Duke Johnson is averaging twice as many yards per carry as Isaiah Crowell, and he's rushed for two touchdowns to Crowell's none. So why isn't he getting a shot as the Browns' featured back?,>womens Vontae Davis Jersey,

"Like I said the other day, I still believe in Isaiah Crowell,'' coach Hue Jackson said Friday. "Crow is a rhythm runner. He needs to have the ball more. Duke is a jack-of-all-trades. He does a little bit of it all. He catches it,Authentic Andrew Luck Jersey runs with it and does a little bit of it all. We have two fine runners."

Johnson,Authentic T.Y. Hilton Jersey, who's 'on a mission' this season in the words of running game coordinator Kirby Wilson, said Jackson would be the one to switch that up "but we like what we're doing. We're not satisfied with the results but we like our plan."

Johnson has carried the ball only 10 timeswomens Blake Bortles Jersey, gaining 57 yards with a long of 19 and two TDs. Crowell, on the other hand, is averaging only 2.9 yards on his 46 attempts (134 yards) with a long gain of 17 and no TDs.

Last week, Crowell had just seven carries for 20 yards in a 31-7 loss to the Bengals,womens Alex Smith Jersey, and stormed out of the locker room without even taking a shower.

"I think we all were mad and wanted to storm out of the locker room Sunday so I won't hold that against anyone,'' said Wilson. "He just has to continue to believe that 'if I just do my job,Authentic Jalen Ramsey Jersey,, it's a long season and the success will come.'''

Wilson acknowledged that with Crowell,'Authentic Tyreek Hill Jersey, "the efficiency has been sporadic. The long gainers have not been there and the explosive runs have been missing so far.

"What a runner needs to do is just run hard - every time they have the football,womens T.Y. Hilton Jersey run hard and finish violently. Those things will happen for you. You have to create at times your own yards, because every play is not going to be blocked perfectly.''

Despite the Browns' slow starts, which includes a punt on every opening drive this season, who is tied for 20th in the NFL with 20 receptions for 207 yards. Johnson has largely replaced Andrew Hawkins in the slot and has been used in multiple ways as a receiver, there are no immediate plans to replace Crowell with Johnson, including out of the backfield and split wide.

"Duke has a specific role and we go into every gameplan every week trying to get him his touches,'' said Wilson. "He does a great job with his touches. He plays anywhere from 40-55 percent of the game. Would I like for him to get more? Absolutely,womens Andrew Luck Jersey,'but everyone can't get 15 carries."

As long as the ball is in hands,Authentic Vontae Davis Jersey,Johnson doesn't care how it got there.

"If there's an eight- and nine-man box and there's nowhere to run' that's not being very effective,'' he said. "Regardless of how I get the ball,'Authentic Alex Smith Jersey,it's about making plays."

In the offseason, Johnson took Jackson up on an offer to the team.,Authentic Blake Bortles Jersey,

"(He said) if there's somebody that feels like they can make plays or needs the ball, don't be afraid to come up and talk to him and that's something that I did with him and Kirby, what it is you have me doing,womens Tyreek Hill Jersey, ' said Johnson. "I just explained to them that I'm up for the challenge regardless of where it is on the field, I'll learn and I'll study and I'll affect it to the best of my ability.''

He knew that once he raised his hand, he had to deliver.womens Jalen Ramsey Jersey,

"You can't ask for it and then when it's time to do it you fold and you don't do what you say you're going to do,''Authentic Allen Robinson Jersey, he said.

As a result, he's become one of the team's few bright spots, womens Allen Robinson Jersey,spinning, scrapping and stiff-arming his way to more yards.
