The Cleveland Browns appeared to be lost on the field at times on Sunday and Kareem Hunt seems to think that has to do with a lack of effort from some

There are two very talented running backs on the Cleveland Browns as they have both this season’s leading rusher Nick Chubb and 2017 rushing champion Kareem Hunt.

Both those running backs give their all and have done their share in trying to help this team win. The same cannot be said about the rest of the team and Hunt apparently has no problem saying as much.

According to P.J. Ziegler of Fox 8, Hunt says some of the guys on the team took plays off and didn’t give it all they had.

In the same press conference, Hunt did say that Chubb was out there giving it all he had, which was easy to see. Fans have noticed that all year and have been practically begging the coaching staff to give him the ball more than they have been.

As for the rest of the team, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly who was giving up. Both Odell Beckham, Jr. and Jarvis Landry have been out there throwing blocks, with OBJ leveling a defender this week.

They’re clearly trying to stay engaged in the game and Landry was even seen yelling at head coach Freddie Kitchens on the sideline. While that’s not an ideal look, it did show that he’s still out there fighting with all he has.

There was definitely a problem on defense as the Cardinals, who came in at 3-9-1, had no problem moving the ball up and down the field. They met very little resistance, evidenced by the uncontested touchdown backup tight end Dan Arnold was able to pull in.

Whatever your opinion on Hunt calling out is his teammates is, no one can deny there’s a problem in Cleveland.

Mayfield's regression is real. dark. Next

Freddie Kitchens has lost his team and has just two more weeks to prove he can turn it around. If not, he could be one and done with the Browns.
