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! Edited June 18 by Flugel 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happiness 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjp28 Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 And at #77 there was ONLY one with 120 games, John Greco was second at 28. Richard Philip Schafrath (March 21, 1937 – August 15, 2021) was an American offensive lineman for the Cleveland Browns, former Ohio State Senator, and author. During his tenure as an athlete, he won a national football championship with the 1957 Ohio State University Buckeyes and the 1964 NFL Championship with the Cleveland Browns. Because of his strong work ethic and occasional stubborn determination friends and teammates nicknamed him "The Mule". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 AND, The next one is a "can't miss" at # 76. LOU GROZA. ... or honorable # 76 Marion Motley. Plus the #76 is also retired. And what a lovely picture ! Louis Roy Groza (January 25, 1924 – November 29, 2000), nicknamed "the Toe", was an American professional football offensive tackle and placekicker while playing his entire career for the Cleveland Browns in the All-America Football Conference (AAFC) and National Football League (NFL). Groza was professional football's career kicking and points leader when he retired after the 1967 season. He played in 21 seasons for the Browns, helping the team to win eight league championships in that span. Groza's accuracy and strength as a kicker influenced the development of place-kicking as a specialty; he could kick field goals from beyond 50 yards (46 m) at a time when attempts from that distance were a rarity. He set numerous records for distance and number of field goals kicked during his career. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
