Webster Slaughter day's till kick off
84, 86 and 88 were a great trio. In our 12 win season in 1986 - #86 (Brian Brennan) actually led the team with 55 receptions almost exclusively on 3rd downs. I'd LOVE to have a guy like that in this offense today.
Man, I forgot you were doing the countdown Syd. In getting caught up here - nice job with it all!

Ok, now it's Ozzie Newsome....please skip Harry "stone hands" Holt #81 lol (although he did catch a bomb in OT vs the Chargers for a GW TD).

Bob, do you remember the Serial Drive Killer named Greg Little?
A few years later we had a TE named Dimetrius that one previous regular in here (Riffer/Earthdice) renamed as Incompletrius. Every time the ball touched his hands it was heading to the ground un accompanied. Fortunately or unfortunately, I can't remember his last name.

Not a bad choice at all Syd! He made his 1st of 4 Pro Bowls in 1964; which was also the same year the Browns won their last Championship. It's nice for people to see Cleveland had another great player before Ozzie that wore #82.
As a fan of Browns history, I often wonder how much better the Browns would have been if Paul Brown hadn't felt the need to trade away future Hall of Fame Defensive Linemen, like Willie Davis and Henry Jordan (Green Bay) and Doug Atkins (Chicago).
The Browns defense in the 1960s was serviceable, but nothing like the 1950s defense that helped them to six straight NFL Championships.

Not to sound like an ultimate homer but my guess is they would have won 2 or 3 more Championships.
What a freakin run they had winning all 4 Championships in their 1st Pro Football League. Then they showed up to the NFL and made it to 6 consecutive Championships and won 3 of them inclusive of the very 1st one. That was Otto Graham's entire 10 year career. All Championships and he won 7 of them. About 14 years later, Joe Namath won 1 Super Bowl Championship for the NY Jets and you'd think he was the guy that had the career Otto had.
Here's a cut and paste of Namath's NFL career stats:
Joe Namath ; Passing attempts: 3,762. Passing completions: 1,886. Completion percentage: 50.1%. TD–INT: 173–220. Passing yards: 27,663. Passer rating: 65.5 .
Here's a paste of Graham's Pro Football stats (that include the 4 years in the 1st league that perk up the stats some) :Otto Graham ; Passing attempts: 2,626. Passing completions: 1,464. Completion percentage: 55.8%. TD–INT: 174–135. Passing yards: 23,584. Passer rating: 86.6. -
