs at running back.
As much as i want JL to succeed, he's scaring me with his tap dance routines.

What do you see our backfeild looking like come midpoint of this season?

(Lawson could of had a td on that return but was caught from behind )

I haven't seen enough of Harrison to figure where he'll fit but assuming he builds on last year, I think by mid-season it will look like:

Harrison starts, Davis spells, JL on short yardage/jumbo.

If not, you could be looking at a 6th round pick starting for the Browns and that would be quite the story.

Either way, I don't see Lewis starting the whole season and that may work out better for him in the long run. I posted elsewhere about the importance of him as a leader though. I think the coaching staff welcomes his work ethic and professionalism and that's important too.
