Should Cleveland Browns' Preseason Rushing Performance Be Cause for Concern?

One of the big expectations for the Cleveland Browns offense in 2015 was that it would see a renaissance in the run game. With the return of center Alex Mack from his 2014 leg fracture and the installation of a ball-control offense created by coordinator John DeFilippo, it seemed like running the ball early, often and well would have been a high priority.

Instead, it looks like the Browns' offensive plans are revolving more around the passing game than previously thought. This is more of a dink-and-dunk-style passing offense, one that relies on quarterback Josh McCown throwing screen passes and underneath throws into the flat, with the occasional deep pass thrown in.
