Josh Cribbs hired as ST Intern
-
I love Josh Cribbs.. He's become one of My all time faves...
Oh yes what a cool guy plus put up some serious numbers with the BROWNS and NFL.....
........"Undrafted as a wide receiver out of Kent State, the position was not his strongest suit. In 10 years, he caught only 110 passes for 1,175 yards. However, Cribbs is a legendary punt and kick returner. His 426 kick returns netted 11,113 yards and a league-record eight touchdowns, and his 222 punt returns resulted in another 2,375 yards and three more scores. Cleveland let him leave in free agency in 2013 and he bounced around to the Oakland Raiders, New York Jets and Indianapolis Colts before hanging up his cleats.
He couldn’t be kept from the game for long. Indeed, Cribbs’ passion is what carried him to this moment. “I have this burning desire to be around football, to get back in the game. This is the closest way I can be around football, to still make an impact in the NFL. What better team for me to make an impact than the Cleveland Browns?” .........
.........2009 season
On September 13, in the Browns' home opener versus the Minnesota Vikings, Cribbs returned a punt 67 yards for a touchdown, tying the team record for career returns for a touchdown (seven) with Eric Metcalf. Also, in that same game, Cribbs was named as a starting wide receiver for the first time in his NFL career. On October 18, Cribbs returned a Pittsburgh kickoff for a touchdown, breaking the team record for returns for a touchdown. In this game he became the first NFL player to throw an interception and record a kick-off return touchdown in the same game since 1950. On December 10, Cribbs led the Browns to victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, their first win over their rival in 13 games. Cribbs led all offensive players with 200 all-purpose yards, including 87 yards rushing out of the WildDawg formation. On December 20, Cribbs returned two kickoffs for touchdowns against the Kansas City Chiefs to set and extend the all-time NFL record for most kickoff returns for touchdowns in a career. On December 29, Cribbs was named to the 2010 Pro Bowl for the second time in his career as the Browns' and AFC's representative as the kick returner. Cribbs was also named the Browns' team MVP for the 2009 season......
Ah yes one cool player, especially against pizzburg I'll never forget that!

Phil Dawson doesn't strike me as the type to get into coaching.. I think he'd rather be somewhere fishing...

great news for the Browns, finally someone who is passionate about this team who can whip these young guys into shape. I am beginning to get that springtime "things are looking up this season" feeling, hope the Browns don't ruin it by October

Great post (other than the lingering worry at the close).
You stated it perfectly about Josh being passionate. He IS, and ALWAYS HAS BEEN a Brown!!!

Problem is this: Josh's greatest skill was in Kickoff returning....and the league has consciously tried to make the kickoff return a thing of the past. But hopefully....he can apply some of his knowledge and passion and apply it to punt returns and to Peppers...or whomever else will be back there returning punts.

I sincerely hope it will be this guy returning both.
Christian Kirk 38 punt returns with 6 for TDs in his college career. And a 100 yd ko return for a TD too. Very good slot player to boot. Go watch his combine gauntlet catching.

Only if they don't drink themselves under the table. BTW Von Miller has an ongoing friendship with JM and having once been into drugs himself, is mentoring him on staying clean/sober. He thinks that he will rise through the Spring NFL 2 game season, spend time proving it's real in the CFL and make an excellent return to the NFL in a couple of quality CFL years.
Kirk on the other hand is just like Garrett in maintaining a quality character all the way from childhood thru the interviews he shined in at the combine. Not a mark anywhere and if you watched the combine gauntlet drills, some of the best hands anywhere. Effortless. His idol is Larry Fitzgerald except he has better speed.
EDIT: I don't think we need him as much as we did before we picked up the slot guy we have been missing in Landry. But he does bring better return skills than Peppers.

Gonna have to move up into the 1st to get Kirk after that combine. Depends on who we have by the time we get that high and also who is left at RB that we can use one of our 2nds on.
