  • Bottom line: until and unless you get somebody better than Cribbs to man those ST positions, then you stick with him.

    Travis Benjamin is by no means proven. He had one good PR.

    And he certainly is not going to be the torpedo that Cribbs is on coverage.

    I mean, Cribbs has been a combination of Eric Metcalf and Steve Tasker...or Bill Bates if you remember him.

    Do what you can to IMPROVE the team....not detract from it. If Cribbs is a liability..if there is someone more competent to do his job, go for it. Until we have that someone, stick with him.

    That's for bringing that other aspect of Cribb's game up- his value isn't just as a return guy- he's probably the best kickoff coverage gunner in the NFL. Period. I've said it before- it's all going to depend on how many $$$ are going to keep Josh happy. I'm all for re-signing him- but not for crazy money.

    OTOH, Give Dawson anything he wants- heck, we've already been paying him franchise player money the last two years, he can't hardly ask for much more.

  • TB is our only deep threat WR?

  • I think that out of the coordinators we've had in Cleveland, Horton seems the most likely to use Cribbs in a defensive roll. Little guys that can hit. Send Cribbs on a blitz or have him drop deep and play catch out there. He's really good at locating the ball in the air and catching those kickoffs right on the back line... Just seems so obvious to me, I don't understand, what is there to lose?

    OK, Gordon had an outstanding ypc. What I worry about is turning Benjamin into a KR, he doesn't have the frame to absorb kill shots.

    Definetly. I am NOT for Benjamin being the replacement of Cribbs. Ghoolie likes to say how Cribbs is "one shot" away from a vegetable. He has been out returner for how long? Benjamin would be a vegetable after ONE good shot. Benjamin has place as a WR, not as a ST returner. Cribbs has his place, as one of the best STers in the game.

  • Cribbs STILL hasn't signed with another team! Keeping the HOPE ALIVE that he RETURNS HOME to CLEVELAND!

    Cribbs still has tons left in the tank and I'd love to see him get to 10 returns in his career, as a Brown.

    Make it happen Lombardi, pleeease.

  • He's not coming back....get over it slapdick...

    Sure thing you all seeing, all knowing, future telling hemorriod.

  • Slap dick, Lol.

    I think if Colt McCoy himself stumbled across this site he would tell Po G to just Stop.

  • Did I just post a colt McCoy comment in the josh cribbs thread? See ... I told you to disregard me the rest of the day ...

    Good Lord, if the Browns had wanted Josh back it would have happened already. When you don't even make the player an offer, it's Adios.

    i hope he comes back just so slap dick doesn't have to put his cat to sleep because he named the stupid thing after Cribbs.

    However...Cribbs is done in Cleveland.

    You really should highlight and save that post referring to his grandma and his cat and the subsequent reply. I cannot remember laughing that hard at a post before on this board. I don't like cats but...... LOL.

    Maybe we need a spot for classic posts and their replies. Good reading for after a Browns loss.

    Good plan...only one problem with it. The Browns aren't going to lose this year. πŸ™‚

    And without Colt McCoy....don't forget him. Not sure how the Browns or the city of Cleveland will make it through the year without St. Colt on the roster.

    Richardson had better run for 1,500 yards, and score 12 touchdowns while were at it. πŸ™‚

    I'm sure you're selling Trent short. Be prepared to be amazed at the production he puts up when healthy. McCoy, Richardson, Gordon, Little, Cameron = Playoffs this season boys! I can't wait!

    ...I would have loved to add Cribbs to this list as he deserves it but it appears that he's headed to AZ... πŸ™
