The Facts: ESPNCleveland.com's Tony Grossi doesn't buy the theory that the Browns’ running game automatically will be a strength just because center Alex Mack is back and backs Isaiah Crowell and Terrance West are in their second seasons.
Diehards Line:
Grossi went on to note that Crowell has a real good nose for the end zone, "but his ball security scares me. West looks chunky in his second season and I keep hearing he is on thin ice because of maturity issues. Rookie Duke Johnson is out with a hamstring injury and there are some who say questionable durability is the reason the Miami Hurricanes all-time rusher lasted until the third round. The Browns added two camp bodies – Timothy Flanders and Jalen Parmele -- to the running back mix on Monday. The running game is supposed to be the bread and butter of the new Browns’ offense. And I don’t like the vibe at that position group." It's a situation worth watching because how much faith do we have in the passing attack?
