admin Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 How about a 'New era' All-star team (beginning in 1999)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samoth Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 New Era: QB Derek Anderson RB Jamal Lewis, Lee Suggs WR Braylon Edwards, Kevin Johnson, Antonio Bryant, Andre Davis TE Kellen Winslow, Steve Heiden OL Joe Thomas, Eric Steinbach, LeCharles Bentley (he counts), Ryan Tucker, Ryan Tucker (he can play two spots right?) DL Shaun Rogers...really he's the only one who deserves mention LB Jamir Miller, Andra Davis, Kam Wimbley, Dqwell Jackson (all debatable except Miller) DB Anthony Henry, Eric Wright, Brandon McDonald, Sean Jones, Brodney Pool.

Don't forget Speilman if we are going to include LeCharles Bentley! Also Cribbs, J.J., Also don't forget Leigh Bodden, and Brian Russell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumcrazy73 Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Old Browns don't forget Lou "The Toe" Groza. And Matt Bahr. The Pruitts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roach Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Defense: Walter Johnson, Michael Dean Perry, Jerry Sherk, Bill Glass (i know, three inside guys. Put in Paul Wiggin and take someone off if you don't like that). Clay Matthews, Chip Banks, Jim Houston Frank Minnifield, Hanford Dixon (Minnifield was the best CB that i've ever seen play for any team) Don Rogers, Eric Turner. Special Teams: Metcalf, Cribbs, Walter (The Flea) Roberts, Groza, Leroy Kelly, Gardocki, Pruitt, Pontbriand, and Dawson (who i hated in his early days). Sorry for the long list.

Canton Mike Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Roach....Are you & I the same age, or do we just THINK alike? Jerry Sherk & Clay Mathews were not "flashy", but just GREAT blue collar players. Sherk's peers around the league considered him the top D-tackle in the league. John Madden absolutely LOVED Mathews!...I consider the Linebacker position to demand supurb athleticism & conditioning & Clay Mathews remained at or near the top of his position for a LOT of years!...WHY is he not in the Hall of Fame? I agree with the others too, but let's not forget Gary Collins, Dave Logan, & Brian Brennan.....you'll search far & wide to find 3 better "possession" receivers who were also "money" players. These guys came through when the heat was on. (Logan was drafted into THREE Pro sports...Football, Basketball, & Baseball. I'm just glad he chose the Browns...I loved watching him play.) Sorry for the rant, but let's face it, the Browns have had some real GREATS! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the others too, but let's not forget Gary Collins, Dave Logan, & Brian Brennan..... Probably not. i'm pretty old. It was killing me not to put Collins on the list. He was a helluva reciever and punter. When Collins went back to punt, he never went into the huddle. Bobby Franlin just snapped him the ball when he was ready. When Collins had a rare drop on 3rd down, he would sometimes just take off and run for a 1st down. The team never knew when he was going to run. He was a tough football player- just like Cribbs is today. Put Gary Collins on the list too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roach Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Oops. i just reread this. Bobby Franklin did not snap, he was Groza's holder. i don't remember who the long snapper was in the mid 60's. Did John Morrow long snap? Help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
