Not to be rude, but Browns coach Romeo Crennel wouldn’t mind seeing Cleveland in all its winter splendor by the time the Houston Texans get to town.

Texans at Browns: Game Preview I
Houston dropped their third straight game last week as they lost a tough game to the Indianapolis Colts, 33-27. Cleveland defeated the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football, 29-27.

Green is the 2 in the 1-2 Punch
While Steve Slaton tried to carry on as if he could easily manage a 16-game season, coach Gary Kubiak could see his rookie running back struggling. Green is there when Slaton needs a break.

Bright Spot in a Dark Season
The Texans have been one of the biggest disappointments in the NFL as there were playoff expectations for the team, both internally and externally, and they’ve delivered thus far with just three victories in their first 10 contests. If there has been one thing that’s gone right this year for the Texans it’s been the play of rookie running back Steve Slaton.

While Steve Slaton tried to carry on as if he could easily manage a 16-game season, coach Gary Kubiak could see his rookie running back struggling.

Instead of having Slaton run until his legs could no longer churn out the yards, Kubiak took a risk for the team and rested him against Baltimore two weeks ago. He gave the rookie only four carries and told him to take a break.

Without their starting running back—and any sort of running game, the Texans suffered their most lopsided loss of the season to the Ravens. But a week later, Slaton showed his appreciation by rattling off 156 rushing yards against Indianapolis. It was the best day of his NFL career and the best outing in the league by a running back over the weekend.

The Texans hope the rejuvenation can…

Slaton shines for Texans (AP)
Texans rookie running back Steve Slaton has no problems dealing with menacing NFL defensemen. He faces a much more trying foe at home: his soon to be 2-year-old son Julian. “A cranky 2-year-old is more difficult than a defense because defenses you only deal with on Sunday. The son you deal with 24/7,” Slaton said with a smile.

Travel weary Texans aiming to stop road skid (AP)
Not to be rude, but Browns coach Romeo Crennel wouldn’t mind seeing Cleveland in all its winter splendor by the time the Houston Texans get to town. Those knock-you-off-your-feet wind gusts off Lake Erie, the sideways sleet, the bone-chilling Arctic temperatures, and of course, the lake effect snow — inches upon glorious inches of it.
