Cleveland Browns: Don’t freak out about run game yet

One of the biggest takeaways from the Cleveland Browns preseason opener was how bad the run game looked.

Over the course of the game, the Browns made 33 rushing attempts, but only put together 50 total rushing yards. None of the Browns three running backs accomplished much, although Carlos Hyde and Duke Johnson each only ran the ball once.

The Browns first-team offense was only on the field for eight snaps, so Hyde and Johnson are non-factors in this conversation.

But watching rookie Nick Chubb and the second-team offense try to run the ball was hard to watch.
