The unquestioned player of the game was running back Jordan Howard. He ran over the Browns defense throughout the second half, wearing them out by the 4th quarter. His mix of size, power, aggression and deceptive speed were all on display. He did this despite being the third running back to get on the field after Ka'Deem Carey and Jacquizz Rodgers.
There is still plenty of work for him to do. Finer details like blocking, footwork and securing the football remain things to iron out. That being said this performance virtually guaranteed his roster spot and offered the latest indication that he's going to see significant snaps on offense this season. It's just a matter of when and where.
Lasike may have done just enough to warrant the Bears keeping a FB and if that's the case I expect them to keep just 3 rbs and Quizz will more than likely end up the odd man out. Perry still has PS eligibility so provided he clears waivers he could be stored there for an emergency or they may find another RB after the cuts are made tomorrow.

Howard is an animal. He is a heavy-load for sure. He looks good catching the ball too. Last night he put on a clinic. I think he may be our best RB, or soon will be. The guy is special.

Yep, once I saw his college game vids I really liked this kid. He's a bigger back like Forte but with a whole lot more power. He and Carey should make for a nice contrast with Langford.
