  The may have been one of the league's Rickey Henderson Jersey biggest disappointments in 2019, but their running game didn't factor into that equation. In fact, it was quite the opposite.Cleveland finished fourth in yards per carry (4.8) -- and made up one of the most efficient backfield rotations in the NFL. Chubb finished second in the NFL with 1,494 yards, averaging 5.0 yards per carry and eight touchdowns. He finished third in the league with 298 carries, sixth in first downs (62) and seventh in yards per carry. Hunt had 179 rushing yards and two touchdowns (4.2 yards per carry) while adding another dimension to the Browns pa sing attack with 37 catches for 285 yards and a touchdown in eight games.Needle s to say, new head coach Kevin Stefanski is excited to have the opportunity to coach both Chubb and Hunt in 2020."Nick Chubb, man, wow the tape is so impre sive. I can't wait to meet Nick Chubb the person because everyone is raving about him," Stefanski said on ESPN 850 Thursday, . "(Hunt) is such a talented player. He's from Ohio, so Mike Fiers Jersey I know I'm going to get a chance to visit with him at some point. "If we've got two good ones, we'll figure it out. That's no problem for us. That's a good problem if it's a problem at all. It's our job to make sure we've got all these good players, let's use them. Let's use them in the right way."The Browns averaged 116.6 rushing yards per game with Hunt and Chubb in the backfield, but they could be even better in 2020 with Stefanski's offense. In his one season as the offensive coordinator, the Vikings finished sixth with 133.3 rush yards per game. They finished sixth with 19 rushing touchdowns and fourth in attempts.How does that bode for Chubb and Hunt Sean Manaea Jersey ? The Browns finished just 22nd in rush attempts (393) despite ending 12th in yards (1,901) and 15th in touchdowns (15). Stefanski, who called offensive plays for the Vikings, ran the ball 49.07% percent of the time, third in the NFL behind Baltimore Blake Treinen Jersey and San Francisco. Those numbers will certainly go up in Cleveland, especially with Chubb and Hunt in the backfield. Chubb has already proven he can handle the workload of a full season while Hunt will get a full offseason and training camp with the Browns after serving a multi-week suspension in 2019. Hunt led the NFL in rushing yards two seasons ago and will get his fair share of carries to keep Chubb fresh for the second half of the year. The Browns will also be more run dependent in the red zone with Chubb's power and Hunt's speed.Not only will the Browns commit to the run, but Stefanski got a career season out of thanks to the run-first philosophy. He's expecting the same will happen with , who struggled in year two."That's something you guys are going to hear me say a lot of," Stefanski said. "I think there's certain elements of the play-action world that are built off the run game that is ultimately a big part of what we're going to do, and that's very quarterback Brett Anderson Jersey friendly."
