DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Pure Football Forum Hardest working player on the Cleveland Browns is....

Hank Fraley.

If anyone taped the game, you have to watch this guy. This man is all over the stadium, and i mean EVERYWHERE! He was opening holes, blocking down field, and showing extreme passion. I love the way he plays the game, and I think we really need to resign him.

BTW, Hank also looks like he is having fun playing here too...And I think we should all love him playing for us.

Danielle is going to appreciate this thread <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

He has been a rock solid part of the offense and glad he is here. Hope the powers that be give him what he deserves..........a 3 yr contract with options for more years. Think about how much improved our line will be when we get Bentley back healthy and playing.....move Bentley back to guard and keep Hank the Tank at center.

Did anyone hear the announcers talking about him after the 4th and 1 play at the end of the first half? They talked about him being a character (or maybe they said he has character, but they were kinda laughing). They talked about him have a good butt (CF had use Hank's butt like it was a third had to gain control of the snap on that 4th and 1). They talked about Hank snowplowing forward so that CF could get the 1st. Then they mentioned his snow plowing business in NJ.

Very nice to hear them talk about the guys in the trenches since they usually don't get mentioned unless they've held or are Orlando Pace or Johnathan Ogden etc.....And especially to hear them talk about OUR guys in the trenches. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

That one play by Rueb, It looked like fraley was rolling on the ground to disrupt the pursuit. Trying to make a block from the ground. That is a football player right there. he may be the best thing to come out of this season.

Just to play devils advocate, I'll say Kamerion Wimbley is our hardest working player. <img src="/images/graemlins/naughtydevil.gif" alt="" /> The guy just never stops or gives up on a play. But Frank is 1A. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

lol, they were crackin me up with the comments on that 4th & 1

I did actually consider him, but Fraley man...this guy just leaves it all out on the field. But hey, i'll take them both.

Hey you have to love a guy with a big butt <img src="/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif" alt="" />

I sure don't hate me <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

What about a gal with a big butt??? <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/rofl.gif" alt="" />

OH YAAAAAAA BABY <img src="/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif" alt="" />

*busts out singing*

Itty bitty waist with a big thing in my face

i just read this to hank and it seriously made his night

Great pick-up, especially since we may lose LCB 07 too.

Tell him he made ours. Living in Pitt, I'm supposed to be going Thursday - tell him to win so I can go into work the next morning with my head held high!!! Great job, way to not give up and play some ball. Last week I was embarassed to be a fan, I though the "Butch Davis meltdown" was about to happen - they proved me wrong and I'm very proud to be a fan.

tell him he made mine and my 4 yr old son's day <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Ya know I've been on his side since day one Danielle. Damn glad he's on our side. I have been telling everyone not to be surprised if we get to keep him on our team cuz in my book he's EARNED a spot on this team for a long time. (jmo)

I thought Fraley easily had his best game as a Brown. He had some nice blocks up the middle and really made his presence felt. Granted, the Chiefs play a bunch of nobodies at DT, but still Fraley made a bunch of 2nd level blocks.

I've admittedly been on the fence about Hank, but this game solidified for me that he is definitely a starting calibre lineman in this league and that we need to re-sign him.

j/c

im not in the weightroom or anything but a few players come to mind from what little i/we know on the outside. id say charlie frye, kw2, wimbley, fraley

I noticed how he was everywhere today, too. He made some really key blocks and really did a nice job. I really do hope we keep him around for a while.

Danielle, make sure you tell him I said great game! Now, go do it to Casey Hampton and the Squeelers!

Ya the whole O-line Deserves a steak and lobster dinner.


FOR SURE

They looked good today. I was impressed, very much so. <img src="/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

We should resign him no matter what happens with Bentley. He's definitely one of the bright spots this season.

Bingo! We need to sign him ASAP. With Bently not being around for a while we need him. Plus if Bentley does come back, one of them can play guard. Our line gets upgraded dramatically.

i hope he gets resigned..

maby he could play guard or bently could play gaurd...

agreed 100% he is more then a brightspot I think if Bently was healthy... He would be starting for either of our guards...

It's funny this thread popped up because during the game I kept seeing Hank running into the second level and he was the only lineman finishing plays and helping everyone get up.That is a true team guy and I'd love to see him resigned.

I was PMing Danielle when my power went out (stupid athens) about this very topic.

I'm glad he's on our team and I hope some of our younger guys follows his team first attitude.

You all are really nice to compliment him on the game.

He's hurting right now, a little beat up so when I was reading the posts to him it really brought a smile to his face. I knew he was playing his heart out when he had the oxygen mask on........ahaha.

Anyone see him try and catch the pass that DA had batted down, I was cracking up. Anyway, its nice to be noticed for something positive. <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Danielle66,

Forgive me for asking, but how do you know Hank?

I'm his wife

Nice. Tell him we are glad he is wearing Brown and Orange. My wife and Brother in law are big Eagles fans. Also, a lot of people I work with also root for the Eagles and when we finally signed Hank they were not happy.

NO KIDDING? Wow...I guess i'm glad I made this post now. <img src="/images/graemlins/rofl.gif" alt="" /> Well, in anycase, tell your husband that he is the most fun Brown to watch...oh, and he needs to come back next year too <img src="/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif" alt="" />

You can tell him he made my whole weekend.

Today he looked like the Fraley I watched for years in Phila. This was a great game to watch. Its nice being able to say positive things about the team, hopefully we can have another of these threads next Thursday.

Yes I did. He almost had that too.

tickets for all his fans? <img src="/images/graemlins/naughtydevil.gif" alt="" />

sorry I couldn't refuse <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

If you want to make his night, give him a big kiss, and tell him it's from GM <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

make sure you slip him the tounge for him too... i"m sure that will make GM's day <img src="/images/graemlins/rofl.gif" alt="" />

I'll agree with this. I've been more than happy with his play, especially given the circumstances we got him in.

Him at center and Bentley at guard should be penciled in assuming Bentley gets healthy and Hank is re-signed. I'd be upset if we let him walk.

Also gotta give a shout out to Heiden. In a year where Winslow emerged, the guy just keeps bringing his lunchpale every week.
