    Could be Tanne simply benefited from the change of certainty as happens with players from time to time or better personnel around him or he was finally ready or all three plus a shot of confidence instilled by Vrabel. Have to remember he was chosen over Mariota. Even if Marcus wasn't "the guy" for TN, Tanne was far from a sure-thing upgrade.

    Also does not hurt to have a big, fast 250 back who physically punishes people and runs through one or two tacklers as if they are bothersome fleas. That sets up the PA passing and bootlegs for run'pass QB options like nobody's business. Every team knows you must gear first to stop the big man or he will kill your defense, especially in the 2nd half when arm tackles are totally useless, but far less harmful than getting mauled head-on. I suspect that part of Otto's success was having that exact same luxury with Jim Brown (except for the QB runs that is).

    And FYI.....Otto Graham NEVER played with Jim Brown.  Otto retired in 1955.  Jim Brown was not drafted until 1957.    DOH!!

    Ah, thanks for the info. I was out of the country during Jim Brown's heyday. But I did see him in The Dirty Dozen.?

    Since Lorde got the best rock song award with 'Royals' you can expect anything... 

    Did she really? 

    That's funnier than Jethro Tull beating out Metallica for best Heavy Metal album back in the day.

    He wasn't really that good in the Dirty Dozen or 100 Rifles or any movie he was in.

    He was great as a Cleveland Brown winning the running title 8 of his 9 seasons...... better than running and dropping grenades.
