Defense wants to burn films

Jamal Lewis' record-setting game was depressing.
BEREA (AP) -- The lights darkened, and suddenly Jamal Lewis was breaking tackles, flattening linebackers and slamming through safeties with ease.
Lewis ran all over the Cleveland Browns again.
One day after allowing Lewis to set an NFL rushing record with 295 yards, the Browns had to endure watching the tape of the Baltimore back's stunning performance.
Seeing it on the big screen Monday was so painful, Kenard Lang swore he would never do it again.
"It's over," the defensive end said. "That was one of those games where you get the tape, you burn it and you don't look at it anymore."
Too bad, but that's impossible since there's historical documentation of Lewis' rampage, which he predicted last week in a phone call to Browns linebacker Andra Davis.
"I'm going to be on NFL films for the rest of my life," Lang said with a sigh.
Completely outplayed
Forgetting their trip to Baltimore is a No. 1 priority for the Browns (0-2), who were outplayed in every facet of a 33-13 loss on Sunday.
Despite coach Butch Davis' positive spin during his weekly news conference, little went right for the Browns.
Cleveland's offense, which was supposed to be one of the AFC's most dangerous units, managed just 175 yards and has scored one touchdown in two games.
Quarterback Kelly Holcomb looked horrible. He was indecisive and forced several passes into double and triple coverage, finishing 17-for-37 for 115 yards with two interceptions.
The Browns' special teams were anything but special. Normally automatic punter Chris Gardocki shanked a 10-yarder, and kicker Phil Dawson sliced a kickoff out of bounds.
And although the defense prepared for the Ravens to give Lewis the ball 30 times, the Browns still couldn't stop him.
"All we can do now is put it behind us," safety Earl Little said. "It's in the history books."
Record breaking effort
And, in the record book, as Lewis' day was the best rushing performance in more than 80 years of the NFL.
Still, Davis attempted to put a happy face on things. He said Lang (two sacks) and defensive tackle Gerard Warren "may have had their best games since I've been here," and that linebacker Davis "was outstanding."
Butch Davis then pointed out the Browns did a good job of stopping Lewis most of the time.
"We obviously did not play the run well," he said. "And the sad thing about it is that on 25 of the runs, they averaged 2.4 yards per carry. But you can't have five carries that make 200 or so yards."
Davis blamed the Browns' inability to pick up yardage on first down as the primary reason for Cleveland's offensive ineptitude. He's surprised the unit hasn't played better, but Davis said Holcomb isn't at fault.
"He knows exactly what do," said Davis, who picked Holcomb as his starter over Tim Couch. "He's making the right reads. He's certainly been a victim of situations in the ball game. It's never easy battling from behind. It's tough when you get behind 16-3 and you're fighting uphill."
Davis scoffed when asked if the loss was the low point of his three-year tenure in Cleveland.
"No, God, no," he said. "You can't imagine how low previous times were. A lot lower."
No quarterback change
Davis also bristled when asked if a change at quarterback might be warranted.
"Nope," he said.
Offensive tackle Ryan Tucker said it's time to dig deep. There's plenty of blame on both sides of the ball, he said, and now isn't the time for anyone to be pointing fingers.
"We're all in this together," he said. "We're going to sink or swim together."
