Josh Cribbs?

Cribbs must of at least lost a step or he would still be playing. He was a heck of a kick coverage guy as well, of course with all the kicks going in the end zone, that is not nearly as important anymore.

He's lost more than a step- and that was two years ago.
Yeah no shit, 31 my god he'd have to roll out there in his walker. Lol
I have no idea whether Josh Cribbs can still play or not....but what on earth would it hurt to try him out? All of you fuckers that wouldn't even look at him are gutless little shit stains that kid balled his ass off for us. He deserved the big city poster over that fake fucking d bag from Akron. If he ain't better than what we got, than he probably can't play in the NFL at all given what we got is horrible. Again I have really no opinion either way cause I would have to see him run and all that.
Let's bring back Bernie while we're at it to see if he's still "got it". There are guys on this team RIGHT NOW that are better than anything Cribbs could offer. I said it in another post- Benjamin and Gilbert could beat Josh by 15 yards in a 100 dash. I'd bet the ranch on it. Benjamin has his difficulties holding on to the ball- but I have no idea why Pettine is unwilling to try Gilbert as a kr- he was positively stellar in college. FWIW, that's why he was the first CB off the board- he posted the fastest 40 at the combine.
PS- regarding LeBum, he's seen the error of his ways. If he brings an NBA title to Cleveland, he'll get elected Mayor for life.

Cribbs looked completely done when he left here. And he never was the same after he had his clocked completely cleaned by the Ravens. Then, after he left here, he couldnt hang on with the Jets or the Raiders. Hmmmm
People keep saying "bring him in and see what he can do". Even though we ALREADY had him in and ALREADY saw he was done.
Cutting young talent to bring back old players doesn't make sense for a growing team. It's only a 53 man roster.
So my question is ..... "who do we cut to add an old one dimensional special teamer?" and who do we cut to add a Vickers?

You don't make improvements by bringing back a retread.

Correct. Cribbs has no ties to this staff. He is done. Done done.
You are thinking like children if you ever think he'll be a Brown again.
Leonard can at least catch punts. Benjamin showed last year he can return them. It's a coaching thing at this point ... they'll get it right. There are certainly enough punt returner types on the roster.

Which, I restate, is why I see Cribbs as an assistant special teams coach.
He can work with, say, Benjamin, one-on-one. And, teach Poyer to not
field punts at the 4 yard line.
Cribbs has taken too much of a pounding over the years to play at anything like the level
he used to play with. But he still has the heart, and young special team players
could learn a lot from him.

Wouldn't be averse to that. So often, good players don't make good coaches, but you won't know until you try.

Absolutely a great idea. Kinda surprised someone hasn't tried this, maybe he's been approached and doesn't want to. Who Knows but I would think that since the dude was a college option QB and basically learned how to become a very good kick returner first and then punt returner, he would be able to teach others how to play the position.

You know, PG usually says some of the dumbest inane shit on this board, and sometimes I question if he isn't a little "special," but bringing Cribbs back at league minimum to return kicks isn't the worst idea in the world. I'm not saying PG is smart, this is just less stupid than usual.

I see you with your fingers crossed behind your back. 🥷

It is when he has about as much left in the tank as Leroy Kelly or Greg Pruitt. Maybe we could get Dino Hall back..he probably has as much left in the tank as Cribbs at this point.

Well if Smalls doesn't work out we obviously cut him. At this point I don't see bringing Vickers in as we'd be testing out our 3rd FB of the year. Just see where Kiero can go from here on out. If he's just absolutely terrible than fine, if Vickers is out there. If SMalls is so so why not bring Vickers into camp next year if Tate said he was the best option at FB for us this year?

Cribbs is a colt until they cut him

Cribbs may not be the dynamic returnman he once was because of age and injury. Still, if he can successfully field kick returns and take the ball out of the end zone when appropriate with some explosion, he figures to be an upgrade at the position. At the very least, he’ll spare the Colts for some of the “adventures” they’ve had in recent weeks in their kick return game. He’s also reportedly a very good special teams “gunner”, indicating that he may be an asset to the Colts’ special teams unit all-around.
UPDATE: According to ProFootballTalk, Josh Cribbs has indeed been signed by the Indianapolis Colts (12:00 PM)
