Cleveland Browns Lewis Still Creating A Buzz

About 20 hours after his last carry, thoughts of Jamal Lewis were still running through the heads of the Cleveland media members who cover the Browns.

Head coach Romeo Crennel was asked a number of questions in his Monday press conference about Lewis and the crunching Browns running game following the 27-17 triumph over the Houston Texans the previous day at Cleveland Browns Stadium.

In what statistically was his second-best performance of the year, Lewis rushed a season-high 29 times for 134 yards and a touchdown, including 91 yards in the second half, as the Browns controlled the clock -- a 35:23 to 24:37 advantage in time of possession -- and the game.

It was the key to the win as the Browns pounded the Texans in several different ways.

"It's good because it hurts the opponent both physically and mentally," Crennel said when asked for the importance of a team being able to run the ball down an opponent's throat, as the Browns did to the Texans. "But probably the mental aspect of not being able to stop the run, that wears on a defense. As soon as you start ganging up on the run, then you're able to throw the ball down the field if you need to. That wears on a defense, and I can speak to that because it's been wearing on us all year."
