Browns should focus on Duke Johnson for remainder of the season

“Feed the Crow” was a popular slogan to begin the 2016 NFL season. After all, Isaiah Crowell was among the NFL’s best running backs after a hot start. However, his inability to find and successfully attack holes has resulted in ineffective running as the season has progressed.
