If you could have 5 Browns players from the past
-
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?
-
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
Phil Dawson would certainly be nice to have.
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 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)

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

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
4 Jim Brown No Comment necessary
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.

For This Game Only:
Eric Turner
Don Rogers
Clay Matthews
Joe Thomas
Joe "Turkey" Jones
I love the choice of Don Rogers. I got the impression that he would have been a great free safety, a rare ballhawk which the Browns could really use.
-
David Mays - Not just because he's one of the only undefeated QBs we've had against Pittsburgh. But, I kind of like the mystery of how Jack Lambert lost his 2 front teeth as well as why Lambert never wanted to get anywhere near him.
Ozzie Newsome - If Baker his this guy all year - it would have changed everything for him. Just ask Sipe or Kosar...
Eric Turner - Man, do I miss this type of Safety here!
Clay Matthews - Great job all of you that remembered his invaluable flexibility to play any of 4 LBer positions in the 34 and any of the 3 positions in the 43. He and Ozzie were both drafted by Cleveland in the first round of 1978; making it more than a coincidence that the Browns frequented the playoffs in the 80s more than any other decade after the 60s.
Kevin Mack - Folks, is there anything better than watching a Steeler LBer (like Greg Lloyd) leading with his helmet and ending with a smelling salts wake-up after getting freight trained? Mack could play FB or Tailback when he came out of Clemson with 4.5 speed (which was great for a guy his size back then). He could also block and catch. If memory serves me right he was a Rookie of the Year after he joined the Browns from the USFL.

I grew up in the 80s and 90s loved Mack And Byner but I can’t believe some of you would pass on Jim Brown for either of these two.
Fellas we are talking about Jim Brown here.
