R.I.P Erich. I remember when you played for my beloved Browns. My prayers and condolences to your family.

This will get moved to the Tailgate forum, but I remember Erich. He was an excellent player and had a certain grace about him. Of course, I was a kid, but he came across as being very classy. The number of All-Pro selections speak to just how damn good he was on the field.

Vers It's actually posted in the right forum.

RIP Erich, I swear my kids getting older, my age, almost anything has little effect on how old I feel, but when athletes I watched as a kid pass away, then it gets to me.

I remember Erich in my younger days, he was a very good DB, RIP Prayers for his family ...

Erich was a good one.

RIP Erich.

RIP Erich

From The Good Ol' Days. Classy individual to watch, very smooth on the field. Prayers for you and for your family. Thanks for the memories. RIP, Erich.
