Opal312 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 They'll probably sign Ben Tate too since Bradshaw broke his leg. Please explain why they waived him instead of getting something like when we absolutely burned the Colts for Richardson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browns1216 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 i'm pretty happy to see Cribbs back in the NFL and I can't wait to see if he does anything with the Colts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please explain why they waived him instead of getting something like when we absolutely burned the Colts for Richardson. Trade deadline passed, best for them to cut ties if he's a problem in the locker room and in practice. Also, I don't know if the colts will ever trade us for another RB again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manzier Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 He sure deserves the chance. I hope he does well. A great guy and one of my all time favorite players. But Ill admit Im one who's said he was done and was against signing him. So, for his sake I hope he does well, but not too well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opal312 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 So the Steelers cut Lagarrett Blount because he wanted the ball too. He was definitely a cancer. Think about him and Le'Veon Bell driving to Philly and being stopped for Pot. I wonder what took the Steelers so long to figure it out. As for Tate, he will be in the backfield and take over the number one role from Trent Richardson. Since Richardson sucks, Tate will take over and end up playing the Browns. How's that for Karma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieHardBrownsFan Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Stupid move. A once good player now injured and useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manzier Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 They definitely need a running back and Tate will be it. Thats assuming the 25 teams ahead of them take a pass. And I highly doubt that happens. Raiders, Vikings, Giants, Steelers(plus 20 other teams) are all well ahead of Indy. Someone will tab him first.

PlaygroundLegend Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Yikes.. we have to face Cribbs? That makes me nervous.. dude was never good because of his athletic ability.. He was god because he had great vision, ran hard, and broke tackles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoeticG Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 The Browns should have signed Cribbs to return and gun. He coming back to Cleveland would have Jolted the Fanbase to the magnitude of Lebron coming back. He's that special in Cleveland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Section537rules Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 So people can never come back from an injury?Your post is useless. Lets just keep on with our 2 yards a return and "fair catching.". i hope he runs one back on us.. I would cheer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USFBrown Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Cribbs is used up. Next. Little harsh for the guy who brought almost all excitement the browns had for since their return. The guy was a great player, role model, and seemed a genuine person. I wish the best for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy was a great player, role model, and seemed a genuine person. I wish the best for him. And he averaged 12 yards per punt return for the Jets last year, no fumbles, one fair catch. surely he is still better that what we have back there ... but I understand not getting rid of a young kid for him at this stage. Greatest special team player in the 58 year history of the Browns. Good luck to ya, Josh. Zombo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on G imagine him coming back eating up a roster spot and doing no better or even worse then the return guy we have now. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrb12711 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Who would you waive off the team to sign him is the question that hasn't been asked here. With the decimation of the defensive line and Gordon returning all the roster spot had to be focused on that. It's hard to justify with the injuries we've had to keep a roster spot for a guy who can only come out for special teams. I do hope the guy finds his way back once he retires officially though. He'll always get a free beer and could easily join sports radio shows about the Browns. I'll always respect how much he invested and cared about the city.

Zombo Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 *cough cough* Phil Dawson *cough* Nope. Dawson was among the best kickers in the league for several years, but Cribbs WAS the best special teams player in the league for years. 3× Pro Bowl (2007, 2009, 2012) 2× First-team All-Pro (2007, 2009) NFL Alumni Special Teams Player of the Year (2009) Cleveland Browns MVP (2009) Cleveland's Pro Athlete of the Year (2010) NFL's All-Time Kickoff Return Touchdown Leader (8) tied with Leon Washington) NFL 2000s All-Decade Team Dawson made one Pro Bowl. Cribbs is an All-time great when it comes to special teams play. Zombo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Difficult to stand out as a kicker where perfection is expected and anything less is cut-worthy, where returning punts and kicks, anything is a positive and it's possible to create huge momentum swings.

upper lip Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 No kicker will ever be able to kick in Cleveland's swirling winds as good as dawson. Let's not forget he was the best in the nfl with kickoffs. His placement was perfect and whenever we needed an onside or some kind of specialty kick dawson was right on the money. I take a 22 yd old Phil Dawson over a 22 year old josh cribbs right now no question. Kick returners are a dime a dozen. The reason we so easily let rid of cribbs was because benjamin was better than him.. Hasn't been the same since tearing the acl tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sacrificed himself for the team. But for a 5 or 6 year window, he was the best the special teamer in the league. That's greatness. I'll give you Dawson's longevity. He's outstanding. Just not sure he was ever "the best" for 5 or 6 years. They are both Cleveland Browns Hall of Famers in my book. Zombo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sounds like a Retard with a burnt tongue. Seriously, he makes Trent Richardson sound like Morgan freeman. I'd shoot myself in the dick if I had to listen to that.
