BEREA, Ohio -- Hue Jackson was asked on Wednesday if there's anything holding Nick Chubb back from getting more carries. "No, just have to give him more carries," Jackson said. "There is nothing holding him back. We just have to stick him out there." Nick Chubb: 3 snaps, 2 TDs, 105 yards vs. Raiders That's music to Browns fans ears because they saw the rookie running back, picked No. 35 overall last April, carry the ball three times on Sunday in Oakland for 105 yards and two touchdowns. He was on the field for only those three plays and has played just 15 offensive snaps this year, carrying the ball ten times. "We need to do a better job of making sure that he has a series or two each half and go from there," Jackson said. Chubb broke two long touchdowns runs against the Raiders, the first a 63-yard score with 12:35 left in the first half that put the Browns ahead, 9-7. The second long run was a 41-yarder that put the Browns ahead, 42-34, with 4:20 left in regulation. Chubb hit … [Read more...] about Hue Jackson on Nick Chubb: ‘Just have to give him more carries’

Cleveland Browns Halftime Scribbles: Baker Mayield good first half, Nick Chubb sizzles — Terry Pluto
OAKLAND -- Scribbles in my halftime Browns notebook as they play the Raiders in Oakland. Browns had a 17-14 lead. 1. There is almost no discussion about the Raiders moving to Las Vegas. There are no signs -- at least that I see -- in the stands. 2. Baker Mayfield made a poor throw to Antonio Callaway in the first quarter. The ball was a little behind him. Oakland's Marcus Glichrist cut in front of Callaway, who seemed to slip. The ball was deflected, and run back for a 36-yard TD by Oakland defensive back Gareon Conley. 3. On Mayfield's next possession, he fired a short laser for a 9-yard gain to Jarvis Landry. He plays with terrific confidence. On a fourth-and-6, Mayfield scrambled for first down. He ran out bounds to avoid contact. Smart play. 4. The officials had a silly sequence in the first quarter throwing flags on three plays in a row. None were serious violations. Mayfield was barely touched and they called "roughing the passer." 5. Mayfield did lead the Browns down the … [Read more...] about Cleveland Browns Halftime Scribbles: Baker Mayield good first half, Nick Chubb sizzles — Terry Pluto
Will Browns RBs Duke Johnson, Carlos Hyde and Nick Chubb get enough touches? (video)
CLEVELAND, Ohio a Gone is Isaiah Crowell and in his place are two powerful backs in former Buckeye Carlos Hyde and Nick Chubb, their second-round pick out of Georgia. In addition to those two, the Browns signed Duke Johnson to a three-year extension worth $15.6 million, making him one of the highest paid backs in the league beginning next year. In the video above, we discuss the three-headed monster and whether or not the Browns will have enough touches to go around. One thing is for certain: the touches don't all have to be carries. Johnson led the Browns in 2017 in receptions (74) and receiving yards (693) while totaling seven touchdowns. His receptions and yards were a franchise best for a running back in a season. Will they all get fed? Hear our take in this video. … [Read more...] about Will Browns RBs Duke Johnson, Carlos Hyde and Nick Chubb get enough touches? (video)
