    Eddie Johnson - Don Rogers - Mike Baab - Eric Turner - Josh Cribbs - Karlos Dansby

    Josh is an interesting inclusion...

    Others to consider for O...

    - Motley has to be in there... outbruised JB's bruising style.

    - Need a TE and Milt Morin fills the bill.

    - For OG might forgo DeLamielleure due to short tenure, but might argue Wooten over Hickerson.

    - For C would argue DeLeone over Baab

    - If there's room for a QB... Bill Nelsen.

    On the D side...

    - DTs love Sherk and Johnson, but have to consider Bob Gain and our Perry brother... Michael Dean.

    - DEs without Bill Glass or Paul Wiggin?

    - OLBs without Clay Sr.?

    - ILB has to consider Bam Bam.

    Josh was a warrior on a shitty team.

    He covered kicks like Bademosi while setting NFL records for kick returns.

    Took monster hits and dished them out.

    I really respect Josh.

    Josh was about the only bright spot on the team besides having Phil Dawson.

  • Maybe a little off topic, but I really wish we would sign Josh Cribbs to a one day contract so he could retire as a Brown.

    He should be the poster child for the statement, "Play like a Brown".

    Not bad. What is it about the 60s/70s.....it seems that all the great MLBs came from that era. The Browns could sure use a Butkus/Lanier/Nitschke/Lambert/Mike Curtis/Tommy Nobis type now.

    There have been a few great ones: Singletary, Lewis, Urlacher. But not nearly as many the last 40 years as there were in 10-15 years back then.

    Is it that defenses are different? The 3-4 being more prevalent discounts the great MLB aura?

  • Only had to watch Carolina last nite to appreciate the contribution of great ILB play. Kuechly sure, but Davis as well.

    Both play big delivering devastating hits, yet shockingly weigh the same as our starters.
