If you could have 5 Browns players from the past
-
To add to this years roster, who would they be? It can be from any era and the player would be in the prime of his career. My players would be
1. Joe Thomas
2 Ozzie Newsome
3 Phil Dawson
4 Eric Turner
5 Michael Dean Perry
I could have easily said Brian Sipe or Otto Graham, or Jim Brown. But I am giving some credit to Baker since he has shown some improvement, and Chubb and Hunt are the real deal. I thought obviously we could use Thomas to protect Baker's blind side, Phil Dawson because good kickers seem to be taken for granted, MDP because you can never have too many quality defensive linemen, Eric Turner because he was a badass, and Ozzie to give Baker a reliable target.
Let me know what you think.

1 Joe Thomas Major Need and Talent
2 Clay Matthews Major Need and talent
3 Gene Hickerson Major Need and Talent
4 Jim Brown No Comment necessary
5 Ozzie Newsome Ultimate Red Zone security blanket for Baker

Phil Dawson would certainly be nice to have. Siebert seems totally confused by the winds of the second half of the season.
I think I'd like DE Len Ford to help us out about now.
Ozzie, Joe Thomas, Gene Hickerson
BEING A BROWNS FAN IS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE -
Gene Hickerson IS a name that came to mind.....as an HOF OG, a position we could really need on this team.
I also agree with Clay Matthews for his solid steady play at OLB.
Either Josh Cribbs or Eric Metcalf.......we need a kick returner.
Erich Barnes......a nasty MoFo at DB.....
Mike McCormack .....he made the HOF as a Browns OT......a Right Tackle, playing on the other side of LT Lou Groza. (not that we also could not also use Groza at LT)

Many of the names on this list were in my thought process.
1. Joe Thomas
2. Steve Everitt - a lockdown center next to an All Pro Guard solidifies a quality OL. Mike Baab was a formidable center as well but he didn't wear a Browns bandana as a Raven.
3. Clay Matthews
4. Hanford Dixon/Frank Minnifield - either, it doesn't matter, but a CB that puts the fear of God in a QB.
5. Eric Metcalf/Josh Cribbs - either, it doesn't matter, good teams score Special Teams TDs.

Thomas, Newsome, Cribbs, Perry, and l would add Vickers in here as we could a formidable full back.

With both Chubb and Hunt, would we have to drop someone to make way for a full back?

Like I said, it's often taken for granted to have a guy that's pretty much automatic to put points on the board let alone a guy the consistently did it on the shores of Lake Erie. People should not underestimate a man that won us many games and kept us in games during some of the worst times in Cleveland Browns history.

add to roster by Sunday
1) LT Joe Thomas-- Never saw a better LT including A.Munoz
2) RG Gene Hickerson-- (Joe Delamielleure/Eric Steinbach, we've had some good ones)
3) LB Clay Matthews with Schobert would be classic
4) S Eric Turner E-Rock, a Kam Chancellor/Jack Tatum of Cleveland
5) RT Mike McCormack (Cody Risien/Doug Dieken)

use Milt Morin at fullback !

Gene Hickerson at 248 lbs would get creamed playing today. He couldn't even start for OSU.

Comment necessary. We have Chubb and Hunt.
If I had to choose a back I'd take Kevin Mack or Earnest Byner before JB.
-
Joe Thomas and Phil Dawson for sure.
Thought about Ozzie, but way too small at 232lbs. The smallest TE playing today is the Titans Delaine Walker at 248.
Clay Matthews and Eric Turner if I had to choose defense, otherwise the vast majority of the greats who played back in the day would be of no help to the 2019 Cleveland Browns.
