The Facts: Think Browns fans are excited about Hue Jackson and the offense he's bringing to their football team? You should hear the team's running backs. "I know I am," second-year back Duke Johnson said on Wednesday following practice, "especially, just seeing the way he used (running backs) in the past and just splitting them out wide. Getting the best out of them and using their strength in every way he can, so I'm excited to see. We're off to a good start already but just happy to see how far and how in-depth we go with the offense."

Diehards Line: Johnson's backfield mate, Isaiah Crowell, feels the same way. "I'm very excited about it because I know Hue likes to run the ball and I feel like running the ball is a very important factor in winning and losing," Crowell said. "I'm just, basically, happy about it." Jackson's offense in Cincinnati averaged 112.8 yards per game last season, a number that came despite the struggles of second-year back Jeremy Hill. Hill, who rushed for 1,124 yards as a rookie under Jackson, managed just 794 yards in 2015. His inconsistency was balanced by a career-high 730 yards out of Giovani Bernard. The Bengals managed 134.2 yards per game in 2014 under Jackson, good for sixth in the NFL while Jackson's Raiders were seventh in the league in 2011 at 131.9 yards per game when he was the head coach and second in the league in 2010 at 155.9 yards per game when Jackson was the offensive coordinator. Of those four seasons mentioned, Jackson's offense was never outside of the top 10 in rushing attempts. And if you're wondering how confident the Browns are in Johnson and Crowell, they demonstrated by selecting 14 players in the NFL Draft without adding a single running back.
