Koa Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Or is that pure speculation at this point? Is Jamal supposed to be back next week? Seriously, it's not even a contest at this point but I wish Mangini was asked about it in the last presser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mopaji Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I hope Lewis is back. We NEED a stronger back to share time with Harrison. I like him, but J. Lew is a huge part of us being able to run this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RestinPeace Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Harrison was "ok", but he isn't a feature back. That is what people were hoping Davis would develope into though he ran into some bad luck. It is by committee right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy Fan Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Well, Chris Jennings is stronger than Harrison and younger than Lewis. And Vickers is stronger than both. Harrison, Vickers, and Cribbs is the only 3 we should let run the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koa Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 And Vickers is stronger than both. Harrison, Vickers, and Cribbs is the only 3 we should let run the ball. Let's leave Vickers to do what he does best: block. I completely agree with Cribbs though. Put him in the backfield already. We already know he runs with authority.

Riffer X Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Still don't understand how Harrison isn't a feature back. 2000 yards in a season tells me he can be a feature back, then watching him play confirms it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't have the power. Hit him, watch him fall. The Browns OL beat the Cincy DL mostly during the game, games that are more neutral are the games that make feature backs. He simply isn't that guy. Do you see the Browns running all over the Steelers or Ravens with this motley crue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you see the Browns running all over the Steelers or Ravens with this motley crue? I call total bullshit. Lewis is guaranteed to do virtually nothing against Pitt or Balt. There will be no holes and he'll simply disappear into the middle of the line tippy toeing away. Not a rocket science. Harrison gives the ability to turn nothing into something by making cuts and using speed. Also, this is turned into perceived fact that Harrison can't run hard on the inside. Do you guys watch the games? Harrison moved the pile a few times, and being there with club seats I could really tell the difference. He stays low, chops his powerful legs and hits holes before they close. I never cease to be amazed by folks assuming shorter backs can't kick ass in the NFL because it has been done for fooking years. Shall we start listing them? Let's start with a guy by the name of Greg Pruitt. Now whether he can stay healthy all year is another thing entirely, but we won't find out until he gets a chance. Spell him with Jennings, they like him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffer X Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I may be a 'tard for asking this but, is Jerome related to James Harrison? I googled both players but I didn't find anything about them being related Anybody else see the similarities? No, they are not related. James Harrison is a Roid Monkey born on the Planet Pittspuke. At least he is not living in the Akron area anymore, we have much less trafficking in juice now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ATENEARS Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Let's all hold-tight on crowning Harrison. His biggest task right now is staying healthy and recovering to play every seven days. it's been awhile since he's taken a real beating in a football game, I hope Jmal Lewis comes back by next week to spell him some then get the Bye week a week so later and pace himself through the season. Long way to go. We don't need 4-6 games out of him, we need 10-14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with splitting carries, he just should get the bulk of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ATENEARS Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Yeah we'd hate to evaluate a guy too soon. Come on Stan. I didn't question the guys skill, he freaking stepped-up when he got his opportunity. I'm cautioning his ability to take an NFL beating for 13 straight games as the featured back. I hope he gets spelled some by a productive Lewis in a few weeks, so he's fresh and learns to finish a season strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he can (has) shake the rust of sitting for RAC for 3 years and be the guy for a couple of years. He's a good back and could definitely be spelled by Davis/Lewis (when healthy) and even Vickers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clbrowns Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Harrison sucks he may have rushed for over 100 yards.But he Struggled big time.J Lewis isn't much better.Bottom line we need Cribbs at HB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadWombat Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Harrison our starter? He. Effin. Better. Be. I've always wanted to see more of this guy play. I have been waiting for years. Now that he has I am pumped. He played great. Harrison is only 5-9 and around 200 pounds. Everyone who wants to talk against him always brings that up. But I didnt see either of those things matter against the Bengals. Bring on more Harrison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing fer certain, we're never going to to see if Harrison can take an NFL pounding week in and week out until we give the kid a chance. Give this Lewis thing a rest. He's over the hill. Should be the Browns equivalent to Jerome Bettis at this stage of his career. Ka-ching!!! Yet another Internet bet collected on. You want to get in on the action betting against me that Lewis won't come close to sniffing 1,000 yards this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
