But we won by playing smashmouth football

"Speaking today, we don't expect major shortfalls, bear inmind that German storage facilities can supply up to a quarterof necessary supplies," said a spokesman. In a separate comment on developments sparked by theconflict, a spokesman for the Nord Stream pipeline project,which plans to bring gas from Russia to Germany from 2011 via asubsea link, said his company's efforts to supply higher volumesin the long run now seemed more than justified. "But in concrete terms it makes them neither easier nor moredifficult," he added. Commentators have highlighted the merits of theRussian/European joint venture, which is headquartered in Zug inSwitzerland. It aims at bypassing Ukraine, but has been slowedby opposition from EU member states around the Baltic Sea. "But unfortunately, the row also serves those seekingdiversification away from Russia as a fresh argument that gasoffers itself to being used for political purposes," he added.

(Reporting by Vera Eckert in Frankfurt and by MadelineChambers and Kerstin Gehmlich in Berlin) Stocks Russia. This team is confusing. Are we a running team Are we a passing team Does Tom Cable even know what kind of team he wantsThe Raider Nation has been clamoring all year for more Michael Bush We got it on Sunday, and it served us well. We were the power-running, hit-you-in-the-mouth defensive team we were supposed to be all season long.We won.

And I will not discount JaMarcus Russell's poise and leadership at the end of the game. The kid came in and, after an unspectacular start, got it done when it counted in the clutch Good for him. It was nice to see after all the crap heaped on him lately (by myself as much as anyone).But we won by playing smash-mouth football.With Charlie Frye dinged up and woozy and Bruce most likely not ready to play this weekend, Russell could very well see the field again.This should not change our strategy. We need to hand the ball to Michael Bush repeatedly to keep a recently-improved Browns defense off-balance.Furthermore, we need to counter with Darren McFadden on outside runs and speed plays to keep them off-balance.

Bring in Justin Fargas to slam into the defense and wear them down with his non-stop motor.Just don't regress back into a pass-happy attack. Not with our running game doing so well with our newly rebuilt line (Langston Walker made some great blocks at LG on Sunday) and our defense playing well (when they aren't on the field every three minutes).Russell looked sharper and more confident Sunday, but that by no means indicates that he's ready to come in on what will most likely be a very, very cold and windy day in Cleveland.Frye is the likely starter, which, as Cable showed on Sunday, probably means a heavy dose of the run. The points would've been great, but we ultimately didn't need them I liked the call, even though it didn't work out. If we had lost, I'd probably be singing a different tune (hey, all sports fans are fickle; I'm just willing to admit it).Now we need to put together back-to-back wins. This team is still searching for an identity, which is one of my biggest beefs with Cable's coaching philosophy (or lack thereof). Decide who you want to be, and play accordingly.When this team runs the ball and sticks with the run, we play much better as a team.
