Nuno, acquired in the deal that sent Brandon McCarthy to the New York Yankees, gave up three hits, struck out a career-high seven and walked one in seven innings.BAREA, Ohio - The Browns running game was one of the teams biggest strengths early in the season. Now, its become a crutch in the wake of Pro Bowl centre Alex Macks season-ending leg injury.Its expected, offensive co-ordinator Kyle Shanahan said of the teams recent trouble on the ground. I knew this was going to happen. Ive never gone through an NFL season where you just do it every single week. You know eventually someones going to take (the run game) away.It has been taken away considerably in the past two weeks, as the Browns gained just 108 combined rushing yards against the Jaguars and Raiders, which have two of the weaker run defences in the NFL.But Shanahan isnt pinning anything on just the restructured offensive line, which now includes centre Nick McDonald, who hadnt played in a game since 2012 before Sunday. The problem affects the entire offence.It takes eleven guys to run the ball, Shanahan said. Every single position had at least one play (wrong against the Raiders). I think a lot of it was tough sledding but when we did have our opportunities, we were one guy off and I think that can get fixed.Running back Ben Tate has also seen defences key in on the Browns rushing attack recently, forcing the passing game to step up. And as that element has struggled, so too has the ground game.I think (opposing defences) definitely have an emphasis on not letting us run the ball. I could tell they were really focused on that, especially Oakland, Tate said. If youre not throwing the ball well, then those guys are going to stay up in the box. We started throwing the ball pretty well at the end (against the Raiders). At the end of the game, it loosened up a little bit.Shanahan sees opponents game planning so heavily against the run as a good thing. The Browns just have to take advantage of it.I think we earned (that) as an offence because we showed people we could run the ball. he said. Thats what we want. We want people to feel like they have to commit to stop something.But another pressing issue is the running back rotation itself. Cedric Henderson Jersey. . While having three solid runners may be a problem most teams would want, Cleveland is still working to find a rotation that suits them best. Particularly one that includes undrafted rookie Isaiah Crowell.In the Browns 24-6 loss to the Jaguars, Crowell had just seven touches for 18 yards. And in Sundays 23-13 win over the Raiders, Crowell was completely absent, with just one carry for one yard.Prior to those two games, Crowell had 11 carries in three of four games and averaged over five yards per rush in that span while seemingly establishing himself as one of the teams more dynamic runners. But issues handling the ball — including a lost fumble — in the Browns 31-10 victory over Pittsburgh played into coach Mike Pettines decision to keep Crowell on the sidelines against Oakland.In hindsight, we did want to get him more touches but just the way the game fell, especially at the end, we went with Ben (Tate) to finish the game out, Pettine said. More from his history of protecting the football, we felt better about it.The Browns do want to get Crowell more touches. It just looks as though Clevelands plan will remain fluid on a week-to-week and even in-game basis.We only can play one back at a time, Shanahan said. Every single play in the NFL is crucial. You dont get a ton of plays, you never know whats going to happen. I wish we could give all of them carries but were not going to. Thats not really possible.NOTES: TE Jordan Cameron (concussion) did not practice Thursday. . The Browns signed WR Phil Bates to the practice squad, releasing DB Marcus Cromartie. . Defensive co-ordinator Jim ONeil spoke on Thursday about the dog collars hanging up in the defensive players lockers. We wanted to develop a unique way to keep reinforcing Play Like a Brown, he said. Guys would be rewarded for plays on the field with a bone (tag on the collar) for every time they did something that we considered a Play Like a Brown play. Its gotten competitive. ' ' '
