Last week, Browns running back Jamal Lewis rips his teammates for quitting against the Denver Broncos last Thursday night. Some of those teammates agree with Lewis."When you have a team like that that comes into our house and we're capable of beating them, that's the first thing that comes to mind,'' wide receiver Josh Cribbs said Monday. "We can't figure out what man, but that's what it looked like -- some guys quit. ... We know if everybody didn't quit, we would have won that ballgame.''Cleveland became just the fifth NFL team to ever lose back-to-back games in which they held at least a 13-point lead in the second half. Two weeks ago, they gave up 24 unanswered points to the Baltimore Ravens. Last Thursday, the Browns gave up three TD passes in the fourth quarter in their 34-30 loss to Denver.
"[Lewis'] input is very valuable to this team,'' Browns linebacker and team captain Andra Davis said. "So if he says something like that, then guys really need to check their egos."
It is obvious that this has gotten away from head coach Romeo Crennel. There is nothing worse for a coach than to have your players quitting on you.

Forget that! It is Quinn time! Brady Quinn played very well in his starting debut, completing 23 of 35 for 239 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. Quinn mainly threw short, but that was wise. The Browns did not ask their second-year starter to do too much. BTW, saw some cool widgets at statbeast.com. Take a look!

A quitting attitude comes from the Head coach. He doesn't instill the killer instinct in the players. He is a "prevent defense" kind of guy as opposed to a Bill Cower " "fight to the end" coach
