Browns Romp with Mack attack by Gerald Eskenazy new York times they talk about Kevin Mack on the Cleveland Browns As if he were a return ing hero and not a fullback who missed much of the season because he was in prison on a drug charge. It is a tribute to Mack s popularity As Well As a simple fact of National football league life if you win All is forgiven. Mack s powerful running style could be the Browns antidote to the Broncos Active Clever linebackers when the teams meet in the american conference title game sunday at Denver. Kevin s a Happy go Lucky kid not anything like you d think said the Browns 58-year-old Rookie head coach. Bud Carson. Mack has apparently transcended the stigma of a 30-Day jail sentence and has come Back from a four game suspension and a knee injury to help propel the Browns dramatically. As a condition of his parole. Mack in t permitted to talk about his drug rehabilitation and a team spokesman said the player would not consent to an interview. But the Browns running backs coach George Sefcik said he s a darn Good football player. We d like to put theother stuff in the past. Kevin is on a Mission. When he came Back with us he was pointed toward  Sefcik said he has had Many discussions with Mack. They re kind of personal and i d rather not talk about  the coach. Sefcik paints a picture though of serious responsible ballplayer. He s quiet a note taker in meetings. His work habits have enabled us to let him step right Back in so quickly. I think that if we have it on our game plan on sunday he could carry the Ball 25  Mack s performance against the Bills in the divisional playoff game last saturday Tore out the heart of Buffalo s defense. He gained 62 Yards on just 12 carries an average of 5.2 Yards an attempt running Between the tackles where yardage usually comes in Small doses. For Good measure he also caught two passes for 19 Yards. Who knows what kind of year it might have been for Mack for the first time in his career and for the first time within Browns memory there is a speedy shift halfback to pose an outside running threat Eric Metcalf. A Rookie from Texas. Before Eric came Kevin got stereo typed in our system Sefcik said. There was a time we had the rap that the Browns could t run outside and so everything got squeezed Down toward the  Mack was the one squeezed. As a Rookie in 1985, he combined with Earnest byner to form the third 1,000-Yard Rushing tandem in league history. Mack averaged 5 Yards a carry. But Heddin t even reach 4 Yards a carry the next three seasons As defences played him tougher and byner was not Able to Gener ate the Speed logo outside. Still. Mack has led the team in Rushing every year he has been with the Brown except for this season. Mack has played Only five games this year. In his return against the bengals his Only run went for a 3-Yard loss. In his last two games the season end ing Victory Over Houston that brought the Browns the Central division title and the decision Over the Bills he produced the same number of carries and Yards 12 for 62. The 27-year-old is fresh his 6-foot,235-Pound Frame Una altered this season. It was not for the reasons he or the Browns wanted. He was ready to come to training Camp but on june 28 he was arrested in a car on a notorious Cleveland Street Corner. The police said he had 11 packets of cocaine with him. Eventually he was suspended for the first four games of the regular season. On oct. 3.

He served 30 Days at a reformatory for first time offenders under the age of 30and was Given a two year probation. After his inauspicious return against Cincinnati Mack carried six times for 16 Yards against the Colts As the Browns lost m overtime. Kevin Mack landed in reformatory. Then landed in end zone but then he was handed the Ball 18limes in the Victory against the Tough Minnesota Vikings and responded with55 Yards 42 of them during overtime.
