Jim Brown: On Jamal Lewis

"The [expletive] will run over you," Jim Brown said with a chuckle after the first practice at Browns minicamp on Tuesday. "Got good speed. Knocks people down. He's what you call a horse." Indeed, Lewis was the workhorse of the Baltimore Ravens for six seasons. He rushed for 7,801 yards and 45 touchdowns, won an NFL rushing cham pionship and a Super Bowl ring.
Here, the question is whether he has enough gas in his tank to lead Baltimore's division rival out of the wilderness. No player on the Browns is being counted on more heavily in the coming season than Lewis. There is no Plan B if Lewis blows a tire over the long 2007 season.
"I don't wonder if he has the gas. I'm counting on it," new offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski said in an interview last month.
Lewis does not bristle at questions about his durability or speed. He is eager to prove the doubters wrong on the field.
"That doesn't fuel me," he said. "I know what I have to do. I know what I'm capable of. I'm still young [he'll be 28 on Aug. 26]. I still have a lot of energy.
"Over the years, you have backs like Warrick Dunn and Curtis Martin . . . a lot of guys over 30, 32, that had over 1,000-yard seasons. I think organizations, when they do have a back pushing 30, they kind of weigh them down and just shorten the carries. I have a lot in the tank. I'm still young and ready to roll."

Are we gonna see a rejuveinated Lewis?
