"As Cleveland's featured running back, Jamal Lewis will certainly have some adjustments to make when the Browns start yet another quarterback this Sunday.

Yet he has something bigger - much bigger - to worry about when the Browns (4-8) visit LP Field to take on the Titans (11-1).

"Albert Haynesworth," Lewis said Wednesday during a conference call with Nashville media.

The 6-foot-6, 320-pound Haynesworth and his fellow Titans defensive linemen haven't been kind to Lewis over the years, keeping him under 100 yards in each of the last seven meetings, all when he still played for the Ravens. In the last three meetings he's averaged just 2.2 yards per carry.

Lewis, who was Haynesworth's teammate for one season at the University of Tennessee, said the big defensive tackle is doing what he does best - disrupting offenses.

"He has to be accounted for," Lewis said. "Ever since I saw him step foot on campus at the University of Tennessee I knew he was an animal."

Lewis is fifth on the NFL's all-time career rushing list among active players. He is just 102 yards shy of the 10,000 mark for his career, so he'd love to break the 100-yard barrier this week. If he's going to accomplish that he needs to take advantage of what figure to be little holes between big men.

"You don't have many chances to make a decision on where to go, you just have to be decisive and hit the hole when you see it," said Lewis, who has averaged 66.1 rushing yards per game this season. "And that's it. It's not going to be big cracks, there'll be small ones, but you have to just hit it.""
