Browns offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan said the team is looking for one running back to "separate himself," according to ESPN.
Shanahan stressed that he's been happy with the play of Ben Tate, Isaiah Crowell and Terrance West, but added that he would love it if one of them stepped up. "We got a bunch of solid guys who do a good job," Shanahan said. "For one of those to get the bulk of the carries and take off, then that’s up to them. They got to show us they’re ahead of the other guys."
Shanahan has had a history of riding one primary back in the past. "I’ve never had to rotate a bunch of running backs, because usually I’ve had a running back who’s usually able to separate himself from the others," he said.
Tate is currently receiving the bulk of the carries for the club, but the team has mixed in Crowell and West frequently.
