The Browns story line that won't quit

by Bud Shaw Wednesday November 12, 2008, 6:41 PM


Chuck Crow, Plain Dealer File PhotographBrowns coach Romeo Crennel says he resents suggestions the Browns quit against the Broncos last week because it reflects negatively on him. Even without the criticism, there isn't much positive to take away from this season.
Tracy Boulian, The Plain DealerIt's easy to understand why the always-intense Josh Cribbs might think his teammates aren't putting up enough effort.
After further review, the Browns didn't quit.
They're just not any good.
Feel better?
Not surprisingly, head coach Romeo Crennel's contention is his team is still playing hard.
The whole discussion about what running back Jamal Lewis and returner / receiver Josh Cribbs said is semantics gone awry, but more on that later.
The Browns are 3-6 either way. But not giving up does beat the alternative.
Quit now and by the season finale against Pittsburgh, fully stocked getaway limos would be idling in the parking lot and players would be text-messaging friends and family between snaps.
Even if Crennel is correct, though, it's not all that comforting.
Quitting would at least explain the wide-open prairies of space in the Browns' secondary. It might also make you feel better about the way this team tackles. The flip side: If what we're seeing is maximum-tackling effort, whoa Nellie.
Here's what I think Lewis and Cribbs meant, and my read on Crennel's reaction to it.
Lewis: Certain players have never won anything in the NFL and still beat their chests like Tarzan. They don't know how to finish games. They're as immature dealing with leads as they are dealing with prime-time network validation.
