Of course, the Raider fans would argue that the best tandem ever was Mike Haynes and Lester Hayes.

Look right at minute 1:20, the news at the bottom is talking about Dan while he was talking, I just thought it was weird.

Parenthetically then, it stands to reason that there are younger people and non-Browns fans who do not know about Eric Turner.

Note that yes, E-Roc did die. (liver or kidney failure I believe). Here are his career stats;

He died of intestinal cancer at the age of 31, RIP.

I was referring to the "did he died" shit that little fags post. It's like putting a finger an inch from someones face saying, I'm not touching you.

Well, someone chastised me for thinking that the people on this board should be aware of who the Hall of Famers that played for the Browns are. It was said that "younger people and non-Browns fans wouldn't know those guys".

We're talking about some great cover guys here. Other than his great cover skills, things that stick out about Frank to me are (1) He seemed to never miss a tackle. His technique and reliability were at a different level. (2) He was a student of the game. He was like an on-field coach. If a Safety missed an assignment (Sisko), he was immediately with the guy on the way back to the huddle (not to show him up, just to make sure he knew his assignments). i always expected him to coach after his playing days, but apparently that hasn't happened.

I have to disagree. Although Minni and Dixon were phenominal and are my favs. I hate to say it because he got a lot of attention but D. Sanders was the best cover corner I have ever seen. Revis is getting there but you just couldn't throw to that said or he would make you pay. I don't like Dieon, but he was the best. With that said, if I were building a team I would still take Minni and Dixon over Sanders. More less because I'm a homer. Plus, they were more physical.

Riffer beat me to it. Frank Minnifield is the best corner that i've ever seen play the game (for any team).

If you start the did he die shit, I will personally come over and smash your face in your keyboard.

@the-gipper said:

Thats not the point, the OP said fans of other teams. Im sure fans of the Browns are aware of all of them but fans of other teams especially younger fans probably aren't as aware of some of them

nmills said:

I would hope that you could rest assured that the audience you have on The Browns Board would know who the Hall of Famers are that played for the Browns, and that their names would be familiar to all here. If not, they all need to bone up on the team whom they are commenting upon. I didn't see all those guys when I was growing up either...well, actually, I did see them all except Willis, Lavelli, and Graham.. You get my point.

@the-gipper said:

Not underrated but I would say if you ask somebody thats not a browns fan or was born after the 80's they probably wouldn't no who some of these guy are. I know I wouldn't if it wasn't for fellow Browns fans. Other than Jim Brown, Kosar, maybe Newsome since he's a GM you dont hear much about the other guys unless your a Browns fan. Not everybody was alive 50 years ago to watch all these guys so it would be wise to inform other teams fans of our historic past.
