Browns’ success in ‘08 contingent on running game

 Cleveland Browns
While there may be doubts about a young and shallow secondary and the best way to proceed with quarterback depth, the success of the Cleveland Browns in 2008 will ultimately hinge on running back Jamal Lewis and his backups. An improved defensive line that's bolstered by the additions of Shaun Rogers and Corey Williams should make things easier...

This article really hit the nail on the head. This Browns team I believe is really set up for success in the upcoming 2008 season. We all know what the passing game can do with their very solid OL. The pass defense was suspect at times but with an improvment on the DL they will be able to take out the extra guy in the box and put him into pass coverage. It really comes down to the running game. Behind Jamal Lewis there backs are very thin. Although Jamal Lewis is more than capable to carry the load I think they should sign Cedric Benson as a backup. This team is in serious contention and I believe will win the AFC North and suprise some people in the playoffs.

The could sign Cedric Benson, but unless his workout showed something they didn't like, I think Kevin Jones has better tools to come in and be a starting running back.

Cedric Benson is definitley the better out of those two. And if he can go there and stay out of trouble maybe with Lewis getting up in years he can take over the starting job when Lewis retires.
