About 'cleveland browns at baltimore ravens'-Browns vs. Ravens: Live Game Grades and Analysis for Cleveland
The old Cleveland Browns became the Baltimore Ravens in 1996. The Ravens first ever draft pick, offensive tackle Jonathan Ogden, will be enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2013. A great offensive lineman from the franchises Cleveland days, Dick Schafrath, should join him there some day. Like Ogden, Schafrath was a high draft pick by the Browns as he was taken with their second choice in 1959 out of Ohio State. The Browns were coached by Paul Brown at the time. Brown was famous for taking players from the school that he once coached. If there was a player with any talent at Ohio State, Brown knew who he was. Schafrath was a talented player and Brown wasted very little time in taking him. Schafrath arrived to join an offensive line that included a future hall of fame guard in Gene Hickerson of Mississippi. Together, the two of them were part of a unit that opened the holes for the man that many feel is the greatest running back to ever play the game in fullback Jim Brown. From 1959 to his retirement in 1965, Brown rushed for over 1,000 yards every season except one on his way to setting a since broken NFL record of 12,312 yards. Much of that yardage came behind Hickerson and Schafrath. Brown was not the only hall of fame runner that Schafrath blocked for. When he first got to Cleveland, the Browns had a halfback by the name of Bobby Mitchell who teamed with Brown to terrorize defenses. Mitchell was traded to the Washington Redskins in 1962. When Brown retired after the 1965 season, Leroy Kelly took over and Schafrath helped him to become a 1,000 yard rusher as well. From 1959 to his retirement in 1971, Schafrath's blocking helped the Browns to become a perennial championship contender. In 1964, they won the NFL championship by defeating the Baltimore Colts 27-0. The next season, Cleveland returned to the championship game where they lost to the Green Bay Packers 23-12. The 1964 championship is the last that any professional sports team has won in Cleveland. That season would also see Schafrath make the Pro Bowl squad for the first of six consecutive years. Schafrath was a complete offensive lineman as he played both guard and tackle. He was good at straight ahead blocking or pulling to lead a ball carrier on a sweep. Schafrath played left tackle and was the man who protected the quarterback's blind side. He did this while protecting Frank Ryan during the championship season and Bill Nelson in the playoff seasons from 1967 to 1969. Schafrath's job was made tougher when Nelson was the quarterback in that the signal caller played on two bad knees. When Schafrath retired, he had done everything that an offensive lineman can do and at a high level. He had won a championship, been named to the Pro Bowl multiple times and helped three different hall of fame running backs achieve greatness. Not too many offensive linemen can say that. In looking back over his career Dick Schafrath can be very proud of his accomplishments. They are worthy enough to make a case for him being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. |
