Trying to find a mention in the PD of Sultan McCullough’s rushing performance last night is a bit too difficult. Only one mention of him anywhere in the articles. THE MAN RUSHED FOR 103 YARDS!!! In a little over one half of play! Why isn’t this a story? And why does Ruben Droughns get top of the page coverage in the Browns Insider column? Yeah, he had a good game, but McCullough ran for 43 more yards. Droughns’ avg per carry was 6.6, McCullough’s 5.4, so not that big a difference. They both broke big gainers, so you can’t argue that one back had more carries outside the average than the other. I’d keep the kid.
Looks like the Browns agree with you, Tim, after signing McCullough to the practice squad.
They also traded Melvin Fowler to the Vikings for OT Nat Dorsey, a 2004 fourth-round pick. Not a bad pick-up — Dorsey was a decent prospect coming out of Georgia Tech and it never hurts to have depth at the tackle positions.
