Crennel doesn't give up on defending team

Tracy Boulian, The Plain DealerJamal Lewis' stinging comments continue to resonate on the Browns and with coach Romeo Crennel.
To an embattled football coach surrounded by fires breaking out on a weekly basis, the worst thing to hear is his team quit.
Thus, Browns coach Romeo Crennel went on the offensive Wednesday to douse the perception spreading like wildfire as a result of comments made by running back Jamal Lewis and receiver / returner Josh Cribbs.
"It seems like the word 'quit' has taken a life of its own and grown a little bit bigger, and now the Browns are quitters and the coach has lost control of the team and there's division in the locker room, and that's not the case," Crennel said.

"These guys are going to play and play together. Whether we play good enough remains to be seen. We haven't been playing good enough, but we've been in the games. You don't quit if you have the ball at the end of the game with a chance to win.
"If you get beat, 63-3, then I think you can say your guys quit. [Last] Thursday night [against Denver], guys did not quit. Thursday night, guys didn't play as smart as they needed to play in critical situations, I agree there. But that can be said about other games in the course of the year, which we've been in most of them."
Lewis made his stinging comments following the 34-30 loss to Denver, in which the Browns blew a 23-13 lead in the fourth quarter. Besides saying he felt some players quit with the lead, Lewis said, "Some people need to check their egos at the door and find some heart to come out here and play hard."
Crennel said it was the latter point "that impacted me the most." He didn't disagree with that comment.
On Monday, Cribbs agreed with Lewis and chimed in that the team should weed out those who quit.
