He could have just admitted that instead of going all PMS on us.

Or, maybe, since we were talking about  Ravenna, Kent Roosevelt and Norton,  he is from like either  Coventry, Springfield, Ellet, Tallmadge, or Stow....the other teams in that league at the time that I think the first 3 schools beat up on.   At least Norton did, as we went  9-2 and 8-3 in my  junior and senior years in HS  (and I know we lost to non-conf. foes Wadsworth and Copley for some of those losses, so we cleaned up pretty well in the Metro League those years.  Though I know we had one loss in there to Springfield, and I think another to KR sometime).   The Campana/White/Boykin/Nottingham times were all like my freshman/soph years.

Well....certainly  you are a fucking turd....and a dickhead, I guess that means we are equal in our knowledge of the game. 

And no one commanded that you had to participate in a discussion that I was having with Dutch and a few others about Glory Days.  Smacks of envy.

Yes, go there.  This is the OLine thread.  Kendall Lamm however has played some WR for us a couple of weeks or so ago...

Yes.   As you may know, both KR and  Ravenna were in the same conference as Norton where I went.   I had a bit of an older friend who played either DL or LB  for Norton at the time Nottingham played for Ravenna...and also  when Larry Csonka played for Stow.   He said that Csonka was a cream puff compared to Nottingham to try to tackle. 

my wife just told me all the browns wr's are out for the jets game due to covid....i don't have an iphone....is she looking at the right info....higgins...landry...jones....wtf...we are done if so.............jets will clobber the browns due to covid....what a strange season it has been....someone let me know what the fuck is going on..please..

Why the hell did you reply to what I wrote with this? 

Are you on drugs?

Nice little article...

Here's to fat-assses everywhere.

Browns O-line doesn't seek praise but has full appreciation of those closest to it

The big men up front have been the foundation for the Browns’ dominance in both the run game and passing attack

Stan Boykin, OSU may not have played in NFL, but did ....and there have been many Boykins that went there...in fact  I see 7 Boykins that played in the NFL.  At least half of them may have gone to Kent Roosevelt.     

The story I heard about the Boykins - and there always seemed to be a Boykin every year playing football at Roosevelt for generations - was that the family actually started out in Ravenna, but someone from the city of Kent "reached out" to some family members with "city jobs" and the family moved over to Kent. I think the Boykins are related to the Sanders family in Ravenna, which produced most likely the best Ravenna player since Nottingham - Marcus Sanders. He had 81 touchdowns in his high school career and rushed for 7,002 yards from '96-99.

but getting back to the offensive line.....

When Harris went in for Hubbard, I didn't expect him to play terrific. I figured things would go wrong.

I was wrong. He's very, very smart - and can PLAY:

Now that our Oline is set for the next couple years it is great to hit on a 3rd day of the draft  depth piece that we can develop the next couple years and maybe groom to take over in 2022.  I hope we can do it again in 2021.

I think some really underestimated how very excellent Bill Callahan is as an OL coach. We should not have been surprised that Harris was very prepared to just step right in when the need was there. There is a reason our OL as a whole has become one of the very best in the NFL.

There was Tom Campana  who went to OSU...but did not quite make in in the NFL...but did play in the CFL...but I think his Dad played like 4 years for the Bears.  Stan White....OSU/Colts  . Stan Boykin, OSU may not have played in NFL, but did ....and there have been many Boykins that went there...in fact  I see 7 Boykins that played in the NFL.  At least half of them may have gone to Kent Roosevelt.      Tom DeLeone was on that team.  OSU/Browns.   

Mike Adamle was just a year ahead of that Quartet.

Campana, I think that was him. Blazing fast. The Boykins were a succession of terrific hs players.

I had some dealings with some other members of Larry Csonka's family.  Perhaps a nephew/cousin.  Let's put it this way:   they were basically scumbags,  thieves, that thought because the uncle/cousin  had been an NFL player that it gave them carte blanche to screw people over. 

I didn't know that - but Nancy was a sweetheart - in hs. Larry was some years ahead of me, he was well liked.

• Cleveland Browns (1947–1951, 1954)

• 3× AAFC Champion (1947, 1948, 1949)
• 2× NFL Champion (1950, 1954)
• 2× Pro Bowl selection (1950, 1951)
• First-team All-Pro (1951)

The powerful Ravens were led by big, rugged senior running back Don Nottingham and coached by Nunzio “Foot” Polichene, who was in his first year after taking over from legendary Ravenna mentor Harry Gilcrest. Nottingham would go on to star at Kent State University and play in the NFL with the Baltimore Colts and Miami Dolphins, winning the Super Bowl with Miami in the 1973 season......

An astounding five players from that 1966 Kent Roosevelt team went on to become NFL draft picks, including all three running backs in senior Mike Adamle and juniors Jerry Brown and Tom Campana Jr.

Adamle starred at Northwestern University and played in the NFL with the Kansas City Chiefs, New York Jets and Chicago Bears. Brown also played at Northwestern and was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers before going on to a distinguished coaching career which continues to this day (Brown currently serves as the assistant head coach at Northwestern). Campana Jr., meanwhile, was a standout for Woody Hayes at Ohio State and was drafted by the NFL’s St. Louis Cardinals before embarking on a successful career with the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League.

The 1966 Rough Riders also featured junior center Tom DeLeone and junior linebacker Stan White, both of whom later starred at Ohio State with the younger Campana. Both DeLeone and White went on to outstanding NFL careers, DeLeone as a center for the Cleveland Browns and White as a linebacker with the Colts and Detroit Lions.

Note:  I believe that  Mike Adamle's Dad, Tony,  was the Browns official team physician for many years.

the roosevelt and ravenna teams back then - I remember one of them had some super star guy who could return kicks, wr? and

nobody could ever catch him. Everybody knew his name back then. I don't remember it now. lol
