Loading ...Art Modell spanked his hand against the table – the former Baltimore Ravens/Cleveland Browns owner had heard enough. Sitting at a lunch table several years ago during training camp with a few sports writers, Modell – and others – took offense to my comments that a 1950’s or 60’s Jim Brown would be no more than a special teams player today.
“I could take Jim Brown, play him today and he’d make the Pro Bowl,” Modell said. “I mean Jim Brown now [in 2002], not from his day.”
While Modell, a wonderful and nice man, stood up for his former player, I still disagree. Brown ran over 200 pound linebackers on his way to glory. His offensive linemen weren’t much bigger than Ray Lewis or LaRon Landry and the men tackling him even smaller. Taken straight from the black-and-white era, if possible, Brown couldn’t keep up with today’s game.
The same goes for most former Redskins. While many old-time fans remember Sammy Baugh or think Bobby Mitchell could help the 2009 incarnation of the Redskins – they’re wrong. Both were fantastic and great in their era, but without the training and testing against today’s players, either would be happy to get a tryout.
